Anyone else watching this?
Out of curiosity I caught last night's episode. Interesting premise and it was "refreshing" to see some reality/dating show contestants who didn't look like they just got back from a magazine-cover shoot.
Anway, if you've not seen it the premise is this:
3 men and 3 women are set up on literal blind dates. There's first a "group date" round, they get to riffle through the other group's luggage, they figure out which person they "most want to date" and then there's a series of dates between couples. All of the dates are done in pitch-dark rooms (with night vision cameras for the audience to see what is happening) until finally during the last "date" they get to see each other and then decide if they're going to continue dating post-show.
In last night's episode one of the women was of, I'd say, an average size. She wasn't very fat, but not slim either. (I believe she was a US Dress Size 6 or maybe 8). She was very cute and curvy. I'd consider myself lucky to date someone like her.
Anyway, the guy who was "matched" with her was disapointed in her "size" saying he prefers a much more "petite" woman, even though the two really seemed to connect. (In the end he did end up meeting her on the balcony to continue to develop a relationship.)
So first of all, the guy wasn't much of a catch himself. He looked like a young Joey Slotnick so it seemed dumb that he would be so judging on this woman's size (based on feeling her during their dates and the sizes of her clothing in her luggage.) And, sure, he ended up meeting her on the balcony but he was shown to have some struggle to decide to (during the "reveal" his face wasn't... kind. Wasn't mean either, but...)
Anyway, I'm sure much of what I'm reading was due to some unkind editing, but it just got me wondering on what "plus size" or "fat" is. (This girl was called "plus size" or some similiar term by the guy and the other "contestants") The girl really wasn't that bad looking at all. She had a nice set of legs and the clothing she was seen in wasn't flattering to her figure but that has nothing to do with her actual weight.
