How do Brooke and Connor describe their “petit superpowers” and Hinge height talk?
You have got to be out of your gourd if you think that I am recording a podcast with someone who's 5'4", 11 right now.
That's mean.
I almost did 5 under, and I don't even know what 5 and under.
Because that's what it says on my Hinge profile.
5 and under?
No, 5 foot.
Flat.
Because it's like no one's going to see me without shoes.
I feel like being petite these days is a bit of a superpower, no?
No, I, like, yes. But 4'11 is, like, people don't know what that is, you know? Like, people will read 4'11 and think, like, oh, 4'1. Or, like, you're, like, literally, like, 4'6. Like, they think it's a lot shorter than that. than it is. And I don't think I appear that way. So I think I'm actually being more straightforward about my appearance when I say five.
I know what you mean.
Yeah.
Because I would have like a tough time with like a point of reference for four 11. I'd be like, what? Yeah. What can I compare that to?
Right. Exactly.
A summer's day.
Yes, exactly. So I'm being more When a girl lies about their height on Hinge, it's honest. And when a man does it, it's deceiving.
Hmm.
I've been so anti-man recently, which I think is good.
It's the bangs. I'm telling you it's the bangs.
It's literally the bangs. I am, I foo.
I foo too.
I feel like a new person.
I foo like a new person.
Connor.
We're not, we're not starting with the be sweet. We really need to just milk every, every time we slip up on words, we need to go right into a riff about who, who's the individual that is fooing.
Did I say be sweet?
No, but I saw it in your face. That was the next two words to come out of that mouth.
No, because we don't even need to draw more attention to the fact that I said foo.
But at the end of the day, you did say foo, and there's no shame in that.
I don't want to talk about it.
You're 4'11", and you said foo.
Those are two things that I don't want to talk about. I do want to talk about how amazing my bangs look.
Okay. I feel like your bangs look amazing, too. I fool, you fool, he, she, we fool.
You're making me very mad. And you do not want to make this girl mad. Especially because of the bangs.
No, trust me.
Do you like them or what?
I told you before we even started recording.
But you didn't say it on camera.
Okay, I feel like her bangs look amazing.
If you don't say it on camera, is it even real?
No, you're right. No, you're right. Okay, your bangs look amazing. Thank you.
Thank you.
I said it earnestly earlier. So anyone saying that I'm just like saying it said like I did say it and she wants it on camera. Let the record show that I feel like her bangs look amazing.
Thank you. I just wanted you to say it on camera. Thank you.
Of course.
I feel like an art teacher.
No, you know what? I feel like you are someone about to get architecturally digested.
No, you know what? I actually felt like looking in the mirror this morning, which was scary. Like a woman on the brink of 30.
Brooke, there's so much power in that.
I felt that way. For the first time I looked in the mirror and I said, instead of thinking, oh my God, I'm almost 30. I thought, oh my God, I'm almost 30.
Can I, so I just.
But not necessarily almost.
No, no one is. No one is. I just had a coffee meeting just now and I am, I kind of keep slipping into like existentialism with people that I'm casually talking to and it doesn't have that. like it's, it's like an actual business meeting. And I'm like, yeah. And all my friends have two babies now. So it's kind of like, what am I doing? You know? And I, I slipped at it. And this young man was 40 something and he's walking me through, he's like, my thirties were my favorite part of my life because my life was easier because not because I was better at it, but because I made less mistakes and, So it was like twice as easy, which made the like twice as easy, made it like double as fun and enjoyable because you like learn and you're better at life.
Isn't that crazy? That makes you just make less mistakes. I know. It's just like, wow, I've never thought about you're just you're just better at it.
So universally, the sentiment seems to be your 30s are the best decade.
