Swipes 4 Daddy: Tinder Dads with @Swipes4Daddy's Erika Gajda

Welcome to Season 5 of Mads World!! In this episode, I am bloody thrilled to be joined by Erika Gajda, creator of @Swipes4Daddy. Erika started her popular Instagram account, the sensational @Swipes 4 Daddy, around eight years ago. In a nutshell, Erika began setting her Tinder age range to 45+, asking the men who matched with her if they were dads, and then fuelling the chaos that followed. Initially an in-joke with friends, she then began posting the hilarious content on Instagram, which began to go viral due to the cringe nature of the dating app screenshots. It also caused many people to question their online personas and presence when using dating apps. In this episode, we chat about all things age gaps. Alongside a couple of our own stories, we get deep on why Erika started the account, what she has learned, Tinder Dads and who they are, the wealth disparity and power imbalances that come with them, and her advice on dating with a large age gap. Submit your dating questions through madsworld.mp3, and my guests and I will answer them on the show in our Left On Read segment! You will remain anonymous.
