  • We're gonna start with Victoria.

  • Pretty in pink right here.

  • (laughs) Hi. Hi.

  • 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)

We're gonna start with Victoria.
