I’ve been surprised how much the workers are able to notice from such low quality audio and video. They pick up on the times when I am nervous, uncomfortable, bored, interested, and engaged with stunning accuracy. Tonight, feelings of interest shifted into boredom, and the workers picked up on this. Sometimes the feedback tells me to relax or smile and I read the responses afterward and they workers mention I seemed really nervous. I watch the footage and realize they are right, I hadn’t even noticed during the date. It has really shifted my perspective seeing myself through the eyes of others. After a few dates, I feel like I am simultaneously seeing this third person view of myself while I am also on the date interacting with the guy.
‘Woman: Feeling sad and searching for something. Man: Looking more happy and enjoying life.’
‘The woman doesn’t seem to be very happy. I’m not sure if she’s bored or depressed. It’s like she’d rather be anywhere but there. She listens when the guy talks to her but it’s like she’s just putting on an act of paying attention but really wishing she could just leave.’
