The Single Life: A Funny Video on Online Dating
Published on June 22, 2011
Update: Additional episodes included below
Dentyne (that’s right, the gum people) have created a new video series called The Single Life that is a funny look at online dating. In the first episode, included below, we are shown two singles creating their dating profiles and a lot of humor (and truth) are shown:
A couple of thoughts from my point of view for those who might have missed the tongue in the cheek and might take the video as gospel:
- Most important part of your profile is your photo! The guys put exactly the amount of time into picking a user name as you should.
- “Does it make me sound like a whore?”, “Um…yeah but that’s great”…found that very funny!
- I wouldn’t lie about my height in my profile…although I am 6 foot. Really! I am! Seriously though, I recommend honest profiles as I discuss in my dating guide. I think it pays off in the long run.
- Romcom: romantic comedy. I had to Google that…hopefully I’m not the only one.
- Lying in regards to the perfect first date…okay, I guess that makes sense!
- “Do I drink? Uh…uhhhh…”
- Great advice at the end of the video 🙂
So I was really surprised at the quality of this video…I really liked it. I’ll look forward to posting the rest of these as they become available. We’ll have to see if the future videos give us as much to chew on (buh dum bump).
Part 2
Here’s part two. Again, a good mix of funny stuff and online dating truth.
Favorite line: “Just think of it like Facebook stalking only this time they’re also looking at pictures of you”
Oh, and if you get to the point like Kip did in this video where you are asking yourself, “Now what do I write?”, here’s my take on that: Online Dating First Messages.
