What happens when modern dating meets far-right ideology? This week, Matchmaker Maria sits down with journalist and award-winning editor Vera Papisova, who went undercover on conservative dating apps during the 2024 election cycle. Her mission? To understand the rise of red pill culture, Christian nationalism, and the growing appeal of traditional gender roles in far-right dating spaces.

From profiles proudly declaring "pureblood" status to men seeking "biblical wives," Vera shares what she uncovered while dating undercover and the dangerous ways misogyny is showing up in romantic relationships. The conversation also touches on the backlash Maria and her co-host faced after discussing red pill content last month, revealing the alarming vitriol that came their way.

This isn't just a chat about dating, it's a revealing look at how politics, power, and patriarchy collide in the most intimate parts of our lives.
