He is one of the best stand-up comedians in our country right now. Kenneth Sebastian is also a filmmaker, painter, stand-up comedian and is also a singer (and a brilliant one at that!). His YouTube channel is one of the most diverse channels you'll come across. In a conversation with Kenny Sebastian, we talk about dating, grooming tips for men and what his theory of an ideal date is. Here are excerpts from our conversation.
What are the worst and best pick-up lines, according to you?
I don't really believe in pick-up lines. A good conversation is what works for me. Pick-up lines and dating are a very short-term thing.
Your moves?
Don't approach someone just because they look good. I meet a lot of people through friends, and what really catches my attention is a good conversation.
Dating tips for couples who have just started dating
Don't talk to someone with an intention of dating the person. When you do that, you try to paint the best picture of yourself which will naturally wear out in some time and then, you can't stand each other. Dating doesn't really work, according to me. If you want to be in a long term relationship, do whatever it is that you do in life, follow your passion, meet lots of people. Eventually, you'll find someone you actually like hanging out with. Then, maybe in some time, you'll be able to call it a relationship.
Your idea of an ideal date
Good food and a good conversation. Also, I like it when you can do stuff together like attend workshops or say dance classes, etc. You get to know each other better, and it's fun.
Any grooming tips for men?
What kind of a father do you want to be?
I will make sure I spend good quality time at home. Expose them to every kind of art. It can be painting, dance or theatre. Least importance to academics. Discipline. I know so many talented people who are not disciplined and ruining their lives. I give credit to my parents for instilling discipline in me.
What is the first thing that you do in the morning?
I meditate for half an hour. I've been doing it for eight years.
Do you workout?
Yes. If I wake up really early then, I hit the gym. But it gets very difficult sometimes, with my schedule. I like doing bench press, cardio and lifts. Oh, and I also like doing triceps.
What's your favourite healthy food?
My dad makes this amazing organic vegetable salad. I love eating that, and I also love eating fruits for breakfast. Steak is another thing I love to have during breakfast for proteins.
And on that note, he signed off!
