“Is love TRULY blind? We gathered this group of conventionally attractive people who would do incredibly well on dating sites that already exist in order to learn absolutely nothing about the answer to that question.”

I will say, if I’m successfully keeping these dudes straight, the new Love Is Blind season quickly features a guy who thinks women don’t like him because he’s short when in fact the issue is that he is unpleasant.
So if the goal is, “Can women judge this guy fairly without regard to his height?” I think the answer is, “Well, no, but only in the sense that people on this show never run when they should.”
I have a friend who is a very short man. He has never, in the two decades I've known him, had a problem attracting a serious girlfriend. His wife, with whom he has been for well over a dozen years, is about half a foot taller than him.
But, of course, he's smart and funny and interesting and kind.
Right. This guy went into his first meeting with this woman, and she told him how old she was (it was something like 32) and he said something like, “Oh, so you’re not attractive at all anymore.” And then he clarified that he was kidding (!) but it’s like … dude, that is not how you begin.
That took me OUT, I would have walked out right then. Which would have sent me down a villain edit rather than him, if previous seasons are any indication.
My nervous system now has a visceral reaction to seeing the threat of a new season to come. Season after season of low grade terrorists parading as “men” has finally taken its toll
“I’m doing an experiment where I just date whichever man is selling the ugliest mini-fridge on Facebook Marketplace. I’m really excited to find my soulmate.”
We’ve also chosen manipulative, dysfunctional and toxic men without regard for the women’s safety. We will do nothing to protect them, normalizing abuse.
