00:00The Never Ever Mets is premiering this week for season 2.
00:05Congratulations!
00:06Thank you!
00:07I know there's a lot of dating shows out there.
00:09I mean, what makes this one different or better?
00:13Um, well, considering the dating climate today, where there's a lot of boo-boo in the dating
00:18pool, I think this show is different because it's relatable.
00:21This is where people are doing their online dating and they're finally meeting each other
00:24in person and we actually provide a safe environment for the couple to actually meet.
00:28And then, it makes it better because they got me as a host.
00:30Okay, yeah.
00:31I know.
00:32So what's the wildest thing that's gone down so far?
00:36I mean, there's gotta be a lot, right?
00:38Because they meet online and then they kind of join together.
00:41So what's been the craziest thing?
00:42Definitely a lot of catfishing.
00:43Catfishing?
00:44Wow.
00:45I mean, we see that on Instagram with the filters and stuff like that.
00:49But I did have a guy on the show who kept saying, you know, I've only seen this chick
00:52from the chest up.
00:53And when he finally saw her in person, I think he was a little disappointed.
00:56Are there any dating profile do's and don'ts?
01:00Yes.
01:01Okay.
01:02The do's, absolutely, absolutely be authentic.
01:05Right?
01:06Okay.
01:07It's only so long you can put on a facade.
01:08It's only so long you can put on a face.
01:09No filters.
01:10Okay, no filters.
01:11You don't want to see the filters on the profile.
01:12That's a don't, right?
01:13That's definitely a don't.
01:14Apparently, dating experts are saying coffee shops are the new dating hotspots for singles
01:20instead of hitting up like bars or fancy dinner spots.
01:23What do you think?
01:24Is that a sneaky way of saying, I'm too broke for dinner, but still looking for love?
01:29Because I know some of the ladies don't like going out to coffee for the first date, you
01:33know?
01:34You guys, relax, please.
01:37Yes.
01:38Coffee shops are the way to go.
01:40It's intimate.
01:41It gives you more space and room to actually converse with one another.
01:43You get to know your person.
01:45When you're in a bar, it's too loud.
01:46I can't hear you.
01:47We take a couple drinks and then after that, he's asking me, you want to go after this?
01:51What do you want to do?
01:52Oh, yeah.
01:53So it's a trick.
01:55Another tip, ladies and gentlemen.
01:57If you want to find your dream man, you ask yourself, you write down your pros and cons
02:01of what you're looking for in a man.
02:03So if you want a handyman, a man who's good with his hands, that's me.
02:06You can find me in a Home Depot aisle.
02:07You can find me in Menards, okay?
02:09Because I know I'm going to find a man who's good with his hands.
02:11Because a lot of people say, you know, dating is trash, it's this, but it's like, where
02:14are you going?
02:15Because you're not going to find him at the bar.
02:16You're not going to find him at the strip club.
02:19You're going to find him at the Starbucks.
02:21You're going to find him at the coffee beans.
02:24You're going to find him at these coffee shops.
02:25It's more intimate.
02:26We know all those women, I'm not going to lie, me included, when we all go on a date
02:31with a guy and we purposely order the most expensive thing on the menu, should we be
02:37more mindful of, you know, male's pockets?
02:41Ladies, y'all making it real hard for me to get my man because he's automatically going
02:46to assume that I want his money that he already ain't even got.
02:50I don't want your money, sir, guy, man.
02:53We got to stop doing that.
02:54If you know you're not going to spend it on yourself, don't go and use and abuse somebody
02:58else's pockets.
02:59It's not cool.
