    It is obvious that a large percentage of photos are not of people. It is obvious that most photos uploaded to a dating website will have faces in them.

        Wouldn't you then just flag as spam any profiles with a high proportion of photos with no faces in them?

  The solution to your solution could then be to generate new faces programmatically in an automated fashion. One tactic could simply be combining faces(in some offline version of something like: http://www.morphthing.com/ http://www.morphthing.com/, no affiliation). Another method could be targeted and non-detrimental manipulation of facial constructs. I could imagine using liquefaction filters designed to operate within a perceptually acceptable range for a human while working towards the the goal of gaining enough change to be new in the eye of the facial recognition algorithms. Still a worthy effort by OkCupid, they'll scrape off the bottom this way.
