This is a transcript of the Dating Show in March, where we look at how shoes are key to finding love, we find out what your fridge says about you, we hear how Bill Clinton is so successful in love and we hear from Ursula, who has finally found love on OlderDatingOnline.com.

R: In this edition of The Dating Show, shoes as well providing a practical solution to walking, a new study says they reveal a lot about your sexual performance.

E: And we hear from a man who claims to be able to tell whether you’re worth dating by looking at your fridge.

R: And we highlight another success story from OlderDatingOnline.com, but we also hear a rather funny story about an angry man.

E: Hmm… OK…

R: But first, Bill Clinton.

B: I want you to listen to me, I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

R: I think he was talking about you there Eliza.

E: -laughs- We did have a passing moment in the bathroom!

R: Really?

E: No!

R: OK. Now Bill Clinton is an expert in eye contact. I quote Scully from the X Files, or actress Gillian Anderson who met Bill on a talkshow. Now she said during an interview on the David Letterman Show that his appeal was lingering eye contact. When he meets you, he takes your hand and makes eye contact, after he leaves and moves onto the next person, he looks back at you and seals the deal. Gillian says that when she got home, she expected to have a message from him but didn’t.

E: That is so sexy.

R: Do you think BIll Clinton is sexy?

E: His tactics are SO sexy. I would be drawn in.

R: Really?

B: I want you to listen to me, I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

-laughter-

R: Come on, carry on!

E: -laughter- Polishing your shoes may be the best way to find a partner, a survey by Jacamo has found that 80% of Brits believe that great footwear is the best way to create a good impression. Rachel Richards, who took part in the survey, couldn’t agree more.

-music-

R: One of the stats that is really interesting is that one in 20 British women say you can tell how good a man is in bed from looking at his shoes. Really?

RR: Yeah it’s true! If I was out in a club and I look down and saw a guy wearing scruffy trainers, I suppose I’d think if they didn’t bother with their footwear, they probably wouldn’t bother in bed.

R: OK… And I mean good footwear is rated higher than good looks and also fashion?

RR: Yeah it’s true because I think it’s one thing that men forget. They put their outfit on and look cool in jeans and stripy tops or shirts and then they end up wearing scruffy trainers and ruining the whole thing.

R: When you’re out and about yourself, do you look at blokes’ shoes?

RR: Definitely. It’s probably the first thing that I’d look at. I just immediately look down. If the shoes have holes in them or they were wearing a black suit with brown shoes, I’d just think “you’ve got no style”. I wouldn’t go out with them because I wouldn’t want to be seen with them.

R: What are your favourite shoes on a man?

RR: Probably smart brogues. I think they look really good with smart jeans.

R: What about Uggs, wellies, sandals or flip flops?

RR: No! They’re a definite turn off. Socks and sandals, wearing wellies when you’re not going rambling or working on a farm, it’s just really uncool. I think it makes your feet very sweaty as well.

R: Rachel, what shoes are you wearing?

RR: I’m wearing black boots.

-music-

E: I noticed that you’d actually bought yourself a pair of brogues. I know, I know… That was Rachel Richards. Mike Jones also took part, and was shocked by how influential shoes can be.

M: It probably wouldn’t be top of my priorities in terms of what I go for. If I was going on a date, it would probably be the last thing I thought about. It has surprised me and made me a bit worried about how I was acting in the past because it’s not something I really thought about before.

R: One of the staggering things from the survey is that one in 20 British women say they can tell how good a man is in bed from looking at his shoes.

-laughter-

R: It worries me. Does it worry you?

M: -laughs- It does worry me now! I don’t think it’s true from my experience but it’s quite surprising. I don’t know where they could get that information from. They do say the link between big feet, but I don’t know if it carries on to shoes,.

R: Now the thing is, I’m a size seven.

E: OK…

-awkward laughter-

E: I’m not going to say anything else. At least thank goodness you bought yourself a pair of brogues, that’s all I can say.

R: Brogues. Size seven. When you’re out do you look at a man’s shoes?

E: Absolutely. I have to say the quirkier they are, the better. For instance there’s this guy called Nick Wooster and he wears things like orange Diems. Awesome! Can’t beat them.

-music-

R: Now do you have a good heart Eliza?

E: I think so.

R: Well here’s an interesting stat, did you know that your heart is the strongest muscle in your body and beats around 100,000 times a day in the average adult. Obviously, your heart rests between each beat. Over a normal lifespan your heart stands still for about 20 years.

E: The truth is, when I walk into the room, most people’s hearts start beating even faster than that.

-laughter-

R: Now let’s hear from someone who found love online at OlderDatingOnline.com, before finding her true love, Ursula, as we will call her, had a few funny experiences.

U: At the start of this date, I don’t really know what happened. I was chatting away, the date was going well. Going back to the beginning, he was ridiculously good looking, very eloquent. We chatted on the phone, chatted on e-mail, you know how you do when you meet someone online. I loved his photograph, ridiculously good looking man. He was very intelligent, very successful, so things were going really well. We chatted on the phone, we had great conversations about our children, our backgrounds, our history, that kind of thing. We met in a lovely pub in Soho and he turned up looking quite gorgeous, well-dressed, well turned out. I loved his mac that he was wearing. We went into a lovely pub and we were chatting, as you do, a bit of chit chat, it was flowing easily. There was lots of eye contact, lots of good body language. I was thinking, this is brilliant, it’s going really well. I was chatting, being hilariously funny. All of a sudden, he slammed things down on the bar to the extent my gin and tonic spilt! He jumped off his bar stool and started shouting at me. Everyone in the pub then stopped drinking and obviously turned to look at us. I was mortified, I was so embarrassed. I couldn’t understand what was going on. I thought I was being hilariously funny and entertaining. He started shouting whilst banging on the bar “You just can’t be serious about anything can you? Come on we’re going.” I was determined not to be left in the bar, because everyone was staring. So I shuffled off the bar, grabbed my handbag, grabbed all my bits and pieces and had to follow him out the bar. He was literally marching, it was like being with my dad and I’d been really, really naughty. I was half laughing, but I was walking past people trying desperately to get eye contact with people because I really wanted to laugh because this whole situation was so odd. It was so bizarre. I was half chuckling and half walking with my head bowed and my hands by my side because I felt really naughty. We were halfway down the tube and he turned to me and said “Right! If you can promise me you can behave yourself, we can go back to the bar and continue this date!”.

-laughter-

U: That made me really laugh even more. That’s when I completely lost it.

R: You have finally found love on OlderDatingOnline.com. Tell us about that!

U: I know! Well… After my hilariously funny dates which have got me through a few dinner parties recounting stories which all my friends love, I went back on and met a chap in the summer, in June. Again, I was feeling a little bit like I’d gone through the process of talking to people lots online and felt wary of getting over excited about meeting someone. We emailed for quite a few months, which was nice actually. It was really nice, and we got quite matey and we found out lots about different things about each others lives. Social things, that kind of stuff. Eventually we met, and I loved his personality, loved his humour, loved the way that he wrote. We met and absolutely hit it off, it was brilliant. Our first date was just the absolute best first date ever. It was still lovely.

R: That was Ursula talking about her and the angry man, and also the man she now loves.

E: Not the angry man, she doesn’t love him. Absolutely not.

R: Let’s not get confused.

E: No.

-music-

E: Next up, we have a guy who claims he’s able to tell whether you’re worth dating by looking at your fridge.

R: Really?

E: Absolutely. He’s a refrigerator dating expert. His name is John Stonehill.

R: Where did we get him from?

E: I don’t know if he was on a fridge magnet somewhere?

R: Who’s doing the research for this programme?

-laughter-

J: When you look at the fridge, you can really tell from what they have in there, from the fridge model itself what their income is like, what their lifestyle is like, how are they eating, how are they drinking, are they exercising, are they socialising? It’s because I come from a marketing background that I found fascinating. Here’s the thing, when it comes to dating, nothing is black and white, we all know that. We’re all our own dating detectives in a way. Some people judge people by their shoes or by what’s on their bookshelves, and when you look in their fridge, you really get a great idea. So when I look at those brands from a marketing point of what’s in that fridge, I have a really good idea. If some girl has Skyy vodka in their freezer, there’s a chance she may be reading something like People magazine, whereas if they have a Ketel One vodka, it’s more likely they may be reading something a little upscale, they may be reading something a little more high brow, like a Vanity Fair or GQ.

R: Right, that was John Stonehill. It sounds like he was talking to us from his fridge. He sounded like he’s in Daft Punk.

E: -laughs-

R: Talking about Daft Punk, if you want to tune into Lovesongs247.com, lots of Daft Punk on there at the moment. Lots of other good songs as well. What have you got in your fridge by the way?

E: My fridge is absolutely bare. I hardly have anything in it. I shop every day so I don’t have stuff stocked in the fridge really. Probably a few mouldy carrots, something like that. He’d be horrified if he came to see my fridge.

R: I’ve just got six cans and a sausage.

E: Six cans and a sausage?

-laughter-
