Ep. 56: Is This Guy Dangerous or Just Mildly Creepy? How to Find Red Flags in Dating Profiles and Garbo CEO and Stalking Survivor Kathryn Kosmides Talks Background Checks


Listen Later

Ah, the dating pool. Like hell, but with cocktails. If you're in it, you know its horrors. Out of every 100 cishet male dating profiles, at least 98 are likely giving either an inkling of a future serial killer or someone holding a fish. Jenna, one of Toxic's hosts, sometimes dips her toes into said pool and then promptly jumps back out again. But along the way, she's saved some eyebrow-raising profiles for us to read together. In this episode, Amanda lends her insight to whether the deets these guys choose to share are just weird (aka, dying guy wants HJs), or if they're red flags that could indicate a risk of power, control or violence down the road. We also welcome the CEO of Garbo, a new kind of safety system founded by survivor Kathryn Kosmides who talks about turning her own horrors with dating partners into a career as a badass female CEO with a company that helps protect others from being bamboozled, or worse.
