Abstract
A computer implemented method includes supplying to a client device prompts for a first individual to specify matching criteria for a potential introduction to a second individual. The matching criteria includes a filter to sort a pool of individuals by a facial feature categorized by a facial recognition module. Matching criteria from the client device are collected. Matches between the first individual and a pool of individuals are generated based upon the matching criteria. The matches are supplied to the client device. A match acceptance by the first individual of the second individual is collected. Attributes of the second individual are verified to selectively establish a verified status.
