I get the joke, what I don't get is how one can impersonate a doctor on Tinder. Are people wearing lab coats in their pictures or something?

The joke isn't that they're impersonating a medical professional. It's that they're impersonating the title of "doctor" by claiming a PhD. Someone with an Art History PhD is a doctor, but the joke here is that they aren't really deserving of that title.

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.
