I wonder in what spirit you posted this, Sonatina. I will admit at first I found it funny (in a "cringing" way, rather à la Sacha-Baron Cohen), thinking perhaps it was a spoof video. Then I began to reflect, and found it quite sad if indeed these people were genuine seekers of soul mates. Sad, that is, of us to poke fun at others' vulnerability and ill-ease. But as I said, I'm not at all sure if it is spoof or not.

They are all actors and it is clearly a spoof.
I can recall one of them as a comedian distinctly being on British telly in the 1980's.
I view it as a light hearted satirical take on an age old issue.
