Fail safe plan, and the woman didn’t get murdered so it’s hard not to chalk this one up as a success.īut at the core of every Nathan For You plan is a perfectly engineered awkward situation on which the segment hinges, and in this case it occurs when Fielder hires a menacing looking “daddy” off Craigslist, introduces him to the next woman and informs her that he’s been given all of her personal information as a precautionary measure. To test the idea out, Fielder plays the role of “daddy,” which involves A) vetting the date by hanging out in front of the woman’s house, asking him to help him take a picture when he arrives and proceeding to grill him with thinly veiled questions about if his potential desire to strangle women or if no really means no, B) taking the date’s fingerprints in case shit goes down (of course) and C) dressing up as a woman in concealing religious garb so he can observe the date at close range undetected. And we’re off.įielder pulls out all the stops to make this one pay off, which isn’t surprising considering how doomed the idea is-the more ill-fated the scheme, the harder Fielder will work to make it happen. Fielder is ready for the CEO’s objection, however, and gets him to agree based on the principle that it wouldn’t be wise to oppose anything that could make women feel safer.

The obligatory glaring problem with this one is that the “daddy” concept ends up being creepier than your average Internet stranger.

We’re not here to judge, though we’re here to improve a struggling business.Īs a man, it’s hard to imagine how women can muster up the courage to actually meet up with a strange man they’ve met on the Internet, and it’s with this in mind that Fielder pitched his idea to the Dating DNA CEO: assigning a “daddy” to women on dates so that they feel safe around Internet strangers. Who knows what the hell is going on with little-known sites like Dating DNA, the subject of the episode’s first segment, or what kinds of people are looking for love there. Just overcoming the online dating stigma and signing up for mega-popular sites like OKCupid or is enough of a mental hurdle for most people. Unheralded online dating services are a pretty sketchy proposition. This week things returned to normal as Fielder tried to give a dating service and Los Angeles area party planner a boost in business. Last week the Internet blew up with praise for the much-anticipated “Dumb Starbucks” episode of Nathan For You’s second season.
