    They should interview the guy after the date as well. Maybe he also think they can at best be friends. Sometimes we need to take a good look at at ourselves before setting so many criteria

      @@jamesmadison3108 Height is the number one filter girls look for in dating apps. Its sexist, but its true and society supports it. As a 180+ man with 30+ bodycount, I can tell you this is the reality. For this reason I am seeking 165 + partners myself, so my kids will have a genetic headstart in life.

    Hey Sue Ann, WJ seems nice. Don't lose hope! I think try to sit back and wait for him to ask you some questions, rather than sending all the questions his way. There are things like shoes that can make a guy seem taller, sometimes the perfect guy for you is just 10cm shorter. Because the 10cm taller guy wants women with other criteria too. All the very best! Dont give up and keep meeting people.

    Am I the only one who don't care about height and ambition lol? I'm super nua, after a long day at work the last thing I want is an ambitious guy telling me to hustle more.
    I don't really get the attraction to tall guys either. To me guys with liberal values, a curious mind, a shiny backbone and loves dogs are always way more attractive. WJ mentions Nietzsche, I'm more of a Camus girl myself, hopefully one day I too can find someone who is into philosophy to go on a date with 😆

No need license, no governor bounding, no contract agreement! Better than working in real estate.

    There is nothing wrong with the girl or the guy. But just that they are not for each other.
    Not sure is it how this video was made. The guy comes across as geeky, meek and pretty introverted. While Sue-Ann is pretty assertive.
    I am not a person to judge either of the couple, but I would say Sue -Ann will prefer a person who takes more of the leadership role in the relationship even though I’m not saying she be the submissive one.
    WJ won’t be the one for her.
    There is also nothing wrong with WJ, nothing wrong with being geeky or meek or introverted, but when it comes to dating and relationship, pls learn how to juggle the game and hold the reins. Girls are usually more impressed with guys who take the initiative and show the guy/male side in them.
