- Because it's so easy for people
[1]
to just swipe right,
[2]
or swipe left when they see-
[3]
- [Child] Shut up!
[5]
- Hello, who's down there?
[6]
Hey, hey, guys,
[7]
don't fight, please.

Daddy's trying to get a girlfriend.
[10]
There's this thing called online dating,
[13]
which is how you sometimes
adults meet other adults,
[16]
and maybe they have kids too,
[17]
and then their kids can
spend time together.
[19]
Or maybe they're rich
and they have a plane
[24]
and they want to take you on a trip.
[28]
I'm available.
[29]
Hi, I'm David McDivitt,
[31]
a full-time single dad,
[33]
like a lot of single parents,
[34]
it's tough to find time to date.
[36]
And when you do,
[37]
you usually start online.
[39]
For that to work,
[40]
you need a killer online profile.
[43]
This is The Single Dad's
Guide to Online Dating.
[47]
(crashing)
[49]
The reason that your online
dating profile is so crucial
[52]
is because that's the first
impression people get of you
[55]
when they find you online.
[56]
And you want it to say plenty about you,
[58]
but you don't usually have
a lot of space to do it.
[61]
A lot of sites these days,
[62]
they'll preload questions for you.
[64]
Like what are your three
favorite things to do?
[66]
Or if you could have three
people over for dinner,
[68]
who would they be?
[69]
Let's make a profile.
[71]
First name, David.
[73]
This is a chance for you
to express a little bit
[74]
about who you are,
[75]
and what you're interested in.
[78]
You need to look like
you're a person somebody
[81]
wants to get to know.
[82]
You might not be,
[83]
but that's not what you
want to say on your profile.
[86]
Your profile needs to scream,
[87]
I'm an awesome person!
[89]
Single dad with two wonderful children.
[91]
There's several key components
[92]
to a successful and killer online profile.
[95]
One, when you explain about yourself
[97]
you can do it with just
normal typewritten words,
[100]
or you can use emojis.
[101]
Emoji of one dad with two kids.
[105]
There you go.
[106]
We've all seen those things
[107]
where it's just a string
of emoji, after emoji,
[108]
after emoji, after emoji:
[110]
mountain, paddleboard,
[112]
boat, cat, dog.
[114]
I guess this person likes
the outdoors and animals.
[117]
Likes movies.
[119]
Popcorn emoji.
[122]
I know I read somewhere where it said
[124]
that people are
statistically 5% more likely
[126]
to swipe right on somebody
if that person uses emojis,
[130]
so I use emojis.
[131]
This is great.
[133]
Oh, this is awesome!
[134]
You also want to have great photos.
[136]
Photos that express who you are,
[138]
what you like to do
[139]
and how you think the
world should see you.
[142]
Got your tickets to the gun show.
[144]
(whip lashing)
[145]
Look, if somebody meets you in person
[146]
and what they see in person,
[147]
isn't consistent with what
they saw in your online photos,
[150]
that match isn't gonna work, right?
[153]
Okay, I think I'm good.
[155]
Before you hit submit,
[157]
you need an editor, a ringer.
[158]
Hey, Lisa.
[159]
You need somebody you can trust.
[161]
Somebody who's gonna be kind, sincere,
[163]
and be honest with you,
but do it in a gentle way.
[166]
Hey, check this out.
- Okay.
[168]
- I am setting up my online profile.
[170]
- All right, another one.
[171]
- Do you see the gun show?
[173]
Do you see there are two
gun shows, two tickets.
[175]
- Nobody wants to see that gun show.
[177]
That says, I'm a frat
guy who loves my biceps.
[180]
- Now that photo says great biceps.
[182]
Oh, look at that.
[183]
- Which one is you?
[184]
You're not even in the middle.
[186]
You can't have a profile
photo with other guys in it,
[189]
no one's gonna know which one is you.
[190]
- Look, but they're all handsome. (claps)
[192]
Look at that, now that is a cool photo.
[195]
That's a cool dude.
[195]
That is a cool dude.
[196]
- No girl wants to know that this guy
[198]
is just surrounded by
other women all the time.
[201]
Is that your senior
photo from high school?
[203]
- Uh, huh.
- David, no.
[205]
Let's just see at least what
you wrote about yourself.
[207]
- With two wonderful children
[208]
and then the emoji with
the dad with two kids.
[209]
- Why are there so many emojis?
[211]
- Likes to watch...
[212]
'Cause statistically
people are 5% more likely
[214]
to swipe right on your
profile if you have emojis.
[217]
- Anyone who looks at this
[218]
is going to think you're
a 13-year-old girl
[220]
who just got a cell phone.
[221]
Please let me do this.
[222]
- Ouch.
[223]
- Just let me handle this.
[225]
I know how women think.
[225]
- Do not mess this up.
[227]
- I won't believe me.
[228]
That would be very easy to do.
[231]
- All right, make sure
to save this though okay?
[233]
- Oh, I will.
- 'Cause that's good stuff.
[234]
- Yeah, let me just
rewrite this a little bit.
[235]
- Listen, the most
important thing honestly,
[237]
is to be authentic and be yourself.
[239]
You wanna make sure that you're
making genuine connections,
[242]
because if you don't
connect with that person,
[244]
they're clearly not the
right person for you.
[246]
And if they're not the
right person for you,
[248]
there's no way they
can be the right person
[250]
for your children.
[251]
Add an emoji.
[253]
- You don't need emojis.
[255]
- Who's gonna wanna swipe right on me?
[256]
- Literate women.
[257]
David, I appreciate your past-
[260]
- I like my past.
[260]
- I honor it,
[261]
but I am gonna delete
it from your profile.
[263]
Here, here's a folder.
[265]
There! There's a guy that says,
[268]
"Hi, I'm a good person
[270]
and I'm looking for a
good person to date."
[272]
Oh, look at that!
[274]
- Hey, that's Nicki!
[275]
- David, your kids are your best asset.
[277]
- Here's the truth.
[278]
There are a lot of people who
are gonna see your profile,
[280]
see that you're a parent
[281]
and they're just going to swipe left,
[283]
because they don't want
to hafta deal with kids.
[285]
And that's okay, because guess what?
[287]
They weren't the right person
[288]
for you and your children anyway.
[290]
Are you sure?
[291]
- All right, I think my work here is done.
[292]
Now don't forget to save it.
- Got it.
[294]
How do I launch it?
[296]
Whoa, where'd it go?
[299]
(computer beeping)
[301]
Hello?
[303]
(computer chiming)
[305]
Wait, where did it go?
[306]
Shoot!
[308]
No, no, no, no, no!
[309]
No, no, no, no!
[310]
Oh, this is a disaster.
[313]
Shoot, I gotta start all over again.
[315]
Hey, now where's that picture
of me in the gun show shirt?
[317]
(70's mod music)
[319]
Nice.
[320]
(uptempo music)
[323]
These are my tips for creating
a great online profile.
[326]
But believe me, I could use some help.
