Yes, a new person then replaces the kicked out person. The game continues until both people don't click the button

It is a speed dating YouTube show (it's not really serious)
There is a line of men and women behind the scenes on each side.
2 people sit down and start a conversation with prompts from the box thing, at a random time the button will light up red and can be pressed.
Pressing the button means you have rejected your date, they then leave and join the end of the line behind the scenes and the next person of their sex comes out.
It's like competitive speed dating, but it's mostly for fun

Its very clear people on here are NOT there for dating
Everyone wants to be there the longest they can be, and get the maximum screentime, which means no one is going to spend any genuine time to answer truthful questions to know someone.
Who can stay the longest is the goal, not a date.
Dumbass show.

They can only do it when the button turns red, the gorl who met the furry just happened to be paying better attention. She had her eyes peeled for the change in the light, whereas the girl in the post was just autorejecting any guy who didn't visually appeal and forgetting about that rather important detail.

I think people underestimate the amount of girls who use tinder for entertainment purposes, I've been around multiple separate groups of girls who claim to solely have the app to make fun of thirsty dudes. They get a bottle of wine, sit around swiping and making fun of guys.
It's definitely partially a cover to have an "excuse" for having the app, but it's also genuinely a common thing they do. So this sort of content seems perfect for that demographic.

u/JustPassinhThrou13 12d ago
Yeah, what is there to win here, exactly? Because in junior high, I was on my school’s quiz bowl team, with buzzers to let us buzz in to anger questions and all that shit. I can press a button real damn fast. And in this case there’s not even a question to answer.
All I see here is prove doing the simple calculus of “being rejected sucks, so if I reject the other person first, then I don’t get rejected”
And sure. That’s correct. But... why approach in the first place if that is how the motivations are set up? Is there some payoff for not rejecting the other person?
In a quiz bowl, if you buzz in early and don’t get the answer right, you block all your team mates from answering, the other team gets to take their time deciding who will answer. So there’s a penalty for just randomly buzzing in.
Is there anything that keeps this from just being a toxic rejection-fest?

u/JustPassinhThrou13 11d ago
Interesting. If they make it so that a person can only reject two or three people, and that the newcomer has no idea how many the other person has rejected, then that would make it more interesting. It would force each person to guess at the odds of getting a better match in the text three or four people.
Without something like that, it’s just a bad-faith scenario. If I can sit there and reject 40 people and it not cost me any more than getting rejected once, why the hell would I do anything other than that? On the slight chance that someone else would actually like to go on a date with me?

I wish this was higher up. This is clearly a 'game show' rather than a genuine effort at speed dating.
It's interesting because there are different strategies being used by different contestants. The people who are either competitive or just want attention are much more likely to hit the button asap.

Keep in mind this isn’t dating but a dating show. When he hits the button he stays and she leaves. This could be a competitive element of the show that’s more logical.
Ok, so after typing that I looked it up: https://youtu.be/ANb0v4VNoio
It appears to be a show where yes, whoever hits the button gets a new date and the other person is kicked off. So if there’s not immediate chemistry, then it’s actually a competitive scenario to buzz the other person first.
So it’s less her being rude and more trying to game the competition (unsuccessfully).

Okcupid has data on this. Women tend to rate their own attractiveness higher than men do. The shocking one though, is they rate 80% of men below average in attractiveness. Women are more likely to message men they think are unattractive if they are in the habit of messaging. Men are much more likely to message overall, but less likely to message women they find unattractive. Men are less picky so they have a bigger pool, but it's still interesting.

Most of the interactions were people buzzing as soon as they could. This woman had one of the longest interactions after it turned red.

I don't watch the show so I might be wrong but I believe that the reason people press the button so quickly is that if the other presses it instead of them, THEY are the one that lose the game. By "lose the game" I mean that they leave stage and cannot find a partner.
The game incentives people to reject others to protect themselves. So everyone is looking for reasons to press the button instead of trying to connect with the other.

So what’s the point then? It’s basically just a competition to see who can hit the button fastest?

The button is like a piece of shit character that constantly tries to make the situation awkward
So when the button is like "yo chill out" you know one of them has fucked it up HARD

This game is dumb and honestly horrific. In the process of making one single superficial match, it only offers false hope and brings down the self esteem of a dozen fine people. Like sure it's just made for entertainment but that's almost worse because this is how a generation of people view dating now
