You wouldn’t think cyber celeb William Sledd, 24, and BFF Lindsey Waddy, 23, would ever have an ounce of boy trouble. These 2002 Reidland High School grads are smart, gorgeous, fashionable and, of course, funny. But it turns out that having 3 million plus YouTube fans doesn’t make it any easier to find the right fella — even when you’re as totally hawt as these two. The truth is, they’re just two girls looking for love. And we know two great guys are out there for them, waiting to be found!
William Sledd! Lindsey Waddy! You are cute, cute, cute, no doubt about it! Actually, you’re hawt, hawt, hawt!
William Sledd: Hey, Bitches!
Lindsey Waddy: Hey, Bitches!
So why are you having dinner with me when you both should be out dating gorgeous men?
WS: Dating in Paducah is not that easy. And there’s not a large circle of openly gay men. Plus, I personally have to worry about whether someone likes me for who I am instead of what I do. But the bottom line is, these girls are looking for boys!
LW: We’re always together — we kind of work as a tag-team. It can get confusing though. One time we were in Peoria, Ill., for a wedding....
WS: It should have taken about four and a half hours to drive there, but we kept stopping every time we’d see a mall. So it took us about 10 hours!
LW: We went out that night and some guy walked by me and said, “You’re hot.” Then he looked at William and said, “But you’re beautiful.” So we’re thinking, “Team William.”
Team William?
LW: Yes, guys are either Team William or Team Lindsey.
Oh, duh, I get it.
LW: And it seemed like this guy was Team William. But then he asked me to dance, and it was totally Team Lindsey.
Hah! William, were you jealous?
WS: No. It was $2 drinks night, so I was totally happy.
Rock on! William, on your blog, you outlined three steps for regaining your dating game: 1) Twenty Thirty Group Mix@6 last week
2) iDate of the Week
3) Date William Sledd: The Video
So far, Step 2 rocks! How did Step 1 go?
WS: We didn’t mingle. We pretty much secluded ourselves.
William! You’ve got to mix and mingle. That’s the whole point!
WS: There were only like two gay men there. There was one I should have mingled with, but I didn’t.
Which one!
WS: I’m not telling.
Oh, come on! Lindsey, you tell us!
LW: I can’t say.
Well, I hope you give it another try. William, with your celebrity, guys are going to be intimidated to come up to you.
WS: It’s probably hard all the way around. I’m always worried about whether someone likes me for who I am instead of what I do. The videos and the TV show are just one part of who I am. Lindsey is always great about helping me figure out if someone is sincere or not.
Speaking of beautiful Lindsey — you are gor-geous! Where do you work?
LW: For FLW Outdoors magazine. I’m managing editor. I love the magazine industry.
An outdoors magazine! Don’t you meet a lot of hotties through that?
LW: I guess. But I’m trying to branch out.
WS: We’ve been searching for a metrosexual man for Lindsey. Someone who is cultured, diverse, independently wealthy — someone who appreciates the finer things in life. Lindsey is definitely gorgeous. A lot of men are attracted to her. Lindsey definitely isn’t aware of her own beauty. I don’t think any of us are. I tell her she’s a hot bitch all the time. It’s going to take the right guy to impress her.
What if she found a great guy, but he showed up in carpenter jeans and, God forbid, crocs?
WS: You have to be so careful with people like that. They dress like that because they’re comfortable with it. Changing their look has to be a gradual process. There are a lot of guys who look like crap and don’t know it.
But could you extreme makeover his wardrobe?
WS: I’d pull him aside and say, “What the hell is going on? We have an issue, and it’s with these overalls.” It’s totally corrective. If he were worth correcting, we would correct the situation. We’d start with new jeans.
LW: One more thing is, anyone I date cannot be homophobic. They have to be OK with William. He is my bestie!
No doubt! And William, with all your fame! How do famous people date?
WS: Apparently, not well! I’m pretty picky. It’s going to take a certain caliber of a man to get my attention. I will date someone based on their personality, but they have to have their stuff together.
Does the guy have to be as cute as you are?WS: I would prefer tall, dark, handsome, rugged and masculine over cute, cute, cute. I want someone with goals. You can tell if someone is waiting for life vs. taking on life.
LW: And someone who cares about appearance. William and I are not shallow, but you have to be physically attracted to someone to make it work. It’s a proven fact that people of the same attractiveness level, on a scale of 1 to 10, pair up the best. If William were to date a 2, it’s not going to work.
WS: We both need 10s. Hah! We’re just honest. We’re going to tell it how it is.
Tell us about your tag-team system.
WS: We’re always together and we meet a lot of people. Usually we go out for drinks, and after awhile we become very conversational. We look out for each other.
LW: Like in New York. William saved me from a guy who turned out to be the Casanova guy from the Today Show!
WS: Total creeper! He wrote a book about how to sleep with women without buying them dinner.
Yick. Was he doing research for a sequel?
LW: I don’t know, but I didn’t realize who he was until I looked on the Internet today. Luckily I was not another Casanova statistic!
Good for you! So speaking of dinner, describe your perfect date!
WS: My perfect date would be dinner and movie with hand holding at the movie. I’m a lover not a fighter. I want to hang out in bed and watch movies. I’ll put roses on their car. I like to wow people. I strive for perfection. I haven’t done anything like that in so long.
I’m totally open to dating people, but I’m not out there looking for the next Mr. Right. I’m not looking for a husband just yet.
How about you, Lindsey?
LW: I’m not looking for a husband either. I was engaged at one time, but I just wasn’t ready.
WS: We’re in our 20s, and we don’t want to look back in our 30s and 40s and say we did nothing in our 20s.
LW: I’d rather regret doing something than regret not doing something.
Good philosophy! So what’s the one thing a guy has to know before he dates either of you two?WS: We’re always late wherever we go. It just happens. We can’t control it.
What if your date was total oh-la-la?
WS: We’re going to be late.
OK, so I know our server will crash from all the emails people will send trying to get in touch with you two.
WS: We’ve set up emails just for that purpose! If anyone is interested in meeting us, they can email idatewilliam@williamsledd.com or idatelindsey@williamsledd.com.
What if someone were interested in you both?
WS: They can email us both!
Well, William Sledd and Lindsey Waddy, I just can’t stand it. If you don’t get tons of emails and tons of dates in the next few days, I’m gonna have to go on YouTube myself. You’re both absolutely darling and I can’t wait for step 3, the dating video! Let us know when it’s posted and we’ll spread the word!
