My name is Sydney, I'm 26 years old,
I'm an Aries, I love writing, I love making people laugh.
I'm really looking for a partner that can keep up
with my banter, that can make fun of me,
I can make fun of them.
I definitely adhere to what people have to say about Aries,
how they're fiery, passionate.
I'm a total no-nonsense, no-bullshit person.
I really just like to get to the heart of the issue
so I'm looking forward to getting past the small talk
and really getting to the root of the person.

- My name is Saul and I'm a Virgo with Aries ascending.
I like to get things done on time
and obviously I'm a straightforward type of guy.
- So what was your last relationship?
- It was a five-year relationship,
she was from Israel. - That's so far!
- Yeah, it's very far, but that's where I was born, so.
- Oh, cool, my family lives in Israel, actually.
- Oh, you're Jewish? - Yeah, like I was raised
kosher and like, I went to a private Jewish day school.
I had a crab cake for the first time two days ago
and I just don't think I'm gonna go back.
(laughing)
So that's my Jewish experience.
- Yeah, for me I was never really religious
'cause my mom is Jewish but my dad is West Indian.
I respect the religion, I respect Judaism a lot.
You know, it's kind of like, where I come from, basically,
heritage, something I learned from my mom is that, you know,
you don't push your beliefs on people, like.
- People that push their beliefs on people
are the worst people. - That's what I think.
- Like, I'm a vegan.
(record scratch, rewinding)
I had a crab cake for the first time.
Crab cake, crab cake.
I'm a vegan, when I say that and people are like, ah,
vegans are the worst, it's like, I'm just saying what I am,
I did not say, I did not ask, like, you do,
you don't have to be vegan.
I'm literally just saying what I am.
- I also think, like, being vegan is a very expensive choice
because of the, you know, and it's not like an option
that everybody has.
- There's vegan stuff everywhere, I mean,
like, a thing of beans isn't like, expensive.
- So, I mean- - And it also doesn't
rot in your gut.
We didn't have that easy, flowing conversation.
I felt like if I didn't ask him a question
it kinda would have just gone silent.
- We kind of disagreed on a few things
but overall I think it kinda went well.
- I felt like I was kind of carrying the conversation
and that made me uncomfortable.
- Ah, my name is David Ellner, I'm a young 22-year old
and my fire sign is Leo.
- What do you do?
- So, I'm a stand-up comedian. - Oh, cool.
- So basically a professional parent disappointment.
Ah, yeah, so, what do you do?
- I'm a freelance writer, yeah.
What sign are you?
- So I'm a Leo, can't you tell from the luscious locks?
- Oh, I've hated Leos. - I get that a lot.
- Are you religious? - Yeah, you know,
I try to be publicly Jewish, 'cause you know,
I care about my values and who I am.
- Were you raised, like, Orthodox?
- Yes, my family's like modern Orthodox,
so you know, still a part of society,
just keeping all the rules.
- So you're a cool Jew? - Ah, I mean, whatever.
- You can say it! - I'll take the compliment!
- Is your religion important to you in relationships?
- My thing is, like, if you like who I am
you like my religion, then maybe you could on your own
look into it and do whatever path is,
because it's definitely wrong to tell someone to change
who they are for you. - Yeah, I think it's creepy
to ask someone to convert. - Yeah!
- I would prefer my husband to be Jewish,
but, like, on Hinge, I'm not gonna like,
choose the Jewish-only preference.
(laughing)
I just kept thinking he needs a makeover.
Like, he has a great face.
I think he would just look better and less goofy,
but maybe goofy is what he's going for?
- I didn't get those immediate sparks,
I more felt like she's an amazing awesome friend.
- I feel like we would be friends.
- My name is Sam Wagner, I'm a Sagittarius
and I have no idea what that means.
(groovy rock music)
- So what do you do? - I work for Bloomberg,
who was, who is not gonna be our president.
- I see, so who do you think is?
- I don't really like Biden or Bernie.
I thought Warren would have been better than both of them
or people who dropped out awhile ago.
Who do you think should be president?
- I mean, I think, it's a little idealistic to think
that we can go from what we're at now to Bernie,
so that's why I think maybe Biden.
- Are you very political? - I'm not.
- Me neither. - To be honest.
Okay, cool, I'm really glad we're talking about politics.
- Yeah, we got sidetracked.
- So, what's your sign?
- I am a Sagittarius.
I guess I'm supposed to be pretty hot-headed
and argumentative, which can be true.
- Okay, well that's why they paired us, 'cause I'm an Aries
and Aries are like, fiery and opinionated.
- They're lookin' for blood. - Yeah, totally.
But like, I'll win.
I believe in saying what you believe,
I'm not a people pleaser, I don't go out of my way
to make them feel comfortable that I don't like them
I'm just like, we're not a match, that's totally fine,
doesn't say anything about you, not about me.
- So what about right now, how do you think this is going?
- I think it's going well!
Like, would you say I'm your type?
(dial tone)
- I don't know too much about you, but so far, yeah!
I would say there's, there's no,
you haven't done anything wrong.
Not that it's a razor thin edge, but yeah!
- Okay, cool.
I thought my date with Sam went pretty well.
He was nice, he was funny. - It went well,
it went surprisingly well.
We didn't really butt heads ever.
- And I feel like there's more to him
that like, I could get to know.
I feel like I really got to the heart of it
with all three of these guys,
with Saul I don't know if it's really there.
There were a lot of awkward moments and I don't think
we're a match.
David, I liked his energy, it got better as it went on
and I could see us being friends.
With Sam, I don't know if we're necessarily like, soul mates
but I'd like to get to know him better.
