Summary

We all know women are the FBI when it comes to dating, and we are diving in deep with the hosts of The Dating Detectives podcast – private investigator Mackenzie Fultz and comedian Hanna Anderson. We discuss how to catch liars, cheaters, catfishes, and DOGfishes, how to find someone online, the number one red flag when newly dating someone, why you can never trust a photo, "Are we dating the same guy?" Facebook groups, and when to be suspicious if a guy tells you his ex was crazy or he's cheated in the past. We also discuss the day-to-day of being a PI and how to become one (for Ashley), and we break down two unsolved dating mysteries – one wild listener submission and one mind-boggling experience a male friend of ours had. Before our guests join us, we're talking about cheap guys, farting in front of your partner, and a dining experience we keep having that would only happen in LA. Enjoy!
