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. For two weeks, he spoofed about his job, travels and life as a pilot, until Dearbhaile found out the truth and put the fear of God into him over text. 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 un...

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 ...

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...

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.

This week it's Katelyn Divilly from The Traitors Ireland.. she was the second traitor booted (apols for any potential spoiler there but get with the times). We have a good chat about the madness inside the castle, the whole “we can control her” weirdness, and then of course her own dating life. 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. ...

We're gonna chat about strange world of paypigging and FinDom. Firstly - big thanks to my pal Fergal Darcy for lending his voice to the paypig’s messages - I think you have a calling there hun!

I start by sharing the story of my own on/off seven-month communication with a paypig which was aided by both my fella and the girls. The PayPiggy himself was meant to be a guest on this pod before suddenly cutting it off and blocking me.

THIS WEEK I’m joined by my pal Bria - a TikTok creator you may know as briakingbad or COLETTE - and her mam Dera, a retired psychotherapist. The two of them together are comedy gold. We give our opinions on some listener dating stories, Bria shares her rotten tale of a man sending her a pic of his 'puckered shitter', and I tell the story of how I somehow ended up with a little paypig of my own. Stay tuned ‘til the end… and keep an ...

I always thought it was poor form how Irish lads spoke to South Americans, so say hello to Ana from Brazil and Lucia from Venezuela to chat about what it’s really like dating in Ireland as a South American woman.

Lucia’s been here five years and has been on over 50 dates — all with Irish or European men. Ana’s been here three and shares her experience of a 1.5-year relationship with an Irish man who struggled with addiction.

We look ...

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 ca...

John, 47, from Wexford seemed like the dream - charming, funny, attentive and everything a woman could want. But behind the charm was a darker truth: compulsive lying, cheating, stealing, drugs, manipulation, and worse.

A prolific liar. A manipulator. A thief. An addict. A mentally abusive serial cheater.

Today I’m joined by the gas Megan Burke – a singer-songwriter from Swords who’s had more than her fair share of shit-shows. We’re covering her cheating ex, the horrors she’s encountered on dating apps (including getting blocked on Tinder - but it's mostly just the messages from men), and what it’s like dating as a "BIG SEXY RIDE". You can look forward to stories about immature men, creepy fetish requests, and some grim date experie...

The two TikTok gals, Kasey Campion and Lauren Murtagh, fill me in on just how hard it is trying to find a decent fella these days. Both only in their early 20s, but they have been THROUGH it - cheaters, weirdos and everything in between. 
PLUS, I’m catching up with a blind date I set up between two of my own pals (from totally different parts of my life) who have both been unlucky in love. Did I finally make a match? Probably not. T...
