My name is Jack and I am one of the hosts of the podcast I am.00:00:42JackWithout social today, however, I am happy to say that I am with May from Malaysia may how are you today?00:00:51MayEverything's fine, Jack. How about you?00:00:53JackYeah, everything was going pretty well. I mean, I told you a little bit about the problems I was having right before we recorded here, but everything seems to be fine.00:01:03JackAnd UM.00:01:03MayYou need to. Yeah, not to worry.00:01:05JackYeah, not to worry, just in some uploading, uh, issues with the podcast. So to what happened was May presented me with a couple of really good would you rather questions and I thought we I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to record with may these episodes.00:01:25JackSo we're going to do.00:01:26JackOne today, and probably one later in the week. And so today's question is, would you rather receive a heartfelt love letter?00:01:36JackOr experience a romantic surprise date.00:01:42JackAnd may I will let you answer first.00:01:46MayMaybe we could simplify the phrase heartfelt, but yeah.00:01:51JackOhh yeah, yeah, sure. Would you rather receive a love letter like just a really sincere love letter and that's what heartfelt means sincere.00:02:00JackYou know, a real love letter or a or a surprise date. A romantic surprise date.00:02:08JackSomething you're not expecting?00:02:10MayOK, so uh.00:02:14MayWithin these two options, I will choose a surprise dinner surprise, romantic dinner. So because when it comes to love letter, every everyone can sit down in front of their PC and write maybe hundreds or maybe thousands of letters and send to who whoever they want to see.00:02:35MayAnd then when it comes to romantic dinner, it it, it needs some more work.00:02:45MayI mean you.00:02:45MayNeed to organize a place? You need budget. You need to find out what what does your partner like and dislike.00:02:56MaySo then.00:02:58MayThere was a lot of work and.00:03:01MayAnd all that shows effort of someone actually.00:03:06MaySo for that for the that those reason I would prefer to go for a romantic dinner.00:03:14MayAnd I don't mind if I don't receive any.00:03:18MayLooks like the whatever letter it's it's just about.00:03:20JackYeah, right.00:03:22MayWriting everyone can write.00:03:25MayAnd it is. It is sincere or not.00:03:26MayOnly they will know, but if you.00:03:28MayWill put some effort to organize.00:03:32MayA dinner or dinner or any event. So it shows that you are serious.00:03:41MayAnd you're working hard towards it.00:03:44JackYeah, I get. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. I don't know. I wonder if this is, like, a gender.00:03:51JackRelated like difference, but I would rather get the love letter, but again, a heartfelt love letter does not mean like ChatGPT. Write me a love letter. You know what I mean? Like it has to be. It has to be somebody. It has to be handwritten. No type.00:03:56MayAh, OK.00:04:09JackIt has to be sincere and heartfelt. It can't be from ChatGPT. It's gotta be a legitimate.00:04:18JackLove letter from the heart and then a beautiful love letter is something that I can keep for a long time. You know, I can put it in an envelope and you know, you know, read it from time to time.00:04:32JackAnd think about my, you know, I'm assuming it's my.00:04:35JackWife wrote it, obviously.00:04:36MayOhh so sweet.00:04:38JackYou know.00:04:38MayI can see the sentimental value there, Jack.00:04:41JackYeah, because a meal like it's gone, you know, the the experience is gone. It's it's just kind of disappeared. You eat at the food and then it's and then you're done. Right. But the letter will last for longer for this paper. Yeah. Right. It'll last forever. Also like a romantic. Sorry. Go ahead, may.00:04:58MayOhh you need.00:04:59MayTo say that uh.00:05:02MayYou mean to say whenever you?00:05:05MayMiss your wife or maybe whenever you want to recall all those memory, you can pick up the letter and read.00:05:13JackYeah, whenever she gets mad at me, I say wait.00:05:16JackYou said that you loved me. Look at this. Page three, and then I'll read it.00:05:24JackSo leverage. Uh, no, no, no. So, OK, so the romantic date thing is I I think that like.00:05:31JackI don't know. There's something that make me uncomfortable. If my wife were to organize like a romantic date, I it feels like a man should do that.00:05:39JackI I'm not.00:05:40JackI guess I'm old fashioned, I I mean like I feel like a man. Like the man should should organize romantic dates for for their, for, for their their partners.00:05:52JackAnd and women.00:05:55JackLike writing a love letter is is more I'd I guess it it's just like a gender thing. Like I'd I'd rather I would rather organize the date for her.00:06:06JackAnd I would rather she write a love letter to me.00:06:11JackThat's. I don't. Isn't that weird. It's it's very strange. I I don't. Maybe it makes me, like kind of sexist or whatever.00:06:20MayUsually a guy will start writing.00:06:26MayOr maybe for for the first date, the man will organize.00:06:32MayDinner of Michael launch.00:06:35MaySo you or you you are expecting?00:06:38MayYour wife to write this letter.00:06:40JackYeah, I feel it feels more natural. It feels like. I think the man I think, like I I should be the one that that like organizes the the date and the surprise date and then she can write me a love letter. And both in that situation I would be happy and she would be happy.00:07:00MaySo which one should come first? Check the you mean your wife, right? You will look left and the next step you will organize it.00:07:00JackLike, yeah.00:07:07MayRomantic dinner or how it goes.00:07:09JackYeah, that's that. Seems that's the way I.00:07:12JackThink it should work.00:07:13JackI think the man it, it feels more if it it, it feels awkward to me for her to organize the date and surprise me and take me somewhere to a restaurant I feel.00:07:25JackLike in that case, I feel like the female. I feel like the woman in that situation and she's like the man.00:07:33MayBut you can do both. You can do both, Jack.00:07:35JackIs. Yeah, I don't know. Am I wrong?00:07:38JackAm I is that?00:07:39JackWeird to me to think that way.00:07:41MayOhh you're not but then you.00:07:42MayCan do both at the same time.00:07:44JackYeah, I mean, I guess I guess The thing is is like I should be a more modern man and just be open minded and say it's totally fine for a woman to to surprise a man and take him on a.00:07:56JackDate and it's OK for a man to write a woman a love letter. I mean, that's that's normal anyway.00:08:03JackI think men and women can.00:08:05JackWrite love letters. But yeah, just. Yeah. I would rather receive a love letter. That's what I I think I would really like that. I would like that a lot.00:08:07MayAlright, but.00:08:12May1st is that most of the time men will will not prefer a girl who like, write a letter, love letter, or confess their feelings.00:08:25MaySo, but you were on the other side.00:08:27JackMaybe I'm weird. Yeah, maybe I'm the strange one in this scenario.00:08:32JackI don't know. Yeah, I guess we're we're kind of at odds here because you're you're definitely more into the dates part of it. And I'm more into like having the letter and reading the letter and keeping it as, like, a memento, something to remember.00:08:49JackThe situation, yeah.00:08:51MayThat's interesting to know.00:08:54JackWell, I would love to know what our listeners out there think because is is Jack Weird. Am I weird? That's, you know, for for thinking this way and am I wrong? And if you think I'm wrong, just tell me. I can take it. So let me know and send us.00:09:12MayMaybe we should ask them.00:09:14MayDo they agree? If.00:09:15MayA man, or maybe a woman, right. A love letter to a.00:09:21JackYeah. Is it OK for? Yeah. Should can a woman write a love letter to a man? Or should is it more natural for a man to write a love letter to a woman? And is it more natural for a man to take a woman on a surprise date? Or is it?00:09:29MayYeah, it should be fine.00:09:33JackMore. Is it more natural for a woman to take a man on a surprise date? I maybe I've got it all backwards in my mind.00:09:41JackSo yeah.00:09:42MayI guess everyone will have different opinion and we will love to hear from them.00:09:46JackAbsolutely. Yeah.
