Editorial Policy
Every guide on this site is held to the same standard. This page says what that standard is, who is responsible for it, and how to tell us when a page falls short.
Who publishes these guides
The guides at invisiblemanfix.com are published by The Invisible Man Fix, the team behind the 30-day program of the same name and the texting playbook Left on Read. We write for men who feel overlooked in dating and want practical, honest help: what to do in a specific situation, why it works, and what it cannot do. We are not therapists, doctors or researchers, and nothing here is medical, psychological or legal advice. Where a problem needs a professional, the page says so.
How we use AI
Guides are drafted with the help of AI writing tools, working from a brief our editors write for each page: the question it answers, the reader it is for, the framework it applies, the example it must carry, and the sources it may cite. A draft is never published as generated. Every page is read and edited by a person before it goes live, and the person who approves it is responsible for it. We do not use AI to invent studies, statistics, credentials, testimonials or “real” conversations, and we remove any draft sentence that cannot be traced to something we actually know.
How a page is checked before it goes live
Every page passes an automated gate before a person reviews it. The gate checks structure (the answer comes first, the required sections are present), length, originality against every other page on the site, banned phrases (guarantees, manipulation, contempt for women), an evidence check (a claim that sounds like research must carry a source) and the links. A page that fails is not built, so it cannot be crawled or read. After the gate, an editor checks the thing a machine cannot: would this help a real man with this exact problem tonight, and is it honest about the parts it cannot promise?
Evidence and sources
When a guide makes an empirical claim (what research found, how common something is, how a platform works), it names the source at the bottom of the page. We prefer peer-reviewed research, universities and research institutes, first-party research from the platforms themselves, and established expert organizations. We do not write “studies show” without a study. Most of what we publish is not research; it is practical judgment about ordinary situations, and we label it as such rather than dressing it up as science.
About the example conversations and scenes
The conversations and in-person scenes on these pages are illustrations, written to show a pattern clearly. They are not real messages, real dates or real people, and no detail in them comes from a reader’s private correspondence. Names, places and specifics are invented. Where a page shows a weaker and a better version of the same moment, both are written by us so the difference is visible.
How pages are kept current
Each page shows the date it was last updated. Pages about app features, prompts and prices are reviewed at least every 90 days against current sources; pages about grooming, style and dating logistics every six months; everything else once a year or when a reader tells us something is wrong. When a review changes advice, we change the page rather than adding a correction note at the bottom, and the updated date moves.
The guides and our paid products
The free guides are complete on their own. Each one answers its question in full before mentioning anything we sell. Where a page refers to the 30-day program or the texting playbook, it is because the paid product covers the same ground more completely, not because the free page holds something back. Prices appear only on the product pages, never inside a guide.
Reporting an error
If a page is wrong, out of date, unclear or unfair to anyone, email support@invisiblemanfix.com with the page address and what you found. We read every message, and corrections go live in the next build.
