Matchmaker Maria Avgitidis interviews journalist Vera Papisova about her undercover investigation of conservative dating apps and the rise of extremist ideologies in modern dating
April 8, 2025
<p class="" data-start="264" data-end="676">What happens when modern dating meets far-right ideology? This week, Matchmaker Maria sits down with journalist and award-winning editor <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/verapapisova/?hl=en">Vera Papisova</a>, 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.</p> <p class="" data-start="678" data-end="1061">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.</p> <p class="" data-start="1063" data-end="1208">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.</p> <p>🤩 <strong> Check out My Websites and Socials! </strong> 🙃</p> <p>💖Podcast Website: <a href= "https://www.askamatchmaker.com/">https://www.askamatchmaker.com/</a><br /> 💖Agape Match Website: <a href= "https://agapematch.com/">https://agapematch.com/</a><br /> 💖Matchmaker Maria TikTok: <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@realmatchmakermaria">https://www.tiktok.com/@realmatchmakermaria</a><br /> 💖Matchmaker Maria Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/matchmakermaria">https://www.instagram.com/matchmakermaria</a><br /> 💖Agape Match Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/agapematch/">https://www.instagram.com/agapematch/</a><br /> 💖Agame Match Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/AgapeMatch">https://www.facebook.com/AgapeMatch</a><br /> 💖Agape Match Twitter: <a href= "https://www.x.com/AgapeMatch">https://www.x.com/AgapeMatch</a></p> <p>📚Maria has some big news—she's got a <a href= "https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/ask-a-matchmaker-9781250342355/?utm_source=meta&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=SMP+-+Ask+a+Matchmaker+-+Cover+Reveal+Boost+-+9781250342355&campaign_id=6612334231745&utm_term=Fans&utm_content=A&utm_id=6612334231745">book coming out</a>, </p> <p>🙋♀️Our Producer Venetia AKA V <br /> Website - <a href= "https://www.venetiageras.com/">https://www.venetiageras.com/</a><br /> Twitter - <a href= "https://x.com/venetiaageras">https://X.com/venetiaageras</a><br /> Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venetiaageras/</p> <p>🎥 by WTF Media Studios<br /> Website - https://www.wtfmediastudios.com/home</p> <p>ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗<br /> Ask a Matchmaker is your weekly go-to podcast for all things love and relationships.

<p class="" data-start="118" data-end="445">This week, Matchmaker Maria is joined by comedian Jessie Lee, known for her hilarious character comedy and spot-on impressions of emotionally unavailable men. Jessie shares why she’s taking a break from dating—after one too many weird encounters, including a post-hookup serenade from a naked guy with a guitar (yes, really).</p> <p class="" data-start="447" data-end="947">Maria and Jessie also dive into Jessie’s viral Instagram and TikTok sketches, where she hilariously roasts men who refuse to commit or introduce you to their friends. Then, the conversation takes a turn into flirting—or, more specifically, the serious decline of flirting in Gen Z. With so much interaction happening online, are we losing the art of in-person charm? Jessie confesses she’s got a weak flirt game, so Maria gives her some much-needed tips… and even assigns her flirtation homework!</p> <p class="" data-start="949" data-end="1011">It’s a fun and insightful episode—be sure to listen and watch!</p> <p class="" data-start="949" data-end="1011"> </p> <p>🤩 <strong> Check out My Websites and Socials! </strong> 🙃</p> <p>💖Podcast Website: <a href= "https://www.askamatchmaker.com/">https://www.askamatchmaker.com/</a><br /> 💖Agape Match Website: <a href= "https://agapematch.com/">https://agapematch.com/</a><br /> 💖Matchmaker Maria TikTok: <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@realmatchmakermaria">https://www.tiktok.com/@realmatchmakermaria</a><br /> 💖Matchmaker Maria Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/matchmakermaria">https://www.instagram.com/matchmakermaria</a><br /> 💖Agape Match Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/agapematch/">https://www.instagram.com/agapematch/</a><br /> 💖Agame Match Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/AgapeMatch">https://www.facebook.com/AgapeMatch</a><br /> 💖Agape Match Twitter: <a href= "https://www.x.com/AgapeMatch">https://www.x.com/AgapeMatch</a></p> <p>📚Maria has some big news—she's got a <a href= "https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/ask-a-matchmaker-9781250342355/?utm_source=meta&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=SMP+-+Ask+a+Matchmaker+-+Cover+Reveal+Boost+-+9781250342355&campaign_id=6612334231745&utm_term=Fans&utm_content=A&utm_id=6612334231745">book coming out</a>, </p> <p>🙋♀️Our Producer Venetia AKA V <br /> Website - <a href= "https://www.venetiageras.com/">https://www.venetiageras.com/</a><br /> Twitter - <a href= "https://x.com/venetiaageras">https://X.com/venetiaageras</a><br /> Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venetiaageras/</p> <p>🎥 by WTF Media Studios<br /> Website - https://www.wtfmediastudios.com/home</p> <p>ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗<br /> Ask a Matchmaker is your weekly go-to podcast for all things love and relationships.
