00:00:00
He swiped 2 million times. 2,58,000
00:00:04
times. He got 2,000 matches from that.
00:00:08
Mhm.
00:00:08
Which turned into 1,200 chats, which
00:00:12
turned into one date. Such a system is
00:00:15
failing a huge percentage of people.
00:00:17
What's the honest advice that someone
00:00:19
like him needs?
00:00:20
I would not spend my time discussing
00:00:21
what you're doing on the app. I would
00:00:23
discuss what you're doing off the app.
00:00:24
And if you ever are even off the app,
00:00:27
the amount of hours of swiping that
00:00:29
you've done, obviously this is not
00:00:31
yielding anything. Why are you
00:00:33
continuing? 5 years is an enormous
00:00:35
amount of time in your life. I feel sad
00:00:37
for you. Have you been with with your
00:00:40
friends? Do you have friends? Have your
00:00:42
friends introduced you to people? Have
00:00:44
you gone to places where you are more
00:00:46
likely to meet people? If you're trying
00:00:48
to park in a space that you can't get in
00:00:50
at some point, don't you go look for
00:00:52
another space? So this is not an
00:00:54
indictment of the app. This is not an
00:00:56
indictment of disperses. This is an
00:00:58
indictment of the relationship between
00:01:00
us and something that we have been told
00:01:03
is going to deliver to us. And when it
00:01:06
doesn't deliver, we'd rather humiliate
00:01:09
ourselves. A sense of what's the matter
00:01:12
here? Why is this not happening? What's
00:01:14
wrong with it or what's wrong with me?
00:01:16
It's a statement of this thing doesn't
00:01:18
work for me and men don't get answered
00:01:21
on the app. And you get this whole
00:01:23
plight.
