Allen needed to 'read the room' she wasn't interested in a cook...she wanted a caveman lover!

Sooo if Allen wanted to excite Madison let someone else cook and leave spices at home!

She might think sneaking around to Taco Bell at three in the morning with David was exciting but that will get old fast. She already looked like she was having second thoughts about David when she saw everyone’s reaction to their “connection.” 
While Allen could have “ read the room,” Madison could have “ told Allen the truth.” 
Speaking of which, how long until Davids lying to Madison? He lies so easily and seems to go with the flow. Even during the on camera confession, it took Madison to initiate it.

I think this is way more David/Madison than Madison/David. I also don't think Madison intended for this to come out the way it did, if at all. Although if she is in this whole thing for social media fame, this is a surefire way to do it - being half of the first "spouse swap" in MAFS history. 

I also think that Madison was surprised by how much dislike she got from the cast. I'm not sure why she wouldn't anticipate that but I guess she was expecting sympathy, since all of them have experienced some degree of lack of attraction to their spouse?

Do Very Beautiful Women usually get lots of sympathy? 😃

Maybe she didn’t want a tan line. Maybe she is more comfortable that way. Whatever - no need to slut shame her for something that is perfectly acceptable in pretty much the entire rest of the world except conservative parts of the US. And if you don’t want to take your top of on the beach on your honeymoon, by all means, leave it on.

Not wanting your newlywed wife to show her breasts on the the honeymoon, is not slut shaming or misogyny. Its normal.  What man thinks that is cool? If a guy walked around naked during the honemoon, showing woman his junk, I think the wife wouldnt be down with it.  If both people are nudist, thats different.  Is Julio a nudist? Here in CA you can walk around naked, legally. 

She wants to be all high and mighty but show men her breasts. Shes fake.  She just wants to look moral. Why did the experts force newlyweds to honeymoon together? To live together.  To become intimate friends? Thats asking for trouble. Would this have ever happened if these couples were separate, like before?

Thinking you have any right to dictate what another person, much less your wife, does with their body is misogynistic. Thinking this is "normal" is misogynistic.

Who cares? They aren't his breasts.

My husband's "junk" belongs to him. He does with it as he sees fit.

Karla's husband is named Juan. I don't know who Juilo is or how he feels about nudity.

She took her top off (I mean, she didn't actually - but you are saying she did). Taking your top off isn't "showing men your breasts." No one forces them to look.  Saying she was "showing men her breasts" is assuming a motive that we don't know she had. As I noted, there are other reasons to take a top off. Most of them don't involve seeking out the male gaze, as much as some men like to believe they do. Most of the men took their shirts off. Were they "showing women their pecs?" Did they do it to capture the female gaze? Or maybe they were just hot, or didn't want a tan line?

This is where you slut shame. Karla can't be "moral" and also take her top off on the beach on her honeymoon? She either leaves her top on or she is "immoral?" And again, no one seems to remember her actually taking her top off on the honeymoon...

Well the show is called Married At First Sight. If you don't want to watch strangers get married, go on a honeymoon and try to live together, perhaps watch a different show?

No one forced anyone. The participants signed up to be on this show. They know what it entails. We have seen people leave the honeymoon early, choose to stay in different rooms, choose not to live together...
