Speaker 1: Turn that off right now? You're not allowing to watch
Speaker 1: Instagram videos? Well, we're about to do a show.
Speaker 2: Why because do you like my hat?
Speaker 3: He refuses to start engaging with the show until it's
Speaker 3: actually already happened.
Speaker 1: Or until the topic turns to him.
Speaker 3: No, he just like he's still on break more until
Speaker 3: like five seconds after we were already started.

Speaker 1: Do you wear that out?
Speaker 2: And about sure?
Speaker 1: Or just for the show just to let you know
Speaker 1: how things are. Well, I'm sorry for you about that.
Speaker 1: I'm Laura Kane. This is Laura Kane. After Dark producer
Speaker 1: Brian runs. Everything he does, he does his best and
Speaker 1: he does a great job. And today tonight, whenever you're
Speaker 1: listening or watching, we are going to focus on being
Speaker 1: single in San Diego. Because my roommate number one Marie,
Speaker 1: my roommate number two Antonio, the three of us are single.
Speaker 1: So we did a thing this weekend where it was
Speaker 1: like speed dating, but it wasn't. It was something a
Speaker 1: little different. And you have to buy tickets. I think
Speaker 1: they're like nineteen bucks apiece, and it was at a
Speaker 1: brewery and it was like a meet and greet sort
Speaker 1: of dating thing, something out of the box. We decided,
Speaker 1: all three of us we went together to experience it.
Speaker 1: And I met the woman who is the marketing person
Speaker 1: for this place, for this company called Jigsaw, and they
Speaker 1: put on a bunch of events for singles all throughout
Speaker 1: the year. And so we're going to talk to her
Speaker 1: and interview her. But I wanted to give you some
Speaker 1: stats about singles in San Diego.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, they're all depressed.
Speaker 3: They're all very lonely.
Speaker 1: Do I seem depressed?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do I no?
Speaker 2: Deep down?
Speaker 1: Deep down? Well I am on antidepressant. So there's that.
Speaker 1: So there is.
Speaker 3: So you're right, but I one of those things requires
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 1: The only reason is because they put them on that.
Speaker 1: They put me on them when I was in rehab.
Speaker 1: And my philosophy is I'm just going to keep taking
Speaker 1: them because I'm too afraid to see what happens if
Speaker 1: I go off of them. So why not. That's what
Speaker 1: they're for, a big deal.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm calling on that. Okay, whatever.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So in San Diego County currently there are four
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three thousand and seventy four single women.
Speaker 1: Sounds a little ass from the internet. I looked up
Speaker 1: who knows?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, so we know it's the best available information.
Speaker 1: This is the information I just got.
Speaker 3: On the site of your sources, Laura.
Speaker 1: Fifty two percent of the two point five million people
Speaker 1: twenty years and older in San Diego County are unmarried.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're single, but they're unmarried.
Speaker 3: Fifty two percent of the two point five millions.
Speaker 1: People who are above twenty and older okay in the
Speaker 1: county are unmarried. Okay, fifty one point one percent of
Speaker 1: those are men, so it's very even.
Speaker 3: Wait, so half of all adults are single in San Diego.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just wrote down. I don't.
Speaker 3: Okay, anyways, continue don't confuse me.
Speaker 1: So there are many ways to not be single. There
Speaker 1: are many dating apps. I've tried many of them, including
Speaker 1: sugar Daddy ones. We won't go back into that. It
Speaker 1: was many, many years ago when I was work a
Speaker 1: lot more stupid than I am now. I've tried bumble,
Speaker 1: I've tried plenty of fish, I've tried hinge, I've tried
Speaker 1: e harmony, I even did that way back in like
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, because I thought that would be
Speaker 1: the best one because you have to fill out like
Speaker 1: pages upon pages upon pages of things about your personality and.
Speaker 3: You were desperate, and.
Speaker 1: I thought it was the best one.
Speaker 2: Because what's the one that the the women say hi
Speaker 2: to the men and every time he said hi to
Speaker 2: guyd'd send you a dick peck?
Speaker 3: What bumble hinjs? Are you talk about one where the
Speaker 3: chicks had the message first or.
Speaker 2: Are you just talking about well, every single it seemed
Speaker 2: like every single time she messaged the guy and said hi,
Speaker 2: they did oh it was hook up. They didn't even
Speaker 2: say hello, they just sent a dick pic. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then she would be like, oh my god, she'd send
Speaker 2: it to me and I'd make it into it like
Speaker 2: a lollipop or be careful with that.
Speaker 1: You know what you should do because he covers them
Speaker 1: up so well with his artistic drawings.
Speaker 3: We cannot show it now, you can't tell it. No,
Speaker 3: we can't show it. That's illegal.
Speaker 1: I would really love to show, like do a gallery art.
Speaker 2: No, it's so illegal.
Speaker 3: We cannot do that. Don't ever show anyone that stuff.
Speaker 3: It's so illegal.
Speaker 1: Well, I haven't gotten a dick pick in a long time.
Speaker 1: But actually I shouldn't even have said that because I don't.
Speaker 2: I really know they're not really going to get a bunch.
Speaker 1: So this company is called Jigsaw Dating San Diego and
Speaker 1: they have happy hours they where they play games. The
Speaker 1: game that we played was like a Bingo and and
Speaker 1: you had to go around and like mingle with people
Speaker 1: and then ask the questquestions on this bingo sheet and
Speaker 1: you had to write down the name of the person
Speaker 1: that answered it and then if you got bingo, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: It was my god, I want to create one of
Speaker 2: those Bengo sheets. The questions like what kind of questions?
Speaker 1: Really a horrible one?
Speaker 2: Yes, have you ever had chlamydia? Oh?
Speaker 1: My god?
Speaker 2: Like do you like anal?
Speaker 1: So I pulled the woman who is the marketing person
Speaker 1: for Jigsaw, and I pulled her aside and I did
Speaker 1: a little interview and I said, would you be on
Speaker 1: our show to talk about this company and the different
Speaker 1: ones that you represent in dating in San Diego and
Speaker 1: being single in San Diego in general, And she said,
Speaker 1: of course. So we're going to call this number right now.
Speaker 1: I call Her name is Carolyn Mattini. She was super
Speaker 1: nice and when I was annoyed talking to some of
Speaker 1: the men that were there. Oh, by the way, that's
Speaker 1: why I had to lie about my age because it
Speaker 1: was forty five, was the app But I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be in the fifty to sixty five year old group.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but plus I wanted to be with Marie in
Speaker 1: my roommate. She's twenty nine.
Speaker 3: I think the age pool that you guys are interested in,
Speaker 3: at least it should be different.
Speaker 2: That age pool is called deadpool.
Speaker 3: That's so mean, except yeah, that's Laura's.
Speaker 1: I Actually, the reason I did it is just for
Speaker 1: the experience and.
Speaker 3: Just to see it trying to snack a twenty five
Speaker 3: year old.
Speaker 1: You know, I do like them young, not that young, though,
Speaker 1: Oh I do. I can't help what I'm attracted to. Okay,
Speaker 1: for teacher, not that young though, My god, you're years younger.
Speaker 2: Graduate lord.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is Carolyn.
Speaker 2: And does Carolyn know that you took ten years shape
Speaker 2: ten years off your life?
Speaker 1: No one, she won't know that, Okay.
Speaker 2: She will. I tell her. What she watches herself on is.
Speaker 1: My phone up? Is the is the sound up? Because
Speaker 1: here we go it's not connected. Why is it not
Speaker 1: who it is?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I always do this, I always get confused.
Speaker 2: Well, Hi Laura, Hi.
Speaker 1: Carolyn, you are on Laura Kane after Dark. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 4: Thank you, pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Hye, Carolyn.
Speaker 1: That's Eric Rimmer, my co host.
Speaker 4: Hi Eric, how dooey?
Speaker 2: Good? How are you?
Speaker 4: And this is producer the earthquake? You too? Did you? Guys?
Speaker 2: We did?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Did you survive?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I didn't even feel it at all. I
Speaker 4: was evacuated from work for like one minute. We went
Speaker 4: out by that was it.
Speaker 1: And you didn't even feel it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, it was very short, but Brian felt because he
Speaker 1: was close to the closer to the epicenter. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the reason we have you on the phone is because
Speaker 1: we had such a great conversation at the event on
Speaker 1: Saturday at the Brewery, and I thought it'd be great
Speaker 1: to have you on to talk about being single in
Speaker 1: San Diego and the different things that are available now
Speaker 1: to meet other singles in this county. And I really
Speaker 1: thought that the event was unique. And I love the
Speaker 1: idea of speed dating, and I know that that's something
Speaker 1: that's out there as well. But I was hoping Carolyn
Speaker 1: Mattini that you could talk about what it is Jigsaw
Speaker 1: does and the different events that you're involved in and
Speaker 1: that kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, Yeah, that was a lot of fun this weekend.
Speaker 4: It was great to see you there. And yeah, so
Speaker 4: Jigsaw is a new type of dating app that's not
Speaker 4: just wiping through photos because as you know, it's really
Speaker 4: difficult to meet people nowadays, you know, online you're hiding
Speaker 4: behind the screens and you never know what you're going
Speaker 4: to get and it's nerve wrecking having to you know,
Speaker 4: just chat back and for message message keep track of
Speaker 4: all the emails. But Jigsaw is actual, you know, it's
Speaker 4: an online app, but it's also you know, in person
Speaker 4: events that they have nationwide in every major city and
Speaker 4: several times a month there is a Jigsaw meet up.
Speaker 4: There's a mid day happy hour mixer, there's a painting
Speaker 4: and wine event, there's the you know, speed dating at
Speaker 4: different cafes. There at really really fun venues all over
Speaker 4: the city. And this past weekend it was at the
Speaker 4: the Brewery. The Oh I'm drawing a blank and I've
Speaker 4: got to say their name because they were an excellent venue.
Speaker 1: It was I remember I was drawing a blank too, Mesa.
Speaker 1: It was really nice.
Speaker 4: It's on the tip of my tongue, okay it so anyways,
Speaker 4: Oh Ballast Point, Yeah, sorry, Ballast Point. They have amazing
Speaker 4: We did one at their location in Little Italy and
Speaker 4: the past weekend it was at the other Carmel Valley
Speaker 4: Carrol Canyon Road location and it's such a big space,
Speaker 4: great venue, great food, great drinks, and people had a
Speaker 4: lot of fun. So you know, you get to actually
Speaker 4: see the people in person, and it's great networking and
Speaker 4: it's just you know, expanding your social circle and putting
Speaker 4: yourself out there. And it's a lot of fun because
Speaker 4: at each of the venues, you know, there's just like
Speaker 4: we did one at the Aero Club and Mission Hills
Speaker 4: and it's like Chucky Keys. You know, you're just playing
Speaker 4: a lot of fun games and you know, getting to
Speaker 4: know people. So it's like it takes the edge off
Speaker 4: up and Jigsaw provides all these tools, like these fun
Speaker 4: ice breakers cards and the speed dating is very structured,
Speaker 4: so it's like you get this dedicated time with each person.
Speaker 4: The the men will sit down across from a woman
Speaker 4: and then you'll have like, you know, a few minutes
Speaker 4: to have a conversation. You can use the ice breakers
Speaker 4: or just kind of improv and you know, make up
Speaker 4: your own conversations and then at the sound of the bell,
Speaker 4: the men stand up and you know, rotate to the
Speaker 4: next person. And it's also you know, we have every population,
Speaker 4: age group and persuasion too, so you know, we're we
Speaker 4: have LGBTQ events. We have just a little something for everyone,
Speaker 4: and so you know, it's just it's something different because
Speaker 4: how can you really, you know, get a feel for
Speaker 4: who that person is just through you know, the app
Speaker 4: and it's and.
Speaker 1: The cat fishing possibility and everything like that. That's always
Speaker 1: a scary thing because you don't really know at least
Speaker 1: you see.
Speaker 4: So I saw people have been vetted through the app,
Speaker 4: and it's that's great.
Speaker 1: There was a man who was there who was he
Speaker 1: looked very, very shy, and of course I went up
Speaker 1: and I talked to him because you know, I wanted to,
Speaker 1: you know, break the ice with somebody. But what would
Speaker 1: you say to somebody who thinks this is a good
Speaker 1: idea and says, you know what, I really want to
Speaker 1: do it, but it is shy? Is a person that
Speaker 1: doesn't normally put themselves out there. Why should they do this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we we have the support. You know, we're
Speaker 4: like really good wingmen or wing women, and so we
Speaker 4: we get a lot of that. Like I have seen
Speaker 4: so many you know, people with social anxiety, and you know,
Speaker 4: they'll show up and they'll tell me that and you know,
Speaker 4: they're not really used to this, and we just kind
Speaker 4: of were there to support and you know, we we
Speaker 4: really do a lot of like you know, coaching, and
Speaker 4: we help them through it and and by the end
Speaker 4: of it, they're like, I'm so glad I did this.
Speaker 4: You know, at first I was nervous, but you know,
Speaker 4: and then they keep coming back and they just kind
Speaker 4: of get more comfortable with it, and they make new
Speaker 4: friends and they go out on dates and they just
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people, I've had a lot
Speaker 4: of successful you know matches, a lot of people I've
Speaker 4: run into. I'm like, oh, I haven't seen you at
Speaker 4: the Jigsaw events and they're like, yeah, I met this.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm dating this person through Jigsaw and you
Speaker 4: know we're exclusive now, and so it all works. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the statistics really have shown, Like I saw one study
Speaker 4: that said people that meet through you know and online
Speaker 4: and dating app they're more likely. I think it was
Speaker 4: something like in the ninetieth percentile of success rates of
Speaker 4: really you know, finding their perfect match that they're really
Speaker 4: satisfied with and in a committed relationship long term. So
Speaker 4: so yeah, it's it's a great way to do it
Speaker 4: because as you know, we get in our comfort zones,
Speaker 4: we get in our you know routine where we're just
Speaker 4: you know, work home, watch Netflix, and we don't go out,
Speaker 4: you know. So it's yeah, and even if you do
Speaker 4: go out to the bar, you don't know if that
Speaker 4: person out there is really you know interested with their
Speaker 4: relationship status is So having that dedicated spase of you know,
Speaker 4: knowing this group of people are you know, people that
Speaker 4: are have been vetted, they've got great careers or they've
Speaker 4: got you know, great personalities, and they're you know read
Speaker 4: and interested in a relationship.
Speaker 1: So if somebody wants to know when the next event is,
Speaker 1: where should they go and uh and find it?
Speaker 4: So they should download the Jigsaw app or go to
Speaker 4: the Jigsaw website and just sign up and you'll see
Speaker 4: all the fun events that we have coming up. And
Speaker 4: like I said, they're in every major city nationwide.
Speaker 1: Oh jig science. Yes, yeah, are you a single person?
Speaker 4: I am dating and I host the events and so
Speaker 4: I am you know, with someone exclusively, but you know,
Speaker 4: I am a very good wing woman and I would
Speaker 4: love to help people and so yeah, so I'm just
Speaker 4: the host of the event. So I am just there
Speaker 4: to to support and facilitate the games. Last weekend we
Speaker 4: had the fun bingo scavenger hunt type game. So yeah,
Speaker 4: all kinds of things like that. So that's that's my
Speaker 4: role in the Jigsaw Dating app world.
Speaker 1: Well that's a good one, and thank you for doing that,
Speaker 1: absolute and thank you for being on the phone with us,
Speaker 1: Carolyn Mattini and Jigsaw Dating App. That's what we were
Speaker 1: talking about, and we really appreciate your time and your knowledge,
Speaker 1: and uh, good luck to you in the future events
Speaker 1: and hopefully I'll see it one.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Yes, absolutely, Okay, I have a great night.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Bye Carolyn.
Speaker 2: Bye.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we sat around this table. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: totally something I would do because I was getting uncomfortable
Speaker 1: because there it was there. It was men heavy, believe
Speaker 1: it or not. I thought it was gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot more women men I.
Speaker 3: Feel like I'd see more men of these things.
Speaker 1: So there was a big round table and I, Marie
Speaker 1: and I set ourselves down and we each had those
Speaker 1: cards where you ask the questions or whatever, and they
Speaker 1: were like they were such softball questions. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna spice this up a little bit.
Speaker 4: Oh no.
Speaker 1: And there was this one guy that just kept talking
Speaker 1: and hogging the whole conversation. So there was some other
Speaker 1: men that I was like, I feel like they need
Speaker 1: to participate. So I was coming up with all sorts
Speaker 1: of questions. So I felt like, all right, everybody, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go around the table.
Speaker 2: I totally was so BOSSI is bossy.
Speaker 1: I don't even what were they doing working, Like what
Speaker 1: was my problem? But I'm like, all right, go around
Speaker 1: the table, and I want you each to say one
Speaker 1: word describing yourself best. And then I did a lot
Speaker 1: of other things like that, and then people started to
Speaker 1: get up and leave the tape.
Speaker 2: Oh I colored, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I also want to tell you about something that Marie did,
Speaker 1: which I think is great because as a single young
Speaker 1: person in San Diego with a business, she runs three restaurants,
Speaker 1: she has no time.
Speaker 3: She's such an ambitious dater or too.
Speaker 1: She really is. She gives it, she tries, she does,
Speaker 1: but she also you know, she's from France, she's been
Speaker 1: here for a while. She has some friends, but she
Speaker 1: also wanted to meet new people. But how do you
Speaker 1: meet new people when you're running a business and you
Speaker 1: have no time? And where do you go to meet
Speaker 1: like girlfriends? So she found this site, this group of people,
Speaker 1: and she met up with them. It was like a
Speaker 1: breakfast meeting and it was like networking and also exchanging
Speaker 1: numbers and meeting new friends, meeting new friends. It was
Speaker 1: like a friendship meeting service. So I thought I'd give
Speaker 1: you a couple of different ones that I saw online
Speaker 1: because I think this is a great idea, because how
Speaker 1: do you meet people? Well, she's young, but like at
Speaker 1: my age, how do you.
Speaker 2: Meet me at funerals?
Speaker 1: That's what I do, other people's funerals, like are friends that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Geez, So you're like so so sorry to hear
Speaker 2: about so and so what do you think when do
Speaker 2: you think you'll be ready to date again? Well?
Speaker 1: I wish she was home, which she's she works so
Speaker 1: long and so late. But she really enjoyed it. She
Speaker 1: got a lot out of it. She got some phone
Speaker 1: numbers and it's just really special. So sorry, have you
Speaker 1: been taking your medicine? Okay. One of them is called
Speaker 1: City Swoon. The other one is Creative Mornings San Diego Dreamers,
Speaker 1: San Diego Adventure Hub, girls who walk like if you
Speaker 1: if walking is your thing and you want to find
Speaker 1: a fellow person who likes to do the same thing hiking,
Speaker 1: There's all sorts of people who like to paint people
Speaker 1: girls pint out. If you just want to go drinking
Speaker 1: with somebody, there's the worst names I've ever heard.
Speaker 2: Are bad, bad names.
Speaker 3: I would no offense. I would not join any of
Speaker 3: these on the names alone.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like creative Mornings. I would change mornings to
Speaker 2: spell m O. You are yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this says to me, this is a morning meeting
Speaker 1: because for those of you that work in the evening,
Speaker 1: it's perfect and it's creative. I like it.
Speaker 3: It's but you're way too optimistic for anything. It's so
Speaker 3: hard to convince you.
Speaker 2: Is Brian and I have Hearts of Stone girls pint out.
Speaker 2: That's awful.
Speaker 1: That is actually the most.
Speaker 3: Yes, but so cringey.
Speaker 1: It seems like that would be the most one of
Speaker 1: the most popular ones because it's you have something to
Speaker 1: ply yourself, Brian.
Speaker 2: We should we should communicate. We should do a men's one,
Speaker 2: and I'll just call it circle jerks.
Speaker 3: There was one I didn't because it's funny.

Speaker 2: that you have no gag reflex.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're not We're not pipping her out now. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be honest with you, though you're gonna face you're
Speaker 3: gonna face a little more challenges because.
Speaker 2: You're on the older side.
Speaker 3: Understood, it's gonna be a little tougher for you.
Speaker 1: Well, I think then, you know, obviously your job is
Speaker 1: to find the older guys in maybe job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, job discot, Marie, I've got you.
Speaker 3: We but we need to we might need to hit
Speaker 3: more like restaurant bars, not just bars.

Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, not buffet, but like classy restaurants
Speaker 3: they also have a large bar in them.
Speaker 1: University Heights will have something.
Speaker 2: Maybe we could go to Lafayette.
Speaker 3: Lafayette is a young man's place, but we can't go
Speaker 3: there because I do love the Lafayette.
Speaker 2: Hey, Laura's just ten years younger overnight. True, So there
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 3: But we can do University in North Park because they're
Speaker 3: all on the.
Speaker 1: Same Yeah, all right, are you up for that challenge? Well,
Speaker 1: for her, it won't be a challenge. She's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's just such a catch.

Speaker 1: Oh God, talking about himself. He wants to be in
Speaker 1: bed by like forget.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but you know where we could go for Laura.
Speaker 2: We could go to Walmart. Yeah we could. That's a
Speaker 2: good one.
Speaker 1: I've been there many times. I have not seen any potential.
Speaker 2: That's because you're too busy. Tried to get Elvis out

Speaker 3: that's a little classy restaurant place.
Speaker 1: Not there's gonna be a bar ishaly to go out
Speaker 1: to dinner.
Speaker 2: Okay, North Park is a good safe bet. I like
Speaker 2: the University Heights.
Speaker 1: I like that idea.
Speaker 2: Oh, Marie, what do you think about this? Here's another
Speaker 2: ballpoint that I would have for me. Yes, I would say,

Speaker 2: disagree the funny because you don't laugh at anything like
Speaker 2: that is.
Speaker 3: A bunch of comedic. Yes, sometimes you make other people laugh.
Speaker 2: You're more of like the laugher, not like the joke. Teller,
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm picking out here's the other thing.
Speaker 2: I'm picking out your outfit and your makeup. Are you interesting?
Speaker 1: Are you going to be more conservative? Are you going
Speaker 1: to sex me up?
Speaker 2: Are you going to I am not going to sex you.
Speaker 1: Up, all right, I'm not going to look preppy.
Speaker 3: You know, you have to do like tiny tease. I
Speaker 3: would say mostly classy though, yeah, classy. You don't want
Speaker 3: to be like y teas Like, there's gotta be a
Speaker 3: little bit of teas there.
Speaker 2: Like you don't look like a prude, right, and with
Speaker 2: your hair like the Beachi waves, you know, like your
Speaker 2: hair and the Beachi waves.

Speaker 3: It's more about the top. The top is more important.
Speaker 2: What to show off the girls.
Speaker 1: Yet well not.
Speaker 2: Conservatively a little bit, a little.
Speaker 1: Bit as a man, a straight man, besides the face,
Speaker 1: what attracts you like? What outfit would attract you immediately.
Speaker 1: If you saw some girl, what would you what would
Speaker 1: you like?

Speaker 3: I mean this is subjective. I'm not a fan of
Speaker 3: super revealing. Like it's sure, it's fun, but like someone
Speaker 3: you Yeah, well it's just not someone I actually would like.
Speaker 3: That's not it's probably not something long term that I
Speaker 3: would be interested in.
Speaker 2: I think most men like the mystery of it.
Speaker 3: I don't think it depends if someone's just looking for
Speaker 3: a one night thing.
Speaker 2: No, they don't need to be a mystery that. I
Speaker 2: just think that. I just think it. I don't think
Speaker 2: it matters if it's guys or girls.

Speaker 2: Need to see everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not just about imagination. It's just like

Speaker 3: objectifying here, but like no one, no one wants someone
Speaker 3: who's just you know, looks like a street walker.
