Dude, I get the bloody joke!

I'm very specifically asking how they are impersonating it on Tinder. Is it a picture? Is there a field in Tinder you can fill out with your job title? Do they write it in the description?

And I'm asking how Tinder is verifying that.

Yes

They're not. It's fake

Oh, I see now. It's a satire article! Given I don't use Tinder and have seen exclusive dating apps, it really wasn't far-fetched.

Thanks for clearing that up.
