Editorial policy
Honest Match Journal aims to describe matchmaking culture with care, precision and independence. We distinguish established information from interpretation and correct published errors when they are brought to our attention.
Accuracy and context
We check factual statements against suitable sources before publication and give readers enough context to understand what a claim does and does not establish. We avoid presenting personal preferences as universal rules or promising that a particular approach will produce a romantic outcome.
Independence and interests
Editorial decisions are made for reader relevance and clarity. A commercial relationship does not determine our conclusions, and we disclose a relevant interest when it could affect how readers understand a piece.
Corrections
If you spot a factual error or a passage that needs clarification, contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers.
Partner material and illustrations
Paid, supplied or otherwise partner-supported content is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial material. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where relevant, that origin is identified, and illustrations are not presented as documentary evidence.
Connection begins with attention
Honest Match Journal looks at the choices around meeting, not at formulas for finding a perfect partner. We favour clear distinctions, thoughtful questions and room for people to decide what suits them.
