Transcript
Now I'm ready. >> The man was probably done talking to you when you set up your phone to record yourself and then you proceeded to eat your pasta like that. What are you doing to that breadstick? You know that you can actually purchase Alfredo dipping sauce with those breadsticks, which I highly recommend by the way. I just think that this next generation is making so many mistakes when it comes to dating because men are going to be rolling their eyes like their eyeballs are going to be in the backs of their heads the second that you pull out that camera or the meta glasses.
Like they're both just terrible. Because when you do that, that man is going to understand that your date with him is just performative. You just want to get the video. You just want to get the pics. It doesn't matter who is sitting across from you. It could be anyone. So why should that man put in his time, effort, and energy into a situation like that? Like he's just going to want to wrap up the date and get out of there.
The words are the caption track's own and nothing is reworded or re-transcribed. Paragraph breaks are placed between sentences so the text reads as prose.
