I am a long time lurker and first time poster, so I will break up my post into multiple posts. This season is a shitshow and I blame the “experts”. I am a straight black male professional, so that is the perspective I am bringing to the conversation. Here is my assessment:
Tres He seems like a nice guy who has no problems picking up women. He might not have gone into it with the intention of finding a wife, but he is taking the experiment seriously.
Physical Rating: 8- He has a doughy body. He could be an 8.5 if he worked out. Personality Rating: 9 Would I date? : If I was a woman, I would give him a chance. Smooth operator. Would I marry? : If I was a woman, I might be suspicious that he is not ready for marriage. Would I consummate? : If I was a woman, I would. He looks like he is good in the sack. Would I be a friend?: Definitely. He is a cool guy. However if he had a habit of blacking out, I probably would not hang out with him. I would not go to strips clubs with him.
Vanessa She is a real class act. She has abandonment issues and needs to work on that, but she looks like she would make a good wife. I’ll defend her on the blacking out incident. Guys out there, if your date blacked out in the first few weeks, wouldn’t you get nervous? None of my girlfriends have ever done that.
Physical Rating: 7- she needs to wear makeup most of the time. Personality Rating: 9. Fun and sincere Would I date? : She was not my type, but I would give the experiment a chance. I would try to hold hands with her and possibly kiss her to see if I could get a spark going. Would I consummate? : For the sake of the experiment, yes. But only if the kiss arouses some passion. Would I marry? : No she is not my type, but would have no problems if a good friend married her. Would I be a friend?: Definitely. She is really sweet and has interesting friends.
Neil He seems like a really ethical, sensitive, and intelligent guy. His style might not work for most women, but it would in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He is taking the experiment very seriously and putting up with too much shit from Sam. He probably has checked out and is saying whatever causes the least amount of friction. Neil is a saint.
Physical Rating: 7.5. He looks kind of strange at times because of his eyes, but his body is athletic. Personality Rating: 9.5- he is interesting and would never bore you. Would I date? : If I was a woman, I would give him a chance. Solid guy. Would I marry? : If I was a woman, I would have to make sure that I could deal with his quirkyness, but yes. He would make the right woman a wonderful husband. I don’t think he is necessary a pussy, but does not want to get down in the mud on TV. Would I consummate? : If I was a woman, I would. I think his looks are deceiving and that he would be good in bed. Would I be a friend?: Definitely. He is really a cool guy. I would hang out with him all the time.
Sam This woman is a psycho abusive nutter. She is controlling and manipulative. Had she called me a pussy, I would have checked out immediately. It was low the stunt she pulled having Neil move into her place. I would have never agreed to that. After this show is over, good luck getting a date. She needs a fucking comb.
Physical Rating: 6.5- She looks sort of butch, and disheveled. I wonder about her hygiene. If she put effort into her appearance, I think she could be a 8. She needs to work out and get a tan. Personality Rating: 3. She is a horrible, selfish person. Would I date? : She is not my type, but I would give the experiment a chance. I would try to hold hands with her and possibly kiss her to see if I could get a spark going. I would not put up with any of her shit whatsoever. I’d put her in her place fast; I’ve heard she is into that sort of thing. Would I marry? : No, she is a psycho and she would make my life not worth living Would I consummate? : For the sake of the experiment, yes. But only if she combed her hair and got herself together. Right now she is not attractive. But if she put effort into her appearance I could find something attractive about her. Even though she needs to work out, it would not be a deal breaker. Would I be a friend?: Definitely Not. She is nasty person with psychological issues. Run, Neil Run.
David He seems like a good, stable guy. He is taking the experiment very seriously and putting up with too much shit from Mustache. I strongly disagree with comments saying he has been pushy and needy. He was tolerant during the honeymoon, and the first few weeks. It’s not unreasonable to want hugs, cheek kisses, and hands held after 3 weeks. When I have dated, I usually hold hands and kiss (not make out) on the first date. This is normal. When I was in college, I hung out with this hot girl but did not make the first move. A few years later she told me we would have been dating had I had tried to kiss her. Society expects guys to make the first moves. Or else they are getting nowhere.
David had to try, no matter how desperate it came across. And the “experts” said he was paired so he could break through her barriers. So it really is their fault that he keeps on trying. Up until the last episode, they kept on egging him to keep trying. David thought that all guys could not break through her barriers, but really it was him that Mustache was preventing from breaking through her barriers. Why didn’t they hook him up with Jackie from last season? That might have worked.
I think that at this point he should hook up with another woman. Why should he waste 3 more weeks of his life, when he could be meeting his soul mate? Had Mustache treated him with any respect whatsoever, I would say he should wait the 3 weeks. But since she is a nasty bitch, I say go for it.
Physical Rating: 6.5. He is not ugly. He is not hot. He has a doughy body. He could probably be a 7.5 if he got a tan and worked out Personality Rating: 8.5- He is not that interesting, but seems like a fun, outgoing guy. Would I date? : If I was a woman, I would give him a chance. Would I marry? : If I was a woman, I would think he is marriage material. He needs to slow things down, but not with Mustache. Would I consummate? : If I was a woman, I would. But don’t think he would be good in the sack. They could work on that over time. Would I be a friend?: Definitely. He is really solid guy that would have my back.
Bitchbot 2000 This woman is a one of the meanest persons that I have ever seen. I put all the blame on her. I get that she does not find him hot or attractive, but he not a gross troll. She should have taken this experiment seriously. She should have been upfront with David and tried things that might have increased her attraction to her. She should have tried holding his hand, and god forbid, let him kiss her once just to see if there was something that she was missing. If nothing happened, at least she tried. She should have treated him with respect and tried to become friends with him even if she determined that they were not going to work out.
I notice how she perked up, once she found out he made money. I also noticed how she hugged David’s friend. So what she was saying about physical intimacy was complete bullshit. She would probably bone David’s friend in week one. Also how she would make a man wait 2 months before any hugs or kisses or hand holding. Total bullshit as well. What man would tolerate that manipulative bullshit? It would be one and done for me if after the first date, I could not hold her hand. Why did she have an issue of David asking what her favorite color is? This is not an intimate question.
The fishbowl exercise is a perfect example of why this is all her fault. “What is your favorite place to be kissed?” Um….neck, ear, knee, elbow, hand, any place that is not covered? How fucking hard was that? Couldn’t even give him that. What a bitch. Good luck getting another date.
Physical Rating: 6.5- She has got to wax that fucking mustache. It’s not fair to David or the viewers. Her body is ok. Slightly chubby, but not a deal killer. I’ll give her this, she has killer hair. Please shave that mustache. Please. Personality Rating: .5- She is a selfish, superficial bitch. I give her .5 because she is a vegetarian, otherwise she would get a 0. How can someone be so kind to animals, but so cruel to humans? Would I date? : Fuck no. Would I marry? : Hells to the No. Would I consummate? : Normally I would try to give it a go for the sake of the experiment, but between her mustache and her nasty personality, I just can’t. Would I be a friend?: No. David lucked out, because she did not like him. Imagine if she did like him. He would be stuck with that selfish, boring, bitch.
