I have a group of friends that I play with
and they're my like around my age.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Are there any women?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I would say there's not a ton of single women
I feel like. But it also depends on where you go,
Like that could just be the park that I go to.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Somebody somebody the YouTube chats, can you imagine the winners
on that?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Appy?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
You?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Guys nice? You could sign up for pickle match so
the users they can create profiles and it will it
will feature their skill level and their favorite pro players
and also their courts and you can meet on the
court first if you'd like, before you.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Like you meet up instead of I met you at
a local coffee shop. Oh you went with coffee shop.
I went with.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's perfect instead of instead of like coffee shop taff.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Uh huh instead of a barn, you meet at the
pickleball on the court, right on the court, and they
say that this is designed to break the ice naturally
emphatically shaking.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I think that's a bad first date idea. Wow, why
because you can't really you don't really have a chance
to get to know the person. You're on the opposite
sides of the court.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But don't you think it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Would be less like a job interview than you know,
like a first.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Date where it's a job interview.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
The coffee shop, you know, people like, tell me about yourself,
how it goes into the coffee shop?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I mean, I'm all for activity dates. I just don't
think not a burst is a good one for the
first date.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Oh, I want to come back to that. You've viewed
how long, Well, it's been a while since you've dated.
You've viewed dating as a job interview. That's how it
worked for you. No, it's not what I view.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I think it's what people who are in the dating worldview.
It as based on what I've seen. Kevin, in my right,
you got to get to know each other and that
entails tell me about yourself, where are you from, what
do you do for a living, what's your family like?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It can feel very formal sometimes.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, I wonder your generation is so lonely and miserable.
That's how you're treating the first dates.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
It's screwed up.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I have no chance.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I don't think we need.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Any more dating apps too.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, okay, so there are some interesting dating apps. There's
now the Pickleball dating app. I have a set of
friends who are very happily married and have been for
a long time, who met on the Catholic Match. Apparently
that's a dating app or a Catholic people get together.
There's a farmer website. Is that what it's called. There's
a there's a farmer website of such.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
There's a senior one too. I don't know what that is,
but it's still alive.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I think that with the Catholic one and the farmer one,
I think those are good because you're more likely to
find someone that you have a lot in common with.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But you don't think pickleball is enough to drive you
to some sort of sustain success.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
It's too basic.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I went to a wedding and the couple met on
hinge and they put that in their wedding program that
that's how they met.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
This was years ago. Never mind, No, I don't know
if I want to go to the weekend like this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Ago. I'm getting come a long way.

dates and we had a very good mutual friend and
she was like, so cheering for this, and then it
didn't work out, and she asked her direct She's like,
you and Rob, it was going so well.
