And I would also say that whereas the wrestling event was very queer, it seemed like there was a lot of diversity in terms of...

Gender identity in terms of sexuality.

This was solidly heterosexual.

Men seeking women, women seeking men.

And then I think one other thing that's really important to note here is I counted maybe 15 women at this event.

And there were, counting me, five men.

Wow.

Totally.

I did.

Yeah, so I talked to a few folks.

One woman really stuck out to me.

Her name was Belle Levy.

And for her, the dating apps really didn't feel like they fully represented who she was.

And showing up to an event like this really allowed her to sort of effortlessly be herself.

Yeah, I talked to one guy there, Kevin Gao, who was just recently back in the dating world.

And he really didn't like how the apps were so focused on first impressions, first impressions that could be deceiving.

Basically, he was saying that sometimes you need a little space and patience to figure out whether someone is actually right for you.

And when you have thousands and thousands of these profiles available to you, maybe you just aren't incentivized to slow down and consider someone in the same way you might be in person.

So the people that I spoke to did not really seem like they had made a connection that would last after the event.

Okay.
