It's not just him. Most pranking YouTuber tries to do this with the exception of pranksters who actually make clever videos that people aren't just baited to watch.
Thatwasepic does this a lot with women. The women he pranks are almost always above average. But he doesn't seem to do that for men (or maybe I'm just unaware that the guys are hot).
The photographer guy?
Edit: looked him up. dgphotoholic or something like that. Turns out he does a varied set of subjects of people of all levels of beauty/age/etc., but people tend to view the pretty ladies, so those are the ones the algorithm shows. My bad for thinking lowly of him.
I'm so tired of guys trying to approach girls. Hello... if a girl is interested then __she__ will approach the guy. If she's not interested, then __do not__ approach her. Jeez why is this so hard to understand for a lot of guys smh
In an ideal world where dating equality existed it would work that way, but women aren't societally expected to make the first move nor do they generally feel motivated or incentivized to
Ironically, I only once expressed interest in someone this year (and got told no), but prior to that I never asked anyone out but I WAS asked out by someone when I was like 30.
If you go by that logic but switch the roles you have the scenario you don’t like. It’s not about whose doing it to who, people just need to learn boundaries and stop being weirdos.
What a massive leap in logic. People are drawn to attractive people and things, even if they’re not trying to bone. It’s not rocket science, it’s common knowledge.
It’s the same reason so many people watch cat videos. Oh cute cat in thumbnail - those people don’t want to bang a cat, but the cat is cute and they want to watch.
^^okay ^^at ^^least ^^most ^^people ^^don’t ^^want ^^to ^^bang ^^the ^^cute ^^cats
Had this happen to me recently where this guy interviewed me (29F) and a friend (30F), completely ignored one of our guy friends who was obviously with us, then gave us shit for giving boring answers. Like why am I expected to make content for you, a content creator??
i wouldnt say so based on the ones ive seen. they just want answers, interviewing males and females alike, anyone who got on earpods. only one who really goes after beautiful people are the photo people but thats cause attractiveness clearly gets views
this is just a random woman in the video who has headphones to ask
I have seen some of these people only interview attractive women, not saying this guy is the same tho idk who this guy is. I also think its probably more about getting more views
This guy definitely doesn‘t only interview attractive women. He’s called Shan Rizwan on YouTube and I find his videos actually pretty interesting and relaxing.
Bad posture can make someone look unconfident, and confident body language is one important factor out of many in terms of attractiveness and people's impression of you
so you think people in society walking about are living their life to be attractive to your standards. they cant exist, theyre value is based on posture and attractiveness, otherwise you would not get an erection? lol, are both your parents attractive im curious
also the person known as BirdMedication won't show any pics of himself but loves to judge women. i bet his mother is so proud of him, or father, do they cheer you on when you bring a woman down?
You're reaching, what does that have to do with "bringing a woman down?"
Slouching is unattractive regardless of whether a man or a woman is doing it, you're supposed to stand up straight. No one's saying it makes you a bad person or anything.
Hopefully the videographer asked if she was cool with it before broadcasting this for the world to see. I imagine if she went to those lengths not to want anyone to talk to her that she wouldn’t like this video plastered all over the internet.
Yes, but sometimes you gotta think about which train to hop on next, what you need to do once you get home or just have a little time to hear your thoughts. For some people it's not easy with a music on.
Or be aware of your surroundings while simultaneously looking like you don’t want to be bothered to most people. That’s my main reason to pop the buds in
Not without battery. I actively ignore people trying to talk to me without listening to anything and when they don't give up i just act like my music was to loud for me to hear them.
Wait. People are having issues with excessive human interaction? Or Does this imply that people bother her by trying to approach and hit on her? It's easier to believe the latter.
It's almost exclusively foulmouthed daytime drunks in my experience. There was once a guy who would ask every person he came across if they were catholic.
Hmm, inevitable shitting on these “interviewers” despite the person being ”interviewed” getting out of their way to take off their earphones and respond
uhmm this has been going on *at least* since the Sony Walkman came out in the 1980s.. i know for SURE that cell phones helped women appear to be busy / preoccupied, going back to the mid 90's.. as a college student in the early 2000s before smartphones even came out, it seemed that 80%+ of women on campus were "talking on their phones" while walking on campus.
it's simply a *social interaction* deflector shield. and it is incredibly effective - most of the time.
What's with the seizure inducing editing? It's like the Catwoman basketball scene, except here it's even more unnecessary since it's all from one angle and the video would be at most 1,5 second longer if unedited.
do ppl in other countries rly bother you if you arent wearing headphones? in poland nobody just talks to randoms on the street unless we have a reason lol

when the noise asks what you need that noice canceling for

Noice
I think I already have noice cancelling somehow
\>Put on headphones \>Activate noise cancelling
Can’t go grocery shopping without it
It's weird that we had to make earplugs ridiculously high-tech before we accepted wearing them to get some damn peace in our chaos.
am i the only one who thinks these wierdos interview exclusively attractive women in order to validate their own existence.
I think it's more because it makes thumbnails people will click on. Sad still..
Reminds me of that one guy on YouTube shorts with a couple mil views that does this.
[удалено]

Yup
It's more because they're finding an excuse to hit on women.
I'm so tired of guys trying to approach girls. Hello... if a girl is interested then __she__ will approach the guy. If she's not interested, then __do not__ approach her. Jeez why is this so hard to understand for a lot of guys smh

Same thing though isn’t it. The clicks make them feel validated.
Or they could target attractive people so people click on it to see attractive people
perverts making content for perverts yuck
What a massive leap in logic. People are drawn to attractive people and things, even if they’re not trying to bone. It’s not rocket science, it’s common knowledge.

You’re smuggling booze in casinos which is beyond sick. Check yourself before you judge
yes drinking alcohol and being a pervert is the same thing, you were raised by radical fools
Had this happen to me recently where this guy interviewed me (29F) and a friend (30F), completely ignored one of our guy friends who was obviously with us, then gave us shit for giving boring answers. Like why am I expected to make content for you, a content creator??
I just find it so weird that "influencers" go up to random strangers to ask them inane questions. Like... stop it. Get some help.
i agree! they almost never talk about their own ideology, just trying to get kids riled up
i wouldnt say so based on the ones ive seen. they just want answers, interviewing males and females alike, anyone who got on earpods. only one who really goes after beautiful people are the photo people but thats cause attractiveness clearly gets views this is just a random woman in the video who has headphones to ask

Not sure about the random interview people, but the “street photographers” almost exclusively photo and post beautiful women.
that's ultra scary. they become "nice guys" only when hot women are involved and are generally jerks to anyone else
I annoy therefore I am… Annoying
This guy definitely doesn‘t only interview attractive women. He’s called Shan Rizwan on YouTube and I find his videos actually pretty interesting and relaxing.
“I’m so good at talking to attractive women.” - the interviewer probably
ikr, like every women has nothing better to do than talk with them
Who hurt you lol
Chud dudes using a camera to lull strangers and attractive women into talking to them, many such cases
attractive? she slouched like a mf
explain what does "slouched" have to do with attractiveness? i really wanna know, what is ur criteria for attractive men and women
Bad posture can make someone look unconfident, and confident body language is one important factor out of many in terms of attractiveness and people's impression of you
so you think people in society walking about are living their life to be attractive to your standards. they cant exist, theyre value is based on posture and attractiveness, otherwise you would not get an erection? lol, are both your parents attractive im curious

is slouching unattractive to you and ur family of super straights? why are u holding those standards for everyone else? do u have better things to do?
bro im starting to think he's a slouched mf as well
1. don't be a slouched mf
Why does someone's body posture matter to you? who is teaching you this stuff?
idk about you man but i don't find slouched mfs attractive
His mum in his basement
No I've seen way more of them asking other dudes.
This is literally just some woman
"validate their existence"? What do you mean
I found my spirit woman 🤷🏻♂️😂
She doesn't want to talk to you though
Story of my life.
Hopefully the videographer asked if she was cool with it before broadcasting this for the world to see. I imagine if she went to those lengths not to want anyone to talk to her that she wouldn’t like this video plastered all over the internet.
I doubt it. Thoughtfulness is not one of the videographer's attributes.
Or maybe she was listening to something but doesnt like to tell others what her music tastes are. Either way, still r/me_irl anyway.
us bro us
100 percent the way to be
cake day 😘
🥰😘 thanks op
real
Yep
✨MOOD✨
Task failed successfully
Don’t ever wear sandals in nyc, trust me on that
That smile. She knows that's damn genius.
Actually listening to music works just as well
Yes, but sometimes you gotta think about which train to hop on next, what you need to do once you get home or just have a little time to hear your thoughts. For some people it's not easy with a music on.
Or be aware of your surroundings while simultaneously looking like you don’t want to be bothered to most people. That’s my main reason to pop the buds in
Exactly my thought, you gotta be aware of your surroundings.
Not without battery. I actively ignore people trying to talk to me without listening to anything and when they don't give up i just act like my music was to loud for me to hear them.
Not if she wants to be aware of her surroundings as much as the covered ears allow
Her mistake was stoping
I do this sometimes when I'm running errands
I had no idea this was commonplace. Glad I'm not the only one
So why did she take them off then???
Same reason why we turn the volume down when looking for an address
To politely turn away a guy who's shoving a microphone in her face and following her with a camera
Because noise canceling over ear headphones makes it hard to hear the noises it’s trying to cancel
And taking your mask down to talk is so smart ! WOW.
That is me right there
Wait. People are having issues with excessive human interaction? Or Does this imply that people bother her by trying to approach and hit on her? It's easier to believe the latter.
Social anxiety is also a thing
I know about that but will random people really try to to talk with you on public transport?
Yes.
Really? I didn't know about that. Probably a western thing.
Yeah, I'm in Australia and basing it on that
I see
It's almost exclusively foulmouthed daytime drunks in my experience. There was once a guy who would ask every person he came across if they were catholic.
Happens to me all the time in South Asia.
If you're a woman yes
>People are having issues with excessive human interaction? Or Does this imply that people bother her by trying to approach and hit on her? Both
Felt that
Yeah don’t talk to strangers minding their own business. Tiktok brainlets
I do this all the time lol especially if I’m in the supermarket tho.
can we stop bothering strangers on the street for your own content? it’s so old
She didn't need to take her mask off, just the phones
To be honest I can't wait for the day someone asks me this question
oh shit, a always imagined the "me" not to be a girl irl
“I don’t want anyone talking to me” as I answer a random person talking to me….
Me too thanks
Glad I'm not the only one doing this.
MEEEEEEE
Nah, she's enjoying some band she's gatekeeping and doesn't want every other person to know it 😏
relatable
Good job stopping for a stranger just to sabotage your own plan sis
Story of my liiiiiife
She too??? Welcome to my world…!!!
Hmm, inevitable shitting on these “interviewers” despite the person being ”interviewed” getting out of their way to take off their earphones and respond
I almost always have earbuds with noise canceling on, I need to think
Most NYC thing ever
Plug life!
Yep, always hiding.
That's like me fr fr 😔
Literally me when i had my broken headphones fir 2 months.
Mmm... that's actually fair. I do the same ish.
I actually do this fairly often, it works well.
damn
plot twist: she was listening to a track named *nothing*
This classic vid went viral ~~a few~~ 12 years ago. Maybe you'll hear something you like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvHRUY0tBcs
I literally used to do this when I worked outside. It helped.
uhmm this has been going on *at least* since the Sony Walkman came out in the 1980s.. i know for SURE that cell phones helped women appear to be busy / preoccupied, going back to the mid 90's.. as a college student in the early 2000s before smartphones even came out, it seemed that 80%+ of women on campus were "talking on their phones" while walking on campus. it's simply a *social interaction* deflector shield. and it is incredibly effective - most of the time.

r/therewasanattempt
I thought I was the only one
I just use the headphones as earplugs. The metro is very noisy.
do ppl in other countries rly bother you if you arent wearing headphones? in poland nobody just talks to randoms on the street unless we have a reason lol
Sometimes I do the same
My headphones have a setting that lets me hear normally…
