The pranksters behind the YouTube channel, Whatever, asked random people of the same sex to go out on a date with them, or for their phone numbers. The results, caught on camera of course, are varied and fascinating enough to warrant a full-scale social experiment. And the differences between the men and women in these videos may (or may not) surprise you.
