This week's guest is Ross (@unsub1989), content creator, activist, accidental political commentator, and self-described 'Paddystinian.' His online journey is a funny one. He started off posting tasteful thirst traps on TikTok and somehow ended up talking about housing, healthcare, and government policy. But today we are parking the politics, and we're getting into his dating life. Ross is bisexual, so he's seeing it from all angles. We talk about his disillusionment with hookup culture, how it's no easier dating men as a man, and some of the mad situations that he's found himself in over the years, including getting catfished on Craigslist and a date getting maximum financial value from him.

Welcome back to The Dating Orange! Three women got in touch with me separately over the space of a few months, all describing different experiences with the same man from a dating app… and it was only when they started comparing notes that they realised they hadn’t just dated the same person, they had all been speaking to the same fake identity. Tune in this week as we ask who is behind Dr. Rudy Stein. And yet, when it came time to meet him in real life, something always came up, something always went wrong… and eventually, after a bit of digging, the entire identity started to fall apart.

Dearbhaile matched with a man claiming to be an Aer Lingus pilot - he definitely was not a pilot but definitely was actually married with kids.

A year later, he popped up on MY Tinder, this time photoshopping his head onto a pilot’s body. We chat through the full story, how it all unfolded, and share some tips on spotting red flags and making sure someone is who they say they are before meeting up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

In this episode, we catch up with Linda, and a lot has changed. She’s not afraid of John anymore or the power he used to have over her. After the women connected, Monica set up a WhatsApp group so everyone could talk and support each other. But as more women joined, not everyone agreed with the mission, and things got a bit tense.When the last podcast aired, some nasty comments started popping up online, questioning how they could have stayed with him or given him money. But Linda’s not letting that get to her.She also talks about John's 'hacking' skills (or lack of), going to court with Monica to get protection from John, and shares more about what he stole from them, including some very intimate things, and gifted to the other ladies. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

When Orlaith met John on Tinder, he seemed like the perfect match for her - funny, thoughtful and kind. But soon the cracks began to show. Unlike the other women, Orlaith didn’t have a child for him to use as a prop. Instead, he tried to isolate her, invaded her privacy and stole from her. Living with a chronic health condition that sometimes affected her memory, John twisted this and used it against her. Orlaith is the fifth woman to come forward with her experience of John, and her story shows just how many ways he could manipulate, deceive and take advantage of the women who trusted him.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

This week it's chit chat with my pal, Amy Coleman, who used to go on dates purely for the plot (and just to get out of the house, as she says herself). Somehow, she managed to attract some very emotional men (brace for stories re poems and plastic roses), and we have a lil cackle going back and forth over our dating stories. These days she’s happily married but the stories live on.... like a museum.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

Katelyn’s happily single, hates dating apps, and knows all about the pressure people put on you to settle down and start popping out kids. She also tells me about the holiday romance that went to shit. Her take on dating is one we could all do with adopting. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

Join myself and Irish writer, poet, and mental health advocate Daragh Fleming - who tells us about the time he got SEXTORTED (technical term, intimate image abuse or image-based sexual abuse) by a Nigerian gang of all people!Instead of spiralling and curling up under the duvet (which, fair), Daragh decided to go public with the story - not for clout, but to help others avoid the same trap and the brutal mental health spiral that can come with it. Once a mental health advocate, always a mental health advocate. It’s raw, honest, and somehow still funny.We also chat about the time he went on a date in Barcelona with a Venezuelan doctor who robbed his favourite shirt. There’s blackmail, Twitter virality, trolls and a rogue medical professional who has no respect for an Irishman's H&M shirt.
