Several months ago I had the opportunity to interview Scott Heide, AKA “SoFloDude86”. A “26 year old virgin”, Scott, along with his friends, produced a short rap style video in order to find his “miss right”. Having tried many approaches that have so far been unsuccessful, from online dating to meeting women at the gym, Scott tried something new. Something very clever in fact, as I have yet to see a dating video on a website. To date it has gotten more than 126k+ views and 40-50 emails, not all of them being potential dates.
Ambitious to have a serious girlfriend, albeit struggling with social anxiety, but not committing to the M word (unlike women who fantasize about their weddings, men typically want marriage after they find miss right) Scott is ambitious in his search.
Dates have been meager but, despite his social anxiety, the attention he has gotten has been good for his self esteem and fun as well. CBS 12, Good Morning American, Anderson Cooper and in this segment, MTV is at bat for play from the video. I was approached by Scott to interview for True Life, a documentary show that highlights different life struggles and stories. If was a pleasure working on the production.
