Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast, Happy Lines.
Speaker 2: A little listener question, is this rude now on the
Speaker 2: sheet that I have here? Yeah? Is this rude? That's
Speaker 2: all that's written. So we're just going to get into it.
Speaker 2: And also, where is our cult located.
Speaker 1: Rooms is working today? Everyone? She's clocked on? Award winning
Speaker 1: podcaster always always Let's go.
Speaker 2: This is Flex and Frooms on kit in.
Speaker 1: Good news potentially bad news, depending on how you're geared
Speaker 1: positively or negatively. I did come across a bit of
Speaker 1: a viral video. I feel like a Facebook mom. It's
Speaker 1: every day viral video. Viral video. Read a book, cite
Speaker 1: the encyclopedia anyway, computer in the seventies, nineteen seventy three
Speaker 1: in particular, predicted the end of the world using a
Speaker 1: very simple line graph, and that's what hurts me the most.
Speaker 1: This wasn't any complex technology. It was simple maths, protractor, ruler,
Speaker 1: are a few lines and it's pretty sad. It's the source,
Speaker 1: the reference. The use name is viral history. Not sure
Speaker 1: you'll find it. Who's the guy speaking? I don't know
Speaker 1: as a robot. No, it's a real man, but I'll
Speaker 1: play it for you right now.
Speaker 3: Very simple graphs which project what's going to happen to
Speaker 3: the planet over the next one hundred and fifty years
Speaker 3: if we don't do something drastic to stop it. From
Speaker 3: nineteen forty on, the quality of life diminishes. Here we
Speaker 3: are about the turn of the century, and we come
Speaker 3: up to the twenty twenty and it's really come right
Speaker 3: back while people, of course, means that you start to
Speaker 3: chew up your supply of natural resources. And this is
Speaker 3: this curve here, being curve that shows that slowly but
Speaker 3: steadily the pool of natural wealth in the world, natural resources, minerals, oil,
Speaker 3: and so on, is slowly but steadily diminishing. So this
Speaker 3: is the situation. As population increases, the quality of life decreases,
Speaker 3: and the supply of natural resources decreases. But haven't looked
Speaker 3: at this curve here. This is called the Z curve,
Speaker 3: and it represents poplar pollution. Now predictably enough, as the
Speaker 3: population increases. Up to nineteen eighty, pollution increases is more rubbish.
Speaker 3: But from nineteen eighty to the year twenty twenty, pollution
Speaker 3: really takes off. This is assuming of course, that we
Speaker 3: don't do anything about it. So the year twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: the condition of the planet starts to become highly critical,
Speaker 3: and if we don't do anything about it, this is
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. The quality of life is going
Speaker 3: to go right back to practically zero. Pollution is going
Speaker 3: to become so serious right out here that it will
Speaker 3: start to kill people. So the population will diminish right
Speaker 3: back here less than it was in the year nineteen hundred,
Speaker 3: and at this stage round about the year twenty forty
Speaker 3: two and fifty, civilized life as we know on this
Speaker 3: planet will cease to exist. Well hopefully, of course it
Speaker 3: won't be allowed to happen, but it's taken this kind
Speaker 3: of shock treatment to nudge governments into doing something, and
Speaker 3: slowly we are. We're starting to clean up our atmosphere,
Speaker 3: where starting to recycle out rubbish. We're doing something positive
Speaker 3: about population control.
Speaker 2: Sir, First, you got laugh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first thing I love to hear in Australian accent.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, And plainly speaking, he said pollution going
Speaker 1: right up, quality of life going right down, and we
Speaker 1: know that was nineteen seventy and he'd imply that, you know,
Speaker 1: a push had been happening at that time. It's not beforehand,
Speaker 1: just fifty years ago exactly. Yes, that felt like it'selt
Speaker 1: like he was kind of like, this is where our
Speaker 1: wits end now, so let's start making changes. And now
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you in twenty twenty three to say, sir,
Speaker 1: a few things didn't get done half a century later,
Speaker 1: didn't really get to it. But what I will say
Speaker 1: is that if we are on track for a late
Speaker 1: twenty fifty oblivion, what are we going to do with
Speaker 1: the rest of our time?
Speaker 2: Everyone, I mean at least was to be like, we've
Speaker 2: got good years left.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like the natural resolution of that
Speaker 1: time here.
Speaker 2: Going back to yeah, like in the old days when
Speaker 2: people died when they were fifty.
Speaker 1: Embracing tradition. Wow, all that to say, a few things
Speaker 1: remain true. Society does not respect academics, women in academics.
Speaker 2: It just it's makes sense.
Speaker 1: How many times can we hear the same kind of
Speaker 1: information told in a thousand different ways, with a thousand
Speaker 1: different bits of evidence, and just nothing happens. That is
Speaker 1: the bit I'm confused by, And the sinister part of
Speaker 1: me is like the people who have the resources to
Speaker 1: not be affected will be unaffected, regardless, regardless what they say.
Speaker 1: So they're not trying to busy themselves with what's your word?
Speaker 1: Common folk? Common with common folk work, it's not on
Speaker 1: their agenda. And unfortunately, I fear I understand that time
Speaker 1: we talked about some dating content, I did make a
Speaker 1: vow that anytime we'd discuss it, though, it would need
Speaker 1: to be from a fresh new angle. Actually, because by
Speaker 1: the time this reaches you, people have plagiarized us already.
Speaker 1: I'm talking in the mere minutes, it's gone from our
Speaker 1: mouth to this microphone and uploaded into the airwaves. Some
Speaker 1: other podcasts like this is good information, and they plagiarize it.
Speaker 1: So in coming to you with information that only we could,
Speaker 1: We've got tiktoks, we've got treachery, We've also got a podcast.
Speaker 1: What do you say, wait for it, wait for it.
Speaker 1: What do you think is the ultimate indicator of a
Speaker 1: successful relationship. I'm talking at the early stages when you
Speaker 1: just like first touched fingers with someone, when you first
Speaker 1: even looked at them. What is the ultimate indicator? Is
Speaker 1: it the level of attraction you share?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Your financial status is it? Is it the clothes you're wearing?
Speaker 1: Is it the pheromones. According to research research, it is inconclusive, inconclusive.
Speaker 1: At this point, it's just vibes. Listen to this TikTok
Speaker 1: by Ben Spalos. He'll do a much better job at
Speaker 1: explaining the nonsense that is happening when it comes to
Speaker 1: picking a partner and picking a mate. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'll make you feel ashamed for how much effort, how
Speaker 1: much specificity and strategy you put into it up until
Speaker 1: this point, because it was all for no reason, for nothing,
Speaker 1: for nothing.
Speaker 2: And is this guy like a scientist.
Speaker 4: I've thought about this recently, so but no one saw this.
Speaker 4: Let me just say this again so you can understand this.
Speaker 4: I read a study recently called is Romantic Desire Predictable?
Speaker 4: And they found no bro stick around. They found if
Speaker 4: they use machine learning to try and create models to
Speaker 4: try and predict if people would like each other when
Speaker 4: they met, they can predict how relatively they could predict
Speaker 4: people's tastes. Kind of, they can predict how relatively attractive
Speaker 4: people are generally other people, but the effect was really small.
Speaker 4: But dude, when two people came together, they couldn't predict anything.
Speaker 2: It's completely there dark How they.
Speaker 4: Started this article and the introduction, they talked about how
Speaker 4: speed dating apps make these claims that they can do this,
Speaker 4: but that these claims aren't scientifically vetted. The article is
Speaker 4: called is Romantic Desire Predictable? The primary author Samantha Jowel.
Speaker 4: You can literally read this if you look this up
Speaker 4: on the internet to please.
Speaker 1: Do excuse me, but saw this.
Speaker 2: Let me just joker origin story.
Speaker 1: So what we're hearing now, what we're going to discuss
Speaker 1: in our podcast is a lot of people, ourselves included,
Speaker 1: have convinced ourselves that dating and finding a partner is
Speaker 1: a series of strategic moves, right, especially in that early
Speaker 1: stage before you even met someone. The way you're presenting yourself,
Speaker 1: the social circles you hang out with, the energy that
Speaker 1: permeates the room, all of this feels so intentional. So
Speaker 1: it's to tract the right partner to have the right relationship.
Speaker 1: But what we're finding is, yes, you can dress yourself
Speaker 1: in a certain way that will make yourself look more appealing,
Speaker 1: you can go to certain places, you can interact with
Speaker 1: certain kinds of people, But whether or not there will
Speaker 1: be romantic compatibility is totally up to chance.
Speaker 2: Whoa chance vibes is this one.
Speaker 1: Study University of Pennsylvania Rooms is like, unfortunately, I'm going
Speaker 1: to debunk the science and even there's more to discuss.
Speaker 1: Let's debate this because something about the way that relationships
Speaker 1: are the fifty percent at minimum divorce rate, the amount
Speaker 1: of dating just conjecture and squabble and discussion there is
Speaker 1: it's not really getting people to this end goal they
Speaker 1: think it is. Alas, our podcast is Flex and Rooms.
Speaker 1: You can listen to it anywhere you get good podcasts.
Speaker 1: We recommend it four point nine stars, thousands of reviews,
Speaker 1: and it has won awards.
Speaker 2: Why would you laugh just a way like you're talking
Speaker 2: in this bay funny to me?
Speaker 1: Like it's a comedian.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a comedian. Comedian.
Speaker 1: If you're you've been shooting in for the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, you would have known that we are building
Speaker 1: conceptually a cult or a utopia. We talk a lot
Speaker 1: about the way the world is going to shoot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a practical conversation to have, but
Speaker 1: I also think we can invite some whimsy to it.
Speaker 1: You know, let's have a little fun with it. A
Speaker 1: few minutes ago, I told you that a computer predicted
Speaker 1: the end of the world in the seventies. Twenty fifty
Speaker 1: was the date that was given. But not to stress,
Speaker 1: because in the meantime we can still have fun. Do
Speaker 1: you want to join our cult? By listening, you're already
Speaker 1: the admission is there implicated entry fees free. We figured
Speaker 1: out that I am the leader. Yes, the cult name
Speaker 1: is Ah.
Speaker 2: The third space yep. And then the byeline is getting
Speaker 2: near it getting near?
Speaker 1: It was that? Actually what I something like that? I
Speaker 1: mean it's a work in progress. Everyone in the details,
Speaker 1: they don't really matter. It's about the feeling and the
Speaker 1: and the unity, belonging to community, et cetera. Now, geographically,
Speaker 1: oh no, here, no, I gotta I got everyone, no
Speaker 1: stress sits here right here. Our cult is called redacted.
Speaker 1: The byline, the third space. We prioritize getting near and
Speaker 1: bonding with each other.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 1: Last week we determined what roles people want to play.
Speaker 1: This week, where we're gonna build the place. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's this one house on domain I've been wanting on
Speaker 1: real estate dot com. Actually they're probably owned by the
Speaker 1: same people these days. You know, this is one house
Speaker 1: I've wanted to buy for a Jerz it.
Speaker 2: Is in another one.
Speaker 1: It's the like Palace, so the Greek not that one, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: but I know the one you're talking about. No, this
Speaker 1: one is in Queensland, Incily. If you're time in the
Speaker 1: bubble house real estate dot com, it'll be there. It's
Speaker 1: been taken off sale, okay. And it was a really
Speaker 1: great price for a cult house. I think it was
Speaker 1: about under two million. If we're put our money together,
Speaker 1: I'll definitely get the mortgage out. Don't stress. If we
Speaker 1: all put our money together, we can really get something done.
Speaker 1: It is an architectural marvel. The person selling is the
Speaker 1: architect who actually built the space. It looks like a
Speaker 1: ton of bubbles, like smashed together to build. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: dome sque house. It looks like a spaceship. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: I tried to look for it the other day. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if it's still available to buy, but if
Speaker 1: we're interested, I can reach out directly. In start of
Speaker 1: fear those conversations, I'd be more than happy to. This
Speaker 1: is the coolest thing ever Now in terms of be
Speaker 1: living there permanently, that is just me. But I will
Speaker 1: hold cult sessions on the lawn plea. The back because
Speaker 1: we will have some land and we will be growing
Speaker 1: various things on the land.
Speaker 2: It's not the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. Wow, don't worry, I will buy that house
Speaker 1: one day. Cult. Oh no, cult, I'm not stressed. I
Speaker 1: would say, though, if we're talking about a modern day
Speaker 1: cult and the way to do it, well, if we're
Speaker 1: talking about how to do anything in the best way possible,
Speaker 1: we have to look at what's not worked previously. And
Speaker 1: part of the key theme about a lot of cults
Speaker 1: is this isolation that happens from your regular life and
Speaker 1: your family into this shared space. I don't want to
Speaker 1: share a space. I live alone for a reason, So
Speaker 1: I don't think we should live together in this cult.
Speaker 1: Should we live in the same suburb, Yeah, that'd be sick, Collingwood,
Speaker 1: it's the same country. Sure, that'd be sick. But the
Speaker 1: same exact like home. Not necessary. We're adults, you don't
Speaker 1: think so. I don't think it's necessary. I think it's
Speaker 1: like a cool little like added package. You reach the
Speaker 1: top level, sure, but as a starting we're we're trying
Speaker 1: to reach the world here. I think eight billion people
Speaker 1: live on one plot of land.
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. It's a virtual place. It's like giving the
Speaker 2: meta virtual.
Speaker 1: You have a hotel, everyone, just have a hotel. We'll
Speaker 1: see that.
Speaker 2: We have a love line. Please, Caitlyn play the tape.
Speaker 2: Hello Lovely. This is my favorite segment because it's when
Speaker 2: a listener sends in h an issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, relationship dilemma.
Speaker 2: We need to get to the bottom of this is
Speaker 2: from a real life listener. Her name is redacted. I'm
Speaker 2: going to.
Speaker 1: You said a couple minutes ago. So maybe it was
Speaker 1: yesterday that you don't know. So you said earlier that
Speaker 1: you spoke to a listener who didn't know what the
Speaker 1: word redacted was and then proceeded not to explain what
Speaker 1: it was and then proceed to use it further.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but that's what it is. He wouln google
Speaker 2: it if they want. Okay, okay, So I'm going to
Speaker 2: read this out. Then we're going to take a break,
Speaker 2: and we'll come back with our opinion. So everybody please listening.
Speaker 2: Hats on, let's go. I'm seeing a guy who I
Speaker 2: was in the talking stage with for three months while
Speaker 2: he traveled well in Brackets. We met the week before
Speaker 2: he left, but was super good at keeping in touch
Speaker 2: while he was away cute. We got on so well
Speaker 2: during that stage that I assumed it would be fireworks
Speaker 2: when he finally got back. That wasn't the case for me.
Speaker 2: But he seems feel all the sparks in the world,
Speaker 2: as he is voiced many times that I'm perfect, and
Speaker 2: it feels like we've known each other before. Now that
Speaker 2: we've had sex and been intimate a handful of times,
Speaker 2: I know for certain that there's no massive spark and
Speaker 2: I won't be able to be exclusive with him. I've
Speaker 2: voiced this to him and he said he agrees and
Speaker 2: also wants something low commitment, but then he continues to
Speaker 2: do very big commitment things like hosting family dinners. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm over suggesting data activities involve a lot of more,
Speaker 2: a lot more than casual sex, and just generally being
Speaker 2: head over heels for me. Lol. What I'm wondering is
Speaker 2: why it's so hard for me to confront the fact
Speaker 2: that I'm just not that into him. In brackets to
Speaker 2: tie in through his favor audio experience xx Ah finished brackets, Lol.
Speaker 2: It seems I'm so conditioned to expect a man to
Speaker 2: reject me that I can't comprehend what to do when
Speaker 2: the cards are reversed and I'm the one wanting less
Speaker 2: exclusivity from a seemingly perfect man. Oh my god, Can
Speaker 2: you gos relate to this confusion when it comes with
Speaker 2: a man who can't get enough of you? Or am
Speaker 2: I sabotaging an otherwise amazing thing? I just want to
Speaker 2: keep a casual and see other people, but I feel
Speaker 2: it would be disrespectful, considering he's only showing me respect
Speaker 2: and affection, things most girls would kill for. I'm so
Speaker 2: sure you have some juicy thoughts. Love you both, and
Speaker 2: Mickey more than life itself. You're the best.
Speaker 1: Well I love this.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, babes. So this one's titled You're the
Speaker 2: Problem actually part one the problem. That's just part of
Speaker 2: my notes. Yeah please, there's some residual feelings.
Speaker 1: Yeah ye.
Speaker 2: So this woman was in the talking stage with the
Speaker 2: guy for three weeks. They met a week before months
Speaker 2: three months, they met a week before he went overseas,
Speaker 2: and they were dearly dealing while he was os. That's
Speaker 2: the first problem.
Speaker 1: Have great conversations. She did say they were. They were
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, continue, you look like you were frowning.
Speaker 1: She did say they were able to keep up some
Speaker 1: really good conversations, which was a good sign. And assume
Speaker 1: that when he get back, sparks would be a flying.
Speaker 1: The sparks were not flying. They went on dates, participated
Speaker 1: in intimate activities. The vibes are just not there for her.
Speaker 2: For him, he's thinking, oh my god, I found we've
Speaker 2: known each other in the life. When they hit you
Speaker 2: with that that he's done this from sort of magic. Okay,
Speaker 2: So my opinion on this is that he is whipped
Speaker 2: because a like, while he's traveling, he was putting his
Speaker 2: eggs in your basket. So he's around gallivanting the world.
Speaker 2: In his mind, he's seeing the best of the best.
Speaker 2: He's on holidays. Do you know what I'm saying? Like
Speaker 2: he's gallivanting and he's still putting his eggs into your basket,
Speaker 2: so he has like an invested interest. Meanwhile it's giving.
Speaker 2: It's giving, Like this is why you need to spend
Speaker 2: a lot of time together and not talk on the internet.
Speaker 1: You runner rooms is correct. That's not where I thought
Speaker 1: this was going. And I didn't even think of that,
Speaker 1: But you know what, you are so right? People don't ask.
Speaker 2: Surprise, No, it's a nice feeling to be like.
Speaker 1: You are so right, people will shame you for being
Speaker 1: what I refer to as a turbo data someone. In
Speaker 1: the early stages of dating, you spend a lot of
Speaker 1: consecutive time together. You might go on three dates a week.
Speaker 1: You know, asleep over, you're talking consistently. People say, slow
Speaker 1: it down, get to know each other, just thro your
Speaker 1: phone calls. Don't integrate and immerse yourself in each other
Speaker 1: so soon, because what if it doesn't work out, then
Speaker 1: you have the adverse. And obviously in this instance, there
Speaker 1: was nothing to do. You had to speak virtually the
Speaker 1: whole time. But a lot of us can relate to
Speaker 1: maintaining virtual dynamics so just pale in comparison to physical dynamics.
Speaker 1: And I think that's because we're all trained in the
Speaker 1: language and the art of interacting online. When I say
Speaker 1: we all, I'm talking about a certain demographic of internet user,
Speaker 1: dating app user. You know what to say and how
Speaker 1: to appear. And there's something so enticing and addictive and
Speaker 1: don't mean related about text messaging and online interactions. And
Speaker 1: in real life you get the best of the best
Speaker 1: and the worst of the worst. So all the good
Speaker 1: things seeing the way somebody laughs what their voice actually
Speaker 1: sounds like. Holding them going places, it's really exciting. They
Speaker 1: get the worst, the worst. You're like, oh, well, they
Speaker 1: never blow their nose and they're always just sniffling.
Speaker 2: Yuh yeah, that's a bit of me.
Speaker 1: I no oh okay, oh wow, I start a strong lome.
Speaker 1: Or they are always just like touching things when you
Speaker 1: go to shopping centers, and they have no sense of
Speaker 1: spatial awareness, and they're always running into people, and they're
Speaker 1: so loud in restaurants, and you don't catch this online
Speaker 1: and suddenly you're creating a much more clear picture and
Speaker 1: you don't really like what you see in this instance,
Speaker 1: I commend you for recognizing that what you're experiencing now
Speaker 1: is a reverse situation of what other people experience, where
Speaker 1: you know, you're usually the person who's waiting to be
Speaker 1: rejected and this time you've got quote unquote the power.
Speaker 1: But also, like, I think that entertaining someone who's not
Speaker 1: right for you for or impartial reasons, it's just as
Speaker 1: bad as entertaining someone who's not right for you for
Speaker 1: the wrong, wrong reasons. They're taking up space. You need
Speaker 1: to clear up your roster, clear cash clear cookies and
Speaker 1: make space for the real deal. I would I would
Speaker 1: imagine this person would hate to know that the only
Speaker 1: reason why you're keeping them around is because they're not
Speaker 1: quite good enough for you to leave them.
Speaker 2: Oh and I will say as well, maybe like relish
Speaker 2: in the feeling of being on the you're like shoes
Speaker 2: on You're like the shoes on the other foot. I've
Speaker 2: never experienced this. I would take this as a learning
Speaker 2: opportunity to be like all the times that I've been
Speaker 2: on the receiving end, it hasn't really been personal. It's
Speaker 2: been something a third thing that's a secret third thing.
Speaker 2: We got a listeners submission. Wanted to know if they are.
Speaker 1: Rude not the right person to ask. My parameter is
Speaker 1: so off sometimes I feel like I'm being rude, no polite,
Speaker 1: or like there have been moments where I've tried to
Speaker 1: like be the bigger person and not said something because
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna say something shady. And it's
Speaker 1: come across this me listening intently to you. I see
Speaker 1: the videos, Babe, in my head. I'm like, sometimes Fruits
Speaker 1: will stop talking like is everything occurrent? Like yeah, why?
Speaker 1: And then I see the playback.
Speaker 2: Please continue a flex and frooms. I love your podcast.
Speaker 2: Isn't it considered rude? And they've just gone straight into it?
Speaker 2: I love this. Isn't it considered rude for your date
Speaker 2: or friend or person you're hanging out with to not
Speaker 2: introduce you to whoever they run into. I was just
Speaker 2: starting to date a guy and whenever we run into
Speaker 2: people he knew, he would literally ignore me. Even the
Speaker 2: person he would run into would look me in the
Speaker 2: eyes and not say anything. This was a huge turn
Speaker 2: off for me, and in my opinion, a sign of disrespect.
Speaker 2: He can call me a friend or just say something
Speaker 2: like this is insert name here instead nothing. We're no
Speaker 2: longer dating a upset devil face nice. I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: this is a pet peve of mine as well, Queen.
Speaker 2: It is very easy to say, hey, okay, I'm out myself.
Speaker 2: I never remembert anyone's name. Okay, So when I'm with
Speaker 2: somebody else in public and I'm going to run into you,
Speaker 2: let's say I know you well, I'm still the name
Speaker 2: is going ah ah, I'll say, hey, oh my god,
Speaker 2: have you met Roger? Like I'll be like, oh hey,
Speaker 2: this is Roger, And then I just will like hope
Speaker 2: that Roger will be like, hey, I'm Roger, and they'll
Speaker 2: be like, oh, my name's Lucy. Right, that's what I do.
Speaker 2: I could never have someone m I don't like the
Speaker 2: idea of like being with someone and they're just like
Speaker 2: sitting there like a b May I please please don't.
Speaker 1: There have been instances where I have not introduced the
Speaker 1: person i'm speed to the person i'm with because I
Speaker 1: don't like the person i'm speaking to, because I don't
Speaker 1: want to invite them further into my life and spread
Speaker 1: the network wide open and provide context. It's similar to
Speaker 1: the way that, like, you know, sometimes you receive an
Speaker 1: email from someone and you're like, just because you've sent
Speaker 1: it and it's landed, I'm not going to respond because
Speaker 1: I don't want to respond to what's in this email.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to deal with it. Same
Speaker 1: with interactions. I really value the friends that I have,
Speaker 1: but I also have a ton of people that I
Speaker 1: interact with on a daily basis who I don't think
Speaker 1: it's necessary to rope them in or like bridge the
Speaker 1: gap between stranger and close person. To me, it's just
Speaker 1: not necessary. Sometimes. If that's not the case, if we're
Speaker 1: at just like a communal house party or whatever. I
Speaker 1: won't introduce the person I'm with to the person who's
Speaker 1: saying hello, because I don't want to have a bigger
Speaker 1: conversation than a fleeting high by, because if I can't
Speaker 1: do a high hi, this is Licinda to go.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm a bit of that, but it's obvious.
Speaker 1: Really, I want to be I obvious in the way
Speaker 1: that it's sending mixed signals. I want it to be
Speaker 1: clear what I'm doing without having to say the words.
Speaker 1: I like that. So if I've heard a few feelings
Speaker 1: on the way, I do understand, and.
Speaker 2: We unreservedly don't apologize. But there's definitely some empathy there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in this instance, I see why you'd feel some
Speaker 1: kind of way. It feels when it's in the context
Speaker 1: of a dating concept, you'd be like, whoa, whoa, Can
Speaker 1: I get a little suck for my efforts here and
