Could this Tinder profile really be Dean Gaffney?

On Tinder (I know....) and just seen a profile allegedly of Dean Gaffney. Didn't seem to be a mick take and the photos were candid rather than from the media but surely not? But then if you were catfishing I'm sure you'd pretend to be someone more interesting/attractive...

Funniest thing about it all is that a rumour was spread that I have actually been with him. I 100% haven't, but I do know someone who has and considers it an achievement....

Yes he's a prolific womaniser and will swipe right on literally every woman. He's well known in the dating groups on Facebook and lots of women laugh that they've been Gaffney'd. True story!!

He came up on my Tinder as well, twice!!

GIYF.

Ironically, I googled this. I thought it might be Google It You Fucker. Glad those aren't the actual words...

Why do you need to contact Dean Gaffney so desperately? Surely the quickest way would be to set up your own Tinder profile and swipe right on him yourself.

Yes some people did used to say Google It You Fuckwit which is v similar but I prefer the original.

BornToBeWithYourMan · 17/07/2026 21:47

OP - Can you message him and give him my phone number? I want to talk to him on whatsapp.

If you are ok with this, please send me a private message. I cant wait.

Are you trying to seduce Dean Gaffney? I shouldn't imagine it's that difficult.

notatinydancer · 18/07/2026 19:30

So what if he’s on Tinder ? He’s an ex soap actor. Hardly Brad Pitt. Isn’t Raya for ultra famous people ?

seventeenofsumday · 20/07/2026 15:42

Why do I always get Joe squash, dean gaffney, and Sid Owen mixed up??

seventeenofsumday · 20/07/2026 15:43

I've just googled it too as I thought the same as you

Thank you!

Are you going to let us know if you pull him? Good luck!

Why would people spread a rumour about you having a relationship with a former soap actor? Seems a bit random. And now you’ve found him on a dating app? Why were you looking for him?

Yeah I thought that. It's too random unless you had met him or said you liked him or spoken about him at some point OP. Now you've 'found' him on Tinder and want to know if it's definitely him? Why does it matter if your standards are so much higher?

By "dating groups", do you mean groups where people look for dates? Or where they discuss their dating experiences?

Would it be OK to ask for the names of the biggest such groups? Thanks if so...
