What It’s Like Dating Someone Who’s More Attractive Than You [Intimacy Issues]

1 00:00:03,536 --> 00:00:05,538 -Somebody’s hungry!…me. 2 00:00:05,538 --> 00:00:07,107 -Ooo, you know what? Let’s try that new place on Ludlow. 3 00:00:07,107 --> 00:00:09,709 -Great! They deliver right? 4 00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:10,344 -No, I mean like, actually go to the restaurant. 5 00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:14,314 -That’s crazy! You don’t want to leave? 6 00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:19,719 -Yeah, why? It’s beautiful out! Oh, we can get our steps in! 7 00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:20,454 -I don’t know, I’m comfy. 8 00:00:20,454 --> 00:00:25,459 -Is there a reason you don’t want to go out? -Yes. A very specific one. 9 00:00:30,763 --> 00:00:32,499 -So, on the subway yesterday, I read this GQ article over someone’s shoulder. 10 00:00:32,499 --> 00:00:35,402 They were scrolling a little quickly, but I think I got the gist. 11 00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:37,537 -How is this important? 12 00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:41,41 -Hanna, this concerns the fabric of our very lives. The article states that most successful 13 00:00:41,41 --> 00:00:45,778 relationships happen between people of similar attractiveness. 14 00:00:45,778 --> 00:00:48,814 -So? -“So,” we are fundamentally at risk here. 15 00:00:48,814 --> 00:00:50,450 -What are you talking about, Paul? -Allow me to explain. 16 00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:53,819 -Ahh! That's not for yet! 17 00:00:53,819 --> 00:01:00,294 Ok, and, God. I took an average of our profile picture likes, factored in comments, “love”s, “sad”s 18 00:01:00,294 --> 00:01:03,63 — I was the only one with “sad”s, that hurt 19 00:01:03,63 --> 00:01:08,668 but the results show that you are 1.62 points hotter than me on the 10 scale. 20 00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:13,973 -What are you 12 years old? None of this matters. I think you’re a 10. 21 00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:16,609 -Then how do you explain this? 22 00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:21,315 Ah!! Ahh! I DIDN’T EVEN DRAW THAT ONE?!!! 23 00:01:21,315 --> 00:01:27,987 Anyhoo, you could see why it’s statistically dangerous for us to leave the apartment. 24 00:01:27,987 --> 00:01:34,494 -Ok, so what’s the plan? Are we just gonna never leave? -Oh, thank God. I’m so glad that you said it. 25 00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:37,697 -Paul, I was joking. This is stupid. 26 00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:43,502 -What's stupid about isolating ourselves? Anything we can get out there we can get in here! 27 00:01:43,502 --> 00:01:46,373 -Ok, so, um what if I want to go out and I want to go dancing? 28 00:01:46,373 --> 00:01:51,11 -Easy! Alexa! Play dance music!  -Playing Dan Music. 29 00:01:51,11 --> 00:01:55,548 Who’s Dan?! Alexa stop! Who’s Dan?! 30 00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:57,850 -Dan is my dad! Stop yelling at my stuff. 31 00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:00,87 -Thank God. I thought it was someone who was objectively more attractive than I am. 32 00:02:00,87 --> 00:02:04,358 -Oh, hey dude! -Hey! Thanks for letting me borrow this.  33 00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:08,694 -Oh yeah! -Yeah! Later, Cory! 34 00:02:08,694 --> 00:02:10,596 -Alright, later. 35 00:02:10,596 --> 00:02:15,369 -What a poignant example of exactly what I’m talking about. 36 00:02:15,369 --> 00:02:19,805 -What? Your math says I should be with Cory? Come on. 37 00:02:19,805 --> 00:02:26,313 Maybe! But it’s not about “Cory,” it’s about every Cory! When I look at that piece of meat, I just see a number 38 00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:31,184 — and guess what — it’s way higher than mine. 39 00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:35,855 -Paul, this is ridiculous. You think I’m just going out with you for your looks? 40 00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:41,894 -Um, I did! But even if it’s not just about looks, I mean I’m a good guy. But I’m not great. 41 00:02:41,894 --> 00:02:48,101 There are way better guys, and some of those guys have abs. Fantastic abs. 42 00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:54,907 -Oh my God. Paul, our relationship is so much more complex than that. It's not like I'm gonna go out and bump into 43 00:02:54,907 --> 00:03:01,514 some random hot guy and dump you. Look, you make me grow in ways that I can’t explain. I am gonna get 44 00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:05,584 ready to go to the restaurant. I hope that you’ll come with me. 45 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:14,294 -Hey, man. It’s Cory. -Hi, Cory. 46 00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:17,297 -You know, from earlier? -I know who you are, Cory.  47 00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:22,535 -I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation with Hanna. -Okay 48 00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:31,610 -Look, I just went through the same thing with a girl who was way more attractive than I was. 49 00:03:31,610 --> 00:03:35,715 So don’t sell yourself short. I mean look man, you got a great set of abs. 50 00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:39,19 -I purchased these at a Party City. 51 00:03:39,19 --> 00:03:47,60 -Oh, um. Come here. Get in here. 52 00:03:47,60 --> 00:03:54,567 My man, you are rock hard. 53 00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:58,804 -That’s real. -Thought so.
