2:04

real what what do you mean by that just

2:06

swiping around just looking at at it

2:09

people yeah not really so judging them

2:12

giving them a swipe what do you think of

2:15

online dating

2:16

apps um I think some of them are a

2:19

little bit

2:21

superficial but if you find love then

2:24

yeah good

2:28

see

2:31

but if you find love then yeah good for

2:33

you nicely answered yeah superficial do

2:36

you mind quickly explaining what

2:38

superficial means it's like seeing

2:41

things um with your eyes and not really

2:44

thinking about them not very deep

2:48

concept on on the yeah on the surface

2:50

yeah good okay I'm here with cord and

2:53

Maria my friends from the Philippines

2:56

hello guys hi hi what do you guys think

2:59

think what are your opinions about

3:01

online

3:03

dating um I don't know I've never tried

3:06

it myself but I mean whatever floats

3:08

your boat I guess yeah it's a great way

3:11

to like meet new people and everyone

3:13

sort of like they do everything online

3:16

now

3:17

so yeah I think so so it's convenient

3:20

right yeah whatever floats your boat and

3:24

that means everyone has their own tastes

3:26

and everyone is different and we're all

3:28

wonderful and that's just fine I'm here

3:31

with my friends onaka and Nikita who are

3:36

from New York New York wow welcome how

3:41

do you guys feel what are your opinions

3:43

about online dating uh websites like

3:47

like Tinder and buo online dating apps I

3:52

don't know buo I've heard of Tinder and

3:56

um I think it's pretty cool like it's we

3:59

live in a digal world so it's

4:02

efficient MH I think Tinder is actually

4:05

really funny when you're like swiping

4:07

and you're denying them I think it's

4:08

actually really funny I never been on it

4:10

but I saw other people use it so I think

4:12

it's pretty funny and people got dates

4:14

and they had like a little long-term

4:18

relationship yeah and so you had a swipe

4:21

on someone else's phone no I saw them do

4:24

and I thought it was really funny yeah

4:26

quite fun yeah oh oh yeah yeah would you

4:30

be able to tell me about one of your

4:33

worst dates that you've ever had you

4:36

might need a moment to think I would

4:38

take a while yeah let me think the go oh

4:42

that was so bad yeah that sounds

4:44

excellent that was the Tinder date was

4:48

Tinder date so we're not really just oh

4:50

my gosh viewing the Tinder I was there

4:53

it's not you were there both there's a

4:57

lot of people there all right so tell us

4:59

tell so what happened okay I thought I

5:01

was joining at the surf team at our

5:03

school mhm and so this guy said to me

5:06

okay come along like with the surfing

5:08

team you can meet them all and like

5:09

we'll just have drinks together I'm like

5:11

okay I'll bring my friends then so like

5:12

I brought them with me and I thought we

5:14

were like going to meet the whole like

5:15

team and then we get there yeah and it's

5:18

like him and he's like oh let me buy you

5:21

these drinks and stuff I'm like

5:26

okay he's like oh let me buy you these

5:28

5:42

you um we got to go

5:44

now best date what would be what would

5:47

have been your best date can you

5:50

remember I don't know I think it's not

5:54

really about if it's a date sometimes we

5:55

just have really good chats with

5:57

people so it's all about the

5:58

conversation about the chat yeah about

6:01

the chat about the chat yeah very very

6:03

normal way of saying conversation yeah

6:05

what about the worst

6:06

date um I haven't really been on any bad

6:10

dates cuz I like before I say that I'll

6:13

go on a date with them so maybe that's

6:15

because you don't go on Tinder and you

6:16

don't do the blind date thing yeah I

6:18

think

6:22

so maybe that's because you don't go on

6:24

Tinder and you don't do the blind date

6:26

thing yeah I think so so what's the

6:29

moral of the story don't go on
