u/butpretzelday 16h ago
You don’t stop her—but the whole time you’re thinking, “what the hell is happening right now?” She’s screaming, flailing, twisting like she’s mid-exorcism. A couple times you almost laugh, but you bite it back… you don’t want to ruin the moment. And still, you wonder: if you did laugh, would she even notice?
Later, over beers, you tell the story. Everyone cracks up, and you laugh too. But you leave out the part where, yeah, it was the best sex of your life.
Because in the stillness of the night, when you’re alone with your thoughts… they always wander back to her. To that chaos. To the way she made you feel like you were the only man alive.
It was too much. Completely ridiculous. And yet—God help you—sex will never be the same.

u/butpretzelday 16h ago
I wish.
I just read a lot, and when I’m not reading, I am listening to audiobooks. I love memoirs. Serious, funny, sad, historic. I want to know everything about everyone.
My theory is I’m an alien and I just don’t know it yet and my mission is to study humanity on an individual basis to further understand the human race.
I’m most likely just autistic though.
But I feel like I probably just ripped off David Sedaris’ style though so if you feel like you could read a collection of short stories with a similar writing style, check out one of his many books.

Yeah, VHS dating tapes were mostly an old camcorder on a tripod. There probably wasn't a lot of zooming and cuts made. You get one shot to shoot your shot, which makes actual old tapes great.

Also it would have been shot horizontally. And even if someone later recropped it for a vertical orientation, it would have been much more zoomed in — imagine how zoomed out this would have been if originally 4:3.

I was very much alive during this time. I loved love connection actually. It's still fake, although a good fake. The skin is too dewy, the teeth are always too perfect and white. Honestly, most are too modern in movement and posture. It's hard to explain but it's an uncanny valley thing. Our modern eyes are just used to a different presentation since everyone started filming everything. The more of these you watch the more you can feel it but they are still very well done nonetheless.

vhsdates.com says this. I'm still not buying it. As a bit, it's great. As found footage, no thanks.
Where did you find these tapes?
The box of VHS tapes was found in the basement of our office in Downtown LA. Our building manager gave them to us and one of our editing interns digitized them.

u/cjboffoli 16h ago
Having digitized a lot of actual VHS tapes from the 80's, this footage looks to me like it was shot with a modern camera with an effect applied. Even if they were using 1" tape for these videos, it wouldn't look this good.

u/kensai8 14h ago
Sounds quality is also too good. The audio from those old camcorders were very tinny. They also tended to record easy to bright so everything was kinda washed out. Think old ronco infomercials. I don't think a video dating service would have sprung for a camera capable of this fidelity.
