- Whew!
Thank goodness we swiped on that one!
Yikes.
- No! She'd send me a message and then I'd look at her name
and then be like, wait!
- I don't deserve to date anybody at this point.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So what are your opinions on online dating?
- I think it's definitely very modern.
It's kinda how everyone meets each other now.
- I'm kind of in the generation where online dating
kind of introduced itself, so I tried some apps, you know,
and there was some successes
and there was some things that were just like, mmm, nope.
This is really awkward.
(laughing)
- If you work a lot, if you don't go out that much,
don't really have, you know, people to introduce you
to other people, it's a great way to meet people.
- (FBE) So, obviously, different dating apps show
different amounts of information, and types of information
but they all prominently feature a single photo.
What do you think of that system?
- I feel like it's kinda bad, just because,
from my own experience, I'd rather just post
a goofy picture of myself, but a lot of people
don't really like that because it's like you have to look
super sculpted and perfect.
- When you see someone, you know whether
you're attracted to them or not.
That's not necessarily a shallow thing.
There has to be an attraction there of something
before you get to know somebody.
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna play a little bit of a game.
We're gonna show you less recognizable images
of historical figures and famous faces and challenge you to decide
whether you would date them.
- Oh, for sure. Okay, okay, interesting.
- (FBE) You're gonna have a full one second
to see that picture. - Oh, the whole one second.
Thank you.
So I could swipe on Abraham Lincoln, is what you're telling me?
Okay, for sure.
- I feel like she'd be someone really cool
to hang out with, so I'd match.
- Oh, I know who that is. We have the same name.
- Yeah, yeah.
- No, let's make sure I did this right.
- I already know.
- I'm gonna say pass.
- (FBE) All right, you just passed on Ariana Grande!
- That was Ariana Grande?! What?
- I want to match with her.
I want to go have coffee with Ariana.
- See, she seemed like fun and quirky.
Like I'm just gonna take a cute little selfie,
but also I just got out of the pool, so I like summer.
- The pose was really immature, and I feel like that's
not something that I would look for in a partner.
- I'm not gonna get with "Thank U, Next"
after two months, you know, knowing her dating history.
- That was such a beautiful second.
I don't know who that is, but I'm matching.
I just saw a microphone and I got excited.
I love a singer.
- Um, yeah, he looked handsome.
- Left swipe.
- Mm-mm. No.
- (FBE) Match? - A match!
- Nope.
Ain't trying to deal with that drama.
- I do go for the ladies, but since this is an open format,
I can't say he's the best looking dude,
so I had to go to the other way.
- I'm gonna match because I think that's
Robert De Niro.
- (FBE) So you just passed on financial adviser Bernie Madoff,
who was the operator of the largest Ponzi scheme in history,
stealing $18 billion.
- I knew that was bad news there.
- (FBE) He's currently serving a 150 year prison sentence.
- And I'm now a mob wife, apparently.
- He's in prison, so I get my space.
Good choice.
- I'm gonna match because she looks like
she's interesting, like she has a lot of stories to tell.
- I love a working woman.
That's the sexiest one I've seen so far.
- Let's do right.
- I'm gonna go yes.
- Okay, uh, no.
- Yeah, I'd probably go yeah.
(laughing)
- I just passed because I feel like there's no way
she'd probably look at my account because that's Marilyn Monroe
and she's probably flooded. Not gonna waste her time.
- I'm gonna swipe left.
- (FBE) So you just passed on Marilyn Monroe.
- Oh! Oh. Oh. We can go back.
- That was a super old picture of her then
because that wasn't like her iconic look.
- Woo! (laughing)
She had a very nice, classic look to her.
There was something about her being in a tool shed, working on something,
that was also attractive.
- She's was like, yes, I can dress nice.
I'm all cute with my cute hair.
I'm working.
I earned my coin.
I will take you out to a nice dinner.
I loved that one.
We're back in the day, me and her.
I'm gay, so that was like...
- (humming)
I don't know who that is.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- I'm sorry. Maybe I come off really picky, but I gotta
pass on that one too.
- Let's match. Let's match.
- (sighing) No.
- Mm-mm. Nope.
- Something about red shirts really bothers me,
so I'm gonna pass.
That's so superficial. I'm sorry!
(ding)
- (FBE) Congratulations! You just matched with David Beckham!
- Cool. All right, that's dope.
That's cool.
- (FBE) So you just passed on David Beckham.
- Did I? But I love David Beckham.
(laughing) I think he's such a handsome man,
but I passed on him at that time.
Yeah, I was like, no. Sike!
- I don't know.
That was a very cheesy smile. I'm not gonna lie.
He lowkey looked like he would be a serial killer.
- I could have been married to David Beckham,
but because of his choice of shirt colors, I passed.
I don't deserve to date anybody at this point.
- We're gonna pass on that one.
- I pass.
- I'm gonna say no. I don't know why,
but I'm just gonna say no.
- I don't know. Hmmmm. Eh, no.
I would swipe on that one.
- Okay! All right.
I'm gonna have to go with blondie.
Yeah!
- No. I'd know that face anywhere. (laughing)
- So I saw that and I was like, oh, she looks good,
and then I realized in my head she was Tomi Lahren
and I instantly passed before I even rethought
about her looks because, you know what,
she's ugly on the inside.
- You know why I'm gonna go swipe right on her?
Because I'm not afraid to, you know, conversate
with people with opposing views, and apparently we have
the same birthday. Yeah.
- Based on look, I'm like, okay, girl. Hey!
Yeah, but, you know, after the first date,
we'd be like, no.
- I'm gonna say match just so she can teach me
how to do the splits.
- I'll say yeah. Yeah.
- I don't know who that was, but she was pretty flexible.
Let's go.
- I'm gonna swipe. She seems like she's cool.
- I'm interested.
- I know that face but, you know, I'm not down with the cheerleaders.
- Is that Farrah Fawcett?
She had cool Farrah Fawcett style hair.
Match.
- (FBE) All right, so you just swiped yes on Kellyanne Conway.
- Pffft. I'm done.
I'm outta here. No more!
- Ah, ah. Bummer.
- We all make bad decisions once or twice. It's okay.
- I'd still swipe right though.
- No! She'd send me a message and then I'd look
at her name and be like, wait!
- I'm gonna pass.
- Looked a little too frat guy-ish, so we'll say no.
- I'm gonna say pass.
- You can't show me somebody just staring into my soul like that,
all dreamy and stuff. It's a match for me.
- I feel like he's gonna be a bad guy,
but he looked handsome.
- I'm just gonna swipe left because I heard
that dude's wildin'.
- Oh... that's Clinton.
But for Hillary's sake, I'll have to pass. (laughing)
- (FBE) Looking out for other ladies-- - Yes!
- (FBE) You just matched with Bill Clinton!
- OH! (laughing) Could have been worse.
But, like, oh, well. He was handsome at the time.
- Oh, my god. If I was straight, I would be Monica Lewinsky.
- (sighing) He was such a looker when he was young.
It's like, oh, gosh!
- Okay, I'm sorry, Bill.
It wasn't meant to be for you and I.
- Oof.
- Oh, I don't know what the hell happened,
but did not look pretty.
There's a lot of weird shit going on with that.
I'm gonna swipe left on that.
- Ricky Martin? Hell yeah!
- That's Ricky Martin. Ah, yeah.
We're gonna match Ricky Martin.
- Based on looks, I'ma have to go yes.
- That would be one of those photos where I'm like why were you
taking a photo of yourself in front of a hotel
or a room in the background. That's a little weird.
We'll go with that. We'll match that one.
- Something about those hats was giving me bad vibes, though,
so I'm gonna pass.
- (FBE) All right, that was Ricky Martin.
- Was it? Really?
He's a great guy, very handsome.
I just get very thrown off by certain things sometimes!
I'm like, hat... could be a douche.
- Mm-hmm.
- That's a sick photo. Matching.
- I'm gonna pass.
- Oh, that's Malcolm X, right?
I'ma match that.
- Let's go grab some coffee.
What's up with your life?
- He's pretty dope. I'd match.
- Malcolm X. Match.
- I would pass on his earlier days because I felt like
he was acting a fool, but he grew into himself
and he grew, so later Malcolm, I'll have to say it's a match.
- (FBE) So you just matched with Malcolm X.
- YES! Okay.
- See, a lot of these people, I would match with
just to sit down and have a conversation with them.
That's literally it.
- No, because of the hat.
- I love her hat.
I don't know who she is though.
- Okay, I'm gonna say pass.
- Match.
- She looks very sad. I can fix that. Swipe right.
- I'm gonna have to say no.
- The picture alone is kinda boring.
She's looking down.
Not even looking at the-- I can't see her eyes
to know her personality a little better,
like look into her soul.
That's weird.
Um... so I'm gonna go with no.
- She looks like a nice woman, so I feel like I should say yes,
and I feel like I'm about to be very disappointed.
- (FBE) So that was Anne Hamilton-Byrne.
She was a cult leader in Australia in the 1970s
who believed she was the second coming of Jesus,
and she prepared children for the Apocalypse by giving them LSD.
- Oh! (laughing) Oh.
- Whew! Thank goodness we swiped on that one.
Yikes.
- He looks familiar. He looks very familiar.
He's in the army. We love a man in uniform.
Swipe right.
- I pass because I feel like I know who
the hell that is.
- I'm gonna say pass.
- He has an untrustworthy smile to me, so I'm gonna pass.
- No.
- Okay, so guy in uniform.
You know, he's doing something for his country,
wherever he's from.
Yeah. Yeah, let's go grab some coffee.
Let's go see what's up.
So let's... yes.
- (groaning) Gross.
No, I'll pass.
- See, I'm conflicted.
My gut tells me pass.
- (FBE) Congratulations, you just matched with Donald Trump!
- Oh, my god. (wheezing)
- I don't know what to do. This is awful!
- As much as you might dislike him,
I would still have a conversation with him.
- Okay, um... she looks like trouble.
I don't need any trouble.
- Oh, my god!
I don't know who that is, but she looks like me,
so cool.
- Let's hit pass.
- And nothing seemed weird about the photo.
So we'll say yeah. We'll say yeah.
- (gasping)
- I'm gonna swipe right on it.
- Yeah, I like a little goth girl.
- (FBE) All right, so that was actually Lady Gaga!
- Okay! I love her.
- Shut up! Yes, I'm excited.
- All right!
(sighing in relief) Okay, that makes up for the Trump one.
Oh, my god.
- I'm surprised that I knew right away,
but I'm like, there's something in her stare, in her gaze,
that's like, yes.
It was like I feel the monster and I feel it.
- If I actually matched with her, I don't think I could handle it
and I think I would drop dead.
- There's something about her eyes.
- Mm-hmm.
It's a match.
- Maybe someone I should recognize, but I don't at the moment.
But I would say yes.
I'm gonna swipe yes.
- Yeah, a match. A match.
- Is this Rihanna?
I love her.
- Ri-Ri, when she first came out, would be yes for me.
But now it would be a no for me.
Although I hear she smells really, really good.
- Swipe right.
I'm gonna swipe right on that. Who's that?
- (FBE) That was Rihanna! - Oh, yes!
So happy.
- Rihanna's eyes, I can never miss Rihanna's eyes.
That's a match. That's a good one.
- I knew it! I was like... hmm, those lips.
Yeah, no, I love Rihanna.
Of couse, I match with Rihanna.
- (FBE) Do you think that one second is enough time
to make a decision about somebody?
- I feel like that's all it takes for us to judge someone,
the first time we see it until they open their mouth,
so one second probably still isn't enough.
- Just kind of goes to show based off of that one picture,
you kinda have to put your best picture forward.
You have to make sure that you can encapsulate
as much of you in that one picture
to grab somebody's attention before they actually get to know you,
and sometimes that's good because it keeps me away
from Donald Trump.
- I don't know. You can't judge a book
by its cover but it's a good way to kind of navigate your way
through the masses.
- It's important to meet people and give them a chance.
You know, go out on a date or, you know,
have lunch with them or something, and just, you know,
find out some things.
They may be an attractive person or you may just,
for some reason, be attracted to them, and then you go out with them
and then you find out, oh, they're a complete psycho.
Maybe I should not be interested in this person anymore.
