So I'm 22 years old, I've never had a boyfriend before, but I am on all the dating apps. I've tried them all. So maybe I'm doing something wrong, I wanna know what you think. Well let's take a look at your profile, shall we? So on your profile, here's the thing I noticed. Firstly, you look beautiful in your pictures. You look great, they're clear pictures, but they don't show very much about your life. So you wanna have great pictures, but you wanna show what you get up to, what your passions are, what activities you like doing. If I'm a guy, and I wanna message you on the back of those photos, the problem is I don't really know what to say other than, "You look beautiful." Yeah, and that-- And then you're gonna go, ah, so stereotypical, right? But you haven't given me anything else to work with. So is there something you're in to? What do you like doing? Food. (laughs) Food, okay. (audience laughs) And so great, let's get some pictures of you traveling, eating food, right? And I had the same issue with the text you used. So for example, you've got two prompts there from the app. One says, "You should leave a comment if." You put, "You love food." Right? Yeah. Then there's another prompt that says, "I take pride in." And you have a chance to write an answer, you put, "My food." Now, there's nothing wrong with that. Kind of a one-track mind, I think. Which by the way, is fantastic, but you need to give him a little more to work with. So I wrote a couple of comments that you could have written here. These are, I just plucked these out of thin air, so you have to make them authentic to you. But one of 'em could be, "Comment if you thinking finding new delicious places "to try food is one of the most exciting parts of life, "and only if spicy food is essential in your life. "Kidding, kind of." Right, so here's a little bit of like-- He's really good, isn't it? Yeah, I gotta use that. He's really good at being fake you. (audience laughs) And then when you said, "I take pride in," I put, 'cause here's what I thought. You can have one playful answer, but you wanna use another answer to show you're something else. If every answer shows you're playful, then you're just playful. People don't get addicted to one quality, they get addicted to many qualities in the same person. So if you said, "I take pride in being kind to people. "As cheesy as it may sound, I really do believe "that acts of kindness are one of the most beautiful things "about being alive." Aw. Here's what you show-- The whole room wants to date you! (audience laughs) So now you show a unique pairing of qualities, kindness, and playfulness, and your love for food. Here's plenty to work off of. You may be beautiful, but beauty doesn't separate us in a world where anyone could make a beautiful picture. Your voice, and your story will separate you, okay? Thank you. Very good! (audience applauds) Well done. Well done. (audience cheers) (bells chime)
