[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=3) Do you feel like, like, like men... How should I say this?

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=9) Men don't really shoot their shot anymore in real life because of social media making things feel like a simulation.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=18) Well- Do you think that's true or no? Um, I, I believe it is true because it's, it's not a task anymore.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=25) Mm. It's just, I can just hit you on Woot Wap.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=29) If you react, we hollering, we chopping, Woot Wap Boom.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=33) Our era, I gotta look at you. Mm. I gotta talk to you.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=36) I gotta get you to like me. Mm. I gotta know who your parents are.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=39) I gotta know your movement. I gotta, like, really get involved with you before I can get involved with you. Mm-hmm.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=45) Over here, I can just send you a couple of pictures, a couple of lines and shit, and I'm expecting...

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=50) We expecting to do some things- Right ... based off of these few words. Right.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=54) But in real life, you gotta earn that. I agree. And I feel like this is the cheat code.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=58) It's cutting all of that out. And like, if I text you something, you may take it the wrong way.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=63) I may be just saying, "You look good today. How you doing?"

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=67) "What you mean I look good today? What the whoa, whoa, whoa." No, I didn't mean it like that.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=71) I meant like, on... The text ain't giving you emotion. Mm-hmm. It ain't giving you feeling.

[1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=76) It ain't giving you what I'm saying. It's giving you what I'm typing. Right.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=79) And you may interpret it a different way.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N1nnqSVEzWN2/en/how-social-media-changed-dating-and-approaching-people-in-person?t=81) Right. Facts.
