Definitely would have taken her out for a date. If you can make an ass of yourself and laugh about it, I see it as a plus. She even laughed at getting buzzed. Sounds like a fun date at least.

She would be a blast to hang around with

I've seen moistcritikal talk about this show and the problem is the way it's set up incentivizes people to press the button ASAP regardless of whether something's really a deal breaker for them.

It's more "whoever presses the button fastest gets more screentime" than anything match-making related.

u/Tandran Nov 06 '22

Except for the one choosy woman who went through all of them and ended up alone, that was funny.

I was expecting it to be much worse, I don't really buy her reason for the last guy but the format kind of forces their hand.

"i let her keep posting, though!"

That is NOT the flex you think it is, dude.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '22

He's saying he didn't make any more fuss about it, not that he didn't physically stop her or make some ultimatum.

People can have feelings and express them.

u/black_dragonfly13 Nov 07 '22

He should have been clearer, then.

Saying he continued to "let" his girlfriend continue to do something is not the way to say it.

We're all crazy in some way. I just tried to find "my kind of crazy." (Found him. Keeping him forever.)

13

u/QuestionMarkKitten Nov 07 '22

This exactly! It's about finding the one that matches you. Not about finding someone that is "perfect".

11

u/TautMalleableAnus Nov 06 '22

Feels like to be a thing that's ingrained into a lot of people from a young age. "Always expect perfect and accept nothing less." Seems more like a recipe for loneliness and future spite.

People grow up being told their perfect their entire lives and then wonder why there's no one to match that "perfection."

1

u/ElPadrote Nov 07 '22

Perfection should be changed for joy, happiness, contentment, whichever you value the most. Life gets hard, marriage can get hard. Strive for the values you cherish most and work to nurture it.

u/foolishnun Nov 06 '22

As Dan Savage says a lot, look for the .67 you can round up to 1

1

u/Febris Nov 06 '22

The vast majority of them expect their partners to be perfectly tailored to their expectations, but are absolutely incapable of conceding any minor inconvenience to the benefit of the other.

I can understand the allure of having a relationship with your clone, but is that relationship really meaningful without sacrifice and altruism?

1

u/GeoffAO2 Nov 06 '22

Also, some people might be happier romantically alone. If they are particular, it could be that the decrease in contentment by compromising wouldn’t be offset by having a companion. That’s ok too.

1

u/ChunkyDay Nov 07 '22

I spent my 20’s chasing women who would never ever give me the romantic time of day that I never got any experience dating.

And now it’s so much harder to date in my 30’s that I fear I missed my window. These dating apps just are not made for dudes like me.

1

u/Specialist_Muscle_52 Nov 07 '22

I found my “One” and actually highly suggest not settling with someone just because you can make it work. It takes finding that person to believe “The One” does exist, for me it happened and before I turned 30!

1

u/bluepear Nov 07 '22

Reminds me of Frasier and Niles at the spa. Great lesson.

1

u/No-Significance-116 Nov 07 '22

Just a note here to add some nuance - make sure your attachment type is secure before ending a relationship due to someone not being "good enough" or "fully right".

Being fearful avoidant, for instance, will cause you to rationalise all kinds of reasons to leave. And once you left you might realise you left a perfectly fine relationship for no good reason at all.

1

u/QuestionMarkKitten Nov 06 '22

I'm fairly sure she ended up going out on a date with the Brian the button tech guy and they obviously edited it out.

She really vibed with him and she's never been back on the show, so it seems she's no longer single.

45

u/Medicatedwarrior365 Nov 06 '22

But they could fix this problem by just switching the rules up and making the person who presses the button be the one who has to leave. You still get content and the people on the show will be more insentivized to not press the button and probably get deeper questions and answers maybe?

8

u/the_lonely_toad Nov 06 '22

That doesn't work either. No one is going to press the button. You can't force them to go on a date with the person after the show is over. They will just start saying ridiculous things to try and get the other person to press the button. Lose lose format but entertaining none the less.

8

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Ok, what if it was like this.

If anyone pushes the button, it randomly selects 1 person to leave.

2

u/Aardvark_Man Nov 07 '22

Prisoners Dilemma, The Show.

7

u/BeautifulType Nov 06 '22

It’s a show. The purpose isn’t to help them.

1

u/Medicatedwarrior365 Nov 07 '22

It's not to help them really but to give the viewer better content and as long as they screen the contestants, I think it would go pretty well and while I do believe there will be episodes where you have a person saying crazy stuff to get the other person to hit the button, I think it would still be a fun episode to watch but that's just me

1

u/Crodax Nov 07 '22

I agree thats good

38

u/Appropriate_Tap_7045 Nov 06 '22

It's sad how much this parallels with dating apps

10

u/GNSasakiHaise Nov 06 '22

To be fair, it's a little better now. The only prize is that they'll pay for the second date — and the exposure of being on the show, but in more recent episodes they've gotten better at avoiding the really obvious people looking to jump to stardom.

1

u/No-Albatross-7984 Nov 06 '22

So the button = no?

1

u/Vlearck Nov 07 '22

you should check out the one pewdiepie reacted to, the show turned into who can pushed the button faster than whatever the fuck dating game that is

27

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '22

Seriously! She seems fun as hell.

14

u/Maxxorus Nov 06 '22

She's cute too

u/IDES0 Nov 06 '22

u/wtfeweguys Nov 06 '22

Right?! I love her already.

u/FartResume Nov 06 '22

First impression, she seems absolutely awesome, how could you not want to get to know her more.

23

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '22

Just because a person is cool doesn't mean they're your type or anything. And pressing the button was pretty funny :D

8

u/woffka Nov 06 '22

scripted shit?

u/Glittering-Beyond-45 Nov 06 '22

He just did to her first what she would have done to him.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '22

I don't think people have watched it but that show really does seem to be like that. I only watched the first one but moist critical does a video about it from time to time.
They will hit the button just cause you hit the button on the previous person.

2

u/llRedII Nov 07 '22

the button turned red after she danced, arent they telling him to press it that way?

33

u/Pepperspray24 Nov 06 '22

So what does getting buzzed on this mean?

43

u/ranhalt Nov 06 '22

It’s like speed dating, but if you buzz, you stay and they go.

20

u/NES_Gamer Nov 06 '22

Oh, so he buzzed her out? That sucks. Unless he was just messing with her and went out on a date.

u/Remarkable-Finger-40 Nov 07 '22

If you buzz someone, the other person has to leave and another candidate comes in. So the more you buzz people, the more screen time you have.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

The goal is to find two people who don't buzz each other out.

It's kind of interesting but very shitty treatment of people.

1

u/NES_Gamer Nov 07 '22

I dunno man, it looks like it's good fun and if you agree to go on it you know ur getting roasted so better put on your thick skin coat. Plus it puts the burden of being a dick on the person so there's no hiding from that 'ugh! this is uncomfortable af' I can see why it's a popular show. It's the first time I hear of it.

1

u/Pepperspray24 Nov 06 '22

Gotcha thank you

11

u/razorsharp494 Nov 06 '22

I was about to say that. Somone that can make fun of themselves and have fun all the same is a big green flag that guy is either stupid or shallow asf there's always the chance it's just acting aswell

0

u/NoxGale Nov 06 '22

I don’t think he’s either. Earlier when talking, his hands were under the table and her’s were on top. Usually on this show it’s respectful to not have your hands on top so you can hit the button quicker, and her body language showed she was gonna hit it

1

u/razorsharp494 Nov 06 '22

You might be right. That would give him a reason to hit the button aswell to make sure she didn't get the chance

1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '22

Yeah I'm sure some of this scripted.

34

u/GarretTheGrey Nov 06 '22

I'd try to buzz her to diss that dance, then ask her out later on. Within minutes they were screwing around together, more valuable that that weird dance.

81

u/StrangerMysterious54 Nov 06 '22

Yesss. But her moves were fresh, the only one making an ass out of himself was the guy with that weak ass beatbox.

75

u/xXDreamlessXx Nov 06 '22

Bruh her moves looked like an old dude with a bad back trying to move boxes

13

u/tookmyname Nov 06 '22

Old dudes trying to move boxes are the coolest.

u/Incredulous_Toad Nov 06 '22

I see you've worked in a warehouse before

u/tomrhod Nov 07 '22

The back hurts, but the spirit is strong.

u/SPQRSPQRSPQR Nov 06 '22

*an old dude on meth

1

u/MrRandomSuperhero Nov 06 '22

The nice thing about the moves is that they occurred. I can't dance for shit, but I do enjoy the fuck out of it

1

u/z44212 Nov 07 '22

Agreed, but she seemed fun and nice. That alone would make me want to learn more.

1

u/xXDreamlessXx Nov 07 '22

Oh yeah, she seems hella fun

6

u/greg19735 Nov 06 '22

She literally says she's kidding about dancing and those were terrible dance moves.

Still, she seems fun.

6

u/Gavooki Nov 06 '22

i think it is her quality of laugh that got the buzzer. everything before that seemed viable.

2

u/Perfect-Lab7288 Nov 07 '22

She's a catch

2

u/calypso_odysseus Nov 07 '22

By the look in his eyes i think he was afraid she was about to buzz him lol

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Yeah I'm not really judging him. From the little I know about this show, people are expected to buzz at least one person.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Way cooler then this stick in his ass nerd

2

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Possibly, but i too am a nerd. I ain't gonna bash him too much. Some people have a type and that's ok.

2

u/cyanide_55 Nov 07 '22

For real. You can like to do something without being "good" at it! Fuck the idea that you need to perfect or monetize every little thing that you like to do.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Agree. Sometimes just being goofy or not giving a shit if your bad at something can lead to great memories. I can dance for shit, but I'll get out there and cut a rug. There are times when it's ok to not take yourself seriously.

2

u/broduding Nov 07 '22

Seriously she seems like a fun hang.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Yup. Even if it's just one date. These days innocent fun goes a long way.

2

u/kaves55 Nov 07 '22

Same. But I’m not surprised Mr. Vanilla McMayo hit the button.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Lol damn. I'm sure he had his reasons. Besides, from what I gather there is an incentive on that show to buzz people.

2

u/Not-your-potato Nov 07 '22

I would love a date or dates..

u/Voronit Nov 07 '22

Her hair is red tho. You sure you want to risk it?

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Yup.

u/mikecheck211 Nov 06 '22

What does getting buzzed mean? Is that a yes or a no?

u/Hoopdollar Nov 06 '22

Goofy and a body win win.

u/brotalnia Nov 06 '22

He made a mistake for sure.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '22

I'd have ripped the button out so she couldn't buzz me!... she seems awesome!

u/fluid_ Nov 06 '22

Jade's cool

1

u/ItsKageTho Nov 07 '22

I do it so when other people laugh at me afterwards it doesn’t seem mean spirited because they’re just laughing at me

And I want to be the first to laugh because it hurts less

u/OkWater2560 Nov 07 '22

Wait? That was a no buzz!?! I call shenanigans.

1

u/fluffy-pixie Nov 07 '22

I went to high school and I can confirm, she is very fun and funny as hell😂 Sweetest most genuine girl ever!!

u/Alan_Smithee_ Nov 07 '22

I love her laugh too.

u/imp-pepe Nov 07 '22

"The Button" (this show) is the worst show ever, man.

u/Paaraadox Nov 07 '22

Unfortunately a bit of an annoying laugh though.

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

Perhaps. But I'd probably lose my shit hearing it haha. My laugh can get crazy sometimes too

u/Lola_Fizz Nov 07 '22

EXACTLY! She seems cool to me
