Transcript
Oh my god. Are we making out with her? This is Andrew, and contrary to this video, he actually doesn't get girls. I met Andrew a few months ago, and he apparently leaves his apartment. He's pretty introverted, and we spend most of our days indoors watching anime and playing guitar. But as we've become a lot closer, he he's divulged to me that he's a bit lonely and wants to try dating, so I convinced him to get on the dating apps. Have you good any matches yet? Nope. I lost 70 pounds, so if I ever get on top, you won't die. That's very thoughtful. I don't know if I can put this in the video, man. You're about five foot ten? I I am five foot ten. So the problem with your profile is you don't have hobbies and duet matches people based on their shared interests. I think the first thing we need to do, when you take your photos Alright. Now pretend like you play guitar. Oh, yes. Excellent. Some good one, bro. Nice. Nice. Nice. One, two, three, four, five matches. Yes. Oh, shoot it back. And in the end, I think my plan to set up Andrew with a girl was pretty successful.
