I wouldn't say they can completely change who you are, but they can exaggerate certain parts of you.

And that's really what happened in the start of my kind of journey.

I still think that I definitely approached the experiment with the wrong mindset.

I treated it like a matchmaking service, which it's obviously not.

Obviously not.

Just look at their odds.

That would be the worst matchmaker of all time.

But that's the way I walked into it.

And so my behavior kind of reflected that.

And yeah, they kind of exaggerated to the nth degree and said, right, let's take away any semblance of humor.

I'm naturally pretty self-deprecating.

I love to take the piss out of myself.

That's what I do on my TikTok all day long.

And they took that away and then it just came across this arrogant guy like, oh my God, like he thinks he's better than everybody.

And so that's the way I see that.

When I came back, I wasn't a different person.

I was just treating it like an experiment.

Like, okay, let's engage with this.

Let's see where this takes me.

Not just like, hang on a minute.
