00:04:13und du fühlst dich das warm, faszinierend fühlst.
00:04:17Das wahrscheinlich nicht mehr passiert.
00:04:20Ich denke, wenn du jemanden diesen Tag hattest,
00:04:22du wirst wahrscheinlich blabelt als Psychopath.
00:04:35Wir haben wirklich zwei große Transitionen
00:04:38seit der Entwicklung der sozialen Monogamie,
00:04:40etwa 4-4.4 Millionen Jahre.
00:04:43Der erste große Transition war der Räumen der Agrarpolitik,
00:04:4710-15,000 Jahre.
00:04:49Und der zweite große Transition,
00:04:51ich denke, hat die Räumen der Internet.
00:04:54Und mit der Räumen der Internet,
00:04:56wir sind in evolutionärerlich unprecedenteden Wäste.
00:04:59Wir erleben eine Zeit,
00:05:01in der die Menschen mit uns beschäftigen,
00:05:05insbesondere um Probleme und Sex,
00:05:08in ways that are totally novel.
00:05:10Now, das ist nicht zu sagen,
00:05:11dass wir nicht aktivieren
00:05:13die biologischen Beziehungen
00:05:15von unseren Behörden,
00:05:17wie wir die Internet
00:05:18und wie wir die Technologie nutzen,
00:05:20um zu engagieren.
00:05:21Aber was es bedeutet,
00:05:22ist, dass es als Plattform
00:05:23es total novel ist.
00:05:25Es ist total unprecheinander.
00:05:27Eine kleine Katja,
00:05:29die Menschen mit einer
00:05:30Beziehungen zu der Zeit
00:05:31und Anregung auflösen,
00:05:32dass sie eine kleine Katja
00:05:34auf die Welt
00:05:48und die Menschen mit einer
00:05:50If a girl is very distinctly attractive, then that's a swipe right.
00:06:01If there are three girls and some of them are moderately attractive,
00:06:05then you go through and see who's who.
00:06:08Usually what will happen is I'll go through,
00:06:11and if I see a girl that I think is really attractive, swipe right.
00:06:16And if we match, then I go through and then I look at their profile.
00:06:19Because, I don't know, you can't really send, like, a chat-up line without anything to go off of.
00:06:24Let me show you.
00:06:25Because I don't know what this girl really looks like.
00:06:28She's got this kind of ambiguous profile.
00:06:30She's 18?
00:06:31Is she?
00:06:31Oh, I'm 22.
00:06:32They all blend together at some point.
00:06:40Hey.
00:06:41Hi.
00:06:42How are you?
00:06:42Good, how are you?
00:06:43Good. How'd you meet it?
00:06:45Oh, sorry, traffic was...
00:06:46Yeah, it was bedtime.
00:06:48Do you want coffee?
00:06:48Oh, sure.
00:06:49Where do you work?
00:06:50I work at an Italian restaurant.
00:06:52Nice.
00:06:52I'm a waitress.
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:54Yeah, I had three dogs growing up,
00:06:56and a bunch of cats and chickens and cows and goats.
00:06:59I lived on a farm.
00:07:00Totally, yeah.
00:07:01That makes sense.
00:07:02Yeah.
00:07:02Oh, man.
00:07:03I, um...
00:07:04So, whenever I'm in a new class and it's like,
00:07:06what's your fun fact?
00:07:07My fun fact is always that I'm related to Pocahontas.
00:07:11What?
00:07:11Yeah, but that's an aside.
00:07:13And the other one is that I helped birth a goat on a farm once,
00:07:17and they named the goat after me.
00:07:18That's very cool.
00:07:20Tell me about your puppy.
00:07:21Her name is Maya.
00:07:22Nice.
00:07:23Named after Maya Angelou.
00:07:24That's what I was going to guess.
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:26So, do you play any instruments or do any art or...?
00:07:28No, I think that, um...
00:07:30This is going to sound super pretentious and lame,
00:07:32but I think I'm, like, an artist.
00:07:34I just don't make a lot of art.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:35So, I have to go meet my friends,
00:07:36but I really want to do this again.
00:07:38Yeah, for sure.
00:07:39Excellent.
00:07:39Hey, I'll text you.
00:07:40Thanks for having me.
00:07:40Yeah, oh, thank you.
00:07:41Glad you're talking to me.
00:07:42Yeah.
00:07:43I'll talk to you soon.
00:07:44Yeah, talk to you soon.
00:07:45Bye.
00:07:49Hey, dude, what are you doing?
00:07:52Like, have you guys had dates where you go and you, like...
00:07:55Like, the conversation's good,
00:07:57but you know it's not going to go anywhere?
00:07:58Mm-hmm.
00:07:59It was kind of like that.
00:08:00Yeah, it was like a friendly date.
00:08:01Yeah, like, you know that...
00:08:02Like, you're looking for an end
00:08:04to progress the conversation
00:08:05into something more, like, intimate
00:08:07or, like, sexual or something,
00:08:09and it just never really happened.
00:08:10I think you take Tinder a lot differently
00:08:12than other people,
00:08:14uh, based on, like, the first interaction,
00:08:17being at a coffee house instead of your house,
00:08:20or...
00:08:21Yeah.
00:08:21Or, hey, meet me at this alley.
00:08:22Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:08:23Open the door for her.
00:08:24Yeah, that is indicative
00:08:26of a different intention, definitely, definitely.
00:08:29Because, Eli, I think most of your Tinder dates,
00:08:31yeah, take place in the...
00:08:32The physical, real quick.
00:08:34In the home.
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:36We evolved in the context of small groups,
00:08:40where, say, ranging from 50 to 150 individuals.
00:08:44In small group living
00:08:45with limited geographical mobility,
00:08:48you would have only encountered perhaps
00:08:50a few dozen potential mates
00:08:52in your entire lifetime.
00:08:54So, what's weird is that we take this,
00:08:58you know, small group mating psychology
00:09:00where we're...
00:09:01The number of potential mates is very limited
00:09:03and transplant it to the modern world
00:09:05where we have thousands and thousands
00:09:08of potential mates
00:09:09that we could keep swiping through.
00:09:11And it triggers this short-term mating psychology
00:09:16in a way that never would have been triggered ancestrally.
00:09:19I have just a funny perspective on it
00:09:21because we used to be roommates.
00:09:24And really, just the funny part was
00:09:26it was just out of the blue.
00:09:27There was never any discussion of it.
00:09:30But, you know, it would just be
00:09:31a completely normal Tuesday night at 9 p.m.
00:09:34and there'd be a knock on the door
00:09:37and I'd answer the door
00:09:37and it would be a girl I'd never seen before.
00:09:40And you'll be like,
00:09:41oh, this is my friend.
00:09:42Here we go.
00:09:43Yeah.
00:09:44So, it was very casual, you know?
00:09:45Yeah, I remember that.
00:09:47It was all of September.
00:09:49every single day I'd be on Tinder,
00:09:52maybe like 10, 20 swipes a day.
00:09:54It's all the numbers game.
00:09:56So, like once a week,
00:09:58pretty much on a Tuesday night
00:10:00because I remember my Wednesday class
00:10:03always being so happy in that class.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:19I have always wanted to, you know,
00:10:24have that like super cute romantic thing
00:10:26where like I'm at a bookstore
00:10:28and this really cute stranger
00:10:30like bumps into me
00:10:31and I'm like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
00:10:32And we have this like really sweet,
00:10:34simple exchange
00:10:35and then we part ways
00:10:36and we come back together later.
00:10:37And I feel like that doesn't really,
00:10:42it doesn't really happen anymore.
00:10:44I think what's so refreshing about it
00:10:45is just that someone
00:10:47would put themselves out there
00:10:48in person.
00:10:49I think there's a vulnerability
00:10:51that people use social media
00:10:53to hide behind now
00:10:55and not have to do that
00:10:56in person interaction
00:10:57where they can be rejected.
00:10:59And he did that,
00:11:00which I think is so much more attractive.
00:11:04It's also just like oddly flattering
00:11:05then as opposed to,
00:11:06because I had a Tinder for two days
00:11:07and I got like a lot of hits
00:11:09in that time,
00:11:10but it was people just being like,
00:11:11hey, what's up?
00:11:12You want to hang out tonight?
00:11:13And I'm like,
00:11:14I don't know who you are.
00:11:15You can't completely know a person
00:11:17when all you know of them
00:11:18is behind a screen.
00:11:19Right.
00:11:20Like as much as you want to think
00:11:21that you know about them,
00:11:22you don't know their habits,
00:11:23you don't know like all those
00:11:25tiny little things.
00:11:26And also the thing about that
00:11:27is you get to choose
00:11:28what you share.
00:11:29I'm very aware of the sort of
00:11:31pressure and the need
00:11:34to like be manicured
00:11:37and like beautiful
00:11:38and have like a uniform
00:11:39Instagram feed
00:11:40that people will want to follow
00:11:42and pay attention to.
00:11:43I'm constantly haunted by FOMO.
00:11:45I can easily fall into rabbit holes
00:11:47where I'll spend hours
00:11:48just like scrolling through blogs
00:11:51that have these pictures
00:11:52of like beautiful, beautiful women
00:11:53that I'm never going to be
00:11:54and like these houses
00:11:56and these clothes
00:11:57and these vacations
00:11:59that I'm never going to have.
00:12:00I don't have the greatest self-esteem,
00:12:02which is something
00:12:03I've been trying to work on,
00:12:04which is another reason
00:12:06why I've been trying
00:12:07to sort of like step back
00:12:08from spending so much time online.
00:12:13Okay, swipe right.
00:12:16Okay, sexually provocative.
00:12:19Showing breast cleavage.
00:12:26The duck lip shot.
00:12:28Because you see the picture,
00:12:30it tends to swamp
00:12:32all the other information.
00:12:34In the past, you did find out
00:12:35you knew about
00:12:36the person's education.
00:12:39You spent some time with the person
00:12:40so you found out
00:12:41about his personality.
00:12:42Is he emotionally stable?
00:12:44Is this person dependable?
00:12:45How intelligent are they?
00:12:47How worldly are they?
00:12:49And now, with the dating apps,
00:12:51physical appearance
00:12:52overwhelms all that other information
00:12:55and takes on
00:12:56a disproportionately large role,
00:12:58I think, in mating.
00:13:00When we look at dating apps
00:13:01and we see the pictures
00:13:03that people are posting,
00:13:04the ways they're presenting themselves,
00:13:05what's very interesting
00:13:06is that the men tend
00:13:08tend to present themselves
00:13:09in very stereotypically male ways
00:13:12as providers,
00:13:14as fishing,
00:13:15as hunting,
00:13:15as they're up on a mountain
00:13:17or, you know,
00:13:18they're puffing their chests,
00:13:19they look like they're cut,
00:13:20they have these perfect bodies,
00:13:22whereas women
00:13:23present them,
00:13:24tend to present themselves
00:13:25in more sexual ways.
00:13:26And this goes back
00:13:27to the basics,
00:13:29you know,
00:13:29the old Barbie and Ken culture.
00:13:31Wait, one of the worst accounts
00:13:32of the guys looking
00:13:34for the swole mates.
00:13:36Oh, God.
00:13:37I hate the swole mate
00:13:38fucking profile.
00:13:40Oh, my God.
00:13:41Oh, my God.
00:13:42I love that.
00:13:43I love that.
00:13:44And I just want to know,
00:13:45guys are out fishing
00:13:46and they're like,
00:13:47I just caught this
00:13:48big-ass trout.
00:13:50Bro, will you take a photo
00:13:51of me with this fish?
00:13:52I really need it
00:13:53for my Tinder profile.
00:13:54Can you just, like,
00:13:55help me out, bro?
00:13:56Breasts, friendliness,
00:13:58breasts,
00:13:59breast and friendliness.
00:14:00You get the pucker.
00:14:01Yeah, because sex sells.
00:14:02Sex always sells.
00:14:03Go back to anything ever
00:14:04and sex always fucking sells.
00:14:06And I hate it.
00:14:07I hate it.
00:14:08I hate it.
00:14:08And I also hate the fact
00:14:09that, like,
00:14:10we live in this world now
00:14:11where everything
00:14:13and so much of what you are
00:14:15is so dependent
00:14:15on how you look.
00:14:17And, like, I hate...
00:14:19I'm getting really emotional
00:14:20about this.
00:14:21It's like, I hate...
00:14:22Sorry.
00:14:30What's up, guys?
00:14:32Today, I'm going to be
00:14:33rating people
00:14:34on their hotness.
00:14:35We'll call it
00:14:35Howl Hot.
00:14:37Seven, fucking ten.
00:14:38Yeah, eight.
00:14:39Like a five.
00:14:408.5.
00:14:41Bro.
00:14:43That's like a
00:14:43blue-legged Ariana Grande.
00:14:46For Corey,
00:14:47we got nine.
00:14:48For Madison Beer,
00:14:50we got 6.5.
00:14:51Bro, what's heavier?
00:14:52Her or the couch, bro?
00:14:53Oh, my God.
00:14:54Fucking ten.
00:14:55Dead.
00:14:56That's one hot-looking girl.
00:14:57So, if there's an opportunity
00:15:03to see women
00:15:05as body parts
00:15:06or sexual objects
00:15:07instead of as whole
00:15:08human beings,
00:15:09that opportunity
00:15:10will be taken.
00:15:11And I would say
00:15:12that the whole setup,
00:15:14the whole structure,
00:15:14the whole architecture
00:15:15of dating apps
00:15:16that depend on
00:15:18split-second decisions
00:15:19of are you hot or not
00:15:20is one of the ways
00:15:22that that is being exploited.
00:15:23What was FaceMash
00:15:25and is it still up and running?
00:15:27You know, Congressman,
00:15:29FaceMash was a prank website
00:15:31that I launched
00:15:32in college
00:15:33in my dorm room.
00:15:35Silicon Valley,
00:15:36you've got to understand
00:15:36that there's a lot
00:15:37of the companies
00:15:38are started by boys.
00:15:39They're not men.
00:15:39They're boys, right?
00:15:41And one of the reasons
00:15:42for that is because
00:15:43they all go to
00:15:44the same schools together,
00:15:45to Stanford or Harvard
00:15:46or whatever it is, right?
00:15:48And they all live
00:15:49in the boys' dorms
00:15:50and they sit around
00:15:51on their computers,
00:15:53nerding out,
00:15:53and they say,
00:15:55wouldn't it be cool
00:15:55if you had this thing
00:15:56way you could do this thing?
00:15:57And then something
00:15:59inevitably ends up
00:16:00becoming a company
00:16:02and it's all the boys,
00:16:04the bros,
00:16:05that go and build
00:16:06these apps together
00:16:07and these sites together
00:16:08and that's predominantly
00:16:10why it is the way it is.
00:16:26We were looking for different areas
00:16:30that had disruption available,
00:16:33places that hadn't jumped
00:16:34into the mobile market so well.
00:16:36We were very focused
00:16:36on mobile first,
00:16:38mobile only,
00:16:39and we saw the dating market
00:16:42as one of those things.
00:16:43The dating industry
00:16:44was extremely shunned upon
00:16:46in the young, hip,
00:16:48millennial college market.
00:16:49If you looked at any
00:16:50of those other dating services,
00:16:52you would only really use them
00:16:53if you were,
00:16:55I don't want to say desperate,
00:16:56but almost desperate, right?
00:16:58The idea of a one-click sign-on,
00:16:59which was a natural outgrowth
00:17:01of mobile phones
00:17:02and social networks,
00:17:03was the idea
00:17:04that you can take contacts
00:17:06that already exist for a user.
00:17:08So their Facebook profile
00:17:09already exists,
00:17:10they can just plug that in,
00:17:11their location
00:17:11is already being fed out
00:17:13by the GPS
00:17:14on their mobile phone,
00:17:15their friend network
00:17:16is already mapped out
00:17:17by Facebook.
00:17:18And so it was a lot easier
00:17:20to just click a button.
00:17:21We know everything
00:17:21we need to know
00:17:22about you already
00:17:23and we can start introducing
00:17:24you to the right people
00:17:25instantly.
00:17:26And it became so easy,
00:17:28it was like,
00:17:29why wouldn't you do it?
00:17:30I wrote the original application,
00:17:32the iPhone application,
00:17:34and I also came up
00:17:37with the swipe.
00:17:38The swipe mechanic
00:17:39really was the mechanic
00:17:41that worked for
00:17:42a mobile generation
00:17:43who had short attention spans,
00:17:45was always on their
00:17:46three and a half inch screens.
00:17:48And yeah,
00:17:49I think it worked.
00:17:50We have 1.5 billion swipes a day.
00:17:53And I know a long time ago
00:17:54in the early days,
00:17:55I think I had figured out
00:17:56if it was,
00:17:57if the average swipe
00:17:58or something was,
00:17:59I don't know,
00:18:00like an inch or something.
00:18:01I can't remember
00:18:02how many times
00:18:03you could wrap around
00:18:04the Earth
00:18:05with the number of swipes.
00:18:06And that was a long time ago.
00:18:08So I'm, you know,
00:18:09we might be on our way
00:18:09to Mars now or something.
00:18:11I'm not sure.
00:18:16I'll never forget
00:18:20the very first time
00:18:21I really took Tinder
00:18:23to a university.
00:18:26I landed on the SMU campus.
00:18:27I went into the sorority houses.
00:18:29And I basically got up
00:18:31on those tables,
00:18:32stood up on a chair,
00:18:33screamed over hundreds
00:18:35of girls eating dinner,
00:18:37and pretty much imposed Tinder
00:18:39onto every single phone.
00:18:40and then I ran
00:18:42as fast as I could
00:18:43with my, you know,
00:18:44fun, enthusiastic girlfriends,
00:18:46two or three of them.
00:18:47And we went into
00:18:48the frat houses
00:18:49and we had already
00:18:50put the women on the app,
00:18:51right?
00:18:52So we went into
00:18:52the frat houses
00:18:53and we said,
00:18:54guys, attention, listen up.
00:18:55You know, it's really hard
00:18:56to get that attention
00:18:57during feeding time,
00:18:58right, at the frat house
00:18:59because this is
00:19:00the chapter meeting,
00:19:01so it's dinner time.
00:19:02And we basically said,
00:19:03you know,
00:19:04every, every kappa,
00:19:06every pi phi,
00:19:06every theta,
00:19:07they're, they're on this app
00:19:09and they're waiting
00:19:09for you to match with them.
00:19:11Download it, download it,
00:19:12download it.
00:19:22Plainfield is exactly
00:19:25how it sounds.
00:19:27Just like a lot
00:19:28of plain fields.
00:19:33It was very hard
00:19:35growing up here
00:19:36as like a black girl
00:19:38because it's like
00:19:40such a predominantly
00:19:41white town
00:19:43and it's such
00:19:44a small town.
00:19:45Like me and my sister
00:19:46were probably
00:19:47two of the only ones
00:19:51when we first like
00:19:52started going to public
00:19:53school in Plainfield.
00:19:55I was like boy crazy
00:19:57in high school,
00:19:58but none of them,
00:19:59like they were all
00:20:00intimidated by me.
00:20:02I really thought
00:20:03I would never actually
00:20:04like date ever.
00:20:06I probably used
00:20:07every dating app
00:20:08like ever made
00:20:10except for like
00:20:12Grindr
00:20:13and that's,
00:20:13you know,
00:20:14because I'm straight.
00:20:15I remember when
00:20:16I was like 21,
00:20:17I was bored one summer
00:20:19and I wanted to like
00:20:20try OkCupid
00:20:21because like I lived
00:20:22at home,
00:20:23didn't have a car.
00:20:24I was like,
00:20:24hell else am I
00:20:25supposed to do?
00:20:26Oh, might as well
00:20:27just like work
00:20:28a dating app.
00:20:29It'll be fun.
00:20:29Hold on,
00:20:30what was your name?
00:20:30Everybody,
00:20:31I'm not telling you
00:20:33my name.
00:20:33It's the best name
00:20:35you have to say.
00:20:35Fine, I don't care.
00:20:36You told me this
00:20:37like forever ago
00:20:37and I think.
00:20:38My name was
00:20:39Miss Barry
00:20:40on there.
00:20:42Yeah,
00:20:43because it was like
00:20:44right when I cut my hair
00:20:46and I was,
00:20:47I was feeling myself.
00:20:49I had somebody send me
00:20:50a 14 page message
00:20:53of just vulgarity.
00:20:55I can't even,
00:20:56I can't even say
00:20:57what was said on there.
00:20:59Mostly I don't remember
00:21:00but it was something
00:21:01about farting down
00:21:02somebody's throat.
00:21:03I feel like
00:21:04on dating sites
00:21:04it gets like overly
00:21:06sexualized sometimes
00:21:07just because people
00:21:07automatically just
00:21:08want to have sex with you.
00:21:09Like all the guys
00:21:10on there,
00:21:10they're not looking
00:21:11for shit but hookups
00:21:13and like quick
00:21:15that night hookups.
00:21:16Like if they want
00:21:17to schedule a date
00:21:18it has to,
00:21:20it's probably that night
00:21:21and they're probably
00:21:22going to try
00:21:23to have sex
00:21:23with you that night.
00:21:25Here's how you get
00:21:26treated as a black woman
00:21:27when you're in a dating
00:21:27site.
00:21:28Either they don't want
00:21:28to fuck with you
00:21:29because you're black.
00:21:30I don't know why
00:21:30that freaks so many
00:21:31people out.
00:21:31Or you're so exotic
00:21:33because you're black.
00:21:34I've never fucked
00:21:34a black girl before.
00:21:35No, like they never
00:21:36seen a black woman
00:21:37before.
00:21:38They say no blacks,
00:21:39no fats,
00:21:40no like,
00:21:42it's just like that.
00:21:43Like it's exactly
00:21:45like that.
00:21:45If you're chubby,
00:21:46they be like,
00:21:46no fat women,
00:21:48no black,
00:21:49no Latinos,
00:21:49only white,
00:21:51only 18 to 25.
00:21:52I feel like I,
00:21:53I can't be myself
00:21:55or I don't want to like
00:21:59let them into like
00:22:01who I really am
00:22:03because I don't trust
00:22:04them.
00:22:04And like,
00:22:05I just don't want
00:22:06to get like,
00:22:09I don't know,
00:22:09my emotions like played
00:22:11with and crushed.
00:22:12So it's better to keep
00:22:13it out of it
00:22:14because they're not worth
00:22:15it unless they are.
00:22:16I think that guys
00:22:20are way more harsh
00:22:21than they've ever
00:22:21been before.
00:22:22I think they think
00:22:23they deserve perfect
00:22:24tens and they're not
00:22:25even, okay,
00:22:26they are not even
00:22:26a ten themselves.
00:22:27That's what I'm saying.
00:22:28And that's what's
00:22:29really messed up.
00:22:30But women are like
00:22:31that too.
00:22:32No.
00:22:32Not nearly as much.
00:22:34Women, they try.
00:22:34I feel like they're
00:22:35like more critical
00:22:36and it gives them
00:22:37unrealistic expectations
00:22:38because you got
00:22:39the bombshell bra on,
00:22:41a face full of makeup,
00:22:42the weave or the wigs
00:22:44or some shit.
00:22:45Yeah.
00:22:45And when all that
00:22:46comes off,
00:22:47then once they see
00:22:48the natural you,
00:22:49then they're not even
00:22:49attracted to you anymore.
00:22:51I feel like for guys
00:22:52like the social media,
00:22:55the dating sites like
00:22:56Tinder and OkCupid,
00:22:57it's like a catalog
00:22:58for them because you
00:22:59have all these girls,
00:23:01hundreds, millions
00:23:01of girls.
00:23:02You have all different
00:23:04red pictures to choose
00:23:05from.
00:23:06Like they can just
00:23:07go through possibilities.
00:23:15So I went on Tinder
00:23:31about a year ago
00:23:32and it became
00:23:35like an easy thing.
00:23:36I'm just like,
00:23:36oh, I'll lay in bed,
00:23:38I'll wake up and
00:23:39it's like a little
00:23:42mini adrenaline rush
00:23:43every time you do it.
00:23:44A common symptom
00:23:45with a lot of the girls
00:23:46I went on dates with
00:23:47was I was the rebound guy.
00:23:50So if I went on a date,
00:23:51it would come out
00:23:52until like a couple
00:23:52weeks later
00:23:53where they would either
00:23:53ghost me
00:23:54or they would just
00:23:55be like,
00:23:57oh, well,
00:23:57this happened
00:23:58and I'm in love
00:24:00with that guy
00:24:00and I just broke up
00:24:01with my boyfriend
00:24:02and then that
00:24:04and then once
00:24:05that happened
00:24:05then they would
00:24:06go away.
00:24:14So after that
00:24:15I kind of wised up
00:24:16to the fact
00:24:18that this might
00:24:18be like a thing.
00:24:20So in the course
00:24:21of my Tinder messaging
00:24:23I might have like
00:24:2420 different text
00:24:25messages going on
00:24:26and each one of those
00:24:28you kind of like
00:24:28keep following
00:24:29and that's the thing
00:24:31that comes into
00:24:31multi-messaging
00:24:32because some women
00:24:33could do it to you
00:24:33or you do it
00:24:34to some women.
00:24:37I think I deleted it
00:24:38and then I re-downloaded it
00:24:39because I was feeling lonely
00:24:41and that's when
00:24:44it kind of like
00:24:45that phrase,
00:24:47you know,
00:24:47when it rains,
00:24:48it pours.
00:24:51It got to the point
00:24:52where I might have
00:24:54this one friends
00:24:55with benefits
00:24:55over here
00:24:56and then I would
00:24:57go on a date
00:24:57with that girl
00:24:58and develop another
00:25:00friends with benefits
00:25:01with that girl
00:25:01and then all of a sudden
00:25:03it became like
00:25:04this girl's Monday
00:25:04that I'll switch that
00:25:06around and like
00:25:07figuring out my schedule
00:25:08for all these
00:25:09different women.
00:25:10There was one bar
00:25:11in particular
00:25:11that would bring
00:25:12some of these women
00:25:13I knew the bartender
00:25:14and he'd be like,
00:25:16hey,
00:25:16is this like
00:25:16a date tonight?
00:25:18I was like,
00:25:18yeah,
00:25:19he's like same girl.
00:25:19I'm like,
00:25:20not exactly.
00:25:23I would find myself
00:25:24walking,
00:25:24like bumping into people
00:25:25and just like right,
00:25:26right,
00:25:26left,
00:25:27right.
00:25:28It's like a little
00:25:28video game.
00:25:36Gamification is
00:25:37turning an experience
00:25:38that is not a game
00:25:39into a game.
00:25:40So giving it
00:25:41all the elements
00:25:41of a game,
00:25:42things like points
00:25:43that say you have
00:25:44done this well.
00:25:45You know,
00:25:45like when you're
00:25:46playing a slot machine,
00:25:47the machine will tell you
00:25:48when you've won
00:25:48with ringing bells
00:25:49and flashing lights
00:25:50and a lot of the apps
00:25:51we use now
00:25:52have elements
00:25:53of that built-in
00:25:53even when they
00:25:54aren't really
00:25:55about games.
00:25:57We've had some
00:25:58of these almost
00:25:58game-like elements
00:26:00where you almost
00:26:00feel like you're
00:26:01being rewarded.
00:26:02It kind of works
00:26:02like a slot machine
00:26:03where you're
00:26:04one,
00:26:05you're excited
00:26:07to see
00:26:08who the next person
00:26:09is or hopefully
00:26:10you're even excited
00:26:11to see,
00:26:12did I get the match
00:26:13and get that
00:26:14it's a match screen
00:26:15and that's
00:26:16a nice little rush.
00:26:17You get a match
00:26:18on Tinder
00:26:18and your screen
00:26:19just pops.
00:26:20It's this huge
00:26:20like visual stimulation.
00:26:22Super bizarre.
00:26:24And that's
00:26:25got to be intentional.
00:26:26Like it feels good.
00:26:27Ooh.
00:26:29You know.
00:26:32I had several classes
00:26:34in college
00:26:35that we learned
00:26:36about this
00:26:37from my business
00:26:37management courses
00:26:38to psych courses.
00:26:40I think if I remember
00:26:41it's called
00:26:41the variable ratio
00:26:43or intermittent
00:26:45reward schedule
00:26:47or something like that.
00:26:49where it is
00:26:50it's the
00:26:51having unpredictable
00:26:54yet frequent
00:26:55rewards
00:26:57is the best way
00:26:58to motivate somebody
00:26:59to keep moving forward.
00:27:02There's a very famous experiment
00:27:03run in the early 1970s
00:27:05with some white pigeons
00:27:06and the pigeons
00:27:07learned to peck
00:27:08a little light
00:27:09and when they pecked
00:27:10they got food.
00:27:11And so these pigeons
00:27:12live in a box
00:27:13and they just keep
00:27:13pecking the light
00:27:14and they get food.
00:27:14but the experimenter
00:27:16had a couple
00:27:16of different ways
00:27:17of rewarding them.
00:27:18So some of them
00:27:19every 10 pecks
00:27:19they got a certain
00:27:20number of food pellets
00:27:21and then they ate
00:27:22and others
00:27:23every 10 pecks
00:27:25sometimes they got food
00:27:26and sometimes they didn't.
00:27:27But it turns out
00:27:28that the pigeons
00:27:28that gambled
00:27:29that effectively pecked
00:27:30but may not get a reward
00:27:31they were the ones
00:27:32who were much more engaged
00:27:34even to the point
00:27:35where they weren't hungry
00:27:35anymore
00:27:36they pecked
00:27:36because it was just
00:27:37fun to play the game.
00:27:38So you know
00:27:39in the same sense
00:27:40these apps
00:27:41that give you
00:27:41this kind of variable feedback
00:27:43rather than consistent
00:27:44predictable feedback
00:27:44they have this built-in mechanism
00:27:47for being addictive
00:27:48in the same way
00:27:48that a gambling device
00:27:49is addictive.
00:27:50There is a good example
00:27:51of how you can move
00:27:52from the pigeon
00:27:55to the human case
00:27:56because one of the
00:27:57one of the schedules
00:27:58which is very effective
00:27:59with rats or pigeons
00:28:00is what we call
00:28:02a variable ratio schedule
00:28:03and that is at the heart
00:28:05of all gambling devices
00:28:07and has the same effect.
00:28:09The pigeon can become
00:28:09a pathological gambler
00:28:11just as a person can.
00:28:21It's a match.
00:28:22It's like
00:28:22Jack was a little surprised.
00:28:25Then you can do more
00:28:26then you get to
00:28:27then you unlock
00:28:28the ability to message them.
00:28:29It's true.
00:28:31And it feels good
00:28:32or you can go back
00:28:33and test your luck again.
00:28:34Yeah, it's true.
00:28:36Man, it's so weird
00:28:37because yeah
00:28:38it really is a game.
00:28:40As someone
00:28:41who is female-bodied
00:28:42I actually don't identify
00:28:43as a woman or girl.
00:28:47I identify as non-binary
00:28:48so I am trans in that way
00:28:51that although my body
00:28:53is assigned female
00:28:54I identify more
00:28:55outside of that.
00:28:56I think there's a lot
00:28:56of pressure
00:28:57when you're using it
00:28:58knowing that like
00:28:59I don't know
00:29:00knowing that like
00:29:01people on there
00:29:02they're like men
00:29:03seeking women
00:29:04and then you're part
00:29:05of a stack of like
00:29:07women
00:29:07and that people
00:29:08like the guys
00:29:10that you might want
00:29:11to date
00:29:11like date
00:29:12stereotypically feminine
00:29:14like gender role
00:29:16conforming people
00:29:17and there's a lot
00:29:18of pressure.
00:29:18Oh my god
00:29:19when people's profiles
00:29:20when they're like
00:29:22like I don't like
00:29:24I don't fuck
00:29:24with crazy bitches
00:29:25or something
00:29:26or it's like
00:29:27If you're not trying to fuck
00:29:28swipe left
00:29:29and I'm like
00:29:30not trying to fuck
00:29:31We all know why we're here
00:29:32it's like but you don't
00:29:33know me
00:29:34yeah like trying to be
00:29:35like the cool
00:29:36like yeah I'm kind of
00:29:38like I'm like bad
00:29:39hookup sex is bad
00:29:41and um
00:29:42for me personally
00:29:44like there
00:29:44there has to be
00:29:46more intimacy
00:29:47to sex
00:29:48it can't
00:29:49you know
00:29:50there has to be
00:29:50this connection
00:29:51there has to be
00:29:52this thing
00:29:53that I think
00:29:53is really cool
00:29:54about the other person
00:29:55and you don't get that
00:29:57when you talked
00:29:59on tinder for a day
00:30:00they're like
00:30:01oh why don't you
00:30:02come over
00:30:03like we'll smoke
00:30:04like we can sit
00:30:06on my bed
00:30:07and like listen
00:30:08to records
00:30:08I'm like okay
00:30:09that's bullshit
00:30:10but like whatever
00:30:11like okay
00:30:12I know what this is
00:30:13and you show up
00:30:14and it's uncomfortable
00:30:15you kind of go in
00:30:17with this understanding
00:30:18and I think a lot
00:30:18of people go into
00:30:20these situations
00:30:20kind of feeling
00:30:21obligated to
00:30:22I know that's
00:30:23something that I
00:30:24feel a lot
00:30:25where you're going
00:30:26over and it
00:30:27doesn't really matter
00:30:27if you're in the mood
00:30:28that day or not
00:30:29because you're going
00:30:30over like to have
00:30:31sex and you never
00:30:33have enough time
00:30:34to establish
00:30:35some chemistry
00:30:36you just like
00:30:37start making out
00:30:39and then like
00:30:40you have this
00:30:41sex where they
00:30:43and it's always
00:30:44you know like
00:30:45it's typically
00:30:46first encounters
00:30:47unless you see
00:30:48this person
00:30:48as a hookup
00:30:49regularly afterwards
00:30:50but like
00:30:51they don't know
00:30:52what you like
00:30:53you don't know
00:30:53what they like
00:30:54they're doing something
00:30:55and you're like
00:30:56that's kind of weird
00:30:57and I'm sure
00:30:58I do the same
00:30:59thing for them
00:31:00and
00:31:01yeah
00:31:03yeah
00:31:05the dating apps
00:31:09how they play
00:31:11into the sexual
00:31:12compulsive behavior
00:31:13and the sex addiction
00:31:14is because of
00:31:15the accessibility
00:31:16of so many partners
00:31:18at any given moment
00:31:19I think compulsive
00:31:20behavior is really
00:31:21about the high
00:31:22not about a pleasure
00:31:23it's two different
00:31:24things isn't it
00:31:25to employ
00:31:26with pleasure
00:31:26it really
00:31:27you kind of need
00:31:29to connect
00:31:29with your
00:31:30with yourself
00:31:31and to be connected
00:31:33and present
00:31:33with yourself
00:31:34and it really involves
00:31:35real connection
00:31:36on some level
00:31:37with yourself
00:31:38and another
00:31:39I've always been
00:31:45clear with what
00:31:46I've wanted
00:31:46on those dating apps
00:31:48and I've gotten
00:31:49what I've wanted
00:31:50and again
00:31:52I feel like
00:31:53that's made me
00:31:54a stronger person
00:31:54being able to say
00:31:55this is what I want
00:31:56this is what I don't
00:31:57for the most part
00:31:58people have
00:31:59extremely respected
00:32:00what I've told them
00:32:01and maybe that's
00:32:02because a lot of the
00:32:03time I was saying
00:32:04I want casual sex
00:32:05and guys were like
00:32:07yeah
00:32:08I'm okay with that
00:32:09but I don't know
00:32:10if you know
00:32:11if you're not clear
00:32:13with what you want
00:32:13you're not going to
00:32:14get what you want
00:32:15I think
00:32:16it's not good
00:32:18to generalize
00:32:19but we do see
00:32:22in the data
00:32:22differences
00:32:23in the way
00:32:23that men
00:32:24and women
00:32:24use these services
00:32:25in the way
00:32:26of how selective
00:32:26they are
00:32:27in the way
00:32:28that they reflect
00:32:29their intentions
00:32:29for what they're
00:32:30looking for
00:32:30it's just
00:32:30true that men
00:32:32and women
00:32:33taken as groups
00:32:35think about
00:32:35these things differently
00:32:36that doesn't mean
00:32:37all men
00:32:38are looking for
00:32:38a hookup
00:32:39it doesn't mean
00:32:39all women
00:32:40are looking
00:32:40for a relationship
00:32:41but on the whole
00:32:43a majority of women
00:32:44are looking
00:32:45pretty much exclusively
00:32:46for a relationship
00:32:47on these services
00:32:47and a majority
00:32:49of the men
00:32:49are primarily
00:32:51looking to hookup
00:32:52and you can say
00:32:53that that isn't
00:32:55so different
00:32:56than just like
00:32:56society at large
00:32:58but I do think
00:32:59the way that
00:33:00these services
00:33:00are designed
00:33:01sort of like
00:33:02tips the scale
00:33:02and culture
00:33:03towards hookups
00:33:04and sort of
00:33:06gives men
00:33:07or gives those
00:33:08looking for hookups
00:33:09the upper hand
00:33:10essentially
00:33:11in this new world
00:33:12and at 4am
00:33:13I got a text message
00:33:15that went
00:33:17something like
00:33:19hey you
00:33:21wake up
00:33:22time to come
00:33:23sit on my face
00:33:24now
00:33:25are you looking
00:33:27for me
00:33:29I'm looking
00:33:31for someone
00:33:32where can you be
00:33:35someone
00:33:36hi I'm Maurice
00:33:37I'm an executive
00:33:38by day
00:33:39and a wild man
00:33:40by night
00:33:40I'm looking
00:33:41for the goddess
00:33:42are you the goddess
00:33:43who is the goddess
00:33:45the goddess
00:33:46is the woman
00:33:47is a woman
00:33:48is any woman
00:33:49but what I'm not
00:33:50looking for
00:33:51is some big
00:33:53overgrown monster
00:33:54that's always
00:33:55thinking about food
00:33:56a figure that is
00:33:57sexy
00:33:58slim
00:33:58tight
00:33:59excellent legs
00:34:00if you think
00:34:03if you think of
00:34:03courtship
00:34:03as something
00:34:04that has always
00:34:05existed
00:34:05what's really
00:34:07new about
00:34:07dating
00:34:08is that it
00:34:08takes courtship
00:34:09away from
00:34:10private spaces
00:34:11sort of away
00:34:12from the home
00:34:13away from family
00:34:14and explicitly
00:34:15puts it in
00:34:16market spaces
00:34:17so it puts it
00:34:18in places
00:34:19where people
00:34:20spend money
00:34:20and consume
00:34:21and I would
00:34:22argue that
00:34:23in a way
00:34:23maybe is the
00:34:24most distinctive
00:34:24change
00:34:25and that means
00:34:26that from 1900
00:34:27onward
00:34:28or from the
00:34:28invention of
00:34:29dating onward
00:34:30dating is
00:34:31shaped by
00:34:32market dynamics
00:34:33to me
00:34:34the real
00:34:35turning point
00:34:35or watershed
00:34:36is when you
00:34:37start having
00:34:37mobile dating apps
00:34:38so that everyone
00:34:39has it on their
00:34:39phones
00:34:40the effect of
00:34:41mobile dating apps
00:34:42is to feel like
00:34:42we can be dating
00:34:43all the time
00:34:44and that you
00:34:45should always be
00:34:45putting yourself
00:34:46out there
00:34:47always kind of
00:34:48promoting your
00:34:49product
00:34:49and I think
00:34:50that also takes
00:34:50away from the
00:34:51ability to just
00:34:51relax and enjoy
00:34:52because it's
00:34:53hard work
00:34:54that self
00:34:55presentation
00:34:55stuff
00:34:56which we all
00:34:56have to do
00:34:57when we're
00:34:57using dating
00:34:58apps
00:34:58and online
00:34:59dating
00:35:00it's all
00:35:00self presentation
00:35:01it's all
00:35:01self work
00:35:02it's all
00:35:02self consciousness
00:35:03it's all
00:35:04performing
00:35:05and when you
00:35:06go on lots
00:35:06of dates
00:35:07you have to do
00:35:07that again
00:35:08and again
00:35:08and again
00:35:09and again
00:35:09I usually
00:35:10delete it
00:35:10after I've
00:35:11been on
00:35:11a few bad
00:35:12dates
00:35:13or I'm
00:35:13just sick
00:35:14of constantly
00:35:15getting messages
00:35:16from people
00:35:16I'm over
00:35:17weeding
00:35:18through all
00:35:19of this
00:35:20bullshit
00:35:20that I get
00:35:21those hundreds
00:35:22of messages
00:35:23a day
00:35:23I'm like
00:35:24this is
00:35:24exhausting
00:35:24this is
00:35:25taking a lot
00:35:26of effort
00:35:26it's taking
00:35:27a lot
00:35:27of time
00:35:28this is
00:35:28actually
00:35:29like work
00:35:29right now
00:35:30just in like
00:35:31economic terms
00:35:32if you have
00:35:33a surplus
00:35:33of options
00:35:34then the value
00:35:35goes down
00:35:36I could see
00:35:37a Tinder profile
00:35:38that I'm like
00:35:39excited about
00:35:40if I met that
00:35:41person in real life
00:35:41I would have
00:35:42this like
00:35:42sense of urgency
00:35:43but I think
00:35:44on Tinder
00:35:44if I see
00:35:45that profile
00:35:45well then
00:35:46I just swipe
00:35:46one way or another
00:35:47I'm just swiping
00:35:48and then there's
00:35:49somebody else
00:35:50immediately
00:35:50you know
00:35:52it is this
00:35:53application
00:35:54of the logic
00:35:55of consumer
00:35:56capitalism
00:35:56to private
00:35:57life
00:35:57and this
00:35:58sort of
00:35:59way that
00:35:59romantic
00:35:59and sexual
00:36:00desire
00:36:00used almost
00:36:01as like
00:36:02a lure
00:36:02to get you
00:36:02to keep
00:36:03consuming
00:36:04maybe we don't
00:36:05think of it
00:36:05as part of the
00:36:06economy
00:36:06because a lot
00:36:06of apps
00:36:07are free
00:36:07but what
00:36:08you're doing
00:36:09when you
00:36:09swipe and swipe
00:36:11you know
00:36:11swipe up
00:36:12and super
00:36:12like
00:36:13or whatever
00:36:13it is
00:36:14is
00:36:14you are
00:36:15providing valuable
00:36:16data
00:36:16to IAC
00:36:18in that case
00:36:18or to whatever
00:36:19corporation owns
00:36:20owns the app
00:36:22in question
00:36:23the quicker
00:36:27that you can go
00:36:28from A to B
00:36:29the more people
00:36:30are going to use
00:36:31that service
00:36:31and that's how
00:36:32they make money
00:36:33so if they can
00:36:34help you get laid
00:36:35quicker
00:36:35by you paying
00:36:36for some feature
00:36:37that allows you
00:36:38to engage
00:36:38with someone
00:36:38more or faster
00:36:39with a better
00:36:40emoji
00:36:41whatever
00:36:41that's how
00:36:42they're going
00:36:42to make money
00:36:43and so
00:36:43the thing
00:36:45that's so frustrating
00:36:46is when you
00:36:46you hear
00:36:47these dating apps
00:36:47talk about
00:36:48well

00:37:32who met via Tinder
00:37:32some people do use it
00:37:35to have more
00:37:36casual relationships
00:37:37I mean it is used
00:37:38that way as well
00:37:39certainly
00:37:40people meet people
00:37:41at church
00:37:41or meet people
00:37:42at their schools
00:37:45and they have
00:37:46casual relationships
00:37:46with them as well
00:37:47it's meeting
00:37:48you can meet somebody
00:37:49in any context
00:37:50and have a casual
00:37:50relationship with them
00:37:51that's why they can't get a relationship
00:38:14we're finding out
00:38:15we're helping y'all
00:38:16but you know what
00:38:17this old man
00:38:18he told me
00:38:19he said
00:38:19the fruit
00:38:20on the top
00:38:22of the tree
00:38:22is the best
00:38:23freshest fruit
00:38:25he said
00:38:25you always want
00:38:27to have to reach
00:38:28to get what you want
00:38:29he said
00:38:30the fruit
00:38:31at your foot
00:38:32on the ground
00:38:33you don't want that
00:38:34the fruit
00:38:35that's throwing itself
00:38:36at you
00:38:36leave it alone
00:38:38am I telling the truth
00:38:39hello
00:38:40I think
00:38:43people
00:38:44older people
00:38:45like their 50s
00:38:46and 40s
00:38:46they don't really get
00:38:47what it means to date now
00:38:49and they kind of
00:38:49don't understand
00:38:50like of course
00:38:51we want to like
00:38:52get married
00:38:53and have kids
00:38:53and stuff
00:38:54but it's not that
00:38:55you can't get yourself
00:38:56pregnant
00:38:56and marry yourself
00:38:58I don't know
00:38:58what y'all problem is
00:39:00because I've never
00:39:01had a problem
00:39:01we didn't have social media
00:39:03right
00:39:03and we had to go out
00:39:05we had to meet people
00:39:06we went to games
00:39:07parties
00:39:08and you know
00:39:10guys wanted to date you
00:39:12they wasn't like
00:39:13oh I want to date you
00:39:14you you you and you
00:39:15I think the social media
00:39:18is an issue
00:39:19because like
00:39:21when I was coming up
00:39:22you had to actually
00:39:24get out to socialize
00:39:25in person
00:39:26where here you can go
00:39:28on Facebook
00:39:29and the Snapchat
00:39:30or whatever that is
00:39:31Twitter
00:39:32and so I see a lot
00:39:34of their interactions
00:39:35is through
00:39:36devices
00:39:37as opposed to
00:39:39social interacting

00:41:28because of a dating app
00:41:29but dating is also changing
00:41:30because of the internet
00:41:31I have a friend
00:41:31that once said to me
00:41:32the entire internet
00:41:33is a dating app
00:41:34because you know
00:41:35there are things
00:41:36that you do

00:41:54and they're liking
00:41:55all your stuff

00:42:08say he's cute
00:42:09so you go through
00:42:10you like some of his pictures
00:42:12but you have to be
00:42:12very smart about
00:42:13which pictures you like
00:42:14though
00:42:14then it has to be
00:42:16spaced out
00:42:17at like a good increment
00:42:18do your research
00:42:19make sure he doesn't
00:42:20have a girlfriend
00:42:20tag photos
00:42:21always go through
00:42:22his tag photos
00:42:23tag photos
00:42:24let you know
00:42:24everything about somebody

00:42:28about someone
00:42:29who he's around
00:42:30what he really gets into
00:42:33things like that
00:42:34so after that
00:42:36you follow him
00:42:37so you let that go by
00:42:39he'll usually follow you back
00:42:40because I mean
00:42:41we're all bad as fuck
00:42:42so most people
00:42:43follow us back
00:42:44and then that's when
00:42:45the game really starts
00:42:45so that's when you play
00:42:47like this mind game
00:42:48with each other
00:42:48and you're like
00:42:49for a few days
00:42:49you're liking each other's pictures
00:42:51doing these little comments
00:42:52and things like that
00:42:53and heart eyes
00:42:55and like
00:42:55you do the little eye emojis
00:42:57there's two different eye emojis
00:42:58there's like the small ones
00:42:59and there's like
00:43:00the individual eye emojis
00:43:01and then
00:43:03by like day five
00:43:05maybe less
00:43:07you wake up
00:43:09and he's in your DMs
00:43:10he DM'd you
00:43:11yes
00:43:11and at that point
00:43:13you start chit chatting
00:43:15and it's like
00:43:15hey
00:43:16you know
00:43:16blah blah blah
00:43:17then you get the number
00:43:18so you start texting

00:43:22I'm gonna see you at this move
00:43:23you link up at the move
00:43:25catch the twerk real quick
00:43:27and then that's that
00:43:28and then it is
00:43:30men in New York
00:43:30stress me out so much
00:43:32they stress me out
00:43:33this is why
00:43:34I don't have a boyfriend
00:43:35guys will have
00:43:36one girlfriend
00:43:37per network
00:43:38yep

00:44:02you never know
00:44:03he could have her number
00:44:04saved under Papa John's
00:44:05how to catch your man cheating
00:44:07a savvy cheater may be using less obvious ways to communicate with the person they're cheating with
00:44:13for example Instagram messages, Twitter direct messages or snaps on Snapchat
00:44:18you can't trust anyone these days
00:44:20it's sad but true
00:44:21I like bagged this one dude at this function and then like he kept messaging me on Snapchat
00:44:26like come to Queens or I'm trying to see you or blah blah blah
00:44:30but I found his Instagram
00:44:31I'm just I was on it that evening
00:44:33I found it in like 15 minutes
00:44:35and he has a whole ass girlfriend
00:44:37and then there was another occasion with a dude that I was actually like talking to and hooking up with
00:44:42who had an entire relationship as well
00:44:44and I didn't know until I went through his tagged photos on Instagram
00:44:47and this is one recurring like recurring thing that I've dealt with for the last three years
00:44:51you have type one
00:44:53the dude who literally has his girl in like half of his photos
00:44:56and is like my girl is my everything
00:44:58I love this woman
00:44:59very passionate romantic
00:45:00and he'll be the first one in your DMs begging you to come to his house
00:45:04at an ungodly hour trying to smoke you out
00:45:06buy you drinks
00:45:07have sex with you
00:45:08with his girlfriend stuff all over his apartment
00:45:10but he's so in love with her on social media
00:45:12it's like my first time really getting my heart broken
00:45:15I'm like it's all coming back
00:45:16because it's like
00:45:17it happened for the first time like last year
00:45:19when it first happened
00:45:21I like
00:45:21that's the most I cried ever
00:45:24but like I've never felt that low
00:45:28in my entire life
00:45:29ever
00:45:30I feel like he treated me like I was an object almost
00:45:37this one sounds so lame
00:45:39it reminded me of like Nora from a doll's house
00:45:42like
00:45:43I was this
00:45:45trophy girlfriend
00:45:48with the cool clothes
00:45:51and a lot of followers on Instagram
00:45:53and I was a trendy DJ
00:45:55and I was just cool to be with
00:45:57but I don't think he genuinely
00:45:59really really wanted me
00:46:02when I was I was a kid like
00:46:17Sharon Stone you know in 1995
00:46:20would be just like up on a pedestal
00:46:22and so inaccessible to me
00:46:23and now the current ver-
00:46:25you know the current version of that
00:46:26is like okay she's just uh
00:46:27she's just a swipe away
00:46:28or she's just a message away
00:46:29so Instagram is full of beautiful women
00:46:31pretty girls
00:46:32poppin' celebrities
00:46:33and a lot of you guys are like
00:46:35hey let me shoot my shot
00:46:36but don't know how to do it
00:46:38rise and shine you cock knobs
00:46:39I'm teaching you how to slide into DMs
00:46:41which just means directly messaging someone
00:46:43trying to get their phone number
00:46:44and or trying to get their genitals
00:46:46smashed up against yours
00:46:47after a couple of drinks
00:46:48historically men who did have
00:46:52a lot of sexual access to women
00:46:53tended to be higher in status
00:46:56what you have is what I call
00:46:58Clark Kent syndrome
00:46:59you have these guys
00:47:01who may be mild-mannered in real life
00:47:04but doesn't everybody want to be Superman
00:47:06and this culture allows these guys
00:47:11who may their whole lives feel insignificant
00:47:14and you know certainly I'm not saying
00:47:16all of them feel this way
00:47:17to feel powerful
00:47:19and what's the most powerful situation
00:47:21is being aggressive
00:47:24especially sexually aggressive
00:47:25I just got a dick pic the other night
00:47:27from like my friend's baby's daddy
00:47:30exactly any guy will send you
00:47:31any stupid shit on there
00:47:32that's what I'm saying
00:47:33when you get a dick pic
00:47:34that like you are not requesting
00:47:36honestly it's like a violation
00:47:37like if I'm refusing
00:47:38to see your penis in real life
00:47:41I don't want to see it
00:47:42in a digital version
00:47:44we're about to see it
00:47:45is this the line?
00:47:51oh no
00:47:51oh is that the line?
00:47:54he's like hitting me with dick
00:47:55he's smacking you with dick
00:47:57ew
00:47:58so enter Bumble
00:48:05what is Bumble
00:48:06and how does it strive to
00:48:07actually tackle this
00:48:09this broken system of heteronormativity
00:48:11well if you think about the way
00:48:14in which men and women
00:48:15generally connect
00:48:17or the way that they're raised to connect
00:48:19starting at a very young age
00:48:20boys are taught to be
00:48:23the aggressor
00:48:24go get her
00:48:25Bumble looks at that dynamic
00:48:27and says you know what
00:48:28only women are going to make
00:48:29the first move
00:48:29and why?
00:48:31why are we going to do that?
00:48:32because women can't have a voice
00:48:34they are allowed to make the first move
00:48:36they are allowed to go after what they want
00:48:37and in turn it takes all this pressure
00:48:39and this insecure reactive
00:48:42you know aggression
00:48:43away from the masculine side
00:48:46because now the woman reaches out
00:48:48you've just solved half of
00:48:50half of this predisposed problem
00:48:53he doesn't have to be geared up
00:48:56to react
00:48:57to the rejection
00:48:58right
00:48:59so you've taken away the rejection
00:49:01and you've replaced it with flattery
00:49:03so there's this idea that Bumble
00:49:05somehow fixes the mistakes
00:49:06that Tinder has made
00:49:07I honestly don't see
00:49:09how it does that
00:49:11now the rule is
00:49:11oh the man doesn't have to lift a finger
00:49:13to even type you out
00:49:14a three word message
00:49:15because he's not allowed to
00:49:16so once again
00:49:18like women are shouldering
00:49:19so much more of the burden
00:49:21of dating
00:49:22the communication work
00:49:23the emotions work
00:49:24all that stuff
00:49:25the admin
00:49:26Bumble is just codifying
00:49:28that women have to do more work
00:49:30no
00:49:31no
00:49:32okay
00:49:32yeah
00:49:33there you go
00:49:35there's a match
00:49:35I said I'm only in Brooklyn

00:51:52no I would
00:51:52I would do her
00:51:53we like
00:51:54big boobs
00:51:55if you look
00:51:58at our previous generation
00:51:59or the generation before
00:52:00it's like
00:52:00you meet someone
00:52:02in your hometown
00:52:02you date them
00:52:04you're like your high school
00:52:05sweetheart
00:52:05you date them
00:52:06and that's the only person
00:52:07that you've really been with
00:52:08and that kind of monogamy
00:52:11is like super scary
00:52:12it can go on
00:52:13for like 60 years
00:52:14in like a vanilla
00:52:15type of existence
00:52:18and it's super bland
00:52:20and then you die
00:52:21so
00:52:21praising
00:52:23the whole swiping
00:52:25fad that's going on now
00:52:27is it introduces you
00:52:28to people that you may
00:52:29never have crossed paths with
00:52:30could we see each other
00:52:31doing this forever
00:52:32I don't know
00:52:33I mean definitely
00:52:36not past 60
00:52:37not past 60
00:52:40I mean I was thinking
00:52:41like not past
00:52:42I'm 27
00:52:44so not past 30
00:52:46oh okay
00:52:48one thing we do know
00:53:05is that with the rise
00:53:06of the internet
00:53:06many people that
00:53:07previously had a hard time
00:53:09connecting
00:53:09can now find someone else
00:53:11so for instance
00:53:12in our data
00:53:13where we know
00:53:13that over a third
00:53:14of people have met
00:53:15someone through the internet
00:53:16that number is even higher
00:53:18for gay men
00:53:19and lesbian women
00:53:20and if you think about it
00:53:21in many places
00:53:23it might be easy enough
00:53:24for a gay man
00:53:25or a lesbian woman
00:53:26to meet someone to date
00:53:27but in many places
00:53:29throughout the United States
00:53:30it might not be that easy
00:53:31if you're talking about
00:53:32a population
00:53:33that is a minority group
00:53:34in this case
00:53:35a sexual minority group
00:53:37you then have to find
00:53:38someone else
00:53:39that meets the same criteria
00:53:41and that might be
00:53:41kind of hard
00:53:42and on top of that
00:53:44in many places
00:53:45in the US
00:53:45it still might not be
00:53:47all that safe
00:53:48for a gay man
00:53:48or a lesbian woman
00:53:49to walk into a bar
00:53:50and try and pick someone up
00:53:52so the internet
00:53:53has allowed people
00:53:54of so many different
00:53:55walks of life
00:53:56to find each other
00:53:58to connect with each other
00:53:59and possibly start dating
00:54:02and have a relationship
00:54:03we met on Grindr
00:54:05when he first moved here
00:54:06explain Grindr
00:54:07Grindr is a gay dating app
00:54:09mostly used for sex
00:54:10it's a grid
00:54:12it's a grid
00:54:12of pictures
00:54:13of guys
00:54:14in your area
00:54:15ranked by
00:54:16how close they are
00:54:17and lots of torsos
00:54:20I don't know
00:54:20whenever you told
00:54:21straight people
00:54:22about Grindr
00:54:22two years ago
00:54:23I mean they were like
00:54:24wow crazy
00:54:26like do you do that
00:54:26all the time
00:54:27you're like
00:54:27no
00:54:28but it is a thing
00:54:29because
00:54:29it's harder for us
00:54:31to meet people
00:54:31I don't know
00:54:31it's so funny
00:54:32because men
00:54:32that label themselves
00:54:33as straight
00:54:34and then they just put
00:54:35like a headless torso
00:54:36and they're like
00:54:37oh I'm on the DL
00:54:38but I'm like
00:54:38are you really
00:54:39if you're on this app
00:54:40and then there's people
00:54:41on Grindr
00:54:42who are like
00:54:42anon
00:54:43like they don't
00:54:43show their face
00:54:44they don't want
00:54:45to know a name
00:54:45they just want
00:54:46like you'll get
00:54:47those messages
00:54:47that are like
00:54:48uh
00:54:49depending on
00:54:51if you're the top
00:54:52or the bottom
00:54:53it's like
00:54:54you can just walk in
00:54:55and I'll be like
00:54:56blindfolded on all fours
00:54:57and you just
00:54:58fuck me
00:54:58and then leave
00:54:59I had a couple of friends
00:55:00who would get just
00:55:01almost zombified
00:55:03looking at the phone
00:55:05or checking for a hookup
00:55:06or trying to
00:55:08make something happen
00:55:09even when we were
00:55:11all out together
00:55:12so it started to change
00:55:14the gay clubs
00:55:14because we'd all be there
00:55:16and half the people
00:55:16were just looking
00:55:17at their phone
00:55:17and you thought
00:55:20well
00:55:20but we're all already
00:55:22at the dance
00:55:24you know
00:55:24I think Grindr's
00:55:26a new way of hiding
00:55:27honestly
00:55:28because it's like
00:55:28people are still
00:55:29hooking up all the time
00:55:30but now they're like
00:55:31doing it like
00:55:31they're sneaking into
00:55:32your apartment building
00:55:33or whatever
00:55:33it's like this kind
00:55:34of respectability politics
00:55:36almost
00:55:36it's not like people
00:55:37they think
00:55:38they think
00:55:38we're like
00:55:39we don't have to cruise
00:55:40anymore so we shouldn't
00:55:41because we can just
00:55:42go on Grindr
00:55:42why would you want to
00:55:43cruise when you
00:55:43can go on Grindr
00:55:44it's like
00:55:44well because cruising
00:55:45is hot
00:55:46it's fun
00:55:46it's part of our
00:55:48history
00:55:48it's part of our
00:55:49culture
00:55:49and it's
00:55:50I feel like it's
00:55:51really popular
00:55:51to still like
00:55:52stigmatize
00:55:53Grindr
00:55:53and everything
00:55:54and being like
00:55:55only like nasty
00:55:56people use that
00:55:56like I would never
00:55:57do it
00:55:58but then they go home
00:55:59and then they use it
00:56:00and it's like
00:56:01that's what they do
00:56:02that's how they get laid
00:56:03the profile says
00:56:03like I hate this app
00:56:04knowing that there's
00:56:08that technology there
00:56:09like if I see a cute
00:56:10guy in the bar
00:56:11I'm gonna immediately
00:56:11get on like Grindr
00:56:12or Scruff
00:56:13and be like
00:56:13well is he on it
00:56:14because I can just
00:56:15like say hi there
00:56:16or like just
00:56:17woof at him there
00:56:17and then maybe
00:56:18he'll check it
00:56:20and see me
00:56:21across the bar
00:56:21I know everything
00:56:23changes
00:56:24and I'm acceptable
00:56:25to change
00:56:25but there's parts
00:56:27of it that are like
00:56:28oh it's the future
00:56:30and there's part of it
00:56:31it's like
00:56:31that's ridiculous
00:56:32like the amount
00:56:34of times I've lost
00:56:35with my friends
00:56:36just because they're
00:56:37on their cell phone
00:56:37the entire time
00:56:38and I can't tell you
00:56:40how many dates
00:56:40I've been on with girls
00:56:41that are on their cell phone
00:56:43the entire time
00:56:43I've been on a date
00:56:45with a girl
00:56:45she was talking
00:56:46to this dude
00:56:47she was kind of
00:56:48stringing along
00:56:48while we were going
00:56:50on our first couple
00:56:50dates
00:56:51because I've met
00:56:53girls that they're
00:56:54so involved
00:56:56with what they look
00:56:56like on the internet
00:56:57or like spend
00:56:59so much time
00:56:59on making this
00:57:00image of themselves
00:57:01and they worry
00:57:02about more internet
00:57:03shit than like
00:57:04real life
00:57:05I've thought about that
00:57:33when I like hook up
00:57:33with people
00:57:34I'm just like
00:57:34do I look sexy
00:57:35right now
00:57:35I'm like
00:57:36do I look like
00:57:36appealing
00:57:37do I look
00:57:38do I look good
00:57:39does my face look weird
00:57:40from their angle
00:57:42does
00:57:43like
00:57:44is
00:57:45is my hair
00:57:46like cascading out
00:57:47right behind me
00:57:48like all this stuff
00:57:49and I'm just like
00:57:50this is
00:57:50and because of that
00:57:52obviously I just get
00:57:53like super removed
00:57:54from the moment
00:57:54which is probably
00:57:55a big reason
00:57:55why I don't enjoy
00:57:56like doing sexual stuff
00:57:57with people
00:57:58because I'm so caught up
00:57:59in how I look
00:57:59and then I'm also
00:58:00caught up
00:58:00in how they look
00:58:01Alex
00:58:04the guy
00:58:05that I just started
00:58:06dating
00:58:07I guess
00:58:08that's so weird
00:58:09to say out loud
00:58:10he left his leftovers
00:58:11in my fridge
00:58:11so I'm here
00:58:13to drop them off
00:58:14I do love the emoji
00:58:16where it looks like
00:58:16you're smiling
00:58:17with all your teeth
00:58:18I send that one a lot
00:58:19I've sent him that
00:58:21a couple times
00:58:21to some people
00:58:22that I love
00:58:22I'll just send
00:58:23like a row of emojis
00:58:24that's like
00:58:25a sunflower
00:58:26and a bouquet of flowers
00:58:27and then a star
00:58:28and a sparkly thing
00:58:29and then a pink heart
00:58:29and then a yellow heart
00:58:30and then a blue heart
00:58:31and then they know
00:58:33exactly what I'm saying
00:58:33so that's great
00:58:35hello
00:58:36how are you
00:58:38good
00:58:39this is yours
00:58:40oh thank you
00:58:41you're so welcome
00:58:42how are you
00:58:43good to see you too
00:58:44oh
00:58:44how was your shift
00:58:46really slow
00:58:47yeah
00:58:48yeah
00:58:48I hope this isn't
00:58:49terrible now
00:58:50yeah I hope so too
00:58:51but it's okay
00:58:51if it's wilted
00:58:53and frozen
00:58:53I might throw it away
00:58:54though
00:58:54that's okay
00:58:55he sent me a text
00:58:56with a heart emoji
00:58:58and then a smiley face
00:58:59and then another heart emoji
00:59:01which like
00:59:01it was just really cute
00:59:03because that never happens
00:59:04because for some reason
00:59:05boys don't like to use emojis
00:59:07see
00:59:07I'm telling you
00:59:09like full hearts
00:59:10not heart eyes
00:59:10wild right
00:59:12what a concept
00:59:13I feel like that's been a big switch too
00:59:26like I feel like back in like
00:59:28like the 90s and the 80s
00:59:30it was all about like
00:59:31who could kind of show more
00:59:33like
00:59:34like back then
00:59:35you have people like
00:59:36serenading people
00:59:37like showing up
00:59:38outside of windows
00:59:39with boom boxes
00:59:40or like bringing people flowers
00:59:41like huge ridiculous
00:59:43things of flowers
00:59:44like out in public
00:59:45I feel like it's definitely
00:59:46way not like casual
00:59:47but way more like
00:59:48nonchalant
00:59:49nowadays
00:59:50like it's almost like
00:59:51you don't want to seem
00:59:52like you care
00:59:53what if you do care
00:59:54and you have to not show it
00:59:56like that sucks
00:59:57like if you do really care
00:59:58but you're like trying to not show it
00:59:59I feel like that kind of sucks
01:00:00yeah I guess
01:00:03I mean I don't
01:00:04I don't know
01:00:06I've never experienced
01:00:07something where I care so bad
01:00:09that I have to hide
01:00:10my care
01:00:12definitely with technology
01:00:30progressing more and more
01:00:32it's kind of like
01:00:33that awkward stage
01:00:35in generations
01:00:36where it's like
01:00:37do you just
01:00:38do technology
01:00:39to meet people
01:00:40or do you actually
01:00:41go out and have experiences
01:00:42it's kind of at the point
01:00:44where it's like
01:00:45alright you know
01:00:46let's slide in those DMs
01:00:48or let's
01:00:48let's hit up Tinder

01:01:52we went to a different party
01:01:53yeah
01:01:54I hooked up with two girls
01:01:55at the same party
01:01:56it's wild
01:01:57do you guys watch a lot of porn?
01:02:02he watches porn
01:02:02he watches porn
01:02:03he watches porn
01:02:03he watches porn
01:02:04I don't watch porn
01:02:05porn feeds into all of it
01:02:12porn feeds into sexual expectation
01:02:14the reason why
01:02:16the reason why blaming porn
01:02:17the reason why blaming porn
01:02:18is because
01:02:19because the internet
01:02:20has become such an integral part
01:02:22of just existing on this planet
01:02:25and we've had internet access
01:02:26as very young children
01:02:27porn has been cultivated
01:02:28I was in sports of porn
01:02:29before the internet
01:02:30I was about to say
01:02:31I don't know
01:02:32it opens your mind up
01:02:33I was about to say
01:02:33porn teaches you things
01:02:34porn can teach you
01:02:35because even though
01:02:36some things you might feel
01:02:37like it's wrong
01:02:38the older you get
01:02:38the more sex you have
01:02:39some of the shit
01:02:40that you like in porn
01:02:41like choking
01:02:41and getting choked
01:02:42is real
01:02:43it's not just a
01:02:44some of us like that shit
01:02:45yeah
01:02:45as far as the sexual expectation
01:02:49I feel like porn
01:02:50makes a lot of guys
01:02:51particularly
01:02:52like they don't know
01:02:53the female body at all
01:02:54they don't understand
01:02:55how to make a woman orgasm
01:02:56and they look more
01:02:58at like
01:02:59because when you watch
01:03:00like usual porn
01:03:01it's like
01:03:01the girls usually
01:03:02getting gagged
01:03:03or something
01:03:03or like
01:03:04it's all about
01:03:05choke out
01:03:06it's all about
01:03:06the male's pleasure
01:03:07you don't really see
01:03:08anything with the female
01:03:09unless it's like
01:03:09a lesbian
01:03:10what really shocked me
01:03:12about internet pornography
01:03:13the first time I saw it
01:03:14was the fact that
01:03:15the pornographers
01:03:17consistently framed
01:03:19these regular old
01:03:22vanilla sex acts
01:03:23that everybody does
01:03:24sometimes
01:03:24as a form of
01:03:26humiliation
01:03:27for the women
01:03:28involved
01:03:29it's not about
01:03:30their orgasm
01:03:31except as
01:03:32it's sexy
01:03:33that it happens
01:03:34to always be
01:03:34a function
01:03:35of the male
01:03:36ejaculation
01:03:37or the male
01:03:38pounding
01:03:39or whatever
01:03:39in every mainstream
01:03:40porn gallery
01:03:41on the web
01:03:42we can find
01:03:43the rape category
01:03:44side by side
01:03:46with the
01:03:46humiliation category
01:03:47abuse category
01:03:49crying category
01:03:50and so on
01:03:51with porn
01:03:53people get flooded
01:03:54with images
01:03:55then when they do
01:03:56meet people
01:03:57on the apps
01:03:58they expect
01:03:59the same kind
01:04:00of interaction
01:04:01and in fact
01:04:01they're not really
01:04:02having sex
01:04:03with the person
01:04:04in front of them
01:04:04very often
01:04:05they might have sex
01:04:07playing out the images
01:04:08in their head
01:04:08like ejaculating
01:04:10on a woman's face
01:04:11is not a naturally
01:04:12like thrilling
01:04:13attractive thing to do
01:04:14until you see it
01:04:15in pornography
01:04:16and you're like
01:04:16that looks awesome
01:04:17I'm gonna do that
01:04:17like guys get addicted
01:04:19to it
01:04:19and girls get addicted
01:04:20to it
01:04:21and it's fucking insane
01:04:22and like
01:04:22I have this one friend
01:04:24back home
01:04:25who's like
01:04:25he like
01:04:26he's like
01:04:27yeah like
01:04:27I can't finish
01:04:29unless I watch porn
01:04:30what?
01:04:31yeah
01:04:31like he had
01:04:32like he'll be fucking a girl
01:04:33and then he's like
01:04:34I have to like
01:04:35jack off or something
01:04:36to finish
01:04:36it sounds like he has
01:04:36something wrong with him
01:04:37so it's like
01:04:38it sounds like he watches
01:04:39way too much
01:04:40yeah he watches
01:04:40way too much porn
01:04:41might desensitize
01:04:43yeah desensitize
01:04:45for sure
01:04:45there are guys my age
01:04:47suffering from ED
01:04:47because when they have
01:04:49a sex relationship
01:04:49with a girl
01:04:50they can't perform
01:04:50because their mind
01:04:51is so skewed already
01:04:54by porn
01:04:55it's an epidemic
01:04:56what do you mean?
01:04:57men who
01:04:58when they put a condom on
01:04:59they lose their erection
01:05:01right away
01:05:01and then they try to use that
01:05:04to weasel out
01:05:05of wearing a condom
01:05:06you know they're like
01:05:06oh like
01:05:07come on
01:05:08like
01:05:08you don't need it
01:05:11I just got tested
01:05:12and I'm like
01:05:13no you didn't
01:05:14I know you didn't
01:05:14just get tested
01:05:15I think the condom problem
01:05:16is because of porn
01:05:17because I feel like
01:05:18men are really
01:05:19used to like
01:05:20their rough hand
01:05:20or something
01:05:21and then like
01:05:22they're like
01:05:23oh I'm not sensitive
01:05:24with a condom
01:05:25and like
01:05:25I can't feel you
01:05:27I'm like
01:05:28it's not even just porn
01:05:30it's the appropriation
01:05:32of porn in culture
01:05:34because sex sells
01:05:35sex is everywhere
01:05:37you go to billboards
01:05:38there's a bitch
01:05:39in a bra
01:05:40and basically nothing else
01:05:42all right guys
01:05:45I'm gonna be 100% real
01:05:46with you guys
01:05:46about the best pictures
01:05:47that us guys
01:05:48like to get
01:05:48from girls
01:05:49because a lot
01:05:50of the YouTubers
01:05:50and people would be like
01:05:51uh
01:05:52the best curve
01:05:54on a woman's body
01:05:55is hers
01:05:56you know damn
01:05:59what the best curve
01:06:00on a woman's body
01:06:00is
01:06:01that ass
01:06:02it's gonna look
01:06:06like that
01:06:07okay
01:06:08and then you shoot it
01:06:09so she's pointing it down
01:06:11I'm pointing it down
01:06:11so the angle
01:06:12comes from
01:06:13the bottom
01:06:14Kim Kardashian
01:06:16goes naked
01:06:17Kourtney Kardashian
01:06:18shows off her nipple
01:06:19and Kylie Jenner
01:06:20gets in the mix too
01:06:21what the hell
01:06:22is going on here
01:06:23one thing we're seeing
01:06:24an increase in
01:06:25for instance
01:06:25is sexting
01:06:26people are exchanging
01:06:28sexual messages
01:06:29and images
01:06:30via text
01:06:31via email
01:06:32and sometimes
01:06:33via particular apps
01:06:34I would say
01:06:35that nudes
01:06:36don't have to be
01:06:37pornography
01:06:38but the way
01:06:39they generally
01:06:40exist
01:06:41and are treated
01:06:42they are
01:06:43pornography
01:06:44by my definition
01:06:45they are
01:06:45they're sexualized
01:06:47representations
01:06:47that circulate
01:06:48and the circulation
01:06:49is key
01:06:50because the problem
01:06:52uh
01:06:53and the problem
01:06:54with the way
01:06:55they're circulated
01:06:56is that tends
01:06:57to eroticize use
01:06:58to eroticize
01:06:59just using
01:07:00somebody else's body
01:07:01for your own
01:07:01gratification
01:07:02if it's in the right
01:07:03context
01:07:04I really do like
01:07:06getting a dick pic
01:07:07it can be really great
01:07:08but you have to
01:07:10be in the mood
01:07:11and you have to
01:07:12want it
01:07:13and there should be
01:07:14like a lead up to it
01:07:15because if you just
01:07:16get a dick pic cold
01:07:17it's
01:07:17it's
01:07:17like what
01:07:19I wasn't around
01:07:20what did it
01:07:22for you
01:07:22I think that if you're
01:07:23already talking
01:07:24like sending a nude
01:07:25throughout the day
01:07:26it's just kind of like
01:07:27A
01:07:28thinking of you
01:07:29B
01:07:30reminding you how good
01:07:31that sex was
01:07:32the other day
01:07:33because like
01:07:34you know
01:07:34sometimes
01:07:35if it's been like
01:07:36two days
01:07:37you're just like
01:07:37yo
01:07:38refresher course
01:07:39like
01:07:39this was great
01:07:40eh
01:07:40like
01:07:41we can imagine
01:07:43that there are
01:07:43so many people
01:07:44with long distance
01:07:44relationships
01:07:45or
01:07:46perhaps they're
01:07:48busy with work
01:07:48and don't see
01:07:49each other enough
01:07:50or perhaps
01:07:50they just want
01:07:51to communicate
01:07:51hey
01:07:52I'm turned on
01:07:52by you
01:07:53I'm thinking
01:07:53about you
01:07:54and sexting
01:07:55for them
01:07:55can be
01:07:56perhaps a
01:07:57totally fine
01:07:58totally healthy
01:07:59way to communicate
01:08:00and share
01:08:01these erotic images
01:08:02but there is
01:08:03an inherent risk
01:08:04and in fact
01:08:05that risk
01:08:06can also build
01:08:07intimacy
01:08:07knowing that
01:08:08you're
01:08:09exposing yourself
01:08:11to someone
01:08:11or maybe not
01:08:12a good use of words
01:08:13nowadays
01:08:14the fact that
01:08:15guys think
01:08:15it's so cool
01:08:16to expose girls
01:08:18it makes it
01:08:19so hard
01:08:19for you
01:08:20to even feel
01:08:21like a guy
01:08:21that you're
01:08:22messing with
01:08:23can have
01:08:24a picture
01:08:24of you naked
01:08:25because if you guys
01:08:26ever stop
01:08:27talking to each other
01:08:28it's like
01:08:28is he gonna
01:08:29put me on Twitter
01:08:30is he gonna
01:08:31put it on Instagram
01:08:32but I got my phone
01:08:33taken away
01:08:33because I sent
01:08:34a picture
01:08:35to a guy
01:08:36in my bra
01:08:36and underwear
01:08:37in 8th grade
01:08:38I remember that
01:08:39he asked me
01:08:40for a picture
01:08:41and I sent him
01:08:42a picture of my face
01:08:43and he was like
01:08:43no not that type
01:08:44of picture
01:08:44they always say that
01:08:45and then you're like
01:08:46what kind of picture
01:08:47you want
01:08:47and he's like
01:08:48you know
01:08:48just less clothes
01:08:49and I'm just like
01:08:50I don't know
01:08:51and he was showing
01:08:52everybody
01:08:53you know
01:08:53you're young
01:08:55and you want to be cool
01:08:56and you don't want
01:08:57the person to
01:08:57the next day
01:08:58say something about you
01:09:00like you're a kid
01:09:00or something like that
01:09:01what often is called
01:09:07revenge porn
01:09:08which we could just say
01:09:10is the non-consensual distribution
01:09:13of sexual imagery
01:09:14right
01:09:15is when people
01:09:16violate often
01:09:19people's trust
01:09:20and competence
01:09:21and then post
01:09:22you know
01:09:23nude images
01:09:24of someone
01:09:25without their consent
01:09:26and often knowingly
01:09:27in violation
01:09:28of their privacy
01:09:28and when it appears
01:09:31online
01:09:31or on twitter
01:09:33you know
01:09:33when it appears
01:09:34in any online network
01:09:35spaces
01:09:36and is shared
01:09:37it will then
01:09:38often appear
01:09:39in a search
01:09:39of someone's name
01:09:40right
01:09:41which
01:09:42when you search
01:09:43someone
01:09:43who's searching
01:09:44for you
01:09:44clients
01:09:45employers
01:09:46friends
01:09:46people you care about
01:09:47and that's where
01:09:49the harm comes in
01:09:50like the potential
01:09:51for economic
01:09:52physical
01:09:53and sort of
01:09:54emotional harm
01:09:55so I was using
01:10:01a dating app
01:10:02when I met this guy
01:10:03I'd gone on
01:10:04a few dates with him
01:10:05but I hadn't
01:10:07like gone home
01:10:08with him
01:10:09and like
01:10:10slept with him
01:10:10basically
01:10:11and it didn't seem
01:10:13to be like
01:10:13an issue for me
01:10:14I didn't think
01:10:15it was awkward
01:10:15but he seemed
01:10:16to think
01:10:16it was a thing
01:10:17I found
01:10:19this website
01:10:21and it was
01:10:23that was
01:10:23on his blog
01:10:24it was like
01:10:25a blogging tree
01:10:25like a whole page
01:10:27dedicated to me
01:10:28and how much
01:10:29I sucked
01:10:30basically
01:10:31and he had
01:10:33gone through
01:10:34like the last
01:10:3410 years
01:10:35of my social media
01:10:36on like
01:10:36Facebook
01:10:37Instagram
01:10:38like all these
01:10:40outlets
01:10:41and taken
01:10:42the worst photos
01:10:42of me
01:10:43that exist
01:10:43it's quite common
01:10:45for people
01:10:45to set up
01:10:46a site
01:10:46often in the
01:10:47victims
01:10:47or the targeted
01:10:48person's name
01:10:49that says
01:10:50for example
01:10:51don't hire
01:10:52so-and-so
01:10:53or so-and-so
01:10:54is a crackhead
01:10:54right
01:10:55that would be
01:10:55the name
01:10:56off the domain
01:10:57name of the site
01:10:57right
01:10:58and that
01:10:59what you do
01:11:00on that site
01:11:01is essentially
01:11:01do whatever
01:11:02you can
01:11:02to hurt
01:11:03the reputation
01:11:03and to terrify
01:11:05the person
01:11:06and he
01:11:06made this huge
01:11:08like mosaic
01:11:08of like
01:11:09it was at least
01:11:11like 20
01:11:12photos

01:11:15of photos
01:11:16of just all
01:11:17these up-close
01:11:18terrible shots
01:11:18of me like

01:11:23and just looking
01:11:24awful
01:11:24you know
01:11:25and it was
01:11:27so embarrassing
01:11:27and I was like
01:11:28fuck
01:11:28what is this
01:11:29and then he posted
01:11:30under it
01:11:31like a story
01:11:33that was
01:11:34completely
01:11:35like made up
01:11:36and shit
01:11:37and it said
01:11:38I think it said
01:11:39that Nicole
01:11:39like smoked
01:11:40crack
01:11:41and all this
01:11:42stuff
01:11:42and it was
01:11:44crack
01:11:44like specifically
01:11:45and I was like
01:11:46that's outrageous
01:11:48and weird
01:11:48so I tried
01:11:50contacting
01:11:50the web host
01:11:52or whatever
01:11:52who hosts
01:11:53the domain
01:11:53and they
01:11:54never got back
01:11:56to me
01:11:56and then I
01:11:57contacted
01:11:57Instagram
01:11:59and Facebook
01:11:59to be like
01:12:01this guy's
01:12:02using my photos
01:12:03without my permission
01:12:03and I never heard
01:12:05from any of them
01:12:06and then
01:12:07it was
01:12:08the dating app
01:12:09that I contacted
01:12:09and they said
01:12:10to call the police
01:12:11because they
01:12:12couldn't do anything
01:12:13you've got officers
01:12:15who are great
01:12:16at street crimes
01:12:17it's what they know
01:12:18well
01:12:19but when you come
01:12:20to them
01:12:20with a problem
01:12:21that involves
01:12:21having to investigate
01:12:22sort of your
01:12:23online footprints
01:12:24and who it is
01:12:25that did this
01:12:26they just feel
01:12:26outpaced
01:12:27by the technology
01:12:28they don't know
01:12:29what to do
01:12:29I thought that
01:12:30it might be
01:12:31like a good
01:12:31opportunity
01:12:32for one of those
01:12:34companies
01:12:34to sort of
01:12:35come to the rescue
01:12:36in a way
01:12:37and be like
01:12:37look
01:12:38we protect
01:12:38our users
01:12:39like
01:12:39you know
01:12:40especially
01:12:41the dating app
01:12:42I thought
01:12:43that they would
01:12:43maybe have
01:12:44a better reaction
01:12:45than
01:12:45very just sort
01:12:47of
01:12:47I don't know
01:12:48like it's not
01:12:49our issue
01:12:50I guess
01:12:51the ethical
01:12:59implications
01:13:00of what we're
01:13:01doing
01:13:01are always
01:13:02weighing upon
01:13:03us
01:13:03it's
01:13:04everything
01:13:05from
01:13:05bullying
01:13:07to
01:13:07just
01:13:08inappropriate
01:13:10behavior
01:13:10and
01:13:11it's
01:13:12something
01:13:12that
01:13:13almost every
01:13:15conversation
01:13:15we have
01:13:16around here
01:13:17is about
01:13:17how we can
01:13:18help that
01:13:19it's included
01:13:20with every new
01:13:20thing that we
01:13:21come up with
01:13:21is making sure
01:13:22that we
01:13:22create a safe
01:13:24and comfortable
01:13:24environment
01:13:25for our users
01:13:26there's a lot
01:13:26more that we
01:13:27could do
01:13:28just like
01:13:29every platform
01:13:30and
01:13:31we're going
01:13:32to
01:13:32we're working
01:13:33on all sorts
01:13:34of things
01:13:34don't know
01:13:35all the ways
01:13:36we're going
01:13:36to do that
01:13:37but collectively
01:13:38we'll figure
01:13:39something out
01:13:40I'm sure
01:13:40we better
01:13:41we have to
01:13:42have you ever
01:13:43heard from anybody
01:13:44who's had something
01:13:45bad happen
01:13:45directly I've not
01:13:47nobody's
01:13:48personally come to
01:13:49me with it
01:13:50but there's
01:13:51certainly been
01:13:52a few different
01:13:53news stories
01:13:53and all that
01:13:54have occurred
01:13:55I don't know
01:13:58any specifically
01:13:59there are stories
01:14:12from 100 years
01:14:13ago of women
01:14:14being murdered
01:14:14when meeting
01:14:15a man that
01:14:16advertised in
01:14:17the lonely
01:14:17hearts section
01:14:18of the newspaper
01:14:18luckily these
01:14:19are not everyday
01:14:20stories but
01:14:21they do underscore
01:14:22the huge risks
01:14:23involved and
01:14:24and moreover
01:14:24they do kind
01:14:26of ask us
01:14:27to think more
01:14:27deeply about
01:14:28why it is
01:14:30that when a
01:14:31woman is murdered
01:14:31it is likely
01:14:32to be by
01:14:33someone who
01:14:34she's in a
01:14:34sort of intimate
01:14:35situation with
01:14:36so we do need
01:14:37to get beyond
01:14:37just blaming
01:14:38dating apps
01:14:38we need to also
01:14:39think about
01:14:39what's going on
01:14:40more deeply
01:14:41in society
01:14:41that for all
01:14:43the gains
01:14:43women have made
01:14:44the domestic
01:14:45violence figures
01:14:45speak for themselves
01:14:46murder figures
01:14:47speak for themselves
01:14:48women are still
01:14:48being murdered
01:14:49and physically
01:14:51abused by men
01:14:52on a hugely
01:14:53regular basis
01:14:54this dude was
01:15:01freaking psychotic
01:15:02he drunkenly
01:15:03came to my house
01:15:03at like
01:15:04five in the morning
01:15:06mind you
01:15:07I'd invited him
01:15:08over at probably
01:15:09like eleven
01:15:10thinking he was
01:15:11going to get there
01:15:12by like one
01:15:12and I could kick
01:15:13him out around three
01:15:13because I didn't
01:15:14want to sleep
01:15:14with him at the
01:15:15time it was
01:15:15way too early
01:15:16so he comes
01:15:17there mad late
01:15:18clearly drunk as hell
01:15:20so I'm like
01:15:20alright
01:15:20and he took a cab
01:15:21there from wherever
01:15:22he was
01:15:22so I'm like
01:15:23okay I don't
01:15:23want to be a bitch
01:15:24because you just
01:15:24spent all this
01:15:25money to get to
01:15:25my house
01:15:25and I understand
01:15:26you're lit
01:15:26and you probably
01:15:27just want to
01:15:27sleep
01:15:27like it is
01:15:28what it is
01:15:28I'll let you
01:15:29crash
01:15:29he gets in my
01:15:30bed
01:15:30literally tries
01:15:32to force himself
01:15:33on me
01:15:33and I just
01:15:35wasn't rocking
01:15:36and like I
01:15:37literally had to
01:15:38like hold my
01:15:39clothes
01:15:40push this
01:15:40thing off me
01:15:41like I'm not
01:15:42yelling because
01:15:43I don't want to
01:15:43wake my roommates
01:15:44up because it's
01:15:44like I'm not
01:15:45getting raped
01:15:45and I think
01:15:46like I'm
01:15:46I'm thinking
01:15:47eventually he's
01:15:48going to kid a
01:15:48hint and then
01:15:49he drunkenly
01:15:49passes out
01:15:50I wait about
01:15:51an hour
01:15:51and I'm like
01:15:52freaking out
01:15:53and then I
01:15:54kick him out
01:15:54of my apartment
01:15:54and obviously
01:15:57like I kind of
01:15:58set myself up
01:15:59for it
01:15:59so I'm kind
01:16:00of not an
01:16:00idiot for that
01:16:01I'm not like
01:16:01emotionally distraught

01:16:04I'm just one of
01:16:04those like
01:16:05y'all need to
01:16:05do better
01:16:06and I'm so
01:16:07glad that it
01:16:08didn't get worse
01:16:09because there
01:16:09are so many
01:16:10scenarios where
01:16:11I've heard
01:16:11like wear hats
01:16:12with other women
01:16:13not with him
01:16:14in particular
01:16:14but just in
01:16:15general
01:16:15and I just
01:16:16like I know
01:16:17so many of
01:16:18my very
01:16:18very
01:16:19very close
01:16:20female friends
01:16:21have experienced
01:16:22very negative
01:16:23encounters with
01:16:24men
01:16:24and I'm just
01:16:25grateful that
01:16:26nothing on that
01:16:27level has happened
01:16:28because it's very
01:16:28possible and I
01:16:29pray it never does
01:16:30because I wouldn't
01:16:31even wish that
01:16:32shit on my
01:16:32enemies
01:16:32like even when
01:16:41I had my
01:16:41old boyfriend
01:16:42and we would
01:16:42do stuff
01:16:43like
01:16:43he always
01:16:46kind of
01:16:46one he always
01:16:47kind of like
01:16:47vaguely like
01:16:48pressured me
01:16:48into stuff
01:16:49which like
01:16:49wasn't cool
01:16:50so like
01:16:51we'd be
01:16:51hanging out
01:16:53and we'd be
01:16:53watching TV
01:16:54and like I just
01:16:55wanted to like
01:16:56cuddle and watch
01:16:57TV and then he
01:16:58would start like
01:16:58kissing my neck
01:16:59or whatever
01:16:59and like starting
01:17:00to like get on
01:17:01top of me
01:17:01and I would like
01:17:02kind of pull away
01:17:03and be like
01:17:03I just kind of
01:17:03want to like
01:17:04sit here
01:17:05and then he would
01:17:06like put his
01:17:06hands up my
01:17:07shirt and like
01:17:08all this kind of
01:17:09stuff and I would
01:17:09just like kind of
01:17:10try and turn away
01:17:11and then it always
01:17:13just got to a
01:17:13point
01:17:14he knew that I
01:17:15would just get
01:17:15to a point
01:17:16where I was
01:17:16like okay
01:17:18I guess we're
01:17:18doing this
01:17:19and so like
01:17:20we'd do
01:17:21whatever
01:17:22and it was
01:17:22literally
01:17:23every single
01:17:25time we were
01:17:26alone
01:17:27every single
01:17:28time
01:17:28I'm realizing
01:17:29now looking
01:17:30back on it
01:17:30that it was
01:17:31like a little
01:17:31bit more
01:17:31fucked up
01:17:32than I thought
01:17:32it was
01:17:33I see
01:17:39people try
01:17:39to justify
01:17:40like
01:17:41the rape
01:17:42of a spouse
01:17:43or the rape
01:17:44of a girlfriend
01:17:45or a boyfriend
01:17:46these are themes
01:17:50that are embedded
01:17:51in our society
01:17:52it's definitely
01:17:55something that
01:17:56the internet
01:17:56and social media
01:17:57is like
01:17:57enlightening a lot
01:17:58of young women
01:17:59to realize
01:18:00I'm valuable
01:18:01I don't have to
01:18:02put up with your
01:18:02shit
01:18:02and I also
01:18:03don't have to
01:18:04be treated
01:18:04like a sex object
01:18:05for the rest
01:18:06of my life
01:18:06and I'm also
01:18:07capable of doing
01:18:08whatever I want
01:18:09and if your
01:18:10politics correlate
01:18:11with mine
01:18:12that's cool
01:18:13but I'm gonna
01:18:13still do me
01:18:14at the end
01:18:14of the day
01:18:15so what if
01:18:25we like
01:18:26what if there's
01:18:26a dating app
01:18:27that was designed
01:18:28around how women
01:18:29perceive attraction
01:18:30like what
01:18:31would that be
01:18:31different
01:18:32what if
01:18:33you designed
01:18:34a dating app
01:18:34what would it
01:18:35be like
01:18:36if I'm designing
01:18:37a dating app
01:18:37I don't know
01:18:39I feel like
01:18:39there's no way
01:18:40to get around
01:18:40the fact that
01:18:41men can just
01:18:41be fucking
01:18:42disgusting
01:18:42absolutely
01:18:43I think it's
01:18:44the fact that
01:18:44like women
01:18:45have always been
01:18:45seen as
01:18:46an object of
01:18:47pleasure
01:18:47or an object
01:18:48of like
01:18:49something secondary
01:18:50something inferior
01:18:51yeah it's a vessel
01:18:51so it's kind of
01:18:52like
01:18:52even nowadays
01:18:54it's sort of
01:18:54like
01:18:55the only reason
01:18:56that you exist
01:18:57in this space
01:18:58is for my
01:18:59viewing pleasure
01:18:59I'm not saying
01:19:00that like
01:19:00everyone who does
01:19:02dating apps
01:19:02is like
01:19:02terrible or gross
01:19:03or anything
01:19:03but the fact
01:19:04that you have
01:19:05to like
01:19:05work your way
01:19:06through so many
01:19:07people that are
01:19:08just like
01:19:08either total
01:19:09bullshitters
01:19:09or obviously
01:19:10only after sex
01:19:11and like

01:19:14okay
01:19:15and it just gets
01:19:16exhausting
01:19:16so I just like
01:19:17why bother
01:19:17cheers
01:19:20papa
01:19:20what the
01:19:49Me Too movement
01:19:50has done
01:19:50it's really
01:19:51created this
01:19:52huge voice
01:19:53in the community
01:19:55and that voice
01:19:57is strong
01:19:57and I do feel
01:19:58like as a woman
01:19:59running the largest
01:20:00set of dating
01:20:01products in the world
01:20:02that we have to
01:20:03listen to that voice
01:20:04and we have to
01:20:04adapt our products
01:20:06how we work
01:20:07internally
01:20:07our sensitivity
01:20:08to things
01:20:09and especially
01:20:10as we are creating
01:20:11social products
01:20:12that sit in the
01:20:13hands of women
01:20:14and this is a time
01:20:16where I do think
01:20:17it's important
01:20:18for us to
01:20:18both protect
01:20:20listen
01:20:20and create products
01:20:21that are relevant
01:20:22to women
01:20:22and how are you
01:20:24going to do that?
01:20:25yeah I mean
01:20:25I think there's
01:20:26a couple of things
01:20:26that we need to do
01:20:28one
01:20:28we have safety tips
01:20:31first of all
01:20:32it's really important
01:20:33that women
01:20:33don't meet people
01:20:35they never go
01:20:36to someone's house
01:20:37they meet in a public
01:20:38place
01:20:38they don't drink
01:20:39they let someone
01:20:40know where they're going
01:20:40they take precaution
01:20:44they let a person
01:20:45know that they're
01:20:46on a date
01:20:46with someone else
01:20:47they never go
01:20:48into someone's car
01:20:49so there's a number
01:20:50of safety tips
01:20:50that we provide
01:20:51for people
01:20:52and I just think
01:20:52that people also
01:20:53have to just take
01:20:54real precaution
01:20:55there have been
01:20:57reports of a rise
01:20:58in sexual violence
01:20:59related to online dating
01:21:00do you think dating apps
01:21:02are contributing
01:21:03to rape culture?
01:21:04the sad thing
01:21:06is that
01:21:06you know
01:21:07because there's
01:21:08so many millions
01:21:10and millions
01:21:10of people
01:21:11on our products
01:21:11one out of every
01:21:13two single people
01:21:14have a profile
01:21:16on a dating app
01:21:16today in the United States
01:21:18then it is
01:21:19truly
01:21:20what happens
01:21:21in society
01:21:22happens on the apps
01:21:22as well
01:21:23I don't see it
01:21:39slowing down
01:21:40I mean why would
01:21:41it slow down
01:21:41it's making a lot
01:21:42of money for a lot
01:21:42of different companies
01:21:43and a lot of people
01:21:44we're getting better
01:21:46at designing experiences
01:21:47that are addictive
01:21:47because we understand
01:21:48it more now
01:21:49than we ever did before
01:21:50so I don't see
01:21:52it slowing down
01:21:52I think it's only
01:21:53going to be weaponized
01:21:54and I think when
01:21:54virtual and augmented
01:21:55reality become a really
01:21:56big deal
01:21:57can you imagine
01:21:58dating apps
01:21:59where you can actually
01:21:59interact in a room
01:22:00with the people
01:22:01that you're swiping
01:22:02why wouldn't people
01:22:03spend 24 hours a day
01:22:04on these apps
01:22:05if they feel like
01:22:05they're actually
01:22:06in the room
01:22:06with other people
01:22:07and if they don't
01:22:08like them
01:22:08they can get rid of
01:22:09them ASAP
01:22:10no problem
01:22:10but if they do
01:22:12you're actually
01:22:13that much closer
01:22:14to actually being
01:22:15on a date with them
01:22:15without having to
01:22:16do anything
01:22:17you can sit in
01:22:18your boxer shorts
01:22:18at home
01:22:19and be on a date
01:22:20with someone
01:22:20why wouldn't you do that
01:22:21we know there are
01:22:25sex robots
01:22:26and we know
01:22:27that there are
01:22:27appendages that you
01:22:28can attach to yourself
01:22:29that make an experience
01:22:30feel like sex
01:22:31and so it's just going
01:22:33to be a more immersive
01:22:33version of that
01:22:34over time
01:22:35a virtual and
01:22:35augmented reality
01:22:36I don't know
01:22:50we were just drifting
01:22:51further and further
01:22:51apart
01:22:52and
01:22:53like towards the end
01:22:55it felt like
01:22:56we weren't even really
01:22:57like in a relationship
01:23:01I definitely
01:23:03became more distant
01:23:05I don't know why
