ืื– ื”ืฉื ืฉืœื™ ื”ื•ื ืื™ื™ืžื™ ื•ื•ื‘,
00:15
and a few years ago I found myself at the end

ืฉืœ ืขื•ื“ ืžืขืจื›ืช ื™ื—ืกื™ื ื ื”ื“ืจืช

that came burning down in a spectacular fashion.

ืฉื”ืชื ืคืฆื” ืœืจืกื™ืกื™ื ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ืžืจื”ื™ื‘ื”.
ื•ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™, ืืชื ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื, ืžื” ืœื ื‘ืกื“ืจ ื‘ื™?
00:24
And I thought, what's wrong with me?

00:26
I don't understand why this keeps happening.

ืื ื™ ืœื ืžื‘ื™ื ื” ืœืžื” ื–ื” ื›ืœ ื”ื–ืžืŸ ืงื•ืจื” ืœื™.
00:28
So I asked everybody in my life what they thought.

ืื– ืฉืืœืชื™ ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ืื ืฉื™ื ื‘ื—ื™ื™ื ืฉืœื™
ืžื” ื”ื ื—ืฉื‘ื•.
00:32
I turned to my grandmother, who always had plenty of advice,

ืคื ื™ืชื™ ืœืกื‘ืชื ืฉืœื™,
ืฉืชืžื™ื“ ื”ื™ื• ืœื” ืขืฆื•ืช ื‘ืฉืคืข,
00:36
and she said, "Stop being so picky.

ื•ื”ื™ื ืืžืจื”, "ืชืคืกื™ืงื™ ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ื›ืœ-ื›ืš ื‘ืจืจื ื™ืช.
00:39
You've got to date around.

ืืช ืฆืจื™ื›ื” ืœืฆืืช ืงืฆืช ืœื“ื™ื™ื˜ื™ื."
00:40
And most importantly,
10

1354
ื•ื”ื›ื™ ื—ืฉื•ื‘:
00:42
true love will find you when you least expect it."

00:46
Now as it turns out,
12
46336
1695
ื•ืžืกืชื‘ืจ,
00:48
I'm somebody who thinks a lot about data,
13

2533
ืฉืื ื™ ืžื™ืฉื”ื™ ืฉื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ื”ืจื‘ื” ืขืœ ื ืชื•ื ื™ื,
00:50
as you'll soon find.
14
50612
1275
ื›ืžื• ืฉืชื’ืœื• ืขื•ื“ ืžืขื˜.
00:51
I am constantly swimming in numbers, formulas and charts.

ืื ื™ ื›ืœ ื”ื–ืžืŸ ืฉื•ื—ื” ื‘ืžืกืคืจื™ื
ื•ื ื•ืกื—ืื•ืช ื•ืชืจืฉื™ืžื™ื.
ื•ื’ื ื™ืฉ ืœื™ ืžืฉืคื—ื” ืžืื“ ืžื—ื•ื‘ืจืช,
00:57
I also have a very tight-knit family,
16
57101
2376
00:59
and I'm very, very close with my sister,
17
59501
1987
ื•ืื ื™ ืžืื“, ืžืื“ ืงืจื•ื‘ื” ืœืื—ื•ืชื™,
01:01
and as a result, I wanted to have the same type of family when I grew up.
18

ื•ื›ืชื•ืฆืื” ืžื–ื”, ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืฉืชื”ื™ื” ืœื™
ืžืฉืคื—ื” ื›ืžื• ื–ื• ืฉื”ื™ืชื” ืœื™ ื‘ื™ืœื“ื•ืชื™.
01:04
So I'm at the end of this bad breakup,
19
64988
1873
ืื– ืื ื™ ื‘ืกื•ืคื” ืฉืœ ื”ืคืจื™ื“ื” ื”ื ื•ืจืื™ืช ื”ื–ื•,
01:06
I'm 30 years old,
20
66885
1203
ืื ื™ ื‘ืช 30,
01:08
I figure I'm probably going to have to date somebody for about six months
21
68112
3703
ื”ื ื—ืชื™ ืฉืืฆื˜ืจืš
ืœืฆืืช ืขื ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ื‘ืขืจืš ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื ื”
01:11
before I'm ready to get monogamous
22

ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื”ื™ื” ืžื•ื›ื ื” ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืžื•ื ื•ื’ืžื™ืช
01:13
and before we can sort of cohabitate,
23
73681
1779
ื•ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื, ื›ืื™ืœื• ืœื’ื•ืจ ื‘ื™ื—ื“,
01:15
and we have to do that for a while before we can get engaged.
24
75484
2925
ื•ื–ื” ืฆืจื™ืš ืœื”ื™ืžืฉืš ืชืงื•ืคื” ืžืกื•ื™ืžืช ืœืคื ื™ ืฉื ื•ื›ืœ ืœื”ืชืืจืก.
01:18
And if I want to start having children by the time I'm 35,
25
78433
2969
ื•ืื ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืœื”ื‘ื™ื ื™ืœื“ื™ื ื›ืฉืื’ื™ืข ืœื’ื™ืœ 35,
01:21
that meant that I would have had to have been on my way to marriage
26
81426
3177
ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ืฉื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืฆืจื™ื›ื” ืœื”ื™ื•ืช
ื‘ื“ืจื›ื™ ืœื ื™ืฉื•ืื™ื ื›ื‘ืจ ืœืคื ื™ ื—ืžืฉ ืฉื ื™ื.
01:24
five years ago.
27
84627
1162
01:26
So that wasn't going to work.
28
86171
1412
ืื– ื–ื” ืœื ื”ื•ืœืš ืœืขื‘ื•ื“.
01:27
If my strategy was to least-expect my way into true love,
29
87607
3723
ืื ื”ืืกื˜ืจื˜ื’ื™ื” ืฉืœื™ ื”ื™ื ืœืžืฆื•ื ืื”ื‘ืช ืืžืช ื‘ืฆื•ืจื”
ื”ื›ื™ ืคื—ื•ืช ืฆืคื•ื™ื”, ืื– ื”ืžืฉืชื ื” ืฉื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืฆืจื™ื›ื”
01:31
then the variable that I had to deal with was serendipity.
30

2895
ืœื”ืชืžื•ื“ื“ ืื™ืชื• ื”ื™ื” ื”ื™ื›ื•ืœืช ืœื’ืœื•ืช ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ืžืงืจื™.
01:34
In short, I was trying to figure out
31
94881
2136
ื‘ืงืฆืจื”, ื ื™ืกื™ืชื™ ืœื”ื‘ื™ืŸ
ืžื” ื”ื”ืกืชื‘ืจื•ืช ืฉืœื™ ืœืžืฆื•ื ืืช ื”ื’ื‘ืจ ื”ื ื›ื•ืŸ?
01:37
what's the probability of my finding Mr. Right?
32
97041
2888
01:40
Well, at the time I was living in the city of Philadelphia,
33
100381
2801
ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ, ื‘ืื•ืชื• ื–ืžืŸ ื—ื™ื™ืชื™ ื‘ืขื™ืจ ืคื™ืœื“ืœืคื™ื”,
ื•ื–ื• ืขื™ืจ ื’ื“ื•ืœื”, ืื– ื”ื”ื ื—ื” ืฉืœื™ ื”ื™ืชื”,
01:43
and it's a big city, and I figured,
34
103206
2095
01:45
in this entire place, there are lots of possibilities.
35
105325
2967
ืฉื‘ื›ืœ ื”ืžืงื•ื ื”ื–ื”, ื™ืฉ ื”ืจื‘ื” ืืคืฉืจื•ื™ื•ืช.
01:48
So again, I started doing some math.
36
108316
2320
ื•ืฉื•ื‘ ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืงืฆืช ื—ื™ืฉื•ื‘ื™ื.
01:50
Population of Philadelphia: it has 1.5 million people.
37
110660
3710
ื”ืื•ื›ืœื•ืกื™ื™ื” ื‘ืคื™ืœื“ืœืคื™ื”: ื™ืฉ ื‘ื” 1.5 ืžืœื™ื•ืŸ ืื ืฉื™ื.
01:54
I figure about half of that are men,
38
114394
1715
ืื ื™ ืžืฉืขืจืช ืฉื‘ืขืจืš ื—ืฆื™ ืžื–ื” ื”ื ื’ื‘ืจื™ื,
ืื– ื–ื” ืžื•ืจื™ื“ ืืช ื”ืžืกืคืจ ืœ- 750,000.
01:56
so that takes the number down to 750,000.
39
116133
2570
01:58
I'm looking for a guy between the ages of 30 and 36,
40
118727
3185
ืื ื™ ืžื—ืคืฉืช ื‘ื—ื•ืจ ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ื’ื™ืœืื™ื 30 ืœ 36,
02:01
which was only four percent of the population,
41
121936
2531
ืฉื–ื” ืจืง ืืจื‘ืขื” ืื—ื•ื–ื™ื ืžื”ืื•ื›ืœื•ืกื™ื™ื”,
02:04
so now I'm dealing with the possibility of 30,000 men.
42
124491
2577
ืื– ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ืื ื™ ืžืชืžื•ื“ื“ืช ืขื ืื•ืœื™ 30,000 ื’ื‘ืจื™ื.
02:07
I was looking for somebody who was Jewish,
43
127092
2001
ื—ื™ืคืฉืชื™ ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ืฉื”ื•ื ื™ื”ื•ื“ื™,
ื›ื™ ืื ื™ ื›ื–ื• ื•ื–ื” ืžืฉื”ื• ืฉื”ื™ื” ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืœื™.
02:09
because I am and that was important to me.
44
129117
2224
02:11
That's only 2.3 percent of the population.
45
131365
2515
ื–ื” ืจืง 2.3 ืื—ื•ื–ื™ื ืžื”ืื•ื›ืœื•ืกื™ื”.
02:13
I figure I'm attracted to maybe one out of 10 of those men,
46
133904
4125
ื”ืขืจื›ืชื™ ืฉืื ื™ ื ืžืฉื›ืช ืื•ืœื™ ืœืื—ื“ ืžืชื•ืš 10
ืžื”ื’ื‘ืจื™ื ื”ืืœื•,
02:18
and there was no way I was going to deal with somebody who was an avid golfer.
47
138053
4813
ื•ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืฉื•ื ืกื™ื›ื•ื™
ืฉืื ื™ ื”ื•ืœื›ืช ืœื”ืชืžื•ื“ื“ ืขื ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ืฉื”ื•ื ืฉื—ืงืŸ ื’ื•ืœืฃ ื ืœื”ื‘.
02:22
So that basically meant there were 35 men for me
48
142890
3036
ืื– ื‘ืขืฆื ื”ืžืฉืžืขื•ืช ื”ื™ื ืฉื”ื™ื• 35 ื’ื‘ืจื™ื ืขื‘ื•ืจื™
02:25
that I could possibly date
49
145950
2204
ืฉืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœืฆืืช ืื™ืชื
02:28
in the entire city of Philadelphia.
50
148178
2668
ื‘ื›ืœ ื”ืขื™ืจ ืคื™ืœื“ืœืคื™ื”.
02:32
In the meantime, my very large Jewish family
51
152349
3188
ื‘ื™ื ืชื™ื™ื, ื‘ืžืฉืคื—ื” ื”ื™ื”ื•ื“ื™ืช ื”ื’ื“ื•ืœื” ืžืื“ ืฉืœื™
02:35
was already all married and well on their way
52
155561
2778
ื›ื•ืœื ื›ื‘ืจ ื”ื™ื• ื ืฉื•ืื™ื ื•ื‘ื“ืจื›ื
02:38
to having lots and lots of children,
53
158363
1887
ืœืขืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ื™ืœื“ื™ื,
02:40
and I felt like I was under tremendous peer pressure
54
160274
2477
ื•ื”ืจื’ืฉืชื™ ื›ืื™ืœื• ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืชื—ืช ืœื—ืฅ ื—ื‘ืจืชื™ ืขืฆื•ื
02:42
to get my life going already.
55
162775
1452
ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืœื”ื–ื™ื– ื›ื‘ืจ ืืช ื”ื—ื™ื™ื ืฉืœื™.
02:44
So I have two possible strategies at this point
56
164565
2381
ืื– ืื ื™ืฉ ืœื™ ืฉืชื™ ืืกื˜ืจื˜ื’ื™ื•ืช ืืคืฉืจื™ื•ืช ื‘ืฉืœื‘ ื”ื–ื”
02:46
I'm sort of figuring out.
57
166970
1234
ืฉืื ื™ ืžื ืกื” ืœืคืขื ื—.
ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื”, ืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœืงื‘ืœ ืืช ื”ืขืฆื” ืฉืœ ืกื‘ืชื ืฉืœื™
02:48
One, I can take my grandmother's advice
58
168228
2276
02:50
and sort of least-expect my way
59
170528
2232
ื•ืœืœื›ืช ื‘ื“ืจืš ืฉื‘ื” ืื ื™ ื”ื›ื™ ืคื—ื•ืช ืžืฆืคื” ืœื”
02:52
into maybe bumping into the one out of 35 possible men
60
172784
4191
ื•ืื•ืœื™ ืœื”ื™ืชืงืœ ื‘ืื—ื“
ืžื‘ื™ืŸ 35 ื”ื’ื‘ืจื™ื ื”ืืคืฉืจื™ื™ื ื‘ืชื•ืš
02:56
in the entire 1.5-million-person city of Philadelphia,
61
176999
4173
ื”ืขื™ืจ ืคื™ืœื“ืœืคื™ื” ืขื 1.5 ืžื™ืœื™ื•ืŸ ื”ืื ืฉื™ื.
03:01
or I could try online dating.
62
181196
2589
ืื• ืฉืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœื ืกื•ืช ื”ื™ื›ืจื•ื™ื•ืช ื‘ืื™ื ื˜ืจื ื˜.
03:04
Now, I like the idea of online dating,
63
184221
2121
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ืื ื™ ืื•ื”ื‘ืช ืืช ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ื”ื™ื›ืจื•ื™ื•ืช ื‘ืื™ื ื˜ืจื ื˜,
03:06
because it's predicated on an algorithm,
64
186366
1977
ื›ื™ ื–ื” ืžื‘ื•ืกืก ืขืœ ืืœื’ื•ืจื™ืชื,
03:08
and that's really just a simple way of saying
65
188367
2125
ื•ื–ื• ืœืžืขืฉื” ื“ืจืš ืคืฉื•ื˜ื” ืœื•ืžืจ
03:10
I've got a problem, I'm going to use some data,
66
190516
2292
ื™ืฉ ืœื™ ื‘ืขื™ื”, ืื ื™ ื”ื•ืœื›ืช ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื›ืžื” ื ืชื•ื ื™ื,
03:12
run it through a system and get to a solution.
67
192832
2381
ืœื”ืจื™ืฅ ืื•ืชื ื“ืจืš ืžืขืจื›ืช
ื•ืœื”ื’ื™ืข ืืœ ื”ืคืชืจื•ืŸ.
03:16
So online dating is the second most popular way
68
196317
2268
ืื– ื”ื™ื›ืจื•ื™ื•ืช ื‘ืื™ื ื˜ืจื ื˜ ื–ื• ื”ื“ืจืš ื”ืฉื ื™ื” ื”ื›ื™ ืคื•ืคื•ืœืืจื™ืช
03:18
that people now meet each other,
69
198609
1634
ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ื›ื™ื•ื ืคื•ื’ืฉื™ื ื–ื” ืืช ื–ื”,
03:20
but as it turns out, algorithms have been around
70
200267
2286
ืื‘ืœ ืžืกืชื‘ืจ, ืฉืืœื’ื•ืจื™ืชืžื™ื ื ืžืฆืื™ื ื‘ืกื‘ื™ื‘ื”

for thousands of years in almost every culture.
71

ื›ื‘ืจ ืืœืคื™ ืฉื ื™ื, ื›ืžืขื˜ ื‘ื›ืœ ืชืจื‘ื•ืช.
03:25
In fact, in Judaism, there were matchmakers a long time ago,
72
205862
3473
ืœืžืขืฉื”, ื‘ื™ื”ื“ื•ืช, ื”ื™ื• ืฉื“ื›ื ื™ื•ืช
ื›ื‘ืจ ืœืคื ื™ ื”ืจื‘ื” ืžืื“ ื–ืžืŸ, ื•ืœืžืจื•ืช
03:29
and though they didn't have an explicit algorithm per se,
73
209359
2687
ืฉืœื ื”ื™ื” ืœื”ืŸ ืืœื’ื•ืจื™ืชื ื‘ืชื•ืจ ืฉื›ื–ื”,
03:32
they definitely were running through formulas in their heads,
74

ื”ืŸ ื‘ื”ื—ืœื˜ ื”ืจื™ืฆื• ื ื•ืกื—ืื•ืช ื‘ืจืืฉ ืฉืœื”ืŸ,

03:35

Are they going to start having children right away?

The matchmaker would sort of think through all of this,

03:48
So in my case, I thought,
81
228052

03:49
well, will data and an algorithm lead me to my Prince Charming?

ืื– ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืœื”ื™ืจืฉื.
03:56

1826
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ื”ื™ื” ืขื•ืงืฅ ืงื˜ืŸ.
03:57

ืื‘ืœ ื–ื• ืœื ื”ื™ืชื” ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™ืช.
04:05
The biggest problem is that I hate filling out questionnaires of any kind,

ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™ืช ื”ื™ื ืฉืื ื™ ืฉื•ื ืืช

ืื– ื‘ื—ืœืง ื”ืชื™ืื•ืจื™ ืคื” ืœืžืขืœื”

ื•"ื™ืคื ื™ืช ืฉื•ื˜ืคืช".

ืื– ื›ื›ื” ืฉื”ืกื›ืžืชื™ ืœืฆืืช ืื™ืชื•.

ื•ื ื›ื ืกื•, ื•ื›ื‘ืจ ืžื”ื”ืชื—ืœื”,

ืื‘ืœ ื”ื•ื ื›ืŸ ื”ื–ืžื™ืŸ ื”ืžื•ืŸ ืื•ื›ืœ.

also lots and lots of bottles of wine.
117

So we're nearing the end of our conversation

ืื‘ืœ ืฉื ืคืจื“ ื›ื™ื“ื™ื“ื™ื,
05:43
but we'll part ways as friends,
121

when he gets up to go to the bathroom,

2425
ื›ืฉื”ื•ื ืงื ืœืœื›ืช ืœืฉื™ืจื•ืชื™ื,

"ืืช ืกืชื ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžื“ื™ ื‘ืจืจื ื™ืช."

ืื ื™ ืืงื— ืื•ืชื• ื‘ืชื™ืง,
06:32
I'm going to shove it into my bag,
140
392237

06:38
on all these different data points during the date
143
398206
2416
06:40
to prove to everybody that empirically,
144
400646
1858
ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ื•ื›ื™ื— ืœื›ื•ืœื ืฉื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ืืžืคื™ืจื™,

1023
ืื– ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœืชืขื“ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื›ืžื•
06:45
So I started tracking things like really stupid, awkward, sexual remarks;
147
405176

ื”ืขืจื•ืช ืžื™ื ื™ื•ืช ืžืžืฉ ื˜ื™ืคืฉื™ื•ืช ื•ืžื‘ื™ื›ื•ืช;

409294
2155
ืื•ืฆืจ ืžื™ืœื™ื ื’ืจื•ืข;

the number of times a man forced me to high-five him.

06:54

150

(ืฆื—ื•ืง)

So I started to crunch some numbers,

ืื– ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœืฉื—ืง ืขื ื”ืžืกืคืจื™ื,

and that allowed me to make some correlations.
152
421092

07:03
So as it turns out,
153
423767
2600
ืื– ืžืกืชื‘ืจ,
07:06
for some reason, men who drink Scotch reference kinky sex immediately.

Well, it turns out that these probably weren't bad guys.
