Guy 1: Peter-Christian Aigner
30, American-History Professor
She says: He’s supercute.
My dad would love him because he’s a history buff and cares about democracy. We connected once he calmed down a little bit, I think.
Would you call? Yeah, probably.
He says: She’s friendly, supersweet.
We talked about how I teach kids in New York and about how she wants to launch a clothes line. I guess I’m attracted to her, yeah.
Would you call? I might.

Guy 2: Floyd Kellogg
30, Musician
She says: He’s supercute and funny. And we had supergood chemistry. He showed me his album, and I really liked his album artwork. I saw it, and I thought, Whoa, he gets it. That’s
how I see the world. I’m a visual person.
Would you call? I’d definitely go out with him.
He says: She has such good energy. I feel like we’ve barely scratched the surface. There’s something about her beyond what I would think of as attractive on, like, the Internet. She’s got such a spark to her.
Would you call? Sure!

Guy 3: Frederik Kofoed
22, Danish Tourist
She says: I love European boys. And the traveling spirit—if you want to pick up and go, I’m like, I want to marry you! Physically, he’s a little short. But his personality couldn’t be more my type.
Would you call? Yeah, he’s adorable.
He says: She was lively—I don’t know how to express in English … energized, yeah? We talked about my trip and stuff, yeah. I wouldn’t have gone for her normally, no. But now, after talking to her, it would be fun to go out with her, I guess.
Would you call? Maybe.

Guy 4: Aksel Gurkan
26, Real-Estate Agent
She says: He’s from Istanbul.
We talked about how America sucks, and I kind of loved that.
He’s physically not my type, but cool personality—good conversationally.
Would you call? I don’t know.
He says: We have a lot of things in common: I’m from Turkey, and she’s been to Turkey; we both love New York. I love darker-haired
and darker-skinned girls, so she is very much my type.
Would you call? I would like to go out.

Guy 5: Jack Cearnal
25, Video Producer
She says: He’s my favorite! Hands down! His hat? No, thanks. But we can change that—I’m a stylist. He has a good vibe. And he’s got really dreamy eyes and looks like he’s from Peru or Uruguay.
Would you call? I would take off that hat and give him my number in a heartbeat!
He says: She came on very energetic—I don’t know if she’s an actress or what.
I like the curly hair, and yeah, she’s cute. She’s interested in moving to Australia, which is a huge turn-on for me.
Would you call? Probably.

Girl 1: Mary MacGill
24, Jewelry Designer
He says: I think we connected.
She makes jewelry, and my mom designs jewelry, so we talked about
that. She had a fun, outgoing personality. And she’s got a great smile.
Would you call? I definitely would.
She says: Very, very sweet. Nice guy. He talked about how his mom makes jewelry, and he liked that I do too. And I think that’s healthy—men like to see something in a woman that’s familiar to them. He’s my type: very tall, very cute face.
Would you call? Yes.

Gril 2: Donna Czerwinski
41, Video and Event Producer
He says: I don’t think we’d get along. She’s a little too cynical; she doesn’t seem to have fun. She’s very into her work, which is cool, but she seems afraid to be genuine. She’s also a bit short for me. Also, she told me she’s 42, so …
Would you call? No.
She says: Chad was cute and sweet.
When I told him my age, I think he was turned on because of the whole
cougar thing. I mean I’m not a cougar, but I love tall guys.
Would you call? Yeah.

Girl 3: Sarah Lannon
29, Grad Student
He says: She’s easy to talk to.
It’s cool that she’s in school
to work with autistic kids. And she’s into
fitness, which is hot. I definitely appreciate a girl who takes care of her body.
Would you call? Sure.
She says: He’s from the Midwest and
has that boy-next-door cuteness. He was very present and communicative. Physically, he may be a little soft for me? I usually go for more athletic guys. But he’s very cute.
Would you call? Possibly.

Girl 4: Candiss Koenitzer
23, Studio Assistant
He says: She’s cool. She’s been
the tallest out of the girls so far, and I like that. At first I wasn’t sure about her pulled-back hairstyle, but once I talked to her I thought she pulled it off.
Would you call? I’m not sure.
She says: He was very nice. We talked about travel and Paris and parks. It's nice that he’s tall. I’m a little funkier, but I can like an all-American type—personality is important.
Would you call? I might ask him out, and I think I’d give him my number if he asked for it.

Girl 5: Galina Mardilovich
28, Art Historian
He says: I felt a real spark.
We talked about art—like, I went to the Met with my mom, and
she went to the Met recently. She's a great conversationalist. We really connected. She’s got a quirky look but in a very, very cute way that I like.
Would you call? I’ll totally ask her out.
She says: It went really well! He seems
fun, and our worlds overlap. Someone mentioned that he has a midwestern
look; I just thought it was a cool look.
Would you call? I’d totally go on a date with him.
