What strange advice does a TikToker offer?
She's got this giant poster board sitting on her lap and it just reads, ask me for free advice in big, bright orange letters. I don't know how long she's been sitting out there for, but a middle-aged man stops on his bike. Do I go to Uzbekistan or stay here? Mmm. Yes. And it's such an intense question. Say that one more time. Do I go to Uzbekistan or stay here? Do you have family there? No. Why do you want to go? To meet a woman. to meet a woman and it was Uzbekistan, which that's a huge thing to ask a stranger for advice. Do you move to the other side of the world for a woman or do you stay here? I don't know, but maybe he just needs someone who blurts out an answer. To give you the honest truth of how I feel about this TikTok, it appears to me that he just wants someone to say yes. Like, you know, when you ask someone for advice, but you already know what you want to hear. So anything else is just going in one ear and out the other. It doesn't matter to you.
It's like when you decide you want to buy something already, you ask your friend and they tell you, do you really need it? You just keep going until they say, yeah, you should totally get it. That's the energy here. And the man on the bike has this very interesting outward appearance. He's wearing this black beanie, but it's only covering half of his bald head. And he's eerily calm the entire time, like a bit too calm. The way he's just pleasantly smiling. Do I just uproot my life and move to the other side of the country? It's really odd, right? Yes. And the TikToker Bailey continues to ask him, you don't like American women? Well, they're familiar. So you've given up on meeting someone here in America? No, I'm married. So he's married, pondering if he should move to the other side of the world for a woman. And the whole thing just gets stranger and stranger. He talks about how his kids are out of the house. He has an empty nest.
He wants to find a woman that he's content with. He says, quote, I want to find a companion that I'm content with. And the whole time he's just pleasantly smiling while Bailey keeps telling him, sir, you're unhinged. You need to at least talk to your wife about this or settle things out here first before you even think about moving out of the country. This is crazy. This is between you and your wife. And he's mentioning that their love is diminished and he's just pleasantly calm the entire time. And there's this one part of the TikTok where he just looks at her and says, yeah, and then six months later. And he kind of throws his hands up in the air as if six months later, he's going to end up in Uzbekistan.
Now, at the very end of this very transparent conversation, I think that he realizes he's being recorded. Mm hmm. He says, well, maybe I'll find myself on the internet and figure it out from there. That video was filmed in June of 2024, June of this year. A few months later in August, just like two months later, someone who looks very, very similar to this man on the bike, eerily similar, goes missing. quite literally vanishes in the most bizarre kayaking trip out at the lake. His kayak is found in the water, overturned in the deepest part of the lake. His car is nearby. His wallet is found.
I'm sorry.
