What are “trust signals”?
Kaufmich now has a new feature that helps escorts better assess clients before they start chatting with them or agreeing to a date.
For this, different pieces of information about your behavior on Kaufmich are evaluated, for example:
how active you are (number of escorts you have contacted),
whether there have been reports about you or whether escorts have put you on their ignore list,
how past dates with you have been rated by escorts,
whether your profile has certain trust‑related indicators (such as a verified phone number, Plus membership, etc.).
From this information, an overview of trust signals is created for escorts.
Who can see these trust signals?
The trust signals are only visible to escorts.
You as a client do not see this overview.
-
Escorts can view this information:
in a client’s profile, and
directly in their inbox / messenger.
What information about me goes into the trust signals?
The trust signals consist of three areas:
-
General trust signals
This takes into account:how complete your profile is,
verifications,
whether you have a Plus membership.
Escorts see icons that show how many of these signals you fulfill – a total of 6.
-
Activity Pulse
This area shows escorts:how many contacts (chats) you have had with escorts in total since you registered,
what your report rate is (how often you have been reported in relation to your contacts and these reports have been upheld by support),
what your ignore rate is (how often you have been added to escorts’ ignore lists in relation to your contacts),
and how this compares to the average of all clients on Kaufmich.
Experience reports / date ratings
After a date, escorts can rate the date with you. From this, a star rating is created that summarizes all date ratings. The overall rating is calculated from the average of your overall date ratings.
Why is Kaufmich doing this?
The trust signals are mainly intended to:
increase safety and transparency for escorts,
help them recognize more quickly who they are dealing with,
and help both sides make dates more predictable, pleasant and reliable.
For you as a client, this means:
If you behave respectfully and reliably, this will be reflected in the long term in your trust signals (e.g. no reports, good ratings, verifications).
This can significantly improve your chances of getting a date and of receiving replies from escorts.
Can I see or manage my trust signals somewhere?
You cannot view your trust signals directly.
With your trust‑level overview and the date reviews visible in your profile, you still keep a comprehensive overview.
In short: the trust‑signal overview is intended as an internal tool for escorts so they can arrange a date with you faster and more efficiently.
You can influence your trust signals by:
filling out your profile honestly and seriously,
completing verifications,
using a Plus membership (if it makes sense for you),
writing to escorts politely and respectfully,
keeping agreements (punctuality, payment, respecting boundaries),
not cancelling dates without good reason or at extremely short notice,
not asking for “AO” services (AO = unprotected sex).
All of this has a positive effect on:
the likelihood of reports,
your ignore rate,
and your date ratings – and therefore on the image escorts see of you.
Are personal data displayed?
The trust signals do not display any additional private data that would not already be known as part of your profile or your use of the platform.
They are about behavioral and usage data on Kaufmich (e.g. number of reports, ignore entries and date ratings).
Phone numbers, for example, are not displayed in plain text, only whether a number is verified.
What happens if I have bad ratings or many reports?
If escorts have had bad experiences with you in the past, this may show up as:
a higher report rate,
a higher ignore rate,
a worse star rating for date experiences.
This can lead to:
some escorts being more cautious, or
deciding against further contact with you.
However, you are able to change your rating by:
communicating fairly, respectfully and clearly,
not cancelling at short notice without a good reason,
not asking for services that are not offered,
accepting agreed rules and prices,
not asking for AO services,
not haggling over prices.
Your image can improve again if escorts have good experiences with you.
Does this have anything to do with my trust level?
On Kaufmich, there is the trust level, which you can also see yourself.
Both belong together, but are aimed at different target groups:
Trust level → visible to you and to escorts = general indicator.
Trust signals → visible to escorts, more detailed information about your client profile.
In summary – for you this means: the better your image on Kaufmich, the better your chances of success when it comes to escort contacts and arranging dates!
