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 experiences. Megan’s a laugh a minute so stick the kettle on and enjoyyyy.

up a few videos on your TikTok and Instagram about
the nightmare date? Well it was it that apps more particularly?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Fifty five? Thank you? Sorry, Megan, if you're going to
say that, right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Probably in the time that I've been single, I've probably
been on yeah, fifty five dates, but I haven't been
documenting them both. Some of them obviously were were worse
than others. I am single to this day, three years
this day, three years and I found out my ex
was cheating on me this day three years ago. So
I gave him the chop. I was his third I
(01:38):
was his third girlfriend he had two. I was the
other other woman guards a year, a year.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I'm sorry, is this a fellow that you want to
sit inty with?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Nope, that was Patches. That's Patches. And No, that was
the dog. That was another guy, that was my dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That was No.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I was with him for seven years. That the guy
in Jesus. Yeah, I am thirty two.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think thirty two, and it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh my god, this day four weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh, you're nearly thirty three. I'm nearly thirty three, baby,
so young, like you if you said you were twenty four?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Do you get that all the time, all the time,
like all the time. I went on a date with
a forty five year old this week, I swear I know,
and I say to God, it was like I was.
He was walking around with his like teenage and daughter.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
What did you do on your date this week? What
did you do well.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I went on Sunday. We just went for a drink
and then we went for a drink and we went
for a drink and then I don't really want to
say the rest, but oh we went we went.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh my joking, forty five, Like I'm I've gone out
and like, like as In was saying, for like multiple
dates or whatever, fellas who were ten years older, and
I think I would have been twenty eight, twenty nine,
they would have been, you know, thirty eight or thirty nine.
But sometimes when I meet them and they're ten years older,
I was like, Jaez, you look a bit fucking decrepit.
(03:10):
And I start, do you know, like I think it'll
be the way I'll get to whatever age forty and
I'd be like forty year olds are like young or whatever,
but then ten years older. It's just in relation to
whatever you age now, whatever age are now, Like.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, well, I mean you think it's take. It's different
with men, because like I feel like men are always immature.
I don't think I've ever met a man that I'm like, wow,
he's got his shit together. I genuinely I don't think
I've ever met a man that's got a shit together,
no matter what age they are, do you know what
I mean? It does at matter if you're forty, It doesn't
matter if you're fifty. I'm like, you're still You're still
(03:47):
twenty seven, You're still the front series the Fellas.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, that was ten years older, said I remember. We
were out in Wheelands having a few pints and he
said that, he said, this is kind of embarrassing for me,
but you're actually a lot more mature than me. And
I was like, yeah, that is really fucking embarrassing, Like that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Is embarrassing for you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Absolutely, babes a girl you shouldn't be. Yeah, exactly, and sorry,
tell me about the fellow cheap man. Ye how did
you find out?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh? I've actually never spoken about this on the internet before,
but I absolutely will tell.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
You now an exclusive.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh my god, it's goods. Yes, So it's really it's
like a dirty you know, Dirty John the film or
the programs, the series. Yes, it's like a fucking story
of that, or like the Tinder Swindler. I storry to god,
So I just had like weird suspicions something's going wrong.
I checked his following list the other way. You just know,
(04:43):
I just woke up one more and I was like,
I'm having never looked at his following list before. It's like,
I'm going to look at his following list. And I
looked at like the fourth person down. I was like,
I recognize that name? Why do I recognize that name?
Clicked in all photos of them all over her Instagram?
Like last week when he was telling me he was working,
he was actually gallivanting around Dublin City Center on a
week's holiday or her.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Where was he from? Are you allowed to say, hey,
he's from the South Side from Dublin, Okay, And.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, that's pretty much how I found out. And I
rang and I was like, hey, what the fuck? And
he was like and I was like no, no, no, no, no,
none of that. Now, come on, tell me what the
story is. And he was like, oh, she's my mate.
And I was like, grant what you'd want to get
to my house now fairly quickish to talk about this?
(05:33):
Obviously it's over. Like even if she is your mate,
which she wasn't obviously, but like even if she was,
you still lied to me, So it's over. It's done.
So anyways, he comes to my house, my dad. At
this stage, I can't hold my piss. I come on.
I was living at home at the time. I come
on and down the stairs, my man dad walking the door.
I'm like, so and so was cheating on me. And
they were like what and they were like, don't bring
(05:54):
him around here, like your dog will go mad or whatever.
So he was like, oh, he came to my house
and I was like, get in my car and I
drove in silence to the church car park and we
got to the church car park and we were sitting
there and I was like, right, go speak and he
was like what do you mean right, go speak? And
I was like, go, like tell me what, what's like,
what's happening? And he was like to stand on the fucker.
(06:15):
And I was like, if you cared about me, which
you clearly don't, but if you did, you would just
open your phone, go up through those messages and show
me that there's nothing for me to be concerned about it.
And he was like no, and I was like, okay,
then we're done. And we kind of had a back
and forth for maybe maybe five minutes, and then I
told him to get the fuck out of my car.
And I never never smoked to him again ever. Never
(06:36):
smoked him again, and it was really hard, but.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I knew that there was another one again.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh so that's like this whole story is like another
Like it goes on up until like only last year
and we're broken up three years. I found out more
information like last year, but basically reached out to the
girl again because sorry, my ex had light to me
on a day and app then like a year and
a later, and I was like, hold on, you cheating
on me and here you are plenty of fish in me,
(07:04):
Go fuck yourself. So at that time kind of you know,
and all the trauma comes back and you're like oh.
So I went onto her profile and saw all the
photos that they had together were gone, and I was like, okay,
now was my last chance to get the information. So
I texted her off my best mate's phone because she
had me blocked from the first time I found out
he was cheating. I messaged her being like, hey, like
(07:27):
I don't want to jump down your throat, but like,
what's going on between you and X?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Or why did she blood?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So for whatever reason, she believed what he was saying
and I was mad, or I was an ex, or
I was this or whatever, right, so what happened? Then?
Oh yeah, so I had messaged her and she had
blocked me straight away. That's grand. So that was the
end of that. And then at Christmas time, when he
liked me again, I was like, right, Efa, who I live?
I was like, give me your phone. I need to
(07:53):
message her one more time because she already had me blocked.
And I was like, look, I'm not trying to pry,
and if you tell me to fuck off, like you
absolutely can, but this is my situation with X. What's yours?
And then she told me around the same time that
I had messaged her, like literally only a couple of
months later, she had found out about another girl that
he'd been in a relationship with for like the last
(08:14):
six or seven months. And so yeah, that's how I
found out. I was the third woman.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Isn't that well? How does it feel to be the
third woman? Like as in do you think it would
hurt less? As in he was cheating on two other
women with you?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Was it? It's so well? It's mistress. Oh yeah, I
was the I was mistress squared. I was like, mistress, mistress, mistress,
make oh my god, I can't say that word. Mistress mistress. Honestly,
when I found out, I was like enraged, but a
lot had gone on in our relationship for the last month.
(08:52):
He was kind of playing with the idea of going
away and stuff, So I think I kind of grieved
the relationship as it was, and then it wasn't the
worst in the world when we had broken up, because
I had done all the grieving. But it's you know,
it's it's weird because I only found out about the
other other woman like a year and a bit ago,
and that was like halfway through, so that was like
(09:14):
a year and a half sorry, after we broke up,
so I kind of already processed what was going on.
So when I found out, I was just like I
knew that in my heart and soul that there was something.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Else going on.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Like I'm not stupid. Women have instincts, We have like reactions,
Like I knew, I knew the story that he was
telling me wasn't right, and I had a play by
play of what I thought was right in my head
and then the ex confirmed it all for me, and.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, I actually sense not a people.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No no, he changed his picture on revelute about seven Yeah, yeah, no,
wait to hear this, wait and hear this. A couple
of months ago, he changed to him in a random
kitchen wearing my music merch hoodie, what the hoody? Hod
you with my merch from my first single from a
couple of years ago that I gave him when we
(10:04):
were in a relationship. Isn't that mento?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Why would you do that? Like even if he was
wearing it at home or whatever? The fuck? Like, why
would you put it as your profile picture? That seems
like some sort of It's he's sending a message Wild.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And what's even funnier is that, like I would never
have seen that only for I get my shampoo from
Love Salon Services. So I was typing into Revolute, like
figuring out when the last time I bought it and
how much I paid for it. So I just typed
in love into my transactions, and like an old transaction
from his came home saying like fucking love you or
someone set me money for something. And that's how I
(10:39):
saw it, Like I don't even have them on my
phone anymore. It just was an old transaction. I was like,
this guy needs to get alive, I swear to god.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Obsessed Wild, So you're out here now a single three
years you're looking for you?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Can you blame me? Can you blame me? After that? God,
I didn't even get into the trauma of the first relationship,
and we won't go there because that was insane as well.
No cheating when everything else. Sorry, what did you ask
me there? Am I?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, she's you have to going through it with the
fellas anyway, so like, but I would have been like
with the relationship that I last had five and a
half years, I was like desperately wanted to get out
with that relationship for a few years, but I would
say I didn't have the confidence to leave, and then
finally finally did. He moved out, All good, He got
(11:32):
a girlfriend two months later. Fucking fluis you know? Two
months later he was still texting me being like, I'm
taking away for your birthday. I already had a present
and all, and I was like, no, no, yeah, this
is wrong. Now, you shouldn't be at that, you know.
And yeah, he had had some bad happen to him
when I broke up with him then as well for
(11:54):
his family. So I was still in contact with him,
trying to help him through it. And I was like
trying to let and then being like, no, no, we
can't be going to no hotels. Don't be getting any
parents of assics for my birthday. I need. That's what
the person was. And he then he just stopped texting me,
and he put up a picture of a Raturan sausage
in some fucking shy hotel, the Green Hills Hotel is
(12:16):
it green something there on the motorway.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm not getting treated to hotels, you joking me. I
having a clue.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, not, you won't want to get treated anyway. I
showed the girls. I was like, he's off with another
with some woman there, and they were like no, no, no,
like that's a real dry Raturan sausage. Like he wouldn't
put that up.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Girls are insane, They're raal for everything, insane. Oh my god,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Oh but no. After that and I thought, all right,
I'm gonna go dating, gonna go dating, and I'm gonna
find somebody very nice and then, you know, then then
I'll have a nice boyfriend. Obviously he took fifty five
fucking goals, but we.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Got and you found that's that's great. I'm delighting. I'm
delight for you.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And you're looking for a nice boyfriend, are you No?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
No, no, I think my days of nice boyfriends are over.
I think when I broke up with my ex three
years ago, I went like straight back into Dayton because
I was like I need to fill this hole somehow,
and not that whole I mean the mesphoricohol. I was like,
I need to I need to get I need to
take back my power, you know what I mean, like
(13:22):
like I needed to take it back. So I went
dating like I was Jesus. I was dating.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I was dating.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I was not a new date every week like the
girls will tell you. They're like Jesus Christ, who's this
And I'm like, oh remember the guy with the hat
and the eyes and they're like oh yeah, yeah yeah,
hat eyes got you know yourself. So no, I'm not looking.
I'm not looking for relationship. But I was for a
while and then I realized, oh, I had so much
work to do with myself. And then like the idea
(13:48):
of marriage and kids has never been something that's ever
appealed to me ever, Like years and years ago, I
remember like my ex was like, I know he was
sniffing around proposing, and in my head, I was like,
please don't ask me to marry you. I don't know
how I'm gonna say no, please please, please, please please no.
It could have been the fact that I hated them,
That could have been, like any reason I want to
didn't want to get married. But like even now I
(14:10):
think of like, ah, the lovely men, and I'm just like,
oh God, I don't know if I could be ours now,
having one living in my gaff and all. But no,
I still love Dayton. I love Dayton. I love going
one date. I love having the crack, I love having
a flirt. I love I love it. But like, I'm
not out here like looking for the man of my dreams.
I don't think I'm in therapy. Oh, I on Raya, which.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is you guys, because you're fucking well all the followers,
you're an influencer.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I don't. I don't know. I waited nine months to
be accepted. Nine months. I completely forgot about it, and
then all of a sudden, I opened my fucking phone
one night to pee in the middle of the night,
and I got a message me like you have been
accepted to RAYA, And I was like, what, I forgot
about that? So I'm on RAYA. I quit for ages
(15:01):
and I recently got got back on it, like only
this month, gone up by three year own month, sorry,
twenty year old nineteen ninety nine. Every month to see
a couple of zealisters go fuck yourselves?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You see you've seen not allow? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I don't think I'm not allowed to. I'm not You're
not allowed apparently, Like I mean, at the end of
the day, it's just a fucking dating app. Who have
I seen on it? I've seen Cara Delavine. I don't know.
Again again, I don't know if you can like put
this up or whatever. I would be, Yeah, I would,
I would be bisexual. Well, actually I don't know. I
wouldn't class myself as bisexual. But I have dated women
(15:36):
as well as men. I do lean towards men. It's
just they're just they're just so fucking good looking. I
just but they're so whole good the same time, but
they're so good looking, and I'm just like, oh, oh, now,
don't be saying that they do. Indeed they do indeed,
but on Ray you can kind of like you kind
(15:58):
of just see anyone. As far as I know, I
didn't even get the option to like go between like
gender or whatever. But I've seen like a good few
like Love Islanders And who does I think.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
See your mander with the shorts j shorts from normal people?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Paul Mescal haven't seen him. You get you get five
three d M slides. Even if you don't match with
the person on Raya, you're allowed like slide in their
d ms. So if I had to seene Paul, I
definitely would have slid slid in. I'd have put me
fucking gaa shorts on and slid right DMS. So now
(16:37):
I'm Ontraya. I'm banned from Tinder, have been for like
two years. And well, that's a great question. I don't
really know. They wouldn't ever tell me. They told me
that I wasn't allowed to know my own information. They're like,
that's gdprs like GDP are about myself? Can you not
tell me information about myself? Anyways, they wouldn't give me.
But what I can, what I can, what I think
(16:58):
happened is so men obviously come at me with some
much shite and I just give it right back to them,
always always give it right back to them. And of
course they don't like that. Men don't Men don't like
to be called out on the ship, as we know.
So I was having a few of those conversations men,
and I'm not want to let things slide. I'm like, no, no,
(17:18):
I'm the type of person that is able for these conversations,
whereas like a lot of other women wouldn't be able,
like they wouldn't have the confidence, that they wouldn't have
the want, whereas I'm like, no, I'm going to teach
this book or a lesson. Right. So I'd have a
few like back and forth to people, and then I
got a message from a guy being like I'm looking
for an Irish wife and I was like great, and
(17:38):
he was like, oh, you'll never have to work again.
And I was like yes, stunning, even better. And he
was like I make good money. And I was like, well, hen,
what did you make and he was like, I'm not
telling you. I was like, hold on, you're going to
come at me with it. You know, happen to never
have to work again, move to the States, but you're
not going to tell me how which money you make.
And he was like, oh, it's enough. And I was
like send me a bank statement then, and then the
(18:00):
next morning, now I'll go on my Tinder account with
band for life, So I'm presuming it's something to do
with that or someone reported me for telling them to
go fuck themselves?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Is this an American?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He was, of course he was. Yeah. Well, I mean, sorry,
why don't people.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
In Tinder like look at the fucking messages and be like,
clearly this man is a dose And she was taking
the piss like why wonder like, oh my gosh, she
asked him for a bank statement, you're out of here,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But he was the one that like came on to
me with I can pay for your life. So it's
kind of like, well, why why is he allowed to
say that? But yeah, I'm not allowed to have a
joke back and ask for his bank statements and his
credit card information. I didn't ask for credit card information,
but I should have.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
There's a screenshot here that I like that you go.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
On so which one? So many of them?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Brown man?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Oh I seen them a bumbling today.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So you had agreed to go on a date with
this fella before, and you were chatting away, all going grace, no, all.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Going okay, So all going okay, I wouldn't be calling the.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Great okay, Well, it was going on it was anyway,
it was gone, it was going to go on a
first day.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I said, you know what, man, let's do it, knowing
full well that it was never going to happen, but
I did say, yeah, cool, let's go on a date Grant.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
So he said, who is your celebrity cush crush by
the way, physical type question mark, I have a doubt
as you don't come across as a person who will
go out with the brown or ethnic guy. Then you said, well,
what a strange thing to say. I literally don't know
what to say, and he said, it's not strange, it's facts,
the sweetie. Then you ended up sending them back a
voice note basically saying that you weren't happy because he
(19:39):
called you racist. And then he said, oh my god,
what have you even heard? Geez? Did I ever say
that or assumed you jackass? I can't believe it came
out with the jackass. After that, you were like just
being offended.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I was, and you know, I actually I wasn't even
that I was offended. It was more than I was
shocked that. I was like, how can you go around
throwing your own shit at people? Like that's obviously something
that he's come across before, and it's horrendous to think
that someone has to go through that and like that
even be a thing that they have to worry about
that someone might like because of my skin tone, like
(20:17):
that ship. And he's obviously been through that and decided
that I was one of the girls that was going
to say that I didn't like brown guys, even though
I'd already gone on a day.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But surely it's not racism. It's just a preference.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
See now, yeah, I don't I don't know. M I
do think it is a preference. But at the same time,
like I think a preference is more like if someone's like, oh,
I don't like fat birds, I'm like, okay, right, that's
that's that's fine, that's a preference. But like if someone
said that I don't like Asian people, I'd be like,
(20:54):
what have you have? You just not like a whole
a whole race. How can you know that you don't
like a whole race of someone.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I have a friend from India. We've been friends now
for five years maybe, and he's been on the as
it's a good bit. But he said to me before
like he would like he hangs around with well he has.
He has a group of Indian people as well, but
there's a big group of white Irish people that he
(21:24):
hangs around with as well. And he's great crack, like
he loves the sesh, loves going out, loves fillam s,
swim and whatever. Like he's fucking really in the Irish
culture here, He's doing it all. And he said he
would love he would love to date Irish women, but
they don't give him a chance.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That makes me sad, Like, I don't know if it's
a part of it sometimes, like there is a language barrier,
and you know, if someone is just coming over from
from wherever they're coming from and they're in Ireland, like
I have. I have so much respect for people who
speak more than one language. I find it incredible. But
I'm like, my jokes are going to be lost on
(22:01):
someone who only speaks fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Mm hmm, yeah, well that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I was wonder is that part of it?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, Like I'm not to it to the cultural barrier,
I don't know. I don't like, there's just so many
things that can go wrong in a relationship as it
is if they have the same culture and like background
or whatever. And then I think about you know, if
you have to take into consideration like if their parents
are stricter or they have certain rules, or you know,
(22:29):
like say like yeah Hindu and they like his da
is like at him, like to get married or whatever.
And there's a lot of just cultural things that they
impose on their children. And I've been thinking, oh, fuck,
I don't know if I'm maybe for that now. Yeah,
it would be the love of my life, but unfortunately
I wouldn't be able for it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Well, I mean I wouldn't be able for someone's dad
telling me to marry their son. Know. In general, I'm like, oh,
I think I've passed.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I went on a date with Spanish fella and I
had told him a joke. We were driving out on
our second day to the that cinema out there and
Swords that movies, that's Swords. Yeah, it was a nice one,
that nice cinema that the I'm from Swords at the state.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I feel like I get like infections just sitting on
their chairs. Movies.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So it is that in the shopping center, yeah, lit
the one like.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Do you usually go to.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Coolock?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Well, I actually think the oldie than cool Lock is lovely.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, I think I think it's nice.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I think it's nice of the movies Thats Swords.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Outside there now. But he I told him a joke
on the drive out there, and he looked at me,
waiting repeatedly for the punchline after I had said it's thought,
I can't a language carrier isn't for me either.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's like, I'm sorry, Like sometimes wh jokes are so
specific that like Irish people don't get it, or my
friends are just like what And I'm like, oh, you
have to either in twenty twelve for you to get
the reference. So I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I just
don't know. I mean, I'm not I'm not opposed to
at all. I've gone on dates with men who's English
is not their first language, and I've got second, third
(24:12):
dates with them. But humor is such a such an
important thing for me, Like if you can't make me laugh,
I just don't want it to do with it. And
I know this is so like sounds so like big headed,
but like I feel like I'm hilarious and that is
like one of the things I have to get men
is like my humor.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And I'm like, if you can't, sare being funnier than them.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Oh and oh a lot of them aren't. A lot
of them mand a lot of them don't like it.
So then I have to just, like you know, rely
on my dashing good looks. I don't want to have
to do that. I want to just be able to
have a laugh, you know what I mean. And if
someone can't understand my joke, whether they're non Irish or
they are Irish, and like I can't, I can't. I
can't do this. If you're not going to think I'm
(24:54):
the funniest thing, I'll stract that.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Call it off, Call it off. But you have a
few more screenshats here? Who and you woke up to
this one morning on bumble and it was a fella.
These are like multiple messages, one after another. He was
fucking fly out thumping a keyboard. You both have to ask,
why do you ask? If you think men find you
(25:17):
attractive or not. Some men are going to find you repulsive.
Other men are going to think you're the milky bar
of women. The truth is, who gives the fuck? Somebody
is going to want to fuck your brains out at
some point, So live life while you can. When you
what the fuck? Wait it was when you get rolled,
(25:40):
enjoy it when you don't relish it, enjoy the eye rolling.
When you get enjoy it when you don't relish, enjoy
the eye roll.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Was enjoyed the eye rolling of orgasms.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
What does he?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I meant to ask, Actually, what is that? What does
he mean? The start to this? Why do you ask
if you think men find you attractive or not? What
did you have your.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I did have really wild stuff, well not wild, but
like like again just funny, Like I think one of
my promts was do you think and I think whine
was that I'm a riot? Question mark or something like that,
like that I'm hot or something like that. But I'm like,
that's just that's just my humor. Like you're obviously you're
swiping right on me. You're you think I'm a riot,
Like obviously you.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
And so I think, But like this was I haven't
spoken to that man in a couple of weeks. I'd
matched him in Belfast, and like obviously nothing happened when
I was in Belfast, so I never contained the conversation
never continued, and then I woke up one day like
three weeks after the last time we spoke and he
was coming at me at that and I was like,
what were you doing last night that he found that conversation,
(26:55):
went looked back through my profile, looked at my prompts,
and then decided to spit all your you're that issue issues.
Honestly though, it's very funny, like I do just all
think it's gas. Like I don't let anything that a
man ever says affect me nowadays, especially on the Internet,
because I'm like, this person, until I meet someone in
real life, they're not a person, do you know what
(27:16):
I mean? Like in terms of dating, Like if I
just see a profile, I'm like, this could be anyone
behind these profile pictures. Until I've met you in person,
you're nobody. So that was basically just a random stranger
deciding to offload and his issues on me. But I
love that he was thinking of me.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I'm like, thanks, Pipes, you're on the internet. People know you.
Do they ever slide into your DMS?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
A couple of times? Not loads, I think I honestly,
sometimes I think men are scared of me. If they
follow me on Instagram, they'll know the type of person
I am. And I don't think a lot of people
a man had told me before I did the slide
in your DMS, because I see the type of stuff
you put in your stories and might be terrified. Even
the top I've done my job, like you.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You ugly things been said to you as well.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh god, the worst things imaginable people have said to me,
not even like in a dating sense, just on like
being on the internet, like as a whole vile. But
then in the Dayton sense, WHOA right? I have a
few screenshots, and so I have one here from twenty
twenty from a man called Erland, a very ugly man.
Of course they always end when are you gonna take
(28:24):
control of your weight? Meg? I was like, oh, okay,
and then try to this on Tinder and then try
to tell me that he had a big dick and
that he wanted to fuck me. And I was like, oh,
what are you like obviously just trying to neg me.
And I'm like, oh, babes, that was on fat fore years.
Earland on Tinder is not going to stop me from
being flat, do you know? I was just like, go away.
(28:45):
That was the one. Nother one had a normal conversation
with a man and then all of a sudden he
said have you ever done an orgy? Before I was okay, lovely,
I used to have all my profile like a I'm
a big fat ride or something like that, or like
big fat ride, big fat something, big fat I am
(29:09):
a big fat ride. So that's it's funny again. It's
all just you know, it's just it's just my my lore,
as they say. And so so this guy goes, how's
it going on? And I obviously didn't reply that because
you I'm not replying to Horne. And then two hours later,
do you get much child rub?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
What? And I was like, I know. And it's even
funnier because like I don't even unmatch.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So I just let them sit there, men getting rejected
and then they're like absolutely infested with rage and they're like,
all right, what can I say now? This girl take
her down a peg?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, And it's like that I do get chow rub,
and I have lots of things to stop to, you
know what I mean, Like you're not like, what's happening here? Anyways?
Another one? Are you that crazy amazing singer that has
a sister of also sayings? And I said, hah, yeah,
I think that's me. He said, oh you are amazing?
Are you in good in bed as you are at singing?
(30:09):
And then I obviously didn't reply, and like twenty minutes
lay here, he text me saying too much question mark,
and I just replied saying, yeah, too much conor. I
mean again, I just think it's hilarious. Like, I just
think it's so funny and it gives me great content.
Oh actually, side not. I had a girl that was
a quote on a quote unquote fan, and I don't
mean like fan in that way. I mean like reply
(30:30):
to a lot of my stuff for years and followed
me for years and has given me many and many messages.
I think there was over seventy when I counted replies
to her of her reply to my story, and she
told me I was desperate for posting screenshots of what
men say on dating apps. To me, you were desperate, Yeah,
I was desperate. And then it makes me look that
it's boring and I'm desperate, and it makes me it
(30:53):
makes me look desperate, And I was like what what hey,
why does it make me look desperate? Anyways, I went
back and forth for for ages and and she eventually
apologized and I was like, thank you very much, thank
you very much. I had undergoing tender say hy, can
you please reply to.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Me on bumble? Ah? And did you? No?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
He didn't. Don't know you're not going to get me
on Tinder and say hey, can you reply to me
on bumbo?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Bless him? You thought you were a special.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well he I don't blame him, too fair, I am
pretty special. Another guy I just opened the conversation bumble
and then he said hey, shnid. I was like, oh lord,
my name is Began. And then a guy let me
message saying oh, you're officially one hundredth match on Tinder,
and I said, ah, I feel honored. You're officially my
(31:45):
eight hundred and seventy eight match. Oh when can we
meet so I can stop being a stranger and slap you?
Oh sorry, that was a different conversation, so you took
took the tone down right there. This is a This
is a like a couple of messages back and forth,
right and this kind of goes back to the original
(32:07):
point of dating laps as to why why it is
the state that it is? House things? Random question would
a fetish be too weird for you? And I said,
the only thing weird about a fellash is bringing it
up on a first message, and he said, ha, good
one while you're on plenty of fish, so get used
to it. It's also is good to say that first,
so I'm not wasting my time further. And I said, nah,
(32:29):
I don't have to get used to it. Men don't
get to just say what they want because they're not
a dat now And he said, what the fuck are
you talking about? Look, I honestly think you should go
be a lesbian or stop assuming dumb ship. I have
a fetish. Yes, I asked you, are you open minded person?
To save both of us time? It says your name
is Meg when really it should be Karen. That's a
(32:49):
good one. I was like, yeah, I'm like on. I
literally didn't eve reply because I was like, I can't
reply to that. I'm like, like the real Like you
can't just get to say what you want two women
because you're on a dating that Like that's insanity to me,
But like you can get a looking women And I'm
still like, are you on those?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Are we dating the same guy pages? Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
But I don't look at them because I don't have
any faith in men, and I really really don't have
any faith in men, like when I look at.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Them, true, but like, yeah, I agree with that. There
will be women women who have like you know, lost
an awful lot of hope and whatever, and then they
see only bad things there and they're like, oh my god, no,
fuck this, there are no good men out there now.
In Veris there are posts put up a bit of
men on it, and they're like, oh, no, lovely fella
or whatever, but yeah, it's between well they are or
(33:36):
else there's a supposed absolutely no comments on her or whatever.
But yeah, generally there is a bit of dirt both. Yeah,
women will say on that page. You know, if somebody
puts up something where a fella has been like talking
about fetish or whatever. Very early on, women are like,
oh but sure he's allowed, you know, let's not kink
shame or whatever here. And I'm like, yeah, that's fine,
(33:57):
kind of a bit down the line or whatever talking
about the and outs.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
But like.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm like, I'm on these day and app to find
a relationship well whatever I was, and I'm not out
here straight away, like I'm fucking having my lunch here.
I'm having like a fucking chicken roll at one o'clock
on a Monday, and then this fella is like, you know,
I like pissing on people. What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm like, I don't think I'm eating my chicken filler row,
leave me alone. No, I look, I'm not a king
shamer in the slightest. I think more power to you
every as long as everything is consensual on like, get
your bag, do what you gotta do, But like, don't
come at me in a first or second message when
nothing has been discussed anything sexual.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Do you ever try field?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes? I actually am on field right now, and that's
where I met the guy that I went out when
on Oh no, that's actually like I didn't have met
him on hinge sus but on someone field the next day.
I have tried field. Have I ever met anyone off field?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I only had it. I had it like maybe a
year ago, and then I got off and then I
go through faces as you know, delete my date naps.
I deleted them for a couple of weeks, and then
I'd be like, oh my gin is starting to taste
like I need to read a lot bumble. So then
I get back into the swing of it, and then
I got I'm off them again. So I've in total
(35:17):
I done path Field, plenty of fish, tender Hinge, Raya,
and there was another one I think it was called
three Phone, but when I got on, I realized it
was really just for Like I thought Field was like
extreme for like what people were looking for, but three Phone,
(35:39):
like you couldn't even screenshot it, like the scream went
black when you screenshot it. Wow. Yeah. So I quickly
got off that and a man told me that I
had no reason to think I was a ten, but
I should. I'm a four at best, And I was
just like.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Thank you, love you too, jesus. Hey, though, like because
mensa and shit like you know, it would get me,
like you know, and I fucking have to try and
recover from it a bit, but like it doesn't bother you.
They're not a bother on.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
No, if someone that like I was seeing or went
in the date would said something not nice to me afterwards,
that would obviously upset me. But like strangers on the internet.
I mean as a as someone who makes hate the
word content online, I hate it, but as someone who
has put things on the Internet for over fourteen fifteen
years at this stage, I started seventeen, like I have
(36:34):
had like the worst things imaginable that people could have
said to me, Like you can't, like I can't, you
can't even fathom the things that people have said to me,
pointed out every single flaw that I didn't even know
I had, And so I think that has stood to
me because now I just don't think anyone says on
the internet to me. I just laughed ABox, I'm like, hat,
that's funny, but like, you know, eight years ago wouldn't
(36:54):
have been the cakes. Eight years ago I was. I mean,
I went viral in twenty seventeen and got loads of
really great opportunities from that, but I looked off to
Australia because I was so terrified well you know what
I mean. Yeah, whereas like now water off a ducts back.
But back then what people would have said, what said
about me would have really hurt me. Like but now
(37:17):
I'm just like Peter who is literally ugly, Like I'm sorry,
Like you're not back right, nook and if I fancy,
you're probably not back right nooking. You're in your mass
box dream. You don't have a driver's license, you make
minimum wage, you have to be told to shower, you
smoke like you know what I mean, it's just like
(37:38):
what like, I'm not I don't care you smoke you
smoke weed. No, not at all, not at all. I'm
an anti person who's addicted to anything. I don't want.
I don't want to be with anyone who's addicted to
any anything. Oh god, it's not at all. I'm not
against weed like whatsoever. I just am against body shaming.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I live that that you're you're like, you know, I'm
a big sexy bitch, you know whatever, big sexy ride
you're like. And but there's so many bigger ladies out
there who like you know, and you see it. People
have sent in their stories to me or like looked
for advice or I see it on those groups that
they're they're bigger and they've absolutely no confidence to go
out dating or whatever. Yeah, I've never had that issue
(38:24):
dead right.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
But I also I also do, and in a serious way,
I do think I have pretty privileged. Like if I
was not a good looking, fat person, I would obviously
find it much more difficult. I do have pretty privilege.
I totally understand that I can quote unquote pass for
a skinny girl, like men have said me before. Oh
I've never been with a fat girl before, but I
(38:46):
fancy you so much because I pass as a as
a skinny girl, do you get me? And I have
like whatever hair, and I smell nice and blah blah,
you know all that shit. So like, I totally totally
can see why someone who is you know, well, we've
got such bad flatphobia in the world. I can imagine
there's someone who was who was fat and then would
(39:08):
not consider themselves good looking as well. I can I
can understand how that would be really fucking tough. I mean,
I have never gotten a problem. I've never had a
problem with getting dates or like getting fellas, like never,
but as as a teenager did, but like as an adult, no, never,
And so that's why I'm like, I just I'll just
(39:28):
I'll just keep popping off dat. And I've got pictures
of I think it was. I've got pictures that look
like me on my profiles. I have pictures of me
and bikinis sitting down next to my really thin friends.
No leak up may as well, because like I see
girls profiles and I see fellas profiles as well, and
it's just like picks like this of them, like with
(39:49):
their phone pointed up, and I'm like, like, no, any
man that looks at that is going to think you're
not confident because you're not showing your body and I
and confidence is so important, like so many men are
love com for the women now so many of them don't,
and so many men hate me because myself confident. But
I think, yeah, I think it almost shows an insecurity
(40:09):
and I think that can actually play a big part
in attracting men if you're if you're not confident in
who you are. I mean, when the world is so
like the world has told like fat women and ugly
people like have they have like constantly you know, hitting
the fact that you know they're not worthy or they're
(40:30):
not this, they're not deserving or whatever. So I can
totally understand why people wouldn't be confident or able to
date and stand up for their cells and show themselves off.
But yeah, yeah, I just as I got older, I
just was like, oh, here here's a picture of me
and bikini and if you don't like it, you can
go fuck yourself.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Peter, You're bad deaths. What do you remember now off
the top of your head that has really stood out
to you in all of your million dates that.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
You're gonna okay, and one of them, a guy turned
up forty minutes late, absolutely what, absolutely obliterated drunk. I
was trying to tell me that he wasn't obliterated drunk,
and I was like, this was like three o'clock on
a Sunday, like mid lockdown, like twenty twenty lockdown, like
(41:21):
and the only reason I stayed is because I'm getting
a free meal. I'm here now. I drove all the
way to hold you best believe I'm getting a steak dinner.
Do you know what I mean? You best believe it.
But yeah, turned up absolutely pissed and like, literally I
hate to work last night because everyone shows around. But
he was like, I'm not drunk. I was like I
can literally smell the alcohol of you from over here.
And then he was like, oh, I actually just came
(41:43):
from a house party. It's like, what, how are you
at a house party on a Sunday at three pm?
On a rollover? Like I have no idea, but what
I thought was really funny. I ate I ate my
steak dinner. Obviously, I was like eating. I was like,
m yeah, whatever, knowing obviously I wasn't gonna see him again,
and he had paid a deposit for the table and
(42:04):
good the way you remember you said to pay deposits. Yeah,
he paid deposit for the hotel, and then he went.
He was so drunk and he went to pay the bill.
He never asked them to take the like forty year
old deposit back and off it. And I didn't even
fucking tell him. I was like, yeah, you pay for
the meil. I'm paying extra forty card for being a twat.
And then I was driving past his house to go home,
and he was like, oh, like, can you bring me home?
(42:26):
I was like no, I don't think so. And then
I just drove past him at the bus stop and
I was like waving. I'm like Jesus Christ. I was like, oh,
just get a taxi. Like, there's no amount of money
you could pay me to stand at the bus stop
while a girl drove away in a car while I'm
standing there.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
The fucking that's what I asked her for her lift
and she said no, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
And I made you paying extra forty grads because you're
a brick. And then the other one that I remember
is so I'm a big fan of casual First date.
I never will not not I never, but I rarely
go for a drink on a first date because I think, a,
you don't get my time that easy, Like it's a
(43:11):
big thing for me to get ready and you know,
get someone to make sure, like the dog is on
his own for like the whole day. If I go
in and meet someone after work or like putting a
makeup I'm not spending my fancy like foundation for you
to be uglier in person and your photos be ten
years old. So I'm always like, look meeting for a
(43:31):
walk with the dog. I walk the dog six days
a week, so meet me for a walk. And if
you don't like me when I'm out walking the dog,
then you're not going to like me. So this guy
was like at me, like for a date or whatever,
and I was like, you know what, I'm going to
Phoenix Park. I'm going to see me Nana because she's
in the home. She's got to mention she's in the hospital.
I'm going to see her and I'm going to walk
(43:52):
the dog after. If you want to meet me to
enjoy the straw, you absolutely can. So he comes on
his bike and I'm not bike shaming them. I'm not
like I feel so bad, Like get your shaming. Just
get a fucking car just to learn how to drive
and get car. I'm sorry, Like it's one thing that
(44:14):
you can do that like doesn't rely on your looks
or your personality to like get you further in date
and is just to learn how to drive and drive
a car. Anyways, Sorry, So he texted me being like, oh,
I'm cycling, so I can't meet you where you want
to cycle because it's too far up at him and
I'm on a buddy. I was like okay, So I
finally meet him or whatever, and instantly I'm like, oh,
(44:34):
I don't I didn't get good vibes off him, like adult,
I didn't like I'm like at all. And he was
really like really loving on Patch, my dog, and he
was like, can I take a picture of him? I
was like like a bit weird, but like okay. And
I was trying to like cover my phone number and
all because I was like I don't want this counting
on my phone number, even though you have my Instagram
and there's a hell of a lot more information about
(44:54):
me on my Instagram than there is my phone number.
But anyways, I was like, yeah, yeah, that's okay. Whatever.
So we I'd say, we walk for maybe half an
hour and I was like, oh, I have to go
on now, like blah blah blah. And I got back
to the car and when I went on Instagram, he
had posted a photo of mine and his shadow in
the sun on his Instagram story. Oh no, on his
(45:18):
Instagram story, and then he posted another one after a
patch in the in like the sun, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
What.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
I replied to it, being like, are you on fucking Heroin?
Are you joking me? And what world do you think
that's cool? And he was like, it's just a picture
and I was like, just deleted. Don't be posting me
and my dog Oliver in schir story. That's so fucking weird.
And then he he blocked me then and like unfollowed
me and left me. And then yeah, I was like, oh, okay,
(45:49):
there I am in the lovely September sun.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
I why the fuck if?
Speaker 2 (45:56):
I sorry? I know it's of those where you're like what,
I don't even know what.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
To say that to see it, he knew you were
going to see it. That's really embarrassing for him. If
you really felt the need to do it. Like you know.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Exactly, lock me from the sorry, but like just don't
do it, but block me from your story. If you
are going to do it.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
Winded down here, tell me what's the plan now going forward? Dayton.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't know. I'm just gonna like, I'm I have
a really great life. I have like I'm constantly away
with my friends, and you know, have a roof over
my head, have a good job, like your little dog,
a little dog, my little doggie. So i have like
everything that I need, and the fact that I'm not
worried about a biological clock like a lot of people
(46:47):
my age are women my age are, I don't really
feel that pressure in Dayton. So I'm just gone with
the flow.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
You have a full life. You have a full life,
and you're happy too important.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I really do. Yeah, I'm like, I'm I'm I'm real happy.
And I've come to the kind of I've been in
therapy a lot over the last year or whatever, and
I've come to realization that like, if I don't meet someone,
I have to be okay with that, Like I have
to be okay with it just being me for it forever,
because like love isn't guaranteed and the type of love
(47:20):
that I want haven't gone through the men that I have.
The type of perfect love that I want is going
to be extremely hard to find. And if someone can't
treat me that way, then I don't I don't want it,
So I just have to get used to, yeah, being
on my own. And I'm actually really lucky as well
because my best friends, like all of my close friends
I spend every single waking minute with, are all single
(47:43):
as well. So that does help guys unheard of, Yeah,
I know, and you know what, all of my friends
are so fucking hot, like so hot, but they're all
like me. They're just like, oh, I just couldn't be arsed,
Like I'm not Like long term relationships and kids like
are just not for us. So it's really helpful when
you've got mates that are all single as.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Well, doing the same stuff and like you have each
other as opposed to them being like in the middle
of the night.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Exactly and then going off to like holidays with their fellows,
Like no, we're the first point to contact. I want
to go here on holidays and you want to go
with me, and you're like mostly.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
And I do.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
It's called it's on you I wrote it with the
lads about the First X, the first Big X, and
it's a great little stomper. I have to say, it
really is. It's a great little disco tune. I've gotten
a few emails about it being added to playlists on
radio and stuff, so I'm really looking forward to to that.
(48:41):
So I think, thank you so much. And I have
a gig. I mean, I hope, so I've been doing
it for so many years, I really have. I'm just like,
come on, someone give me a million. Please, let me
just quit everything for a year and go into the
studio and create magic.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
With you still only look like a small child fresh
out the fucking womb, just a little seventeen years old.
Everybody that you're twenty four, just restart again.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Oh I can absolutely gastlate everyone. And they're like, it
says here in your passport twenty two. I'm like, excuse me.
It says what I wanted to say. I'm twenty two.

followers on Facebook and eighty k on TikTok. Sixty k

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Fifty five? Fifty five?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Fifty five? Thank you? Sorry, Megan, if you're going to
say that, right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Probably in the time that I've been single, I've probably
been on yeah, fifty five dates, but I haven't been
documenting them both. Some of them obviously were were worse
than others. I am single to this day, three years
this day, three years and I found out my ex
was cheating on me this day three years ago. So
I gave him the chop. I was his third I
(01:38):
was his third girlfriend he had two. I was the
other other woman guards a year, a year.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I'm sorry, is this a fellow that you want to
sit inty with?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Nope, that was Patches. That's Patches. And No, that was
the dog. That was another guy, that was my dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That was No.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I was with him for seven years. That the guy
in Jesus. Yeah, I am thirty two.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think thirty two, and it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh my god, this day four weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh, you're nearly thirty three. I'm nearly thirty three, baby,
so young, like you if you said you were twenty four?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Do you get that all the time, all the time,
like all the time. I went on a date with
a forty five year old this week, I swear I know,
and I say to God, it was like I was.
He was walking around with his like teenage and daughter.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
What did you do on your date this week? What
did you do well.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I went on Sunday. We just went for a drink
and then we went for a drink and we went
for a drink and then I don't really want to
say the rest, but oh we went we went.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh my joking, forty five, Like I'm I've gone out
and like, like as In was saying, for like multiple
dates or whatever, fellas who were ten years older, and
I think I would have been twenty eight, twenty nine,
they would have been, you know, thirty eight or thirty nine.
But sometimes when I meet them and they're ten years older,
I was like, Jaez, you look a bit fucking decrepit.
(03:10):
And I start, do you know, like I think it'll
be the way I'll get to whatever age forty and
I'd be like forty year olds are like young or whatever,
but then ten years older. It's just in relation to
whatever you age now, whatever age are now, Like.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, well, I mean you think it's take. It's different
with men, because like I feel like men are always immature.
I don't think I've ever met a man that I'm like, wow,
he's got his shit together. I genuinely I don't think
I've ever met a man that's got a shit together,
no matter what age they are, do you know what
I mean? It does at matter if you're forty, It doesn't
matter if you're fifty. I'm like, you're still You're still
(03:47):
twenty seven, You're still the front series the Fellas.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, that was ten years older, said I remember. We
were out in Wheelands having a few pints and he
said that, he said, this is kind of embarrassing for me,
but you're actually a lot more mature than me. And
I was like, yeah, that is really fucking embarrassing, Like that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Is embarrassing for you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Absolutely, babes a girl you shouldn't be. Yeah, exactly, and sorry,
tell me about the fellow cheap man. Ye how did
you find out?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh? I've actually never spoken about this on the internet before,
but I absolutely will tell.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
You now an exclusive.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh my god, it's goods. Yes, So it's really it's
like a dirty you know, Dirty John the film or
the programs, the series. Yes, it's like a fucking story
of that, or like the Tinder Swindler. I storry to god,
So I just had like weird suspicions something's going wrong.
I checked his following list the other way. You just know,
(04:43):
I just woke up one more and I was like,
I'm having never looked at his following list before. It's like,
I'm going to look at his following list. And I
looked at like the fourth person down. I was like,
I recognize that name? Why do I recognize that name?
Clicked in all photos of them all over her Instagram?
Like last week when he was telling me he was working,
he was actually gallivanting around Dublin City Center on a
week's holiday or her.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Where was he from? Are you allowed to say, hey,
he's from the South Side from Dublin, Okay, And.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, that's pretty much how I found out. And I
rang and I was like, hey, what the fuck? And
he was like and I was like no, no, no, no, no,
none of that. Now, come on, tell me what the
story is. And he was like, oh, she's my mate.
And I was like, grant what you'd want to get
to my house now fairly quickish to talk about this?
(05:33):
Obviously it's over. Like even if she is your mate,
which she wasn't obviously, but like even if she was,
you still lied to me, So it's over. It's done.
So anyways, he comes to my house, my dad. At
this stage, I can't hold my piss. I come on.
I was living at home at the time. I come
on and down the stairs, my man dad walking the door.
I'm like, so and so was cheating on me. And
they were like what and they were like, don't bring
(05:54):
him around here, like your dog will go mad or whatever.
So he was like, oh, he came to my house
and I was like, get in my car and I
drove in silence to the church car park and we
got to the church car park and we were sitting
there and I was like, right, go speak and he
was like what do you mean right, go speak? And
I was like, go, like tell me what, what's like,
what's happening? And he was like to stand on the fucker.
(06:15):
And I was like, if you cared about me, which
you clearly don't, but if you did, you would just
open your phone, go up through those messages and show
me that there's nothing for me to be concerned about it.
And he was like no, and I was like, okay,
then we're done. And we kind of had a back
and forth for maybe maybe five minutes, and then I
told him to get the fuck out of my car.
And I never never smoked to him again ever. Never
(06:36):
smoked him again, and it was really hard, but.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I knew that there was another one again.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh so that's like this whole story is like another
Like it goes on up until like only last year
and we're broken up three years. I found out more
information like last year, but basically reached out to the
girl again because sorry, my ex had light to me
on a day and app then like a year and
a later, and I was like, hold on, you cheating
on me and here you are plenty of fish in me,
(07:04):
Go fuck yourself. So at that time kind of you know,
and all the trauma comes back and you're like oh.
So I went onto her profile and saw all the
photos that they had together were gone, and I was like, okay,
now was my last chance to get the information. So
I texted her off my best mate's phone because she
had me blocked from the first time I found out
he was cheating. I messaged her being like, hey, like
(07:27):
I don't want to jump down your throat, but like,
what's going on between you and X?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Or why did she blood?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So for whatever reason, she believed what he was saying
and I was mad, or I was an ex, or
I was this or whatever, right, so what happened? Then?
Oh yeah, so I had messaged her and she had
blocked me straight away. That's grand. So that was the
end of that. And then at Christmas time, when he
liked me again, I was like, right, Efa, who I live?
I was like, give me your phone. I need to
(07:53):
message her one more time because she already had me blocked.
And I was like, look, I'm not trying to pry,
and if you tell me to fuck off, like you
absolutely can, but this is my situation with X. What's yours?
And then she told me around the same time that
I had messaged her, like literally only a couple of
months later, she had found out about another girl that
he'd been in a relationship with for like the last
(08:14):
six or seven months. And so yeah, that's how I
found out. I was the third woman.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Isn't that well? How does it feel to be the
third woman? Like as in do you think it would
hurt less? As in he was cheating on two other
women with you?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Was it? It's so well? It's mistress. Oh yeah, I
was the I was mistress squared. I was like, mistress, mistress, mistress,
make oh my god, I can't say that word. Mistress mistress. Honestly,
when I found out, I was like enraged, but a
lot had gone on in our relationship for the last month.
(08:52):
He was kind of playing with the idea of going
away and stuff, So I think I kind of grieved
the relationship as it was, and then it wasn't the
worst in the world when we had broken up, because
I had done all the grieving. But it's you know,
it's it's weird because I only found out about the
other other woman like a year and a bit ago,
and that was like halfway through, so that was like
(09:14):
a year and a half sorry, after we broke up,
so I kind of already processed what was going on.
So when I found out, I was just like I
knew that in my heart and soul that there was something.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Else going on.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Like I'm not stupid. Women have instincts, We have like reactions,
Like I knew, I knew the story that he was
telling me wasn't right, and I had a play by
play of what I thought was right in my head
and then the ex confirmed it all for me, and.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, I actually sense not a people.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No no, he changed his picture on revelute about seven Yeah, yeah, no,
wait to hear this, wait and hear this. A couple
of months ago, he changed to him in a random
kitchen wearing my music merch hoodie, what the hoody? Hod
you with my merch from my first single from a
couple of years ago that I gave him when we
(10:04):
were in a relationship. Isn't that mento?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Why would you do that? Like even if he was
wearing it at home or whatever? The fuck? Like, why
would you put it as your profile picture? That seems
like some sort of It's he's sending a message Wild.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And what's even funnier is that, like I would never
have seen that only for I get my shampoo from
Love Salon Services. So I was typing into Revolute, like
figuring out when the last time I bought it and
how much I paid for it. So I just typed
in love into my transactions, and like an old transaction
from his came home saying like fucking love you or
someone set me money for something. And that's how I
(10:39):
saw it, Like I don't even have them on my
phone anymore. It just was an old transaction. I was like,
this guy needs to get alive, I swear to god.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Obsessed Wild, So you're out here now a single three
years you're looking for you?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Can you blame me? Can you blame me? After that? God,
I didn't even get into the trauma of the first relationship,
and we won't go there because that was insane as well.
No cheating when everything else. Sorry, what did you ask
me there? Am I?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, she's you have to going through it with the
fellas anyway, so like, but I would have been like
with the relationship that I last had five and a
half years, I was like desperately wanted to get out
with that relationship for a few years, but I would
say I didn't have the confidence to leave, and then
finally finally did. He moved out, All good, He got
(11:32):
a girlfriend two months later. Fucking fluis you know? Two
months later he was still texting me being like, I'm
taking away for your birthday. I already had a present
and all, and I was like, no, no, yeah, this
is wrong. Now, you shouldn't be at that, you know.
And yeah, he had had some bad happen to him
when I broke up with him then as well for
(11:54):
his family. So I was still in contact with him,
trying to help him through it. And I was like
trying to let and then being like, no, no, we
can't be going to no hotels. Don't be getting any
parents of assics for my birthday. I need. That's what
the person was. And he then he just stopped texting me,
and he put up a picture of a Raturan sausage
in some fucking shy hotel, the Green Hills Hotel is
(12:16):
it green something there on the motorway.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm not getting treated to hotels, you joking me. I
having a clue.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, not, you won't want to get treated anyway. I
showed the girls. I was like, he's off with another
with some woman there, and they were like no, no, no,
like that's a real dry Raturan sausage. Like he wouldn't
put that up.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Girls are insane, They're raal for everything, insane. Oh my god,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Oh but no. After that and I thought, all right,
I'm gonna go dating, gonna go dating, and I'm gonna
find somebody very nice and then, you know, then then
I'll have a nice boyfriend. Obviously he took fifty five
fucking goals, but we.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Got and you found that's that's great. I'm delighting. I'm
delight for you.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And you're looking for a nice boyfriend, are you No?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
No, no, I think my days of nice boyfriends are over.
I think when I broke up with my ex three
years ago, I went like straight back into Dayton because
I was like I need to fill this hole somehow,
and not that whole I mean the mesphoricohol. I was like,
I need to I need to get I need to
take back my power, you know what I mean, like
(13:22):
like I needed to take it back. So I went
dating like I was Jesus. I was dating.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I was dating.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I was not a new date every week like the
girls will tell you. They're like Jesus Christ, who's this
And I'm like, oh remember the guy with the hat
and the eyes and they're like oh yeah, yeah yeah,
hat eyes got you know yourself. So no, I'm not looking.
I'm not looking for relationship. But I was for a
while and then I realized, oh, I had so much
work to do with myself. And then like the idea
(13:48):
of marriage and kids has never been something that's ever
appealed to me ever, Like years and years ago, I
remember like my ex was like, I know he was
sniffing around proposing, and in my head, I was like,
please don't ask me to marry you. I don't know
how I'm gonna say no, please please, please, please please no.
It could have been the fact that I hated them,
That could have been, like any reason I want to
didn't want to get married. But like even now I
(14:10):
think of like, ah, the lovely men, and I'm just like,
oh God, I don't know if I could be ours now,
having one living in my gaff and all. But no,
I still love Dayton. I love Dayton. I love going
one date. I love having the crack, I love having
a flirt. I love I love it. But like, I'm
not out here like looking for the man of my dreams.
I don't think I'm in therapy. Oh, I on Raya, which.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is you guys, because you're fucking well all the followers,
you're an influencer.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I don't. I don't know. I waited nine months to
be accepted. Nine months. I completely forgot about it, and
then all of a sudden, I opened my fucking phone
one night to pee in the middle of the night,
and I got a message me like you have been
accepted to RAYA, And I was like, what, I forgot
about that? So I'm on RAYA. I quit for ages
(15:01):
and I recently got got back on it, like only
this month, gone up by three year own month, sorry,
twenty year old nineteen ninety nine. Every month to see
a couple of zealisters go fuck yourselves?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You see you've seen not allow? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I don't think I'm not allowed to. I'm not You're
not allowed apparently, Like I mean, at the end of
the day, it's just a fucking dating app. Who have
I seen on it? I've seen Cara Delavine. I don't know.
Again again, I don't know if you can like put
this up or whatever. I would be, Yeah, I would,
I would be bisexual. Well, actually I don't know. I
wouldn't class myself as bisexual. But I have dated women
(15:36):
as well as men. I do lean towards men. It's
just they're just they're just so fucking good looking. I
just but they're so whole good the same time, but
they're so good looking, and I'm just like, oh, oh, now,
don't be saying that they do. Indeed they do indeed,
but on Ray you can kind of like you kind
(15:58):
of just see anyone. As far as I know, I
didn't even get the option to like go between like
gender or whatever. But I've seen like a good few
like Love Islanders And who does I think.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
See your mander with the shorts j shorts from normal people?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Paul Mescal haven't seen him. You get you get five
three d M slides. Even if you don't match with
the person on Raya, you're allowed like slide in their
d ms. So if I had to seene Paul, I
definitely would have slid slid in. I'd have put me
fucking gaa shorts on and slid right DMS. So now
(16:37):
I'm Ontraya. I'm banned from Tinder, have been for like
two years. And well, that's a great question. I don't
really know. They wouldn't ever tell me. They told me
that I wasn't allowed to know my own information. They're like,
that's gdprs like GDP are about myself? Can you not
tell me information about myself? Anyways, they wouldn't give me.
But what I can, what I can, what I think
(16:58):
happened is so men obviously come at me with some
much shite and I just give it right back to them,
always always give it right back to them. And of
course they don't like that. Men don't Men don't like
to be called out on the ship, as we know.
So I was having a few of those conversations men,
and I'm not want to let things slide. I'm like, no, no,
(17:18):
I'm the type of person that is able for these conversations,
whereas like a lot of other women wouldn't be able,
like they wouldn't have the confidence, that they wouldn't have
the want, whereas I'm like, no, I'm going to teach
this book or a lesson. Right. So I'd have a
few like back and forth to people, and then I
got a message from a guy being like I'm looking
for an Irish wife and I was like great, and
(17:38):
he was like, oh, you'll never have to work again.
And I was like yes, stunning, even better. And he
was like I make good money. And I was like, well, hen,
what did you make and he was like, I'm not
telling you. I was like, hold on, you're going to
come at me with it. You know, happen to never
have to work again, move to the States, but you're
not going to tell me how which money you make.
And he was like, oh, it's enough. And I was
like send me a bank statement then, and then the
(18:00):
next morning, now I'll go on my Tinder account with
band for life, So I'm presuming it's something to do
with that or someone reported me for telling them to
go fuck themselves?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Is this an American?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He was, of course he was. Yeah. Well, I mean, sorry,
why don't people.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
In Tinder like look at the fucking messages and be like,
clearly this man is a dose And she was taking
the piss like why wonder like, oh my gosh, she
asked him for a bank statement, you're out of here,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But he was the one that like came on to
me with I can pay for your life. So it's
kind of like, well, why why is he allowed to
say that? But yeah, I'm not allowed to have a
joke back and ask for his bank statements and his
credit card information. I didn't ask for credit card information,
but I should have.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
There's a screenshot here that I like that you go.

I said, you know what, man, let's do it, knowing
full well that it was never going to happen, but
I did say, yeah, cool, let's go on a date Grant.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
So he said, who is your celebrity cush crush by
the way, physical type question mark, I have a doubt
as you don't come across as a person who will
go out with the brown or ethnic guy. Then you said, well,
what a strange thing to say. I literally don't know
what to say, and he said, it's not strange, it's facts,
the sweetie. Then you ended up sending them back a
voice note basically saying that you weren't happy because he
(19:39):
called you racist. And then he said, oh my god,
what have you even heard? Geez? Did I ever say
that or assumed you jackass? I can't believe it came
out with the jackass. After that, you were like just
being offended.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I was, and you know, I actually I wasn't even
that I was offended. It was more than I was
shocked that. I was like, how can you go around
throwing your own shit at people? Like that's obviously something
that he's come across before, and it's horrendous to think
that someone has to go through that and like that
even be a thing that they have to worry about
that someone might like because of my skin tone, like
(20:17):
that ship. And he's obviously been through that and decided
that I was one of the girls that was going
to say that I didn't like brown guys, even though
I'd already gone on a day.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But surely it's not racism. It's just a preference.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
See now, yeah, I don't I don't know. M I
do think it is a preference. But at the same time,
like I think a preference is more like if someone's like, oh,
I don't like fat birds, I'm like, okay, right, that's
that's that's fine, that's a preference. But like if someone
said that I don't like Asian people, I'd be like,
(20:54):
what have you have? You just not like a whole
a whole race. How can you know that you don't
like a whole race of someone.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I have a friend from India. We've been friends now
for five years maybe, and he's been on the as
it's a good bit. But he said to me before
like he would like he hangs around with well he has.
He has a group of Indian people as well, but
there's a big group of white Irish people that he
(21:24):
hangs around with as well. And he's great crack, like
he loves the sesh, loves going out, loves fillam s,
swim and whatever. Like he's fucking really in the Irish
culture here, He's doing it all. And he said he
would love he would love to date Irish women, but
they don't give him a chance.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That makes me sad, Like, I don't know if it's
a part of it sometimes, like there is a language barrier,
and you know, if someone is just coming over from
from wherever they're coming from and they're in Ireland, like
I have. I have so much respect for people who
speak more than one language. I find it incredible. But
I'm like, my jokes are going to be lost on
(22:01):
someone who only speaks fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Mm hmm, yeah, well that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I was wonder is that part of it?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, Like I'm not to it to the cultural barrier,
I don't know. I don't like, there's just so many
things that can go wrong in a relationship as it
is if they have the same culture and like background
or whatever. And then I think about you know, if
you have to take into consideration like if their parents
are stricter or they have certain rules, or you know,
(22:29):
like say like yeah Hindu and they like his da
is like at him, like to get married or whatever.
And there's a lot of just cultural things that they
impose on their children. And I've been thinking, oh, fuck,
I don't know if I'm maybe for that now. Yeah,
it would be the love of my life, but unfortunately
I wouldn't be able for it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Well, I mean I wouldn't be able for someone's dad
telling me to marry their son. Know. In general, I'm like, oh,
I think I've passed.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I went on a date with Spanish fella and I
had told him a joke. We were driving out on
our second day to the that cinema out there and
Swords that movies, that's Swords. Yeah, it was a nice one,
that nice cinema that the I'm from Swords at the state.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I feel like I get like infections just sitting on
their chairs. Movies.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So it is that in the shopping center, yeah, lit
the one like.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Do you usually go to.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Coolock?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Well, I actually think the oldie than cool Lock is lovely.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, I think I think it's nice.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I think it's nice of the movies Thats Swords.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Outside there now. But he I told him a joke
on the drive out there, and he looked at me,
waiting repeatedly for the punchline after I had said it's thought,
I can't a language carrier isn't for me either.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's like, I'm sorry, Like sometimes wh jokes are so
specific that like Irish people don't get it, or my
friends are just like what And I'm like, oh, you
have to either in twenty twelve for you to get
the reference. So I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I just
don't know. I mean, I'm not I'm not opposed to
at all. I've gone on dates with men who's English
is not their first language, and I've got second, third
(24:12):
dates with them. But humor is such a such an
important thing for me, Like if you can't make me laugh,
I just don't want it to do with it. And
I know this is so like sounds so like big headed,
but like I feel like I'm hilarious and that is
like one of the things I have to get men
is like my humor.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And I'm like, if you can't, sare being funnier than them.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Oh and oh a lot of them aren't. A lot
of them mand a lot of them don't like it.
So then I have to just, like you know, rely
on my dashing good looks. I don't want to have
to do that. I want to just be able to
have a laugh, you know what I mean. And if
someone can't understand my joke, whether they're non Irish or
they are Irish, and like I can't, I can't. I
can't do this. If you're not going to think I'm
(24:54):
the funniest thing, I'll stract that.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Call it off, Call it off. But you have a
few more screenshats here? Who and you woke up to
this one morning on bumble and it was a fella.
These are like multiple messages, one after another. He was
fucking fly out thumping a keyboard. You both have to ask,
why do you ask? If you think men find you
(25:17):
attractive or not. Some men are going to find you repulsive.
Other men are going to think you're the milky bar
of women. The truth is, who gives the fuck? Somebody
is going to want to fuck your brains out at
some point, So live life while you can. When you
what the fuck? Wait it was when you get rolled,
(25:40):
enjoy it when you don't relish it, enjoy the eye rolling.
When you get enjoy it when you don't relish, enjoy
the eye roll.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Was enjoyed the eye rolling of orgasms.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
What does he?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I meant to ask, Actually, what is that? What does
he mean? The start to this? Why do you ask
if you think men find you attractive or not? What
did you have your.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I did have really wild stuff, well not wild, but
like like again just funny, Like I think one of
my promts was do you think and I think whine
was that I'm a riot? Question mark or something like that,
like that I'm hot or something like that. But I'm like,
that's just that's just my humor. Like you're obviously you're
swiping right on me. You're you think I'm a riot,
Like obviously you.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
And so I think, But like this was I haven't
spoken to that man in a couple of weeks. I'd
matched him in Belfast, and like obviously nothing happened when
I was in Belfast, so I never contained the conversation
never continued, and then I woke up one day like
three weeks after the last time we spoke and he
was coming at me at that and I was like,
what were you doing last night that he found that conversation,
(26:55):
went looked back through my profile, looked at my prompts,
and then decided to spit all your you're that issue issues.
Honestly though, it's very funny, like I do just all
think it's gas. Like I don't let anything that a
man ever says affect me nowadays, especially on the Internet,
because I'm like, this person, until I meet someone in
real life, they're not a person, do you know what
(27:16):
I mean? Like in terms of dating, Like if I
just see a profile, I'm like, this could be anyone
behind these profile pictures. Until I've met you in person,
you're nobody. So that was basically just a random stranger
deciding to offload and his issues on me. But I
love that he was thinking of me.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I'm like, thanks, Pipes, you're on the internet. People know you.
Do they ever slide into your DMS?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
A couple of times? Not loads, I think I honestly,
sometimes I think men are scared of me. If they
follow me on Instagram, they'll know the type of person
I am. And I don't think a lot of people
a man had told me before I did the slide
in your DMS, because I see the type of stuff
you put in your stories and might be terrified. Even
the top I've done my job, like you.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You ugly things been said to you as well.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh god, the worst things imaginable people have said to me,
not even like in a dating sense, just on like
being on the internet, like as a whole vile. But
then in the Dayton sense, WHOA right? I have a
few screenshots, and so I have one here from twenty
twenty from a man called Erland, a very ugly man.
Of course they always end when are you gonna take
(28:24):
control of your weight? Meg? I was like, oh, okay,
and then try to this on Tinder and then try
to tell me that he had a big dick and
that he wanted to fuck me. And I was like, oh,
what are you like obviously just trying to neg me.
And I'm like, oh, babes, that was on fat fore years.
Earland on Tinder is not going to stop me from
being flat, do you know? I was just like, go away.
(28:45):
That was the one. Nother one had a normal conversation
with a man and then all of a sudden he
said have you ever done an orgy? Before I was okay, lovely,
I used to have all my profile like a I'm
a big fat ride or something like that, or like
big fat ride, big fat something, big fat I am
(29:09):
a big fat ride. So that's it's funny again. It's
all just you know, it's just it's just my my lore,
as they say. And so so this guy goes, how's
it going on? And I obviously didn't reply that because
you I'm not replying to Horne. And then two hours later,
do you get much child rub?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
What? And I was like, I know. And it's even
funnier because like I don't even unmatch.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So I just let them sit there, men getting rejected
and then they're like absolutely infested with rage and they're like,
all right, what can I say now? This girl take
her down a peg?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, And it's like that I do get chow rub,
and I have lots of things to stop to, you
know what I mean, Like you're not like, what's happening here? Anyways?
Another one? Are you that crazy amazing singer that has
a sister of also sayings? And I said, hah, yeah,
I think that's me. He said, oh you are amazing?
Are you in good in bed as you are at singing?
(30:09):
And then I obviously didn't reply, and like twenty minutes
lay here, he text me saying too much question mark,
and I just replied saying, yeah, too much conor. I
mean again, I just think it's hilarious. Like, I just
think it's so funny and it gives me great content.
Oh actually, side not. I had a girl that was
a quote on a quote unquote fan, and I don't
mean like fan in that way. I mean like reply
(30:30):
to a lot of my stuff for years and followed
me for years and has given me many and many messages.
I think there was over seventy when I counted replies
to her of her reply to my story, and she
told me I was desperate for posting screenshots of what
men say on dating apps. To me, you were desperate, Yeah,
I was desperate. And then it makes me look that
it's boring and I'm desperate, and it makes me it
(30:53):
makes me look desperate, And I was like what what hey,
why does it make me look desperate? Anyways, I went
back and forth for for ages and and she eventually
apologized and I was like, thank you very much, thank
you very much. I had undergoing tender say hy, can
you please reply to.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Me on bumble? Ah? And did you? No?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
He didn't. Don't know you're not going to get me
on Tinder and say hey, can you reply to me
on bumbo?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Bless him? You thought you were a special.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well he I don't blame him, too fair, I am
pretty special. Another guy I just opened the conversation bumble
and then he said hey, shnid. I was like, oh lord,
my name is Began. And then a guy let me
message saying oh, you're officially one hundredth match on Tinder,
and I said, ah, I feel honored. You're officially my
(31:45):
eight hundred and seventy eight match. Oh when can we
meet so I can stop being a stranger and slap you?
Oh sorry, that was a different conversation, so you took
took the tone down right there. This is a This
is a like a couple of messages back and forth,
right and this kind of goes back to the original
(32:07):
point of dating laps as to why why it is
the state that it is? House things? Random question would
a fetish be too weird for you? And I said,
the only thing weird about a fellash is bringing it
up on a first message, and he said, ha, good
one while you're on plenty of fish, so get used
to it. It's also is good to say that first,
so I'm not wasting my time further. And I said, nah,
(32:29):
I don't have to get used to it. Men don't
get to just say what they want because they're not
a dat now And he said, what the fuck are
you talking about? Look, I honestly think you should go
be a lesbian or stop assuming dumb ship. I have
a fetish. Yes, I asked you, are you open minded person?
To save both of us time? It says your name
is Meg when really it should be Karen. That's a
(32:49):
good one. I was like, yeah, I'm like on. I
literally didn't eve reply because I was like, I can't
reply to that. I'm like, like the real Like you
can't just get to say what you want two women
because you're on a dating that Like that's insanity to me,
But like you can get a looking women And I'm
still like, are you on those?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Are we dating the same guy pages? Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
But I don't look at them because I don't have
any faith in men, and I really really don't have
any faith in men, like when I look at.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Them, true, but like, yeah, I agree with that. There
will be women women who have like you know, lost
an awful lot of hope and whatever, and then they
see only bad things there and they're like, oh my god, no,
fuck this, there are no good men out there now.
In Veris there are posts put up a bit of
men on it, and they're like, oh, no, lovely fella
or whatever, but yeah, it's between well they are or
(33:36):
else there's a supposed absolutely no comments on her or whatever.
But yeah, generally there is a bit of dirt both. Yeah,
women will say on that page. You know, if somebody
puts up something where a fella has been like talking
about fetish or whatever. Very early on, women are like,
oh but sure he's allowed, you know, let's not kink
shame or whatever here. And I'm like, yeah, that's fine,
(33:57):
kind of a bit down the line or whatever talking
about the and outs.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
But like.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm like, I'm on these day and app to find
a relationship well whatever I was, and I'm not out
here straight away, like I'm fucking having my lunch here.
I'm having like a fucking chicken roll at one o'clock
on a Monday, and then this fella is like, you know,
I like pissing on people. What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm like, I don't think I'm eating my chicken filler row,
leave me alone. No, I look, I'm not a king
shamer in the slightest. I think more power to you
every as long as everything is consensual on like, get
your bag, do what you gotta do, But like, don't
come at me in a first or second message when
nothing has been discussed anything sexual.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Do you ever try field?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes? I actually am on field right now, and that's
where I met the guy that I went out when
on Oh no, that's actually like I didn't have met
him on hinge sus but on someone field the next day.
I have tried field. Have I ever met anyone off field?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I only had it. I had it like maybe a
year ago, and then I got off and then I
go through faces as you know, delete my date naps.
I deleted them for a couple of weeks, and then
I'd be like, oh my gin is starting to taste
like I need to read a lot bumble. So then
I get back into the swing of it, and then
I got I'm off them again. So I've in total
(35:17):
I done path Field, plenty of fish, tender Hinge, Raya,
and there was another one I think it was called
three Phone, but when I got on, I realized it
was really just for Like I thought Field was like
extreme for like what people were looking for, but three Phone,
(35:39):
like you couldn't even screenshot it, like the scream went
black when you screenshot it. Wow. Yeah. So I quickly
got off that and a man told me that I
had no reason to think I was a ten, but
I should. I'm a four at best, And I was
just like.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Thank you, love you too, jesus. Hey, though, like because
mensa and shit like you know, it would get me,
like you know, and I fucking have to try and
recover from it a bit, but like it doesn't bother you.
They're not a bother on.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
No, if someone that like I was seeing or went
in the date would said something not nice to me afterwards,
that would obviously upset me. But like strangers on the internet.
I mean as a as someone who makes hate the
word content online, I hate it, but as someone who
has put things on the Internet for over fourteen fifteen
years at this stage, I started seventeen, like I have
(36:34):
had like the worst things imaginable that people could have
said to me, Like you can't, like I can't, you
can't even fathom the things that people have said to me,
pointed out every single flaw that I didn't even know
I had, And so I think that has stood to
me because now I just don't think anyone says on
the internet to me. I just laughed ABox, I'm like, hat,
that's funny, but like, you know, eight years ago wouldn't
(36:54):
have been the cakes. Eight years ago I was. I mean,
I went viral in twenty seventeen and got loads of
really great opportunities from that, but I looked off to
Australia because I was so terrified well you know what
I mean. Yeah, whereas like now water off a ducts back.
But back then what people would have said, what said
about me would have really hurt me. Like but now
(37:17):
I'm just like Peter who is literally ugly, Like I'm sorry,
Like you're not back right, nook and if I fancy,
you're probably not back right nooking. You're in your mass
box dream. You don't have a driver's license, you make
minimum wage, you have to be told to shower, you
smoke like you know what I mean, it's just like
(37:38):
what like, I'm not I don't care you smoke you
smoke weed. No, not at all, not at all. I'm
an anti person who's addicted to anything. I don't want.
I don't want to be with anyone who's addicted to
any anything. Oh god, it's not at all. I'm not
against weed like whatsoever. I just am against body shaming.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I live that that you're you're like, you know, I'm
a big sexy bitch, you know whatever, big sexy ride
you're like. And but there's so many bigger ladies out
there who like you know, and you see it. People
have sent in their stories to me or like looked
for advice or I see it on those groups that
they're they're bigger and they've absolutely no confidence to go
out dating or whatever. Yeah, I've never had that issue
(38:24):
dead right.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
But I also I also do, and in a serious way,
I do think I have pretty privileged. Like if I
was not a good looking, fat person, I would obviously
find it much more difficult. I do have pretty privilege.
I totally understand that I can quote unquote pass for
a skinny girl, like men have said me before. Oh
I've never been with a fat girl before, but I
(38:46):
fancy you so much because I pass as a as
a skinny girl, do you get me? And I have
like whatever hair, and I smell nice and blah blah,
you know all that shit. So like, I totally totally
can see why someone who is you know, well, we've
got such bad flatphobia in the world. I can imagine
there's someone who was who was fat and then would
(39:08):
not consider themselves good looking as well. I can I
can understand how that would be really fucking tough. I mean,
I have never gotten a problem. I've never had a
problem with getting dates or like getting fellas, like never,
but as as a teenager did, but like as an adult, no, never,
And so that's why I'm like, I just I'll just
(39:28):
I'll just keep popping off dat. And I've got pictures
of I think it was. I've got pictures that look
like me on my profiles. I have pictures of me
and bikinis sitting down next to my really thin friends.
No leak up may as well, because like I see
girls profiles and I see fellas profiles as well, and
it's just like picks like this of them, like with
(39:49):
their phone pointed up, and I'm like, like, no, any
man that looks at that is going to think you're
not confident because you're not showing your body and I
and confidence is so important, like so many men are
love com for the women now so many of them don't,
and so many men hate me because myself confident. But
I think, yeah, I think it almost shows an insecurity
(40:09):
and I think that can actually play a big part
in attracting men if you're if you're not confident in
who you are. I mean, when the world is so
like the world has told like fat women and ugly
people like have they have like constantly you know, hitting
the fact that you know they're not worthy or they're
(40:30):
not this, they're not deserving or whatever. So I can
totally understand why people wouldn't be confident or able to
date and stand up for their cells and show themselves off.
But yeah, yeah, I just as I got older, I
just was like, oh, here here's a picture of me
and bikini and if you don't like it, you can
go fuck yourself.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Peter, You're bad deaths. What do you remember now off
the top of your head that has really stood out
to you in all of your million dates that.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
You're gonna okay, and one of them, a guy turned
up forty minutes late, absolutely what, absolutely obliterated drunk. I
was trying to tell me that he wasn't obliterated drunk,
and I was like, this was like three o'clock on
a Sunday, like mid lockdown, like twenty twenty lockdown, like
(41:21):
and the only reason I stayed is because I'm getting
a free meal. I'm here now. I drove all the
way to hold you best believe I'm getting a steak dinner.
Do you know what I mean? You best believe it.
But yeah, turned up absolutely pissed and like, literally I
hate to work last night because everyone shows around. But
he was like, I'm not drunk. I was like I
can literally smell the alcohol of you from over here.
And then he was like, oh, I actually just came
(41:43):
from a house party. It's like, what, how are you
at a house party on a Sunday at three pm?
On a rollover? Like I have no idea, but what
I thought was really funny. I ate I ate my
steak dinner. Obviously, I was like eating. I was like,
m yeah, whatever, knowing obviously I wasn't gonna see him again,
and he had paid a deposit for the table and
(42:04):
good the way you remember you said to pay deposits. Yeah,
he paid deposit for the hotel, and then he went.
He was so drunk and he went to pay the bill.
He never asked them to take the like forty year
old deposit back and off it. And I didn't even
fucking tell him. I was like, yeah, you pay for
the meil. I'm paying extra forty card for being a twat.
And then I was driving past his house to go home,
and he was like, oh, like, can you bring me home?
(42:26):
I was like no, I don't think so. And then
I just drove past him at the bus stop and
I was like waving. I'm like Jesus Christ. I was like, oh,
just get a taxi. Like, there's no amount of money
you could pay me to stand at the bus stop
while a girl drove away in a car while I'm
standing there.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
The fucking that's what I asked her for her lift
and she said no, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
And I made you paying extra forty grads because you're
a brick. And then the other one that I remember
is so I'm a big fan of casual First date.
I never will not not I never, but I rarely
go for a drink on a first date because I think, a,
you don't get my time that easy, Like it's a
(43:11):
big thing for me to get ready and you know,
get someone to make sure, like the dog is on
his own for like the whole day. If I go
in and meet someone after work or like putting a
makeup I'm not spending my fancy like foundation for you
to be uglier in person and your photos be ten
years old. So I'm always like, look meeting for a
(43:31):
walk with the dog. I walk the dog six days
a week, so meet me for a walk. And if
you don't like me when I'm out walking the dog,
then you're not going to like me. So this guy
was like at me, like for a date or whatever,
and I was like, you know what, I'm going to
Phoenix Park. I'm going to see me Nana because she's
in the home. She's got to mention she's in the hospital.
I'm going to see her and I'm going to walk
(43:52):
the dog after. If you want to meet me to
enjoy the straw, you absolutely can. So he comes on
his bike and I'm not bike shaming them. I'm not
like I feel so bad, Like get your shaming. Just
get a fucking car just to learn how to drive
and get car. I'm sorry, Like it's one thing that
(44:14):
you can do that like doesn't rely on your looks
or your personality to like get you further in date
and is just to learn how to drive and drive
a car. Anyways, Sorry, So he texted me being like, oh,
I'm cycling, so I can't meet you where you want
to cycle because it's too far up at him and
I'm on a buddy. I was like okay, So I
finally meet him or whatever, and instantly I'm like, oh,
(44:34):
I don't I didn't get good vibes off him, like adult,
I didn't like I'm like at all. And he was
really like really loving on Patch, my dog, and he
was like, can I take a picture of him? I
was like like a bit weird, but like okay. And
I was trying to like cover my phone number and
all because I was like I don't want this counting
on my phone number, even though you have my Instagram
and there's a hell of a lot more information about
(44:54):
me on my Instagram than there is my phone number.
But anyways, I was like, yeah, yeah, that's okay. Whatever.
So we I'd say, we walk for maybe half an
hour and I was like, oh, I have to go
on now, like blah blah blah. And I got back
to the car and when I went on Instagram, he
had posted a photo of mine and his shadow in
the sun on his Instagram story. Oh no, on his
(45:18):
Instagram story, and then he posted another one after a
patch in the in like the sun, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
What.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
I replied to it, being like, are you on fucking Heroin?
Are you joking me? And what world do you think
that's cool? And he was like, it's just a picture
and I was like, just deleted. Don't be posting me
and my dog Oliver in schir story. That's so fucking weird.
And then he he blocked me then and like unfollowed
me and left me. And then yeah, I was like, oh, okay,
(45:49):
there I am in the lovely September sun.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
I why the fuck if?
Speaker 2 (45:56):
I sorry? I know it's of those where you're like what,
I don't even know what.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
To say that to see it, he knew you were
going to see it. That's really embarrassing for him. If
you really felt the need to do it. Like you know.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Exactly, lock me from the sorry, but like just don't
do it, but block me from your story. If you
are going to do it.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
Winded down here, tell me what's the plan now going forward? Dayton.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't know. I'm just gonna like, I'm I have
a really great life. I have like I'm constantly away
with my friends, and you know, have a roof over
my head, have a good job, like your little dog,
a little dog, my little doggie. So i have like
everything that I need, and the fact that I'm not
worried about a biological clock like a lot of people
(46:47):
my age are women my age are, I don't really
feel that pressure in Dayton. So I'm just gone with
the flow.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
You have a full life. You have a full life,
and you're happy too important.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I really do. Yeah, I'm like, I'm I'm I'm real happy.
And I've come to the kind of I've been in
therapy a lot over the last year or whatever, and
I've come to realization that like, if I don't meet someone,
I have to be okay with that, Like I have
to be okay with it just being me for it forever,
because like love isn't guaranteed and the type of love
(47:20):
that I want haven't gone through the men that I have.
The type of perfect love that I want is going
to be extremely hard to find. And if someone can't
treat me that way, then I don't I don't want it,
So I just have to get used to, yeah, being
on my own. And I'm actually really lucky as well
because my best friends, like all of my close friends
I spend every single waking minute with, are all single
(47:43):
as well. So that does help guys unheard of, Yeah,
I know, and you know what, all of my friends
are so fucking hot, like so hot, but they're all
like me. They're just like, oh, I just couldn't be arsed,
Like I'm not Like long term relationships and kids like
are just not for us. So it's really helpful when
you've got mates that are all single as.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Well, doing the same stuff and like you have each
other as opposed to them being like in the middle
of the night.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Exactly and then going off to like holidays with their fellows,
Like no, we're the first point to contact. I want
to go here on holidays and you want to go
with me, and you're like mostly.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
And I do.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
It's called it's on you I wrote it with the
lads about the First X, the first Big X, and
it's a great little stomper. I have to say, it
really is. It's a great little disco tune. I've gotten
a few emails about it being added to playlists on
radio and stuff, so I'm really looking forward to to that.
(48:41):
So I think, thank you so much. And I have
a gig. I mean, I hope, so I've been doing
it for so many years, I really have. I'm just like,
come on, someone give me a million. Please, let me
just quit everything for a year and go into the
studio and create magic.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
With you still only look like a small child fresh
out the fucking womb, just a little seventeen years old.
Everybody that you're twenty four, just restart again.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Oh I can absolutely gastlate everyone. And they're like, it
says here in your passport twenty two. I'm like, excuse me.
It says what I wanted to say. I'm twenty two.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
