Felicity: When’s it recording?

Voice from the side: It’s recording right now.

Felicity: It’s recording now?!

Voice from the side: Is it recording? Yeah. 3, 2, 1 Go!

Felicity: Hello, my name’s -

Mari: Hey!

Felicity: Oh shit..

Mari: Ok. 3, 2, …

Felicity: Hi! My name’s Felicity.

Mari: My name’s Mary. So…today we’re gonna talk about…dating apps!

Felicity: So do you use dating apps?

Mari: Well, I used Tinder before. Have you ever used Tinder?

Felicity: Ah yes.

Mari: Yes.

Felicity: I love dating website!

Mari: Do you guys know Tinder? Or Pairs?

Felicity: Or Blendr?

Mari: Blendr or Grindr? It’s like a dating app basically and if you upload your profile picture or your profile information, then you can find guys or girls…

Felicity: People on the internet.

Mari: People on the internet. And you can date with him or her! Why do you like dating apps?

Felicity: Why?…Well the main reason is you can meet people from the comfort of your own bed. You know…I can be a little like..I’m shy. You don’t wanna be rejected face to face in a bar. Like do I approach them, do I not? On a dating website…it…there’s not that factor so much for me. It’s like you think you know… “They’re cute!” send them a message…They reply or not. You don’t really mind.

Mari: So have you ever met, like…person actually.

Felicity: Yes of course.

Mari: …after using a dating app?

Felicity: Of course!

Mari: How was it? Like…do you have any bad experience?

Felicity: There’s a lot of bad experiences…but there are really good ones there. You’ve gotta find… It’s like if you’re someone who…you know like how some shops have the bargain bin? And it’s basically a load of rubbish clothes? And you gotta dig through them…But then you find this one great piece that’s like 100 Yen and you’re like, “YES! THIS IS AMAZING!” That…that…that is what dating websites are like.

Mari: So…when you’re looking at someone’s profile…what are the things that you look for?

Felicity: Well…with a dating website the first thing that comes up is someone’s photograph. Their picture.

Mari: Definitely, yeah.

Felicity: And…so for me definitely the first impression is how someone looks. But um…

Mari: What kinda guy do you like?

Felicity: HIGE.

Mari: Oh yeah, I remember!

Felicity: I like facial hair!

Mari: Yeah..

Felicity: But I mean there’s more to it than that. For example… I mean I was quite quick setting up my profile. So I didn’t really set my age settings right. And um…there’s a surprising amount of young 20…21 year old guys using these websites.

Mari: Yeah!

Felicity: For me…I’m looking for someone my age or older. I’m 26.

Mari: I’m 25.

Felicity: So immediately, even if they’re good looking, if they’re younger than me I’m like, “No. No.” Then the next thing I look for is how many photos they have.

Mari: Ok. Do you read the profile?

Felicity: Ah…not really.

Mari: Not really, ok.

Felicity: If there’s only one photograph, I generally…I’m not interested. It’s kind of suspicious. You know everyone has a good photograph of themselves.

Mari: At least one.

Felicity: The lighting is perfect.

Mari: The angle is really good.

Felicity: I look like a supermodel in this photo! I’m gonna put it up! Secondly, I don’t like photographs where people are tryin’ to hide part of their face.

Mari: Ohhh….

Felicity: That’s not necessarily because I think they’re trying to hide the fact that they’re …

Mari: Are there any guys trying to hide their faces?

Felicity: Oh yeah! There are loads! But you’re using the website so have a little more (?) confidence.

Mari: Do you think like…do you think some people are using the dating app to find a serious relationship?

Felicity: Yeah. Some people are.

Mari: Do you think it’s possible?

Felicity: Oh yeah!

Mari: I mean for me…

Felicity: I’ve had serious relationships with dating apps.

Mari: Oh really? That’s awesome! Really like for me, especially maybe like Tinder, I think a lot of people are using Tinder to just hook up you know?

Felicity: Yeah…but…

Mari: Maybe it starts from hooking up…or something but…

Felicity: a lot of people are…and yeah like you said…sometimes when you’re least expecting it…it happens.

Mari: Yeah. So you use the dating app here too right?

Felicity: Yeah.

Mari: Do you date with Japanese guys too?

Felicity: Yeah.

Mari: Oh cool! Wow!

Felicity: I had a lot of guy friends who were using it. And they were using it for sex. And they were even competing with each other. You know how many girls…

Mari: How many??

Felicity: They can meet and get. I was like I wanna join in, I wanna join in! Do you use one of these apps? Leave us a comment…

Mari: Below.

Felicity: And let us know your experiences…both good, bad,…and horrifically embarrassing would be great. So…please read the transla…fuck. Be sure to check out the website, read the translation for colloquial phrases found in this episode, and please like and …

Felicity: 録画してる？

Voice from the side: もう録画してるよ。

Felicity: 今録画してるの？！

Voice from the side: 録画してる？うん、３，２，１，ｺﾞー！

Felicity: こんにちは、私の名前はー

Mari: やぁ！

Felicity: え、クソ…

Mari: はい。３，２…

Felicity: やぁ！私の名前はFelicityだよ。

Mari: 私の名前はMaryだよ。で…今日話す内容は…出会い系アプリ！

Felicity: ねぇ、出会い系アプリ使う？

Mari: うん、Tinderは前使ったことあるよ。Tinder使ったことある？

Felicity: あぁ、うん。

Mari: うん。

Felicity: 私出会い系サイト大好き！

Mari: みんなはTinder知ってる？それかペアーズ？

Felicity: それかBlendr？

Mari: BeldnerかGrindr？まぁ、出会い系アプリで、ざっと言うとプロフィール写真アップしてプロフィールの情報を入れると、男の子なり女の子なり、探せるよ。

Felicity: ネットにいる人。

Mari: ネットにいる人。それで彼もしくは彼女とデートできるの！何で出会い系アプリが好きなの？

Felicity: 何で？…まぁ、一番大きな理由は自分のベットの中にいながら人と出会えるから。ほら…そのままでさ…私ってシャイだから。面と面向かってバーで断られたくないじゃない。話しかけるか、話しかけないか？でも出会い系サイトだと…ね…そんなの気にしないでしょ。考えてさ…「可愛い！」って思ったらメッセージ送って…返事が来るか来ないか。あまり気にしないじゃん。

Mari: でさ、今までで会ったことある？直接。

Felicity: うん、もちろん。

Mari: …出会い系アプリ使って？

Felicity: もちろん！

Mari: どうだった？なんか…嫌な経験とかある？

Felicity: 嫌な経験たくさんあるよ…だけど、いい経験もあるよ。探さなくちゃ…もしあなたがね、例えばお店でバーゲンしてる時あるでしょ？それってほとんどゴミみたいな服じゃん？それでも掘り下げていくとねぇ、そこで最高な物を100円で見つけたりして「やった！これ最高！」それ、それ、それがね、出会い系サイトみたいなもん。

Mari: で…誰かのプロフィール見てる時…どんなもの探してる？

Felicity: えっと…出会い系サイトだとまず最初に相手の写真みるでしょ。相手の写真。

Mari: 当然、うん。

Felicity: それで…私だと第一印象って外見なの。でも…

Mari: どんな男が好き？

Felicity: ヒゲ！

Mari: あ、そうだね、思い出した！

Felicity: ヒゲ生えてる人好き！

Mari: うん…

Felicity: でもそれ以上にもあるよ。例えば…私はプロフィール設定するの早かったの。だから年齢とかの設定してなかったの。それでね…意外と若い20歳…21歳の男性もサイト使ってたの。

Mari: そう！

Felicity: 私は…私より歳上の人を探してるの。私、26なの。
