This week's guest is Ross (@unsub1989), content creator, activist, accidental political commentator, and self-described 'Paddystinian.' His online journey is a funny one. He started off posting tasteful thirst traps on TikTok and somehow ended up talking about housing, healthcare, and government policy.

But today we are parking the politics, and we're getting into his dating life. Ross is bisexual, so he's seeing it from all angles. We talk about his disillusionment with hookup culture, how it's no easier dating men as a man, and some of the mad situations that he's found himself in over the years, including getting catfished on Craigslist and a date getting maximum financial value from him. Enjoy!

Welcome back to The Dating Orange!

Three women got in touch with me separately over the space of a few months, all describing different experiences with the same man from a dating app… and it was only when they started comparing notes that they realised they hadn’t just dated the same person, they had all been speaking to the same fake identity. Tune in this week as we ask who is behind Dr. Rudy Stein.

And yet, when it came time to meet him in real life, something always came up, something always went wrong… and eventually, after a bit of digging, the entire identity started to fall apart.
