so in this next podcast me and charlie are
going to be asking the people of London
about dating
we're going to be asking about dating
apps like tinder, whether people use them
and what their best and their worst
dates are. So i'm here with Tiffany and
Rebecca in Carnaby Street and I want to
ask you guys a little bit about dating
ok the first question is what do you
think about online dating?
I think I prefer to meet someone in
person but like it's good for people that
can do that
in person but like it's good
for people that can do that
yeah okay and what about yourself? umm
yeah, same thing
ok do you use online dating apps? Umm no..
We use Tinder.. that's
online dating isn't it? Yeah but we don't use it for real..
but we don't use it for real, we just..
You don't use it for real?
but we don't use it for real
You don't use it forreal? what's not
for real? what do you mean by that?
just swiping around just looking at
other people yeah not really...
so judging them giving them a swipe..
what do you think of online dating apps? I
think some of them are a little bit
superficial but if you find love then
yeah, good for you!
but if you find love then, yeah, good for you!
nicely answered yeah.. superficial do you mind
quickly explaining what superficial
means? it's like seeing things ermm with
your eyes and not really thinking about
them... not very deep.. concept..on the surface
on the surface
yeah good okay.. i'm here with Clefford
and Maria my friends from the
Philippines
hello guys what do you guys think.. what
are your opinions about online dating?
I don't know I've never tried it myself
but I mean whatever floats your boat!
I guess yeah it's a great way to like
meet new people and everyone sort of
like they do everything online now so
yeah I think so
it's convenient, right? yeah?
whatever floats your boat and that means everyone
has their own tastes and everyone is
different and we're all wonderful and
that's just fine... i'm here with my
friends
Onaka and Nikita who are from... New York
oh Wow, welcome! How do you guys feel what
your opinions about online dating
websites like tinder and Badoo?
Online dating apps? I don't know Badoo, I've heard of Tinder
and I think it's pretty cool like we
live in a digital world so it's efficient
I think Tinder's actually really funny
when you're like swiping and.. and you're
denying them i think it's actually
really funny I've never been on it but I
saw other people use it.. I think it's
pretty funny and people got dates and
they had like a little long-term
relationship
and so you had a swipe on someone
else's phone?
no I saw them doing it and I thought it was
really funny yeah quite fun
Would you be able to tell me about one of your worst dates
that you've ever had?
you might need a moment to think.. i
would take a while..
oh that was so bad! Yeah that sounds
excellent! Ohh, that was a Tinder date! Oh so..
we're not really just... OH MY GOD! I was
there. You were there? Both of you!?
Alright so.. tell us.
What happened? Ok I thought I was joining the
surf team at our school and so this guy
said OK come along like with the
surfing team, you can meet them all like
we'll just have drinks together, I'm like
okay i'll bring my friends then so I
brought them with me and I thought
we were really gonna meet the whole like team
and then we get there
yeah and there's like him and he's like ohh let me buy these drinks
and stuff, I'm like oh OK
let me buy these drinks and stuff I'm
like okay then he's like oh I've never been on
these dates before. I'm like, this is not a date!
like I'm with my friends. I don't know.. is was really
weird. How did it end? Ermm we just left. Yeah, we just left!
"Oh yeah nice meeting you, gotta go now!"
Best date... What would've been
your best date? Can you remember? I don't
know.. i think it's not really about if
it's a date, sometimes we just have
really good chats with people
yeah it's all about the conversation..
it's about the chat yeah..about the chat! About the chat, yeah..
very very normal way of saying
conversation. What about the worst date?
I haven't really been on any because i
like the person before I say that I'm going
on a date with them. Maybe that's because
you don't go on tinder and you don't do
the blind date thing?
Yeah I think so.
maybe that's because you don't go on
tinder and you don't do the blind date
thing
yeah I think so.. So what's the
moral of the story? Don't go on Tinder!
