From subtle self-loathing to impulsive decision-making, we break down what your online dating answers really say about you… and why the dating world might be even crazier than you thought.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the dating world is a terrible place.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Sitible show, and if you need any more proof of that,
relationship backs Versus have just released what your dating profile
prompt says about you, and we'll go over it next
so you can see just how desperate you really are.
Right after this sole show, what does your dating profile
prompt say about you? It's a double show, I'll tell
you right now because a team of psychologists just released
(00:22):
a study that says that your dating profile prompt can
say everything about you and your personality. If you don't
know what a dating profile prompt is, it's like a short,
pre written question or phrase on a dating app that
you answer to help show off your personality. Think of
it as a conversation started as something like my most
useless skill is? Or do truth and a lie? Or
(00:43):
the hallmark of a good relationship is blank. The prompts
are designed to help break the ice and make profiles
more interesting and relatable than just photos and stats. So
what does your dating profile prompt say about you? Well,
if you use my most useless is, these team of
psychologists say that you might have performative self deprecation syndrome.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Syndrome. Why can't it just be funny. I think we
appreciate self deprecation.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, they say subjects frequently weaponize humility to lower expectations
while inviting approval. It's correlated with high levels of passive
ambition and subtle self loathing master's charm.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
How did this become a weapon and a syndrome all
the same time. This is wild.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I feel like they're maybe reading a little too far
into things, but who knows? I think so.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It seems psychologists just released what your dating profile prompt
says about you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
If you use I'll fall for.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You if and then you're supposed to fill in the blank,
it says that you could have conditional affect complex.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Wowac they got serious thought.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It says it displays dependency on external validation, likely to
attach romantic significance to minor gestures, elevated risk of emotional
whiplash in early stage interactions.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I feel like it was more of a I'll fall
for you if you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
So I'm not sure where this whole explanation came from.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Someone got really burned whoever wrote this list? For real?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Do either of you guys, Nina and Victoria, use prompts
on your dating profiles.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, my one favorite like prompt that I use all
the time that always gets people like to send messages
when I'm on. I'm on and off right now, but
I go back and forth between the apps. But it's
just like what your favorite random fact is, and what
do you say for yours? I'm going to tell you
it's actually really cute. Did you know that otters hold
hands when they go to sleep so they don't float
(02:39):
away from each other? And so I said that, and
so then it's always cute and it invites all kinds
of weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know, what do you get back?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Like, what does a guy say that, Oh, that's cute.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
We could be honors.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I wouldn't let you float away.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think the answers tell you more about who the
person is than stupid question. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
See, I'm glad that I never really was on the
dating apps because my starters would be weird, My prompts
would be weird. When you said that, all I could
think of. Did you know vanilla extract come from beaver's
anal glands?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Do you know what you say that?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I had to do a deep dive in research yeah,
it does, but not ill do Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Wait pause, vanilla extract A lot of it comes from
Beaver's anal glands.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
How do you know that?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Why do you know that? But not all vanilla?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Because I had to look at the vanilla in my cupboard,
and because after Jubile said that, I was like, I'm
not bacon before. I know what.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's gross?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I know, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But you see what just happened here. This was a
conversation here, it was a conversation starter. And now now
you're in, and now we're in.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I don't know what human was the one that figured
that out. Whoever it was, they should be locked up.
I mean, vanilla extract is good, but how did they
figure that out?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I don't like that, I know that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
But see, the more you reveal on, the weirder it is,
the more likely you are to connect with somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
A lot of the proms are just, am my opinion, dumb,
and they're just like the answers are very basic.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
And I tried for the first time.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Ish like not using a dating website to meet a guy,
and I met a guy where it was out of town,
like it was through a friend. Okay, okay, And I
was very proud of myself that, like, I started talking
to this guy.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I found out this weekend while he's messaging me he's
with another girl in another city and he's like been
with so many other people and probably has something.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
And I'm like, are you why are you? How do
you have this time to message me?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's just like someone dating a yes, and it's crap.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, it's no different. Actually, i'd be more mad at
your friends for she up with somebody.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
She probably would.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Know, well, she didn't know.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I told her this weekend that I had been talking
to him, and she's like, oh, so, Torian.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He's very nice, he's very sweet, but be careful with him.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Tooria, maybe you could be the one to change him,
you know that, putting in that effort and change.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That, hope, Victoria.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I mean, yeah, he's kind of hard to talk to,
but he ain't gonna get any there out of me
with everywhere.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Else he's been sleeping.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We need to text him a prompted text one of
the prompts and see how you respond.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
That seems psychologists just release what your dating profile prompt
says about you and they really went deep with it.
If you use the dating prompt, my most the most
spontaneous thing I've done is blank. It's the diagnosis they
give is impulsive decision fatigue disorder. What it could have
It suggests disregulated planning faculties. Subjects often display thrill seeking
(05:25):
tendencies and an underdeveloped risk assessment filter.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I think what we're learning is if you use the
apps at all, your psycho.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Pretty much you've got a disorder. There's something wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
That's why.
