Speaker 1 (00:00):
And yesterday we were talking about dating apps. Is one
(00:02):
called the Fields. It's a US it's two hundred dollars
and you can then attend a new dating experience, but
just spend time in a dark room and doing things
like prolonged eye contact, long hugs. It tries to, you know,
foster connection in a slower, more physical and emotional way.
It sounds very.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It really does.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Is it an app?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Sounds like a meetup?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
It sounds like like a No, it's not an app,
but we want to know how much you've spent for
you know, these experiences with dating experiences. Okay, because like
there's apps out there that you can, you know, look up,
so which ones I.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Don't even know which ones you have to pay for?
They weren't even around when I was.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They weren't. We used to just go to a pub,
did and then their lights come on and you go,
I'm left what I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'll tell you a few years ago I was on there.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
What were you on?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
That's just a bubble, okay, But point being that they're free,
But then you keep getting asked to spend money, so
you turn up more and you get more matches and
stuff like that. So I feel like that's how people
following a trapper.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
They you might match with someone, but.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
You don't know what you're missing out on. You could
be meeting all these other hot, more attractive, wonderful people
that you don't know about.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
People spend more and you'll find out other people are
spending money to be on those different apps, and then
you spend money to meet up with those.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Well I didn't spend the money, but that's what they kept.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
How do you know if you're in the free section
or they not free section?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's cold it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Like you know, do they just put the good looking
people in the paid for section and they put the
the mill people at the pasture people in the free
in the free sections?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Do you like chops? I like chops, Go Go pops
and playing video games? Do you where you're going?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Just such a shame you're off the market.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, he's such a lucky lady, just in those three
personality chops, cocoa pops and video games.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Wow. Yeah, you're welcome that contact therapy that I was
talking about. The fields you reckon it's healthy or a
bit of a gimmick.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I kind of see what they're trying to do. They're
trying to make people actually be around each other because
I don't think people can make conversation anymore. Hearing a
story about it, a guy he was at a bar
with a friend. The guy that one of the guys
was married but his friend was single. He saw this
gorgeous girl and the mate goes, we'll just go up
and talk to her, and he goes, I can't do that,
(02:40):
And so he went to all of the profile things
that they could have been, Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, trying to
find her so he could send her a message from
across the room because he couldn't actually walk up. And
you know, they're saying the pickup line is dead, but
it's like, you gotta have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, way creepier, isn't it just stalking her?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
He's sitting there going and then all of a sudden,
your phondings, it's the guy standing behind you. I'm pretty
sure screams something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
At some stage, the toilets Hello, we want to know
what your experiences are, how people? How much did you pay?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Oh? I didn't pay anything? Really, yeah, I didn't want
to pay the money in case I didn't like it. Oh,
and so I just stayed as a free member and
it did restrict me in a lot of ways. Yeah,
and I'd never been on a dating site before, and
within two weeks I had like two hundred and something
(03:40):
likes and all these weird messages coming through.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
See you fancy girl?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Did you were attempted to pay the money to see No?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
No, no no. And then I did notice the gentleman. Yeah,
I thought, wow, he's really nice, and he had noticed
me as well, and he contacted me, sir. Yeah, and
and it just met really really well. And next week
we move in together. Oh wow, Carol, we've been together
(04:14):
five months and yeah, that's really true. Works really really
well and he's just amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Started making happy Carol. Sorry, that's away from watching at
the moment. Anyway, continue a bit of talking to Carol
carrying from Southport. How much did you spend on dating apps?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
I was on Tinder and I've met my partner, but
now it's only been a month. It's only just news.
So but previously, before I was with him, I also
had like pos plenty.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Of fish okay.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
And then there's hinge yeah, bumblebee, I think there was.
I wasn't on all of us.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I say that it would be busy.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You're just going to play like the play store and
app and all these other dating sites.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Okay, yeah, but did you spend some cash on them
or did you just do the free versions?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I was just like looking at blurred vision pictures and
see I paid about it was about thirty dollars, I think.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Okay, dollars a month. Describe So is that on all
of them?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Just to keep the just on that one?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I think so far they're a different prices.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, what do you mean they were blurred? Thought you
couldn't see the rest of your face or.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
No, No, it's like someone had liked you, so you go, okay,
someone liked me. All these other pictures but it was
like a blur. It's like, it's not because if you got.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So, you have to be a certain level of person
on there, so you would be able to see everybody
if you pay. That's ridiculous crap.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's worked out, though, hasn't it?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Well?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It worked out?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Was it?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Hopefully it was the free version.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Yes, it was played okay for the one in Tinder.
I've got my partner. But the most weirdest thing ever
is that we both share the same birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh were you born in the same place?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
No, No, definitely have the same mother and father.
