Creating Lucy's Online Dating Profile | Hannah Witton

- Disclaimer, still have those ulcers,
so can't speak properly.
This is just a thing. - You should show me them.
- Do you really want to see?
- Yeah, I want to see.
A bad ulcer is impressive.
- Okay, so there's this one up here,
- Yep, that's cute.
- And then there's one on the side of my cheek.
- I can't see it.
Oh yeah, ooh, that's a bad one.
- Yeah.
So this video is sponsored by Match.
They are a dating app,
and basically Lucy is very single right now.
- I'm very single.
- And I'm very smug, and in a relationship,
- Yeah, remember what this was like this time last year?
- I know.
Complete role reversal.
- Tables have turned. - Mm-hmm.
- Not bitter about it.
However, we do have a problem,
which is that we have a certain podcast we want to film
with respect to partners, so we have to find me a match.
- We do, yes. - I have to have a match.
- In November, we're reading a book
about masculinity, and we thought it would be
really funny for the mini-sode for
our boyfriends to read the book,
and review it, so we need to find Lucy
a boyfriend by November.
And so that is where Match comes in.
And today, we are going to be setting up a
profile for Lucy.
And I'm very excited, because I'm that smug,
in a relationship friend (laughing).
- You can do fun stuff with this.
I am terrified.
I'm scared of online dating,
I'm hoping Match-- - Have you done it before?
- Yes, I've done a little bit of it.
When I was like 19, 20-ish, I went on a bunch of dates.
All of them were interesting experiences.
I would say, arguably, one highly unsuccessful.
- You can start downloading the app and filling stuff in,
and I will explain to the people this thing
that Match have just launched, which is
this badge that guys can get if they're
super cool, respectful humans.
The general vibe and stereotype of a lot of online dating,
and I experienced this when I did online dating,
and I'm sure you have too,
is just the creepy guys.
What Match have done, is that
you have to hit a certain amount of criteria,
and you get a special Match badge,
and that's basically a way,
'cause guys-- - Very useful.
- 'Cause the thing is that some guys
who actually genuinely want to meet people on dating apps,
are like, "I never get a response from people,
"It's just impossible being a guy online,"
because of the very annoying, creepy minority of guys,
and they just put a lot of women off.
This is A) for ladies, straight ladies, who want to be like,
"Oh, that's where the decent men are,"
and also for the decent guys who want to be like,
"Hey, don't ignore my message I'm actually a nice person."
- Very true.
- There it is.
- Hey. - Oh.
- Hey.
Got to get this Match badge.
- Can this work for gay men as well?
- Yeah, 100%, yeah. - Great.
- Are lesbians creepy on online dating?
I don't know.
Let us know.
- Yeah, comments. - Is that a thing?
Is that a thing?
- What's my username?
I can't tell you the secret username that I use.
I can whisper it to you.
- I have a secret username that I use on online dating.
- You tell me and I'll tell you.
- Okay.
(whispering) (laughing)
Mine has to do with animals too.
- Go on.
(whispering)
(laughing)
Yours is better than mine.
Okay, so should I just be Lucy Moon?
Amazing.
- Boring, boring hurry up.
Get to the juicy bits.
- Sorry you distracted me with all of this nice,
interesting info about how to get men.
- How to get a man to like you.
I used to go through phases of
not doing online dating at all,
and then taking it really seriously.
- Yeah, I do exactly the same.
Exciting stuff is starting now.
"Complete your profile in just two minutes."
- Let's do it.
- "How do you feel about getting involved
"in a relationship?
"Yes, I'm ready for a new relationship,
"Maybe, let's see what happens,
"No, not looking for a relationship."
I'm not looking for,
I'm not like, keen-- - You're a maybe.
"What is you're relationship status?"
Oh, widowed. - Oh geeze.
Never married.
"Are you a parent?"
No. - I want to be.
- I keep having dreams about pregnancy.
"Do you want children?"
- Definitely.
Definitely is one of the options.
It's not even like yes or no, it's definitely.
- What is your--
- Just turn off your notifications sweetie.
- How do I do that?
Oh, I didn't know that existed.
"What is your level of education?"
Bachelor's degree.
- Bachelor's.
We both have history degrees.
(imitates bell ringing)
- "Height."
if anyone's ever wondering, I'm 5'7", 169 centimetres.
Add me, ASL.
- I am 5'0".
I am sitting on a cushion right now.
- I was gonna mention it,
didn't want to mention it.
Let us know your hair colour.
- What the hell is salt-and-pepper?
- Salt-and-pepper is grey with black bits.
When you're going grey, it's like sexy George Clooney man.
"Do you smoke?"
No, smoke is not a problem.
- Oh, see I'm such a like, "No, smoke is a problem."
- But then you date a person who smokes.
- Not cigarettes.
- Yeah, but vaping.
- Yeah, but it's 'cause he's quitting.
That's why.
I'll allow it.
- This is the big deal. - Oh, what is it?
Ooh!
Do you have an imperfection?
Let's go through them.
- "I'm always late." - Yes.
- "I can be clumsy." - I don't know.
- "I'm sensitive." - Meh.
- "I'm a daydreamer." - Yes.
- "I can be indecisive."
- Oh, I'm answering for Lucy by the way, not myself.
- Hannah knows me very well.
Hannah, you probably know me one of the best
out of all my YouTube friends.
- It's because we are friends,
but we also work together.
- Yeah so you see--
- I see all of it.
- "I can be hot-headed." - No.
- "I'm disorganised." - Yes.
That is Lucy. - Very disorganised.
- And as an organised person,
- I cause so much stress to Hannah, unintentionally.
I remember there was one time where you turned to me
and you said, "You know what, Lucy
"I thought you were organised.
"You put on a really good front of being organised,
"but as soon as I started working with you,
"you are the most disorganised person."
- Yeah, that's so true.
As your friend, I thought you were organised,
and then when we did Banging Book Club together,
I was like, "Lucy is not organised."
- "I'm shy." - No.
- "I'm a big kid." - No.
- "I can be stubborn." - Nuh-uh.
- "In work environments."
"I'm a hypochondriac."
No, maybe a bit. - Am I a hypochondriac?
I'm a hypochondriac. - Let me call my doctor.
"I'm easily swept off my feet."
- Nah.
- "I'm a chatterbox." - Yeah.
- "I can be a little over exuberant."
- Yeah that's me (laughing)
- "I can be too hyperactive." - Also me.
- I think disorganised is the one, isn't it?
- Disorganised.
- Great, upload your profile picture now.
- Oh, do a selfie.
I'm out.
Guys, this is how--
- No, I've got a straggly bit of hair.
- We're watching the selfie master at work here.
If you don't follow Lucy on Instagram, then,
wait what was that?
(laughing)
- "Write a description for who you are,
"and what you're looking for."
- Oh I hate doing this.
- I think that we can come up with something very funny.
- But even your Twitter bio says
this is where I list all my achievements.
- How'd you know that?
I thought no one would ever see that.
"Who am I?" - Who are you, Lucy?
- I am ENFP, Pisces,
great sense of humour.
I don't actually know if I have a great--
decent sense of humour. - You make me laugh.
Decent sense of humour.
- Maybe we should date.
- I'm taken, sorry.
- Oh God, (spring reverberating).
- What?
No names. - Oh, can't do that.
Bleep it. - Bleep, Lucy just said
my boyfriend's name.
- Sorry. - It's not allowed.
- Mega-famous YouTube star.
(snorting)
And then, "What do I do on the weekends?"
Makes podcast about sex on the weekends.
- (laughing) books about sex.
- I'm trying to seduce a man, Hannah.
- True (laughing).
- "Likes orange squash." - Um-hmm.
- "And peanut butter sandwiches."
- No.
- Who am I looking for?
- Oh, what are you looking for Lucy?
- Looking for a woke man
who is happy to catch moths and remove them from my room.
- I like that. - I'm too scared
to do that.
Our first selection.
Oh, he looks fun.
Kind of cute.
- (burping) Pardon me.
- "Well done!
"You finished!" (imitates bell dinging)
- I need to view some singles.
- Now Lucy, you have until November
to find yourself a boyfriend
so we can record this podcast.
August, September, October, November.
Four months.
- I would love a non-creep man to match with.
Kind of like on that
dog borrowing website, you have to get approved.
You have to have a badge or approval.
- Oh my God, I heard about that.
If you want to just hang out with someone else's dog.
- Yeah.
You have to prove you can look after them.
So it's basically that.
He has to prove he can look after me.
- Sure.
(laughing)
'Cause you're a dog. - Lucy,
reinforcing gender stereotypes
since 2017.
- Thank you guys so much for watching.
I'll leave a link in the description
where you can do download the Match app,
and go online dating.
- Come find me. - Find Lucy.
Find the one, whoever.
