Summary

Pigeons are the ultimate New Yorkers," a well-dressed woman tells Kareem on the subway. They're smart, they're survivors, and the only difference between pigeons and New Yorkers is sunglasses (and the ability to fly). But the conversation quickly pivots to her real passion: advising lost single women in New York. Her dating wisdom? Skip the apps, show leg, go to bars, and never split the check. "I don't want the guy that can't afford me," she declares, explaining that dates now cost $400 and women need to think highly of themselves. She's clearly successful herself, mentioning she advises clients buying $20 million apartments. Kareem's charmed. She tells him her granddaughter and friends at boarding school all watch SubwayTakes. He's hot stuff, apparently.

So, what's your take? Pigeons are the ultimate New Yorkers.

100% agree. They're smart. They know what they're doing. And they're survivors.

And they're thieves. The only difference between pigeons and us is we wear sunglasses.

Oh, that's true. And we can't fly. Yes.

Well, I'm flying high right now. You're flying high, too. Definitely.

Have you ever used qualudes? No.

Okay, good. I don't need anything to be high.

Yeah. And I got to stimulate women all day long because guess what? They're lost. The single women of New York are lost.

Are lost. They come here, they get a great job, they can't find anyone to go out with, and they're good-looking. And I'm looking at them and saying, "Wow, you're available." They don't know what to do. Forget the dating apps. Especially the summer girls. Don't go on your dating apps. Get out there, cross your legs, go to a bar, meet a guy. That's how you meet a guy. You go out, you show leg, and you meet someone. Okay?

Talk to everyone. Okay, that's how you meet people. Get out there, do your thing, and think a lot of yourself. And don't ever pay for the date. The two of you should never split.

There's a big problem happening in New York right now. What's that?

A lot of guys want to split the check. I wouldn't go out.

You know why? The city's too expensive. You go on one date, it costs $400. You don't want that guy.

You can't even go to a movie. I don't care. I don't want the guy that can't afford me.

So, do women come here and they complain to you? They're like, I can't meet someone. They can't find anyone. And I give them the right advice.

What other advice do you have other than show leg? Think a lot about yourself. This is the problem women don't have. I mean, we're really great.

You're very beautiful. Thank you.

You're very smart, too. I didn't get to where I did without being smart. Trust me.

I can see I'm a smarty. I advise people to buy a $20 million apartment. You think I'm not going to be smart?

I don't want to buy a 20 mill. How am I going to get $20 million? You keep working the way you are. You're getting famous. I think you're great. My granddaughter in boarding school. They watch you.

Hell yeah. All the girls watch you.

Oh wow. Really?

You're funny. You're hot stuff. You're a great cat. You were a catch. Kisses to you.

My favorite.
