Please comment: Blind Date (the Tv Show)

[gmm567]

This show is gives an amazing perspective on the reality
of dating. It sucks for the guys.

Most of the time the guy is open to another date (probably 90% of the time) but the babe hardly ever is. It's the guys who are getting all the rejection. Ouch! I always thought it would be more even, but it sure as hell isn't. Is it really any wonder that some guys are rejection shy?

Ever heard of how hard it is for women in dating? Aren't women relentlessly tossed aside because they don't meet the idealized pictures of perfection we get from Hollywood?. No, they aren't. That belief is a false version of reality , folks. The guys on this program are more than happy to pursue relationships with women who aren't prefect 10's. The problem is with the women and their idealized version of men. Hardly any of these (decent ) guys are good enough for all these women. It's amazing.

A large number of the women are judgemental and rude and insulting. And these are decent guys that are buying THEM dinner. The guys are almost always civil but not the women. I can't believe how decent so many of the guys are, and what they put up with without getting pissed. Some of these dates , I'd be pulling the car over to the side of the road and telling these *****es to GET OUT OF MY CAR. The date is now over. I don't want your *****. You can walk for here.

The lack of civility and disrespect from the women is startling. And the amount of rejection that guys take in dating has to be numbing to the soul. Ever heard of rejection shock! I am surprised more of us don't have permanent psyhcological problems with it.

Probably 20% of the women want bad boys. Screen those *****es out--give them the phone number for the local prison. Tell them that there are alot of hoodlums in the PENITENTARY who would love to get them pregnant!


Comments please! Did any of you realize how lopsided the reject is for us guys? It's horrendous.

I just can't stop laughing at this juxtaposition of statements. ROFLMFAO!

Well, maybe women aren't the only disrespectful ones.

I watch that show. A lot of guys on that show are AFC's, at least most of them that I have seen. If I was on that show, that would be a guaranteed kiss close at least. I do have a little apprehension about being on camera.

THe show Dismissed on MTV kinda forces the guy to be more like a DJ. There are two girls fighting over you. She has to prove something to you.

 

[Julian]

Yeah i agree, most of the guys on there are total afc's.

I watch all the dating shows, dismissed, blind date, elimidate, 5th wheel.

Its hillarious sometimes because i can relate to alot of the situations.

 

[Golden Arms]

That show is freaking HILARIOUS !!!!

Typical date: some AFC gets hooked up with an HB7-9, acts like a gentleman throughout the date, is all nice and courteous, whines about his life, asks for a second date somewhere in the middle of the date , she's always like "ummm..yeah, we can hang out". Then of course, at the end of the date, always goes for the kiss, while she turns the cheek, then he tries again, and again..


Then the post-date wrap-up:

AFC: WOW, this HB was gorgeous. From the moment I picked her up I knew she was the one for me !

HB: AFC is a nice guy....not really my type romantically

AFC: I had the greatest time tonight !! I will definitely call her again and we'll go out again. This could be the start of a great relationship

HB: He was kind of a dork... but a good guy

AFC: I think we really clicked and I am looking forward to going out with her again, I can't wait !! I'm going to tell all my friends and relatives I just met the greatest girl in the world

HB: I would NOT go out with AFC again in a million years

It doesn't matter what the guy does, if a woman likes him it's very hard to screw things up, and likewise if a woman doesn't like him, he's totally screwed.

Watch closely.

You can almost always tell right away, when the first two meet other, pretty much how things will go, good or bad; just watch their body language. The higher the interest, the harder it is for the guy to screw up. The only time watching initial body language isn't true is when, later on, someone majorly screws up, like the guy who said, that besides the typical male fantasy of being with two lesbians, his would be a "two guys and a girl" fantasy. Uh huh.

I've heard some of the most insane things, yet the girl still wanted to go on a second date with the guy, which just goes to show the power of interest.

If you look at the guys who score on the first date, they pretty much don't do much of anything at all. The woman liked him from the get-go.

Most of the time the guy is open to another date (probably 90% of the time) but the babe hardly ever is.

The majority of the time both agree on a "No". It's about balanced between both saying "yes" and one saying "yes" while the other saying "no", though when there is disagreement it's almost always the woman who says "no" and the man says "yes".

The times the guy says "Yes, I'll absolutely call her" and the woman says "Eh, just friends", the date so obviously went bad; but the guy, so caught up in his ego, his vanity, fails to see. Reminds me of the time that at end of a date, a guy butted heads with the girl some dozen times, trying to get a kiss. How pathetic.

A large number of the women are judgemental and rude and insulting.

I don't know about that. That certainly goes against the general flow of the countless hundreds of episodes I've watched.

And these are decent guys that are buying THEM dinner.

No, the dinner is on the producers.

Comments please! Did any of you realize how lopsided the reject is for us guys? It's horrendous.

No it's not. Bear in mind, you're focusing on a man's actions; oh he's acting civil, he's being a gentleman; rather than focusing on his being. Being is more important than action. The heiarchy of importance goes: who you are (top), then how you do, then what you do (bottom).

While I'm on the subject, there's a four-time dater on Blind Date named Ward (who's tall, has dark hair, goatee). The guy is hilarious, hence why he's been on the show four times, and he perfectly demonstrates the "DJ mindset". He truly doesn't give a fvck about what the woman thinks, and it shows every second. He doesn't cater to women, unlike all the other guys, and the only reason why he fails at dates is because he pisses all the women off, not that he cares.

Am I the only one who thinks this quote is hilarious and should be stickied?

Here's the thing about these shows.

First of all, the only people who will be on the show are people who are single but outgoing, since they never choose shy, reserved people to be on TV.

Being that they are this type, you'll never, for example, see a nice, shy, sweet girl on shows like this. Instead, you always see some party girl who is probably more choosy than she has a right to be. Either that or an older chick who is more desperate. I never see a girl who I'd like to marry on that show. It's always a girl who you might have some short-term fling with, and that would be all she's good for.

I would never watch these shows to reflect on my own life, but they're entertaining, and should be taken only as that.

Believe you me, occasionally they do, sometimes with hilarious results. There was one date where the guy did not; except when meeting the girl, saying bye to the girl; say anything the entire date! Hours went by, maybe ten words. Near the very end of the date, he broke the couple hour long dry spell by saying "I like teeth" (The woman was a dental assistant, I think). So, right there, 30% of the dating conversation. I was laughing so hard through the date, that I didn't stop laughing until well into the commercial break.

There was another date where the guy was one big self-admitted dork. When the girl asked him to ask her a question, he paused, then asked her to how many digits she could say pi. In the post-date wrap up, he said "Eh, who needs friends?"

Being that they are this type, you'll never, for example, see a nice, shy, sweet girl on shows like this.

I've seen plenty. Then again, I've watched several hundred episodes.

 

[iqqi]

these shows are NOT reality at all.

1. a blind date even in reality is going to have a great chance of failure because there was no prechoosing. the minute you lay eyes on each other could equal no chance.

2. you're on tv. you're performing for an audience, and you are being watched. and you know it.

That is totally true. Men put too much focus on their actions when it is actually the woman's PERCEPTION that determines if she is attracted. Action doesn't do as much to influence attraction as appearance and demeanor.
This is why handsome or charismatic men can get away with extreme AFC behavior.

Wait, is that the guy that took the asian girl out on one of the shows? They went to some lingerie store and he was hitting on the girl at the counter while his date was in the dressing room, haha! I think he even kissed her hand infront of his date!

That show is hilarious, especially the little bits of info they put at the bottom of the screen.

 

[THA REALNESS]

Because the guys that go on that show are branded as losers and screwd to begin with while the women are branded as adventerous and sporty .

 

[confus4ever]

i think the guys try to hard..end of story

 

[LowPlainsDrifter]

Slightly different perspective...

Who's to say that every blind date is actually aired? Maybe too many successful, compatible dates would make for boring TV.
I think the show's producers are being selective about what they air.

Exactly. Guys commonly complain that most guys on the show act like chumps, and thereby diss the show, but they miss the point.

I don't know, though if you check out the video Blind Date Uncensored (which can be downloaded from K@zaa), he's on it. He's in a cab and the woman he's with spontaneously gets naked, while he's ranting off on some subject.

I once read in an article about the show, from a few years ago, that of the first two seasons (some 360 episodes), they aired all but one episode, because it was way too boring.
