00:00Winning over an audience of subscribers and asking someone on a date can require very
00:05different energies. Sometimes, when two people aren't a match and a camera is beaming their
00:10conversation into millions of homes, even the world's most popular streamers can be
00:14seen getting rejected on livestream.
00:17XQC may flourish while playing slots on kick, but he's occasionally had significantly less
00:22luck with flirting in person. Take, for example, one infamous clip of a conversation between the
00:27former Overwatch pro and Mira, a Russian content creator known as much for her gaming as she is for
00:33her racy hot tub streams. The pair had an encounter at a birthday party for Amaranth
00:37where things quickly got awkward. As XQC attempts to interview Mira,
00:42her patience goes from low to non-existent. After asking him why he speaks so quickly,
00:46even with Amaranth helpfully translating for him,
00:49she explains that she's not interested in getting to know him better.
00:53As the clip continues, Mira asks XQC a few very personal questions,
01:02which he brushes off by asking about what's ahead for her. In response,
01:06Mira simply touches his hair and walks away, leaving everyone in slightly confused silence.
01:12Later in the evening, XQC was spotted sitting off to the side of a couch,
01:16away from Amaranth and company. Some of the streamer's fans have taken his closed eyes
01:20and closed off body language to mean that he was bummed out by this rejection,
01:24while others think he just got sleepier as the party dragged on into the night.
01:29iShowSpeed is one of the biggest names on YouTube,
01:31but that doesn't always help outside of his usual circle of influence. During a party in Brazil,
01:37the young streamer attempted to flirt with one of the attendees, only to get rejected in hilarious
01:42fashion. Unfortunately for iShowSpeed, the entire awkward exchange still exists in video form.
01:48Shaking the woman's hand, iShowSpeed compliments her appearance multiple times,
01:52clearly a little nervous to chat her up. She thanks him for the compliment, but quickly
01:56changes the topic of conversation to ask him if he's having a good time at the party.
02:00The awkwardness continues to mount, the loud music and language barrier making it difficult
02:05for both parties to hear and understand one another. Speed says she looked good.
02:10She asks him if he likes Rio, rinse and repeat. Finally, iShowSpeed asks her if she's seeing
02:15anyone and if she's interested in going with him, to which she responds,
02:19"...oh, okay, thank you."
02:22iShowSpeed fans have had a field day roasting him over the clip,
02:25with some remarking on the fact that he's looking extremely sweaty in this clip.
02:29Others have reassured the superstar streamer that he'll have better luck next time.
02:34Linz Frye is a streamer best known for FPS gameplay and awkwardly hilarious videos,
02:39in which she flirts with random squadmates. If you've ever suddenly been asked if you're single
02:43during a round of Warzone or Fortnite, odds are good that you might have been paired up
02:47with Linz Frye. She's gone viral on TikTok and YouTube for sharing clips of her flirtatious
02:52gaming exploits, typically playing things up to the camera for laughs. Not all of these
02:56chats have gone in her favor, however, and she's released several compilation videos
03:00showcasing rejections from potential gaming suitors. Many of the guys she encounters while
03:05gaming immediately assume that she's doing a bit. Others end up feeling too uncomfortable
03:10to respond with anything more than an awkward giggle. In one memorable clip, however,
03:14Linz Frye can be seen stumbling upon someone who recognizes her and is already a fan of her
03:19routine. The two banter back and forth for a bit, but Linz Frye is ultimately left disappointed
03:24when her teammate reveals that he's married and not up for any further shenanigans.
03:29"...Shut up, you're not a single dad."
03:32"...No, no, no, my wife is..."
03:33"...Ow!"
03:34"...F-----!"
03:36This one is more of a case of secondhand rejection, so it doesn't totally fall on
03:40XQC's shoulders. Back in 2022, the streamer asked his buddy Kai Sanat to help him meet
03:46a new girlfriend. To his delight, Kai happily accepted the challenge. The pair got a good
03:51bit of content out of XQC's quest for love, but at least one awkward exchange came about
03:56because Kai misunderstood the situation at hand. In one part of a 2022 stream with Aiden Ross
04:01and Call of Duty streamer Nadia, the latter asks the guys to help her find a date. Specifically,
04:06she asks if Aiden or Kai can set her up with a girlfriend. Without hardly skipping a beat,
04:11Kai Sanat suggests XQC, then is shocked to hear Nadia shoot down the suggestion.
04:16"...You just curved XQC?!"
04:18"...You can't curve XQC, I'm not gonna lie."
04:20"...The biggest juicer of them all?!"
04:22Commenters have since pointed out that she wasn't simply turning down XQC,
04:26but that she just wasn't all that interested in meeting a guy at that time. During the early
04:30part of the stream, however, both Ross and Sanat seem scandalized by Nadia's quick rejection.
04:35They'd probably be happy to know that Nadia and XQC have at least dreamed together,
04:40though it seems no romantic connection was formed from this.
04:44"...I have to tell you something."
04:45"...What's up?"
04:45"...There's a voice changer, bro."
04:47Lovely Lo has found a niche in the streaming space by trolling her squadmates with voice-changing
04:52software. She'll often begin a round by pretending to be a male gamer, only to turn the tables on her
04:57unsuspecting duos partner midway through. Lo will typically throw some flirtation into the mix,
05:03making for some hilariously awkward interactions. In one hilarious clip,
05:07she even tricked fellow streamer Sophie Snaz into thinking she was a guy with a thing for
05:12British accents.
05:13"...Are you British?"
05:14"...Yeah, I'm British, yeah."
05:15"...Wow, that accent's doing something for me right now."
05:18Though most of these voice-altered chats end with everyone having a nice laugh,
05:22a handful have concluded with a full-on rejection.
05:25Some of the guys Lovely Lo chats up feel weirded out by the fact that she began their conversation
05:30with a voice changer, with a handful of her teammates referring to the playful deception
05:34as a genuine red flag. In one particularly brutal case, the guy Lovely Lo was chatting with
05:40told her that he could probably get past the voice changer, only to then tell her that
05:45he wasn't feeling a connection after seeing her Instagram pictures.
05:48In this stream, Lovely Lo clearly went through several bewildered emotions at once. As her mark
05:53said,
05:54"...You sound cute, but you're kinda plain looking, man."
05:57With this, her would-be beau logged off.
