00:00Dating today is all about the swipe.
00:03I have personally seen some dating profiles that would make you want to swipe left.
00:07But today, I'm gonna change that.
00:09I'm gonna give a total digital dating makeover.
00:12Time to meddle.
00:17I would swipe left. Swipe left.
00:20This guy's really cute, but I'm gonna swipe left.
00:22Before I get into it, I want you to walk me through your profile.
00:26Cool. Okay. So this is actually a pretty recent photo of me.
00:29It's a picture that my friend took at an izakaya in Tokyo.
00:33It's just heaven. He's holding a humongous beer.
00:36And he has an Apple Watch. Ooh. Tech savvy.
00:40It's a good start. I always suggest a great straight-to-camera single shot for the first picture.
00:45So positive. Awesome.
00:46This is me and my friend. I took this at a party somewhere in Brooklyn.
00:50And then this is just me kind of goofing around with a funny umbrella.
00:53This picture is a little too sassy.
00:55He's giving a little bit of, like, a little bit of attitude.
00:58He's giving, like, a little bit of, like, a...
01:00And then that's it. I just have three pictures.
01:02Can you just read me your bio? What are you putting out into the world?
01:05Brooklyn via Chicago, cats, hip-hop, etc.
01:09Got some potential, but the bio's not working for him.
01:12Cats. See, I feel like if you put cats in your profile,
01:15then you just will repel the dog ladies, and I don't like cats.
01:19That was his bio? Brooklyn via Chicago, cats, hip-hop, etc.
01:23What is that?
01:24I think the biggest downfall in your profile is lack of images and lack of information.
01:29So let's add some more photos.
01:31Okay.
01:31I'm gonna steer now. You're gonna hand me your phone.
01:33Okay.
01:33And we're gonna make some edits.
01:34I love this. This is a travel photo.
01:37Yeah.
01:37So we have a shot of Carlo traveling. He's got his canned coffee in hand.
01:42He's in Tokyo.
01:43From a vending machine next to the vending machine I got it from.
01:46Yeah. That's awesome.
01:47So is this you?
01:48That is me. I'm iffy on using that because it looks kind of pretentious.
01:53I think it's a plus. It shows your full body.
01:56It's also gonna be a little further into it, so we can actually see what you look like first.
02:00So let's go through your order.
02:15But now we have to move to the bio.
02:17Ooh. All right. Let's do this.
02:20I think we see who you are in the images, but you need to also tell who you are.
02:26I spoke internally to one of your good friends, Zoe, who says she's worked with you for a couple years.
02:31Yeah, so Carlo's really brilliant, so I want his bio to, like, say something that makes him seem more witty
02:38and smart the way he actually is.
02:39So in addition to Zoe, a good friend, saying he's smart and has a great job and has a lot
02:45of friends and does all this stuff,
02:47we have the other side of people who didn't know you who were judging you and myself being like,
02:51tell us what Etcetera is. We want to know more.
02:53Right, right.
02:53So I love Brooklyn via Chicago. What else do you like to do?
02:59I'm a big music festival person, especially in the summer.
03:02In the winter, I'm kind of more of a homebody, like, marathoning, you know, TV shows and reading a lot.
03:06Let's do winter, colon, obviously not Netflix and chill, but we can do winter, colon, TV marathons, and what's your
03:12favorite food?
03:14Let's just say chicken and waffles.
03:16This is so good!
03:17Yeah.
03:17This is after Brooklyn via Chicago.
03:19Okay.
03:19So let's do winter, colon, Netflix, comma, chicken and waffles.
03:23Now we know what you like to do in the cold season.
03:25Okay.
03:25And then enter.
03:26Summer is music festivals and bar hopping.
03:29But I think this is good.
03:29It shows your location, shows you came from somewhere else.
03:32We found a creative way to show what you actually really enjoy doing.
03:36Yeah, I like this.
03:37This is so much better than anything I could have thought of myself.
03:40I'm so much more excited to use this app now.
03:42You have to keep me posted.
03:44Absolutely, Lauren.
03:44Okay.
03:46So the bio's a lot better.
03:47It's a little twerky.
03:49I'm intrigued as to what these things mean.
03:51The Snapchat photo's like kind of silly, but way better than the umbrella pic.
03:56Alright, I like the pictures.
03:57He travels.
03:59He loves Snapchat.
04:00Good flower crown filter.
04:02I'd swipe right, for sure.
04:03This is way better.
04:05He's cute and there are some interesting things in his bio, so I would swipe right.
04:10Yeah, I think that this is a much better representation of Carlo than the previous profile.
04:15He comes off smarter, funnier, more photos that kind of represent what he looks like, and
04:20the traveling is definitely a big part of his personality, so I think that it fits him
04:24much better.
04:24Go ahead.
04:24here.
