His name is Ed and he does pranks.

These pranks, social experiments and awkward social interactions take place in London for his Twattery YouTube channel.

Ed is fearless and recently wandered around asking random guys – 100 in all – for their phone number. If these strangers asked why, Ed would tell them he finds them attractive and would like to go on a coffee date.

But Ed feels the need to make clear on the YouTube page that he is straight: ‘Asking 100 guys straight up for their number. No homo though.’

Ed’s previous ‘social experiments’ include asking 100 women for their phone number, asking people inappropriate questions during an otherwise banal conversation, and telling people to shut up.

Most guys take the request and the flattery in stride as Ed mostly gets turned down. One guy snarled: ‘Fuck off you freak. Muthafucka.’

Like Ed, he too must be ‘no homo.’
