00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:03.867
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
00:00:03.867 --> 00:00:05.913
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.
00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:11.029
So I found out, the guy that I've been dating is married With kids.
00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:13.173
His wife just reached out to me.
00:00:15.461 --> 00:00:16.603
Welcome to the Meat Market.
00:00:16.603 --> 00:00:19.771
The single scene is a slaughterhouse and we are here to devour it.
00:00:19.771 --> 00:00:20.702
We are your hosts.
00:00:20.702 --> 00:00:25.253
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess and today's sizzling single is Shelby Welcome.
00:00:25.253 --> 00:00:26.925
We got a Midwest girl in the house, woohoo.
00:00:26.925 --> 00:00:27.547
Midwest girls are your hosts.
00:00:27.568 --> 00:00:28.891
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess and today's sizzling single is Shelby Welcome.
00:00:28.891 --> 00:00:30.356
We got a Midwest girl in the house, midwest girls are the best.
00:00:30.376 --> 00:00:33.566
So you've made the comment that you were born in the wrong generation.
00:00:33.566 --> 00:00:36.512
What generation do you feel like you fit in best?
00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:57.494
Oh gosh, I don't know, but I feel like, um, mostly I feel like that comment comes from me having a hard time relating to people my age, like I feel like the conversation is always so much deeper and more intentional when I'm talking to people that are, like I don't know, 20 years older than me, for some reason.
00:00:58.176 --> 00:01:12.183
And that's maybe because I was actually having a conversation with a friend of mine and we were like, yeah, we grew up in a small town, so like wherever our parents went, they took us so we were constantly surrounded by their friends and it's like I don't know.
00:01:12.183 --> 00:01:16.953
I think that kind of maybe just stayed with me like growing up.
00:01:17.054 --> 00:01:29.274
I was like oh, it's easier for me to talk to people that are like 20 years older, so you're an old soul well and in the small towns, too, it takes a while for things to catch up right, yeah like I was just home last week and my dad was balancing the checkbook.
00:01:29.274 --> 00:01:35.278
Like sitting down at his desk, writing in the checkbook ledger that comes with the checkbook.
00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:36.081
Like because that's still.
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:44.260
That's what in small towns it takes time for, like technology like electronic banking.
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:45.368
You know what I mean.
00:01:45.368 --> 00:01:45.893
We have.
00:01:45.893 --> 00:01:54.647
We have electronic banking at our hometown bank, but it's like some of those things don't actually become daily life for people in a small town.
00:01:54.647 --> 00:01:59.100
So it does feel like you're sort of living in a little bit of an older time.
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:00.522
I feel like for sure.
00:02:00.563 --> 00:02:03.507
and then I feel like I was just what was I saying the other day?
00:02:03.507 --> 00:02:23.563
That it's like I was bartending at the bar that I work at and this guy and I were talking about our traumatic experiences dating and he's from a small town and he was saying that well, you grew up in a small town, so if somebody does you wrong, then where it's going to get around Because it's such a small town, well, like here.
00:02:23.563 --> 00:02:25.389
So you're kind of cultured in that sense.
00:02:25.389 --> 00:02:31.370
But like you move here to a place like a bigger city and you start dating and you realize like gosh, people are mean.
00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:33.668
And then you're like wait, no, people aren't mean.
00:02:33.668 --> 00:02:37.790
I grew up in a place where reputation was like everything yeah.
00:02:37.790 --> 00:02:43.227
And here if you like do somebody wrong, you can kind of run away and disappear.
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:44.603
That would be awful.
00:02:44.603 --> 00:02:48.445
Living in a small town where if you're sexual with someone, everyone knows about it?
00:02:48.445 --> 00:02:50.506
Oh God, I would hate that.
00:02:50.506 --> 00:02:52.425
Yeah, and everyone dates everyone.
00:02:52.425 --> 00:02:53.247
Yeah.
00:02:54.401 --> 00:02:55.667
The pickings are slim.
00:02:55.727 --> 00:02:57.705
in a small town, Straight from the bottom of the barrel.
00:03:00.462 --> 00:03:02.569
There's things that are charming about it.
00:03:02.569 --> 00:03:09.930
I walk into the bank and it's like the bank teller goes to the back to get my bank statement and she's like all excited because she can save a stamp.
00:03:09.930 --> 00:03:13.609
She's like I don't have to send your bank statement to Arizona this month, you know.
00:03:13.609 --> 00:03:17.039
So it's like cute, like there's charm right in the small towns.
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:38.182
But then my small town, for example, my dad is one of nine and there's 600 people that live in the town that I'm from, and so when you know your cousins, first cousins or second cousins, with pretty much the entire town, it makes it really hard to, yeah, to date, to have a social life.
00:03:38.484 --> 00:03:39.405
Are you on the dating apps?
00:03:39.405 --> 00:03:41.366
I'm not, no have you been?
00:03:41.426 --> 00:03:44.491
on the dating apps no, not really like before.
00:03:44.491 --> 00:03:48.335
I was married um so 2013.
00:03:48.335 --> 00:03:53.830
Um, because I met my ex-husband in 2014, I was on it for a little bit and then.
00:03:53.871 --> 00:03:56.302
I met him and I was like he's the love of my life.
00:03:56.302 --> 00:03:57.605
Like they deleted them.
00:03:57.605 --> 00:04:04.008
When I moved out here um a little over two years ago, my roommate was like just get on bumbleumble.
00:04:04.008 --> 00:04:07.167
And I was like, all right, Like you can't knock something until you try it.
00:04:07.167 --> 00:04:10.727
So I went on a couple dates and I was like, yeah, this just isn't for me.
00:04:11.329 --> 00:04:11.689
I don't know.
00:04:12.031 --> 00:04:12.671
Something about it.
00:04:12.939 --> 00:04:14.907
And you met your ex-husband on the app.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:28.884
No, we actually met in college in our class that we were in together, yeah, and if you don't mind me asking, why did that not work out?
00:04:28.884 --> 00:04:31.509
Oh gosh, um, I was like thinking about what kind of questions are you gonna ask me when I'm on the podcast?
00:04:31.509 --> 00:04:35.081
Um, ultimately, like it was our communication.
00:04:35.081 --> 00:04:42.928
I think too now, when I think back about it, we were so I say we're, I say this to people, I'm like we were so young, but we, we weren't.
00:04:42.928 --> 00:04:48.745
We just like, I think ultimately I I didn't know how to communicate.
00:04:49.206 --> 00:05:01.516
Um, and so I was like just at this place where I felt like I couldn't talk about how I was, like how I was growing, and then I just didn't.
00:05:01.516 --> 00:05:05.391
And then I felt so distanced and like alone and I just was like this isn't working and I didn't.
00:05:05.391 --> 00:05:13.274
And then I felt so distanced and like alone and I just was like this isn't working and I didn't take marriage seriously, like, um, honestly, how old were you when you got married?
00:05:13.274 --> 00:05:21.610
When I was, when I got married, I was 26 and when we got divorced, I was 28 people underestimate the power and importance of communication.
00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:29.201
I feel I feel like we talk about this in every episode the importance of communication if you just communicate correctly, I feel you could solve a lot of your problems.
00:05:29.201 --> 00:05:40.973
And knowing your own communication style and what works for you and what you need and asking for what you need because I feel like a lot of people just don't ask for what they need.
00:05:41.341 --> 00:05:48.165
No, and I think that's my problem too, like I've done so much work in getting to know myself over I don't know.
00:05:48.165 --> 00:05:54.365
We've been divorced for almost four years now and it's like I feel like I know what I need.
00:05:54.365 --> 00:06:08.961
But even dating here and there over the past year, I'm just like I could have totally just been, like I need you to sit down and tell me what you want to do for a date like this is what I need from you.
00:06:08.961 --> 00:06:12.189
But I just I'm like how, why can I not say that?
00:06:12.610 --> 00:06:12.891
is it?
00:06:12.891 --> 00:06:16.206
Do you think that deep down it's because you know that that person isn't your person?
00:06:16.206 --> 00:06:29.165
Yeah, and so then, kind of, what's the point like, if you know it's gonna be maybe a couple dates here or there, why do you, you know, why, put all the effort in to trying to do that?
00:06:29.165 --> 00:06:29.565
Maybe?
00:06:29.925 --> 00:06:32.310
yeah, I 100% yeah, because.
00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:40.060
I feel like, too, things shouldn't feel like they have to be forced, so true yeah, if they do feel like they're being forced and it's probably not meant to be.
00:06:40.081 --> 00:06:48.035
Yeah, yeah, I feel like it should just come with ease, but I know that, like anything good takes hard work, you know.
00:06:48.035 --> 00:07:00.254
And relationships are like good relationships, marriage is like hard work, but I think that, like, it shouldn't be to the point where you're like losing yourself or you know.
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:17.846
And do you still feel like you know and do you still feel like you know right away, like, do you feel like you know right off the bat if it's going to be a significant relationship not necessarily that if it's going to be the person that you're going to be with forever, but do you feel like you kind of know right away if it's going to be a significant?
00:07:17.867 --> 00:07:20.740
I always could, I feel like I can too I can.
00:07:21.101 --> 00:07:51.264
I feel like I can always tell away, yeah, how deep I want to get into, like letting the person know what I need from them, or what my expectations are, what my boundaries are, because if I know like, oh, this is just going to be a casual thing, it's not going to go very far, I'm like why should I sit here and explain to you, you know, and you made a comment which I feel like yes, relationships are work if it's long term, like a marriage.
00:07:51.586 --> 00:07:56.845
But I feel a lot of people stress in the first three months and it's a lot of work so early on.
00:07:56.845 --> 00:08:00.120
And if so early on, you're having issues and it's a lot of work and you're stressing.
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.086
It's not where that that should be the honeymoon phase.
00:08:02.086 --> 00:08:08.081
Right, I feel like you should run if it's that much work that early on, because then can you imagine how much work it is later down the road.
00:08:08.463 --> 00:08:13.699
Oh, yeah, that's why I'm just the time that I've spent over this past year with myself.
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:18.815
I'm like, no, I'm not gonna hold back anymore with communication.
00:08:18.815 --> 00:08:22.867
I'm gonna ask the hard questions, right good and this last guy that I dated.
00:08:22.927 --> 00:08:32.621
I was asking like the hard questions and I could feel that he didn't really know the answer, which was totally fine, but it made me think, okay, our timing is just not right.
00:08:32.621 --> 00:08:42.610
So, yeah, I feel like those those kind of conversations have to come like in a fluid way, or else it feels forced do you want to get married again?
00:08:42.630 --> 00:08:43.572
are you looking to have kids?
00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:47.808
yeah, yeah, I want to get married and I want like a big family.
00:08:47.808 --> 00:09:03.807
But I know that I feel like I have to just trust in God's timing because in the past I feel like I forced things because I was trying to like control the outcome of my future, like this pressure of society's expectation how old are you?
00:09:03.826 --> 00:09:04.450
you're still young.
00:09:04.470 --> 00:09:07.904
I'm 32 just turned 32 did you and your ex-husband try to have kids?
00:09:07.904 --> 00:09:11.292
No, no, um, no, we talked about.
00:09:11.292 --> 00:09:21.913
We talked about it and had the conversation, obviously like before we got married and everything but, um, like after the year of our the first like year of our marriage, I was like I'm gonna have kids.
00:09:21.913 --> 00:09:29.568
Covid happened not long after we got married and I think that my brain was just like what next?
00:09:29.568 --> 00:09:38.346
Yeah, so I look back at it now and I'm just like I felt like he kept pumping the brakes slow down, but I was like, no, let's go.
00:09:38.346 --> 00:09:45.461
And then I look back at it now and I'm just like it was timing, like everything was timing when was your last relationship?
00:09:46.464 --> 00:09:51.354
my last relationship was about a year ago, like over a year how long was that?
00:09:51.354 --> 00:09:57.610
For we dated for like about nine months okay that was here, yeah, and why did that my?
00:09:57.610 --> 00:10:00.061
First really in like only act.
00:10:00.061 --> 00:10:03.206
I consider that a relationship um.
00:10:03.206 --> 00:10:04.389
Did you meet him on bubble?
00:10:04.408 --> 00:10:04.429
I.
00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:08.567
I've dated like guys for about a month and I just don't consider those relationships.
00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:11.966
So it's when people ask me that I'm like what do you consider a relationship?
00:10:12.368 --> 00:10:16.408
Yeah, no, I met him at the bar that I worked at at the time he was a customer.
00:10:16.971 --> 00:10:22.148
Yeah, is that a red flag If a guy's constantly at a bar?
00:10:22.148 --> 00:10:24.182
Because I dated a guy, if a guy's constantly at a bar because I dated a guy?
00:10:24.182 --> 00:10:27.427
The last guy I dated was last summer.
00:10:27.427 --> 00:10:30.211
It was last July and we dated for about a month.
00:10:30.211 --> 00:10:43.807
But I knew him, I'd known him for years and it was like we ran back into each other and he was like hey, you're single, I'm single now, why don't we go out for drinks?
00:10:43.807 --> 00:10:44.509
Ok, cool.
00:10:44.509 --> 00:10:54.042
So we went on a few dates, um, but it bothered me that he didn't have really any other hobbies besides just going and sitting at the bar.
00:10:54.042 --> 00:10:59.000
Like if he didn't have anything to do on the afternoon, he would just go sit at the bar.
00:11:00.341 --> 00:11:00.902
Yeah, and I.
00:11:00.902 --> 00:11:12.570
I never want to talk like badly about any of my past relationships, but he did do that, yeah, and he did have hobbies, though, too, which was what attracted me to him.
00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:27.183
He was really into CrossFit, and he wasn't really into his job, too, which made me believe that he was a very passionate person, which I was also very attracted to and um but it just didn't turn out that way.
00:11:27.585 --> 00:11:30.110
Yeah, but the bar was more important.
00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:31.821
So does he still come to the bar?
00:11:31.821 --> 00:11:35.347
No, so I had to find a new bar.
00:11:35.347 --> 00:11:38.114
Yeah, um, yeah.
00:11:38.114 --> 00:11:41.642
No, that job I actually was like my first job I got when I moved out here.
00:11:41.642 --> 00:11:44.990
Okay, um, and I left that job after.
00:11:44.990 --> 00:11:46.660
Everything kind of went down with him.
00:11:46.660 --> 00:11:54.201
I'd actually kind of left it before, but then kind of stuck around because I really liked that place.
00:11:54.201 --> 00:11:55.004
It felt like home.
00:11:55.004 --> 00:11:56.707
It was a Nebraska Husker bar.
00:11:56.927 --> 00:12:04.010
So, it was like my people, yeah, um, but I actually had to end up getting an order of protection against him.
00:12:04.091 --> 00:12:04.491
What.
00:12:04.792 --> 00:12:05.634
Why yeah?
00:12:05.634 --> 00:12:10.172
So I was like this conversation is going to come up.
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.388
Because one of his hobbies was stalking.
00:12:14.162 --> 00:12:25.801
No, he wasn't a stalker, but I think that he was somebody who eventually, over time, revealed to me that he was in a lot of deep pain and you know, hurt people, hurt people.
00:12:25.801 --> 00:12:28.748
I've come to understand that very true.
00:12:28.748 --> 00:12:39.851
And um, he, basically the night that I finally was like adamant that we were breaking up, he broke into my house a couple times what?
00:12:40.212 --> 00:12:41.881
what was his intention for breaking into your?
00:12:41.922 --> 00:12:47.509
house, not wanting me to like to leave him, begging me to make it work.
00:12:47.509 --> 00:12:49.072
Oh God, that's scary.
00:12:49.072 --> 00:13:04.410
That is very scary, it was scary and I think back about it now and I'm like it was scary at the time and I think back about it now and I'm like he was just reaching, like he was just so, like just wanted to be together.
00:13:04.410 --> 00:13:11.211
So I don't know, I don't think he would ever actually hurt me or anybody but I don't know.
00:13:11.772 --> 00:13:12.695
I had an ex, do that.
00:13:12.695 --> 00:13:14.422
I caught an ex, no complaints.
00:13:14.422 --> 00:13:22.725
Doing what at my house, like like, look, kind of like looking in the living room, looking in the living room window what did you do, yeah?
00:13:22.725 --> 00:13:25.027
I went out there and I was like what are you doing here?
00:13:25.268 --> 00:13:25.748
what did he?
00:13:25.768 --> 00:13:54.078
say and he was like, I just missed you, oh my god you need to leave and never come back after you broke up yeah oh yeah, but it is it's scary because I the same I don't think he had any intent to hurt me or anything like that but it is scary because it's like you let these people into your lives and they know where you live, obviously, and so it just it's yeah, it's creepy, didn't?
00:13:54.119 --> 00:13:54.921
you used to date a cop.
00:13:54.921 --> 00:13:58.910
Yeah, we um dated for a very short lived time.
00:13:58.910 --> 00:14:15.666
Yeah, um, after me and my ex-husband split, um, we were friends, like knew each other and knew of each other, um, and then we dated for a little bit and then we both, kind of mutually, were like, okay, I gotta work through this divorce.
00:14:15.706 --> 00:14:23.265
I wasn't like officially divorced, um, but we were split and I was like, yeah, I think I'm moving back to Nebraska.
00:14:23.265 --> 00:14:31.048
And, um, he was like, yeah, I think you should like go find yourself, you know, post-divorce, because he'd been through one too.
00:14:31.048 --> 00:14:35.686
Um, so we stayed friends and then he passed away in 2021.
00:14:35.686 --> 00:14:36.727
Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:14:36.727 --> 00:14:43.962
Yeah, 20, 2022, yeah, yeah, no, sad when I think about it, but it's.
00:14:43.962 --> 00:14:53.341
I think that, like he was supposed to come in my life for a reason, and I mean he was like anybody asked me like what's the most like influential person in your life?
00:14:53.341 --> 00:15:00.001
And I'm like, honestly, like we didn't know each other for that long, but he was one of those people.
00:15:00.001 --> 00:15:05.785
Just the way that he spoke about life and like how positive he was, so, so, everybody has a purpose.
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:10.455
I agree, yeah, I believe in, like that, divine timing yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:15:10.816 --> 00:15:11.860
So you're a photographer, right?
00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.942
You're very artsy.
00:15:12.981 --> 00:15:29.346
Tell us about that yeah, I um, I do wedding and family photography mostly now, um, but I started when I was in college going for art education to teach, and then you had to choose a concentration, so I chose photography and it just kind of felt like right.
00:15:30.227 --> 00:15:35.486
So I've been doing that for almost 13 years oh wow, what's your handle, or how can people find you um it's?
00:15:36.288 --> 00:15:36.649
long.
00:15:36.649 --> 00:15:42.129
I should probably change, but it's my name Shelby Boer and photography.
00:15:42.129 --> 00:15:54.480
Okay, I used to use those like a personal Instagram and a photography Instagram and then I was like I had to separate myself from my business because I was like identifying myself solely as a photographer.
00:15:54.841 --> 00:15:54.921
And.
00:15:54.961 --> 00:15:57.649
I was kind of like who am I without this?
00:15:57.889 --> 00:16:00.427
So, yeah, what's your favorite thing to shoot?
00:16:00.427 --> 00:16:03.057
I think love yeah.
00:16:03.138 --> 00:16:14.994
Aw Like engagement photos, love and like now, the older that I get kids, because I just feel like they remind me that like life isn't so serious and um, yeah, love I just get.
00:16:14.994 --> 00:16:18.129
So like I'm such an emotional sappy person.
00:16:18.288 --> 00:16:29.361
That's funny so I know it's so expensive for photographers, especially like wedding photographers, but then I people I hear people complaining about the price, but it's the editing that takes a lot of the time, right, Isn't that?
00:16:29.361 --> 00:16:30.626
I feel like that's a lot of work.
00:16:30.787 --> 00:16:31.961
The editing it is.
00:16:31.961 --> 00:16:33.386
It takes so much time.
00:16:33.386 --> 00:16:38.053
I mean it's, I want to say it's quadruple the time at least.
00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:39.326
And people don't think that.
00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:47.485
They think, oh, you're just snapping pictures, it's so easy.
00:16:47.485 --> 00:16:47.866
But no, it's not.
00:16:47.866 --> 00:16:48.830
Once you get back, yeah, I will.
00:16:48.830 --> 00:17:08.332
If I shoot even just like a five-hour wedding, I'll come home with like 6 000 pictures and I'll have to call, go through all the photos to find, obviously, all the best ones that I'm gonna send, which still is like six, seven hundred pictures because you might have a hundred pictures of the exact same shot, right, but the eyes are closed in one, or the head tilt is weird in one or whatever.
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:14.028
So you have to find the best, or there's a drunk person in the back.
00:17:14.048 --> 00:17:18.286
Me yeah, so describe your perfect partner.
00:17:18.286 --> 00:17:19.027
What are you looking for?
00:17:20.431 --> 00:17:32.797
Oh man, I was just having a conversation with this, about this, with my roommate last night and I was like, you know, I think it's not, I don't.
00:17:32.797 --> 00:17:36.807
I used to think, oh, there's this soulmate, there's this person out there, that's perfect.
00:17:36.807 --> 00:18:15.925
But I think now the older, having been married and like gone through, you know, losing somebody that I deeply cared about and then being in a relationship with somebody that was like not who they said they were, I feel like my ideal person is just somebody who practices on having a consistent relationship with God and is somebody who makes me better, like challenges me and is honest with me and calls me out in a very gracious way because I'm sensitive, but also it's like somebody who I can see being the father of my kids and so, ultimately, I think, somebody who's like respects themselves, are you?
00:18:15.986 --> 00:18:25.980
emotional too in your sensitivity, yeah yeah, I'm so emotional because I'm I'm sensitive, but I'm not emotional yeah and so it's.
00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:38.335
But I can feel where you're coming from, because if you are, if you're sensitive and you're emotional yeah, it's hard to be with someone who can't grasp it yes yeah, yes, yeah.
00:18:39.155 --> 00:19:02.107
I um dated somebody for like a little bit back in November and he was the sweetest guy, um, but I just felt like there was a part of me that couldn't fully be myself with him and it's that emotional aspect where I'm just like, can you hold me at my lowest, because it happens about once a month, yeah, you know yeah.
00:19:02.367 --> 00:19:03.069
Are you ready for it?
00:19:03.069 --> 00:19:04.212
I'm ready for it.
00:19:04.212 --> 00:19:07.280

So we have a listener question.
00:19:13.229 --> 00:19:13.892
Let me pull this back here.
00:19:13.892 --> 00:19:14.653
So we have a listener question.
00:19:14.653 --> 00:19:20.098
Let me pull this back here, If I can find it All right.
00:19:20.098 --> 00:19:21.682
This question is from Lindsay.
00:19:21.682 --> 00:19:26.616
She says Not me With L-I-N-Z-I.
00:19:26.717 --> 00:19:27.717
It's spelled differently.
00:19:28.317 --> 00:19:31.619
We matched on an app and now we're texting 24-7.
00:19:31.619 --> 00:19:36.282
Is it too soon to catch feelings, or is this just how dating works now?
00:19:37.343 --> 00:19:39.525
Oh, I feel it's all situational, right.
00:19:39.525 --> 00:19:46.890
If you meet the one, I feel like you can catch feelings right away If you are constantly talking, getting to know each other, if they're texting 24-7.
00:19:48.049 --> 00:19:52.032
I don't equate texting 24-7 with catching feelings.
00:19:52.032 --> 00:20:06.226
I equate texting 24 7 as no boundaries and and yeah, just like a constant access, like the need for constant access.
00:20:06.246 --> 00:20:07.348
So have they met in person yet?
00:20:07.990 --> 00:20:23.663
I don't know, so it just says no it says they they met on the apps okay we matched on an app and now we're texting oh so they haven't met in person okay yeah well, I feel like that's a slippery slope, because you could catch feelings but then meet in person and he could be five feet shorter than what he says he is.
00:20:23.903 --> 00:20:25.426
You never know yeah.
00:20:25.507 --> 00:20:26.368
That is so true.
00:20:26.368 --> 00:20:33.459
And haven't you met people from the apps where, even though they're the same height and they kind of look like their pictures, they just aren't as attractive?
00:20:33.459 --> 00:20:34.560
Have you met people like that?
00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:37.444
Like their mannerisms or the way they move just are unattractive?
00:20:37.444 --> 00:20:38.906
I don't date on the app.
00:20:38.926 --> 00:20:40.709
So I don't know, I feel like people.
00:20:40.709 --> 00:20:41.569
That's.
00:20:41.569 --> 00:20:52.366
The thing that I don't want to be on dating apps for is because I feel like it's so much easier for people to wear a mask of who they want you to think that they are, but then in person it's.
00:20:52.366 --> 00:21:10.238
It's even with social media, like you can go and look on someone's social media and they can have this whole curated profile of who they want people to see them as, but then you meet them in person and that's not who they are at all that's true, yeah most, most people's social media are not yeah, what their life is really like.
00:21:10.438 --> 00:21:20.217
So, unfortunately, yeah or like I mean, there's just I feel like even with her texting him non-stop, it's like do you really know his character?
00:21:20.217 --> 00:21:26.316
Um, take, take you on a date, see how he interacts with people outside of that.
00:21:26.375 --> 00:21:35.641
Yeah, she shouldn't get too excited just yet no, and I also feel like, if you're texting 24 7, what actually are you talking about?
00:21:35.641 --> 00:21:39.260
Because if you're like, if it's like good morning, good morning, I miss you.
00:21:39.260 --> 00:21:39.782
I miss you.
00:21:39.782 --> 00:21:41.390
What are you doing working?
00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:42.494
What are you doing working?
00:21:42.494 --> 00:21:44.278
Have a good day, okay.
00:21:44.278 --> 00:21:45.940
You too, okay.
00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:47.303
I'm on my lunch break.
00:21:47.824 --> 00:22:09.779
Me too, like, like, what kind that's not to me, that is that annoys me, that is like I, I can't do that you know, like if that's your 24 7 texting but they could be talking about everything politics desires, ambitions, goals like 24 7 I don't know, they could be what.
00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:10.580
What else are?
