Filming people without their knowledge! Clearly the right approach to dating. This is awful.
This is disgusting on many levels. Secretly streaming your romantic encounters? If you wouldnât film a date if you went home with him, you shouldnât do it at a restaurant either. This is a terrible invasion of privacy. Sheâs engaging with these men under the pretense of getting to know each other, when itâs really about the internet getting to know the guy. Her comments on how hollow this is makes it clear that this is horrific, and on some level she knows it.
So, one eye on the phone at all times is the best way to behave on a date?
How horrible.
Advice on optimal date behavior: stop doing this.
Although the concept, divorced of its human element, is interesting. Basically the same deal that Neal Stephenson described in Interface, except without biofeedback from the focus group.
Itâs a great idea jotted on a napkin during an amphetamine fueled brain storming meeting with your study group â reduce human interaction to a crowdsourced work unit, take measurements, mirthful results will ensue! itâs a jaunty and bold intro-psych / computer science / BDSM / performance art thesis project, and would give you just the name-brand recognition you need when applying for grad school.
But typically thereâs some kind of academic oversight which would be quick to point out the ethical and possibly legal flaws and offer strong discouragement.
Is it too much to ask that people learn the difference between âdiscreetâ and âdiscreteâ?
I suppose, however, that what she describes really doesnât meet any reasonable definition of âdiscretionâ, so maybe she used the right word after all.
Ugh.
Just, ugh.
- Discrete does not mean the same thing as discreet.
- Filming a date without his/her permission? Lady, you are WAY out of line. Shame on you.
None of this would pass the NIH Human Subjects Use guidelines.
How the hell do you âdiscreetlyâ film your date?
Reminds me of the Monkees episode where they were trying to get the foreign spy to speak directly into the table lamp with the hidden microphone.
Who is the subject of the experiment? I think she is. The date is a prop.
LifeâŚyouâre doing it wrong.
I think I may know why she is having trouble finding someone to settle down with.
the blonde with the red scarf behind them, I would date her
This just furthers my belief that a lot of people on OKCupid are creeps.
Itâs also one of the great opportunities for a datebomb ala photobomb (and I guess I mean that in at least two ways) by her fellow datee.
Reminds me of this:
âSightâ: Man with Augmented Reality intelligent implants uses âWingmanâ app to seduce girl.
Hilarity does NOT ensue.
Well thatâs creepy.
