What an asshole!
This is not a good idea.
Why would you say that?!
We should go.
...but you're not talking about me or even listening anymore.
I-- I'm sorry, it's just guys on here are so rude.
They write things they would never dare say to me in person.
Well, ummm.
Maybe your pictures are ugly.
Mmhmm...
What must it be like to be everyone's type?
What's the problem?
They're all stupid.
Or they think I'm stupid.
How can I help you, Thane?
Chat with these guys for me.
You want me to pretend to be you?
A smarter me.
Not totally different, just...smarter.
You're clever.
I want guys who want clever guys.
And I kinda want a guy with glasses.
You are a gorgeous blond man,
you could have anyone you want.
There a million hot guys in New York.
What happens when you show up
and they realize that you're People Magazine not The Times?
I'll worry about a second date.
Just get me a first with the guys who don't want to chat with me.

You just need to find your way into the game.
Conversational gambits have higher stakes on this thing.
They can't hear how clever you are in a noisy bar.
Nor do they care.
On this it's more about the words.
Okay...?
This is so much more fun watching you do it
than trying to think of the words to say myself.
Ask him if he wants to come out.
We should take it slow, maybe he's shy.
Or not.
You should go.
You're the one who talked your way into his pants.
Yeah and um, when I show up?
It will get awkward, ugly--
Never ends well.
You go.
Have a good time.
Don't talk too much.
Fine.
Get out of here!

Asshole.
All these men are cruising for
other gay men in this neighborhood?
I live in a bathhouse.
But it's on an iPhone so it's sleek.
Why are there so many pictures of headless torsos?
The app is considered sleazy
so people like to pretend they're not using it.
This is better than meeting someone in say
a bar or coffee shop?
Duh, way better.
We used to have to ditch our straight friends to find our
own kind and now, we're always at a gay bar.
I mean, I have an app I use to shop for shoes.
-Exactly. -Same difference.
Oooh!
I know this guy from the gym.
He has great calves.
And he likes strawberry protein shakes.
He lives across the street.
I followed him home on Monday.
Wait, what?
What?
Get him for me.
What is happening?
Vincent, is much better at chatting than I am.
He can get anyone.
That's because they're looking at your picture.
That's ridiculous.
Women have always been attracted to poets who aren't--
I mean...
classiclly...
I can say whatever I want to this guy
and Thane's gonna get laid tonight!
That's so creepy!
Quit messing around.
I haven't let you down for weeks.
Trust me.
This would never work for straight people.
A woman can't just go to some random guy's apartment or
have someone over at hers.
Don't you feel unsafe?
Everyone on here is within 500 feet of this apartment.
And nobody that lives in this neighborhood could be evil.
Guys,
if someone left a little slip of paper on a table that said
"I'm 78 feet away, I'm looking at you right now,
and I want to fuck you"
that's creepy but on an iPhone it's okay?
Violence between gay men is extremely rare.
Much less frequent than our straight counterparts.
We kill each other in otherways.

You should come see the inside of my apartment.
