That guy that says he's "not like other guys"

Transcript

You can keep your clothes on. I'm not like those other guys. I just want to cuddle. Sex? What even is that? I've never even heard of that. But whatever it is, it sounds awful. Most guys just want nudes and Netflix and chill. But I just want to wear matching pajamas and watch Love Island. Most guys only want one thing. I just want to hold hands and take long walks on the beach. I don't believe in waiting for marriage. I think we should just skip that entirely. We can find another way to have kids. We can just adopt or something.
