Catfished! Spotting Fakes in the Swinger Lifestyle (Revisited)

That gorgeous couple sliding into your DMs? Yeah... about that. In this revisited episode of Beyond Monogamy, Adam & Pris dive into catfishing in the swinger lifestyle — the fake profiles, filtered photos, and flat-out fictional people lurking in ethical non-monogamy spaces. With 15 years in the lifestyle, they've seen (and nearly fallen for) it all.

In this episode:

• Adam's AOL chat room days — and the too-perfect mystery woman who vanished
• Filters, angles, and 20-year-old photos: where does flattering end and lying begin?
• Why catfishing hits harder in the swinger lifestyle than in vanilla dating
• The "personality catfish" nobody talks about — fake nice, fake in love, fake experienced
• Scammers, bots, and the infamous $45 nail-money hustle
• Red flags in open relationships and swinger apps: no photos, model-only photos, stories that don't add up, dodging verification, pushing for nudes
• How to protect yourself: live video verification, Pris's date-on-paper photo trick, cross-referencing profiles, and trusting your gut
• Why trust, consent, and honesty are non-negotiable in ethical non-monogamy
