    Hey guys! I've been wanting to film this video FOR SO LONG but was worried it would come across as superficial... but this is a raw, *truthful* look at what dating in New York City is like - the good, the bad + the ugly.

      Katy, you never need to worry about being superficial since you really stand out as one deep feeling and thinking UA-camr!
      GIRL-TALK is a really deep topic: inside-out! The Girly Cliques of NYC is a HOT topic these days!

    For some odd reason, I’m getting Kourtney Kardashian vibes from Colby. 🤣 Loved this little video though! Great advice and loved hearing all of your experiences! 😌

    I feel like New York is a different beast, bc it’s pretty easy to meet people without apps in smaller college towns. I prefer to date mutual friends, but my current boyfriend of a year was actually my coworker at the campus gym.
    I would definitely have values, but go into things with NO expectations bc then it’s harder to be disappointed when you aren’t expecting a fairytale or rom com

    I've always been so curious about how different dating must be in a big city. It's definitely something I want to experience because it seems more fun/casual than in a smaller area, but it does seem like you take more hits and experience more dating fails.

  • @veronica.theswamphag
    @veronica.theswamphag 4 роки тому +158

    Man I totally relate to Julia downloading and deleting I did that with dating apps and I do it all the time with Instagram, it's just cleansing and liberating to completely uninstall and/or delete the account!

    • @brunoc9423
      @brunoc9423 3 роки тому +2

      Won’t you rather just get out of it and go back later instead of losing all your matches by deleting it?

    • @bakangbakangtonje7792
      @bakangbakangtonje7792 3 роки тому

      Same here, it gets to a point where you don't want to see it anymore. I was saying it earlier but playing games with your date is a way better way to get to know them without the pressure of having to come up with a crazy conversation, I feel like letting everyone know this tip: www.kibugame.com

    Katy, thank you so much for filming and posting this. I have had the the exact same experience with dating in the city. It sucks and that makes it so easy to get stuck in the mindset of thinking "wtf is WRONG with ME, why is nothing working?". Your video really helped remind me that my experience is the norm and also is the reality of dating in the city. Thanks so much for being you, making me videos, helping other people, and making me feel less alone:) Love your videos, and definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.

    I wish I had this kind of confidence when I was young, but I just went mute anytime a guy talked to me. I have social anxiety disorder and I'm only just starting to date now in my 30's after years of therapy and medication :( A deep sense of grief for the missed experiences.

    Julia has hooked up with a lot of Aussies and English etc. The girls might have a little to high standards for the market value. I hope they adjust it realistically especially over time. Nice girls but very stereotypical American who think they are unique and special.

    10:40 it's the men and the women. You are all so lost on the inside you don't understand how rude your baseline is... travel to the Midwest or south and you will see men and women get on much better because there is a humility in their hearts. It's scary how out of touch yall are and I'm honestly praying for yall bc you are young and you have time to change.

    • @johnt5897
      @johnt5897 5 місяців тому

      Yeah I agree. I’m thinking about moving to New York City and if all the girls are like this I don’t know if I want to. I feel like the vibe there is about finding the next best thing with the end goal of being with an ideal type of man that most likely doesn’t exist.
