Is It Really More to Love…

wtf friday…

another angle of the fat couple, originally uploaded by Carmen Poon.

Tonight I watched a replay of the latest find love reality show More to Love. It starts just like all the other bachelor shows, until it goes to each girl’s pre/post interview. You know where she tells us, how she’s never been in love before, or how men never take her seriously. On each of those, seemingly non scripted segments, they display her age, height, and WEIGHT!

After the first one, I’m thinking, it’s been a long week and I’m tired— because surely a full figured woman’s biggest insecurity did not just become known to the entire community of viewers and readily available to the world. I’m going to have to watch this show again to draw a more solid conclusion, but right now I am truly planted on WTF.

Why do all the women seem insecure about life, instead of the one aspect that qualified them as contestants? One girl even stated that she’d never been on a date due to an overwhelming fear that it would have been a trick.

So you decide to trust reality TV to provide justice, by placing you in a more competitive setting with cameras rolling to amplify the drama, and play up the cat fights. A huge concern for me is that there were no women who stood out as happy and just in a good place in their lives. They all were desperate to find any man who loved them.

Do they even think the bachelor is attractive? What happened to opposites attract? Do the women feel like they have to date a big guy, just because they, themselves are?
