Abstract: A user profile database system comprising a database for storing a plurality of user profile records. Each user profile record comprises a user profile data associated with a human user. The system also includes a processor configured for accepting user profile data from human users and transmitting user profile datum to a third party clearinghouse for verification of each human user's profile data. If said clearinghouse verifies the user profile data from a human user, then a user profile record based on the user profile data is stored in the system's database. The system also provides a graphical user interface for accepting search parameter from a second human user, and wherein the processor is further configured for performing a search of the plurality of user profile records in the database for the search parameters of the second user and displaying search results of said search to the second user.
