Is This Catfishing… or Hoodfishing? | Ask a Matchmaker Podcast with Matchmaker Maria

This week’s Ask a Matchmaker Hotline has everything from dating app burnout to inspiring relationship updates. One caller, 40, tried a bold Hinge strategy but got no results, so Maria advises her to take a break from swiping and start meeting people IRL, even suggesting a Star Trek convention. Another caller, 41, struggles with being sexualized online despite having a thoughtful profile, and Maria gives her the ultimate solution: block, swipe, and move on. The episode also dives into “hood fishing,” where people fake their location to get more matches, and why honesty is always the better play. To close, a listener calls in with a heartwarming update about meeting an incredible partner on Bumble, plus a sweet story about reading Maria’s book with her mom in the hospital. It’s the perfect mix of tough love, practical tips, and proof that great matches really do exist.
