Reacting to unacceptable dating textsfrom @gstaadguy
[01]
Overview
The creator performs a comedic skit where he plays a character with extremely high dating standards. He sequentially reads out different low-effort or problematic text messages, represented by on-screen text bubbles, and for each one, he provides a disdainful reason for rejection before comedically dismissing it by saying 'à la poubelle' (to the trash) and throwing it into a graphic of a trash can. He concludes with a dramatic monologue about maintaining high standards, otherwise, the result is the same.
