Transcript
I think I'm ready to give dating in New York a try. I've heard it's really rough here, but there are so many people. The dating pool in Cincy was super small. I don't think I have a type. A gentleman, someone who makes me laugh, and absolutely no actors. Trust me. No. Fish. Shirtless. Fish. Shirtless. With fish. Are you kidding me? If I swipe that fast, you guys would give me so much You do swipe that fast. You do. Do. Yeah. But I'm swiping yes. You're not giving any of these guys a chance. It's giving Color Guard no many red flags. What do you mean? Okay. Look at this guy. Which one is he? He's not. And this guy says he wants a gym buddy. That's what I want. Translation, bad. Oh, no. Oh. Well, I mean, no. Then there's mister sunglasses here. What? He looks fresh. But what is he hiding? As a woman, you have to be selective no you don't waste your time or, you know, get murdered. Hey. Oh, listen. You best a 100% of the shots you don't take. Plus, your boys got mad game. Worst. Me? Dating? Well, you met my ex, no, yeah, I've been out of the game for a little while. No. I don't have commitment issues. It's just faith was certain, and I wasn't. I don't believe you should get married unless you're a 100%. One tier, I was in line at the post office, and I gave my full name to the teller. And then thirty minutes later, I got a DM from the person behind me in line on LinkedIn. LinkedIn? What a freak. Okay, you guys. I did it. I have eight dates lined up for next week. Eight. You miss a 100% of the shots you don't take. Yo. That's what I'm talking about, Lily. That sounds truly exhausting, but I would require every detail. Okay. So the first one's on Monday, and I would say he's my usual type. Tall, kind eyes, works in finance. And I'm like, are we still into that?
