• 0:26
  Speaker 2: send in your dilemmas Dilemma with a twist.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, so we asked you to send your dilemmas that
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: could literally be in a book, or a movie or
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: a television show.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: We wanted the jelty jelsey.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we want like the book tropes but in real life.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like they had to come from somewhere.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm really excited to get into these. Should
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: we just jump straight in?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, hit me with your best shot.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, Dilemma number one. I slept with a notorious fuck.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Yes, this is what I wanted.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Rookie mistake, I know, But in my defense, I am
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: really good at casual flings and don't ever get attacked.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Oh I gotta have a crush on you.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I believe it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, Oh okay. Maybe as a psychologist in training, I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: know a lot about the law of attraction and the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: science behind wanting what you can't have.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Oh shit, she's out fucking the fucker.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Where I like that? Oh okay. After sleeping with this guy,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I became completely aloof and didn't care, and he kept
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: puffing up.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: They always they always do.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I got the ick from this f boy as I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was playing his own game better than him, and I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: felt so cool doing Oh my god, she's a fuck girl.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I love it as I knew he's done it to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so many women. My dilemma is can a fuck boy
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: be reformed? He keeps on my way and I keep
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: turning him down. If I give in and let him
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: take me on a date, I risk starting to fall
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for him and him getting the satisfaction and then dipping.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Most of my mates are saying don't give in, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: some I kind of thinking. We have heaps in common
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and are both really good at casual, so maybe we've
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: both met our match. Side note obsessed with the pod chickys.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Love you Babe, love you two. Oh my god, I
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: have so many thoughts.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your first thought?
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: What's your first response.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: My first thought was that you can't develop feelings when
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: like you're not being yourself. So it's like you can't
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: kind of base what would be on the current situation
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: because you're like, not to me, not to say that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: she's not being herself, but it's like not how you
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: would act if you were, like, you're purposely being aloof
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: she's purposely like playing hard to get.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: If you will, you've put.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: A wall up for any real kind of connection.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and kind of manipulated the situation so that he's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: like foaming at.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: The mouth, which like.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Is palpable.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I also completely understand her thing of like
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: what happens if I bring the wall down and I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: get feelings for him, and then that means he's no
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: longer interested. I kind of think, well, thank god, you.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Dodged a bullet.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Then, like, if that's like if he's only interested because
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you're playing hard to get, and then second you stop
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: playing hard to get. I know that's like not exactly
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the right term of phrase, because that's not all what
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you're doing. You're just like keeping a distance and not
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: being like wow obsessed. But yeah, you never know what
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: it's going to be. But if the second you actually
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: open up and want to get someone to spend time
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: with him, that he goes, oh, well this isn't worth
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it anymore.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Then, like, thank goodness she found out early.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like maybe you could let the wall down
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: ever so slightly, but not and then away not the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: whole fun, is it? Yeah, and like go on the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: date and see how he behaves and treats you and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: if he shows any red flags of like continuing to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: be a fuck boy, or it's like all right, well
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I've got what I want. Now I don't Now I'm
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: not interested. Then you know, like all right, well let's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: really wrap it up right. It's definitely.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: What did she say at the start about the.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Sex, She didn't really say anything. She said, I slept
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: with an F boy.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: She said, I slept with a notorious F boy. Rookie mistake,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I know, but in my defense, I'm really good at
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: casual flings and don't ever get attached. So she didn't
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: describe the actual sex.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: But I would like some details in that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: EARI Yeah, because that maybe act response.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm gonna make the editorial decision for us
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: that it was mind blowing for both of them. Well,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: he wouldn't be you know, hanging around if it wasn't. Yeah,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: that's the.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Thing that it's like. He but she said that he's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: treated so many other women and that might again.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: That's a thing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: He's like, do you want to put yourself through that?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Put yourself through that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Or like even date someone that we don't know the
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: details of, like how he navigated those relationships with other women,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: but like, do you want to date someone who maybe
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: hasn't been respectful to other women's feelings. I'm not saying
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that's a situation because we don't have those details, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: like if it has been like quite a fuckboy situation
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: of just like you know, sleeping with someone and then
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: like not really being conscious of their feelings, that's probably
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: not someone that has super long term potential unless they
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Oh she was saying can a fuck boy beer reform?
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's the thing, And our wonderful producer actually shared an
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: interesting insight people. So in response to can a fuck
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: boy really change? So, specialist psychologist and self identifying lesbian
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: fuck boy lover Lauren Haywood, Yes, you read that right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: I love her?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: How funny is that?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: My God.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: So, she says fuck boys often act the way they
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: do because that's the behavior that was modeled to them
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: from their parents or other trusted adults. She also says
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the hot and cold behavior can represent a desire to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: be close with someone, but an inability to know how
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to effectively let emotional barriers down, or a particular discomfort
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: with feeling vulnerable. Right, and then she also says that
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: many fuck boys fall into the anxious avoidant attachment style.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say that, I think it's disorganized. It's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: called disorganized attachment, and it's the mix of anxious and avoidant.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like stand offish at first, but then you can
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: push through like the hardened exterior maybe to get into
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a soft, gooey center potential potentially.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Disorganized is like they'll like have the ability to
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: emotionally connect, but then when you emotionally connect, then they're
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: like no, no, no. It's like when they give you
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: a fore head kiss, right, and it's like, if we're
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: not married, don't do that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the most what's the word that's like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the most intimate thing?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, four hair kiss, as well as washing someone's hair. Yeah, yeah, boy,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: washing your hair is like literally the most intimate thing
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: that could possibly happen.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ever, literally, but it's home run.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: But I think that's like the thing that especially happens
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: with quote unquote fuck boys. It's like you spend time
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: with them and it feels like really connected or I
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: mean sometimes it's just like three am in a root
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: in a boot, but it's like you spend time with
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: them and you really like them, and you're like, we
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: have such a good time together, and then I don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: hear them for like five days.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Why I don't hear from them at all?
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: And you're like, what happened?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's a tricky one. I think you need to ask yourself,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: what do you like about this person?
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Do you like him?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Like is it his personality? Is it the connection
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that you have? Is it like the sex and the intimacy?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Is it because he's like he's got this little like
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the throwing at the fuck boy charisma?
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Do you want the badge of taming the beast?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Is that what you want of the true taming of
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: the true?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Exactly, like without the chase, what's there? Yeah, because at
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, you're going to get puffed out.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it's true.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, next time.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I've been dating my partner for seven years and he
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: never says I love you. What he says he doesn't
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: need to because it's a given, even though.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I say I'd like to hear it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: No, I'm laughing because Sales shaking her head, not because
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I think this is fine. When I say it to him,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: he doesn't say it back. I've only heard it from
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: him in the first year or so of our relationship.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: At what point do I start to think that he
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: actually just doesn't love me?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: No, I hate that. Oh my god, that is so
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: fucking shit, as like are words of affirmation slash every
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: love language, girly.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: That would really really hurt me.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But I'm also like there would be some people out
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: there who that would be enough for them, Like there
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: would be some person out there who would be like,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I show my partner that I love.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I love I don't need to say it all the time.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just my encounter to that is like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: but you don't have to need to say it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It's because you want it, because you want to.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: And I think it doesn't matter if you say I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: love you once a day, once like ten times a day.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: It's the fact that that's just what you want to say, Like,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: it doesn't make it mean any less if you say
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: it once a year or a thousand times a day,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: which is the minimum for me. I dated a guy
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: that really didn't say I love you that often, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: at the time, I like brainwashed myself into thinking, oh, no,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: it's just because like when he says it, he really
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: means it, And I'm like, but don't you really mean
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: it all the time, and like maybe I'm just needy
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: for that, but it's like maybe maybe, but it's like okay,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: then lock me up, Like I want to my.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Partner say I love you every day.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Whenever Rob and I are like going to bed, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: always go to bed and I go like, I love
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: you and he says it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Bat Like yeah, I'm a firm believer that like every
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: time you say goodbye to somebody that you care about,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you should say I love you to that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: We say I love you all the time to each
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: other and it doesn't mean it doesn't make it any
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: less in those moments that you know we've had really
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: like I love that. It's about your me now, Like
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: when we've had like really special moments like maybe we're
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: watching the fireworks at Disneyland, or we just did our
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: first live show and we have those moments and I'm like,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I'm so proud of you. I love you like that,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: like you just knowing those moments that that in that moment,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: it's really like a yeah, but.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Inside your skin, yeah normal stuff. Yeah, obviously, well no
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: one else does that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: But that's kind of like what I was saying before,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: is that I know that there are some people out
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: there who genuinely are like I don't need my partner
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to say I love you every single day. I know
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that in the same way that I know that some
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: people like I don't need to be I don't need
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: to hug yeah people every single time I see them.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: But sorry, I keep going.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, if you, but if you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: are the sort of person that does need to be told,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: which she is, but she's saying that she is, like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: what's the harm It costs zero dollars?
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Literally, what's so harmon?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Like? And I understand that some times it's more of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a source of discomfort. Like we were talking about attachment
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: styles that like saying I love you can be a
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: lot of work for some people, as like an internal thing,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and that's okay. But if a partner has expressed that they,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you know, feel this way about it, it's about working
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: towards happiness for both of you and being vulnerable and
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: saying like, you know, like it's been. It makes me
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: feel quite vulnerable. I do feel that way about you,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: but you know, saying it is sometimes a bit of
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: a struggle for me.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: But on the flip side as well, I do think
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: you can also have the opposite end where someone's going
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I love you, I love you, I love you, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: there's zero action behind it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Love bombing.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like love saying I love you is not just
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: something that's said, it's something it's shown.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: And I don't even know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: If she really has gone into that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Has gone into that and said he said he doesn't
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: need to because it's a given, even though I'd say
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I'd like to hear it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, I.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Think and this is just me guessing that she likes
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: she wants to hear it, because she's also not being
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: shown it. So like the verbal affirmation, the words of
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: affirmation is also not being shown through other love languages
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: of like quality time or acts of service.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, gifts. Also, it's not a given. Lots of
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: people exist in loveless relationships, like it is not a given.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And I know that people have different love languages and
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: that's okay.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: To have to ask your partner to say I love
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: you more is not a fun thing to navigate, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I really feel for her, but to.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Have them not listen and even try is what makes
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: it even harder. So I think bring it up with
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: him again, absolutely, and explain how it makes you feel,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and like maybe ask him like why don't you want
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to say it?
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And I don't feel like it's a given because and
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: it's more even more like even saying I'd like to
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: hear it kind of keeps it as this like open thing.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: And there's a friend once said a way to.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Kind of tell people what you want from them.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: And when she said that phrase, I was like, I'm
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: going to use that. And it was more in a
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: friendship and she was, you know, not getting invited to
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: something from a friend because they'd made new friends and
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: they were hanging out with other people and they weren't
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: inbiting her, and she said to her friend, that wasn't
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: inviting her. I value feeling included and thought of in
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: my friendships, and so that I think is a perfect
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: way to communicate this is what I need and value
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and this is what that makes me feel like.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: It makes me feel good when that happens.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: So going to him and saying I feel valued when
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I'm told and shown that I'm loved, That's how I
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: feel value in this. You know, I value feeling told
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that I'm loved and showing that I'm loved in a relationship.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: That's what I find, you know, the value in and
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the happiness in. And maybe propositioning it that way or
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: positioning it that way can maybe make that key turn.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, might make him understand it a little bit more.

• 16:48
  Speaker 2: This week our sponsor is Prime Videos new series Off Campus,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So we wanted to find some real life dating dilemmas
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that could become their own book. Let's get into this
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: next dilemma found one Okay, I need help settling a debate. Oh,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: dip me in because my friends are divided. Oh dump, Yeah,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: let's end it there. Thanks chicks. Okay, I've been seeing
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: this guy for three months and objectively he is the
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: full package. Tall, ridiculously attractive, works in architecture, sends me
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: text me when you get home messages. Um, yeah, remembers
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: tiny details about me, and somehow smells expensive. Twenty four
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to seven.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: So she found a unicorn?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Holy shit, what's the fuck?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: What's the problem?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, genuinely one of the nicest men I've ever met.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: What's the problem. Oh, here we go the problem?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Oh god, he's got a six tongue. He wears sockets
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: when they have.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Six What is it? He calls his mum mummy.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is his mum on the lips.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: The problem. We could not be more different.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Oh so you smell like shit.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I'm chaotic, loud, always late, impulsive, and think booking a
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: flight twelve hours before takeoff counts as planning. Did I
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: write this? Yeh shit, I'm like.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: He wakes up at six am to go to the gym,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: owns matching tupperware and once said we can circle back
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: on that during a tiff. Okay, our first day lasted
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: six hours because the chemistry was insane. We flirt constantly.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: The tension is unreal, and every time we're together it
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: feels like a rom com.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, this feels so fun. I'm getting butterflies.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: But day to day, I honestly can't tell if we
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: balance each other out or if we're slowly driving each
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: other insane. Everyone keeps saying opposites attract, but do they
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: actually last? Ken opposites attract?
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: I love that question.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Everyone says opposites to tract, but can they last?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: The opposite?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Am locked in to this relationship for you, I think
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: for you to say such like nice words, please send
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: us a photo of you both, because I'm really invested
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: in this, can't wait for the wedding.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: I have nothing bad to say.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yes, Like, there are so many couples that
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: are the extrovert introvert, you know, type A, type B thing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: You know, one's even in off campus, like one's an athlete,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: one's a musician, Yeah, Taylor's oldest time literally variety of
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: he's a beast, she's a.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Woman, you know, I can't. I love the scene where
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: she's like, is this.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: What with the song?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: She's like, there's something sweet also kind, but this is
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: really strange because what is going on?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Do I want to east?
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: It's always yes, yeah, yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Variety is the spice of life, like that's what makes
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: things fun and interesting. Why would you want to date
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a carbon copy of yourself?
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: The only thing is that, like she's saying, you know
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: if the thing with opposite is like you actually don't
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: see eye to eye and there's no chemistry, and you're like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: what do we even talk about? But she's saying, like
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: their first date lasted six hours. I would like to
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: understand what you were doing for six Yeah, well.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: She said, the tension is unreal.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I love tension. I love whenever I'm reading a book
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: and there's like.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: The push and pull.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah it's great if I feel so creepy because I like,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: obviously don't know these people, but we read it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I know, so I treat it like it's like a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: book all the way she wrote it, as well as
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: essentially a spicy rom car like what we meant to do?
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, But the thing that I will back her up
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: on is if Rob and I were having a Tiffany said, Okay, well,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: we can circle back on that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: I think I would. I'd take the cats and I'd leave.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding, no, corporate speaker, no, no, But maybe
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he just meant like we can discuss that once we're
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: finished discussing what.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anything you could make a
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: joke out of that, though, you could be like circle back,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like you can make a funny joke. Ti hah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: How was the other what was the other things that
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: were like the bad things other than the circle back
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: that was different?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, So so she's chaotic, loud, Yeah, and then he
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: wakes up at six am to go to the gym
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: owns matching tupper air and then yeah, once okay, we
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: circle back, waking up at six am to go to
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the and only matching tappleware has zero to do like
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: with the relationship.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: So if those are the things that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Are like the deal breakers the deal.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Breaker is, then I'm like, we got a pretty good
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: deal on the.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Table here, could you, I think?
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So?
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm like it sounds like she really likes him,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: and like maybe I don't know if I'm projecting, but
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: maybe the amount that she likes him and the amount
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: that this is like actually just working is more intimidating
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: than the idea of opposites attracting and like being like,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: holy shit, this is actually working.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, sure, what if it doesn't last? But what
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: if it does?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly the what if can have a positive twist
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to it, and with opposites attract, I think the only
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: time that it doesn't really work, or one of the
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: times that it doesn't work, is if your core values
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: are opposite. Yes, like if you know.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: You have different political value, different political values, or just
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: like values of how you treat people or respect or
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: even like dynamics in a relationship, Like that's when opposites
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: attract doesn't actually line up and you're probably just not compatible.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But in this instance, a lot of these things are
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: pretty surface level differences between the two of you. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I think for her it's hard because she's the one
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: who may be the more Type B character and he's
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the type A right, and typically Type B people are
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: seen as like messy and chaotic and like they don't
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: have their shit together, But in reality he might help
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: her become more organized, and she might help him loosen
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: up and have fun. I want that, so, like I
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: think she's positioning it like he's got his shit together
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm kind of a mess, and it's like that's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: not actually it. But he likes he likes you because
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you're fun.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: And also I do think like extroverted people or you know,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: that can help bring people out of their shell. It
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: can exactly what you're saying, you can kind of grow together.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: It's kind of like I want to come to the wedding.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: The extroverted, like extroverted girlfriend, introverted boyfriend. I feel like
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: it's a tailor as old as.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: That's a trope.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: It's grumpy sunshine trope.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: That's it, grumby assumption.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, but I know what you mean,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: like kind of serious attract that.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's good to have somebody that can balance
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you out, as long as it is on some of
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: those more line.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: And he'll make the holiday spreadsheet like sorry.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Lucky, yeah, yeah, he'll make the holiday spreadsheet, and then
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you'll be passport yeah. And then you'll be the one
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: that's like gone for a walk to get coffee and
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I actually saw this amazing bar, so
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: like cancel the restaurant reservations because we're actually going there tonight. Hello,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: perfect match.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah I would be the opposite if yeah, please, I
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: made a reservation.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: We're going to the fucking reservation. Okay.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: That was probably my favorite out of all the dilemmas,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and of course, a big thanks to Prime Video. If
• 25:13
