Transcripts

dating in 2024 let's not waste time how

do you find the person where do I meet

people here's a guide based on your age

we got 18 through 20 so wherever you can

get in we got 18 plus events School your

part-time job parties when I was this

age I was striking out all the time so I

don't know we got 21 through 24 but

really all the clubs are unlocked we

have clubs bars University grad school

the library your part-time job maybe not

your full-time job this is my range and

all these places have worked very well

for me me some a little too well 25

through 30 aka the beginning of the end

starting that adult life and maybe

putting those thating days behind you

I'm sure 21 through 24 places should

work but if you just got your Masters

and you're more worried about incoming

freshman than your yearly income I have

someone I want you to meet now we have e

for everybody friend of a friend never

works out for me the gym watch out for

tripods your job I learned my lesson

Church Hit or Miss but we have some

Classics the grocery store the Library

Target thrift stores cafes lounges

Barnes and noals you get the point how

about clubs no not those clubs running

clubs softball teams Book Club Tennis

gaming yoga Pilates whatever wherever

you go there's girls and guys there I

promise just be brave and don't fear

Rejection it hurts it's going to happen

but you'll live no luck here time to

swallow your pride AKA dating apps my

stats here's my height build location

and other little details I added hinge

the the best and just for science I

bought the unlimited likes for $8 for 24

hours I sent out about like 200 likes in

one day and here are the results

relationships are possible here a huge

number of people are actually trying to

go on dates I dated a bunch of girls off

this app without having to pay for the

service at all all it really does is

just speed up the matching process with

that being said I don't know if I'd

recommend getting the plus but if you're

really thirsty you can realistically

swipe on a 100 people in one day then

you can really see who's desperate

deserving enough of your time Tinder

this is the most popular dating app and

a lot of people are on it but if you're

looking for hookups or catfishes look no

further because in my area this is a

meme so no real chance of love coffee

meets Bagel it's either racist or I'm

coping this app is based on long-term

relationships and well in my area it's a

bunch of Asian girls on that app and I

find beauty in all Races but they did

not find any beauty in me oh well Bumble

it's okay it's like a money hungry

watered down version of hinge everything

that we have on that app is behind a pay

wall their selling point used to be that

the girls make the first move looks like

woman empowerment doesn't keep the

lights on anymore however unlike on

hinge you can't even see the person that

likes you or even do much about it

without paying even things like swiping

left by accident is a mistake punishable

by payment so wrapping up hinge promotes

this kind of Engagement and Bumble

promotes this kind of Engagement here's

the meta guys you need the edge to stand

out so that means flex your good

qualities the biggest winners of The

Meta are super obvious if you can

combine two or more of these you can

really Excel and you're really higher on

this arbitrary list I made things like

height looking fit good face structure

and a great sense of fashion also a nice

hairstyle these are the most popular in

my area can you flex your wealth this is

also High tier but beware you could be

seen as a lick for those that date on

recruit mode girls they typically have

it easy because the external and

internal pressure for a man to find a

woman is generational so to be honest

many girls have few to many people to

choose from at a time and that won't

change for a long long time however

there are some exceptions some girls

don't like guys so they end up facing

the same issues guys face some girls are

introverted and they aren't around

people they find attractive or want to

date but if I must here are the winners

of the girl meta we

got natural body pretty face nice hair

nice eyes mentally unstable indecisive

pick me goth thick petite blonde fit

into cars Marvel anime cosplay natural

body or a DLC BBL pay to win body so

like basically any

for everybody lower tier are people with

only one nice quality like you just have

nice teeth or nice smile or nice hair or

fashion tattoos dadbod Etc these help

because they're Niche so it's very big

for some people you definitely can see

succcess but probably narrow your search

results lower on The Meta are people who

are on either side of the extreme in

terms of scale numbers or people with

faces that just um they grow on you I

don't make the rules and I'm not going

to sugar coat it but we all know people

who would fold for this and we

definitely know a lot of people who

would fold for this so someone's going

to fold for you but these are only

physical traits I can be her main

mechanic her number one source of

entertainment and her personal chef you

can't tell them about these major

accomplishments if you can't get past

the walkup phase that first interaction

SLP picture holds a lot of weight on the

app many people judge you off your first

picture before swiping you into the

abyss focus on the ability to attract

someone without yet speaking to them

then that personality will see steal the

deal would you ever date someone you

find unattractive because they have a

glowing personality if so congrats

you're better than me but I think we

deserve both a balance of the two we all

like or fetishize different shapes and

sizes so I'm sure you're someone's type

looks is what opens the door but if

what's inside is weak or lackluster no

one's going to stick around so yes of

course personality is crucial long term

you want to improve your look the gym is

the most effective but not the only

route take some time and think of a new

way to switch it up maybe shop at a

different place a new hair style or

cologne or put yourself in different

spaces with like-minded individuals or

get the hype surgery my type out of

These Fine women well I would have to

say wait wait wait if all of us uh if I

follow this won't I lose originality

this is not a checklist this is a

baseline you don't have to follow it but

I do say you should understand it just

because you possess all these things

does not confirm you're instantly going

to find someone it just improves your

chances and if you have none of these

things it does not mean you'll be

forever lonely plenty of times Trends

are rocked or changed maybe you'll be

the one to do it there's once a day

where this was considered cringe now

look almost done some tips for everyone

before you go if they're a bad texter at

first they're probably going to continue

to be a bad texter all the time

capitalize on calling or FaceTiming or

just cut them off like I would don't be

afraid to just walk up to someone and

ask them out just be respectful cheating

is uncool just end it if you want

somebody else either be a thot or be

cuffed choose one confirm that they are

legal age immediately under any

circumstances never send any money to

someone you're trying to date guy or

girl I don't know why people do this are

your mom and dad single check on them

make sure they're not spending any of

your inheritance money on some catfish

in Brazil before going on that first

date share your location with someone

you trust girls and guys you never know

what you're driving into lying about

your height lame lying about having a

kid lame seeing you want to watch my

shows I like and then when it's time to

actually watch you start complaining

lame sh if you get no matches you're not

a lame I suggest taking more well-lit

pictures that show off your style most

importantly always know you can devote

your time to your dreams and goals don't

associate happiness with a second party

always love yourself first romance is

like money on the floor there's equal

chance of finding it when you're not

even looking for it that's why I'm

deleting these apps for good I'm putting

my focus on making content and I'll find

my misses sooner or later plus dating

these days well would you dive head

first in this dating pool if you forgot

to like And subscribe don't worry you'll

get them next time
