The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On

Just another toxic dating reality show, glad I don't watch these type of shows often, I can feel my brain melting. These people need therapy, not a reality show. Poor things. I do hope they all get the help they need.

As a woman who doesn't want to have kids, it was pretty offensive to watch a woman who's main boundary was to not have children (she said she doesn't feel comfortable around them!) have her FIRST conversation with a man be plowed over and ultimately be asked to overcome it, as if it's a fault, and despite not fully understanding where she's coming from. He was eager for her to admit it was about pregnancy affecting her body, rather than the lifelong consequences of raising a human being that she's not comfortable with. Then for her to actually acquiesce to it like it's not even that important of a concern, is absolutely mind blowing and reinforcing of the persistent sexist mindset that still exists. So much for women representing the rest of us, not that I should have expected it from such a shallow show.

..even for reality show standards. Love is Blind has a ridiculous premise, but seems mostly real, aside from the expected reality tv editing and staging. This is very hard to believe any of, to me. These people are being put in a situation (let's watch my partner (who I want to marry) date and potentially "fall in love" with & leave me for someone else whilst in the same room as me) that would trigger primal feelings of stress, jealousy and misery in the vast majority of people. But these people are all as flat as can be. It just doesn't look like real human behaviour. Entertaining but less so because of the seeming fakeness.

This show is literally horrific and these people are remarkably shallow and stupid but for some reason I cannot stop watching. Also what the F is this whole concept? So toxic and cringe even if it's scripted there were some scenes that was hard to watch but then I remembered those people stirred the sh*t for themselves so then I was ok again.

I'm a reality show addict, like most girls... I'm not even sure why that is.... its all so cringey. The show is so cringey, but I'll watch it!! I'm not sure how real this show is, but it's kinda ridiculous. When you first meet a "date", everyone puts on a front. Guys act like they care about your feelings and girls act like they're willing to cook, clean, and rear the children at the same time freaky in the sheets. EVERYONE does this, but nobody seems to remember 2 years later in their relationships.. Its funny how these people go into this show 'believing' one thing, but as soon as they meet someone else they're attracted to, their 'beliefs' suddenly change. So comparing someone you're with for 2 years to someone you first meet is just absurd in thinking they're 'different'.. YOUR PARTNER ONCE DID THIS TOO!! Are these people naive af?! Looking for their 15 min (Alexis and Hunter obviously)?! Who knows? But I'll keep watching!
