- My ideal woman is like, someone that you see
walking down the street and you're just like, damn!
She's attractive she has a nice smile,
but you see she has a sophistication about her.
- Ideal guy is a little scruffy looking,
maybe a mountian man.
I'm not super picky when it comes to appearance.
It's mostly the things that the appearance
says about you that I'm more interested in.
Like, how long did you spend on you hair today?
(upbeat instrumental music)
You're name is Jayce
and this is your story.
You are 31 years old.
For work, you are in marketing promotion.
Your cultural or ethnic background is black
and maybe Nordic somehow.
- My name is actually Phil, I am 31.
And one of the jobs that I have is in marketing,
like brand rep and I am black.
Not sure that I know what Nordic is,
but I'm not Nordic.
(both laughing)
Your name is Nicole and this is your story.
You are 25.
For work, you are a bartender.
Your cultural, ethnic background I think is Caucasian.
- My name is Meggan.
29 years old.
For work I'm an actor and I am white.
- [Phil] Got it.
- I grew up on a farm.
My Mom rode horses, my Dad was a pilot.
I'm kind of a hippy because like,
I'm really strict about not wasting things
and trying to be sustainable
and I don't use normal shampoo and conditioner on my hair.
- I've had my heart broken with my most recent relationship.
Sometimes it seems like it's just you
and the other person doesn't necessarily
have the same vision as you,
like just completely destroys the relationship.
Your first concert you ever went to was NSYNC.
Your guilty music pleasure is EDM,
and your favorite type of music is pop.
(Meggan laughing)
- Alright, first concert I went to was Meatloaf.
I'm not guilty about EDM, but my guilty pleasure
is probably like emo.
And I'm not a pop person.
My favorite type of music is oldies.
- Okay.
- First concert you ever went to was like, John Legend.
Your guilty musical pleasure is like, emo-ish stuff.
And your favorite type of music is jazz.
- My first concert I ever went to,
my Mom took me to a Janet Jackson concert.
It was a long time ago.
My guilty pleasure is actually like EDM music
and my favorite type of music is hip hop.
When you say emo music, you mean like RnB or like,
slow-- - Emo, like, um.
- Like you're having a breakdown or something?
- I don't know, it's like guys with guitars.
- Okay, okay, they like pour out their emotions
and stuff? - Yeah.
- Oh okay, maybe.
I didn't necessarily grow up with both of my parents.
I lived with my Mom most of my life
and then when I got out of high school
I moved in with my grandmother.
So I was very observant about what's necessary
in order to have a great, stable family.
- My Dad was home a lot, even though he was the worker,
the breadwinner, he was probably around more than my Mom.
He worked probably less than half of the month.
So we always had dinner together,
no matter how much I was fighting with my Mom,
which I did a lot.
The good thing about my Mom
was that she made me super independent.
You want to get married sometime in the future.
Your greatest fear about married life is getting trapped,
and the main role of a man in a marriage is to provide.
The role of a woman in a marriage is to be supportive
and mostly raise the family.
- I do want to get married sometime in the near future.
My greatest fear about married life is being lied to.
The role of the man is definitely the provider
and I think the role of a woman in a marriage
is to support.
You want to get married sometime in the future.
Your greatest fear about being married is being lied to,
and you think the role of a man in a marriage
is to be the leader, and the role of a woman
is to support.
- I don't know if I want to get married
sometime in the future.
My greatest fear about married life is feeling controlled.
The role of a man in a marriage is to just do his thing,
and the role of a woman is to just do her thing.
(Phil laughing)
I don't know, I have weird thoughts on marriage.
I'm a very free bird.
(laughing)
It'd probably be tough for a lot of guys
to deal with.
- I mean, I think I have a general idea
of what you're referring to.
- I grew up in a pretty traditional family.
My Dad worked, my Mom stayed home,
but even so, she was not a normal homemaker wife.
I got from her this sense of,
I just want to do whatever I want.
- As far as like the roles in marriage,
it's just what I've witnessed that works.
Just from having conversations with older people
who are married.
We're like in a new age, but it's still,
you go out on a date, the man pull out your check,
pull out that card, you pay, you provide.
It's not to say the woman is beneath the man,
it's just like, as a man, you just feel better,
you feel better about yourself.
- I have a big fear of like,
guys expecting me to be a certain way.
But all that being said, I feel like such a hypocrite
'cause I do love getting taken out,
a guy paying for it, doing the courting phase.
- Shocker.
- Yeah.
At the beginning, I said, I would date you.
You seemed like sweet, and you actually seemed
a little shy.
And then now, after we have talked,
I've changed my decision.
(laughing)
Sorry.
The traditional roles of marriage and stuff,
I think 'cause I am so afraid of getting pinned down
that I've learned to just be like,
don't even try to wrestle with it.
- Alright.
At the beginning, I said that I would date you.
Like even still after hearing your answers
and how we have certain differences.
I still would date you, because,
just for like you say,
you know how to have a really good time.
- [Meggan] That's awesome.
- I mean, not really disappointed.
It sucked, but you know, you can feel it,
where it was going to go.
Some people would dismiss things
before they even get a chance to test it out.
- I think it's great to kind of get the important
stuff out of the way.
But yeah, I wish I could do this with every,
every potential mate.
(laughing)
It was nice to meet you.
- [Phil] Nice to meet you too.
