Are you bored with reality dating shows yet? Have The Bachelor and The Bachelorette become so predictable that you are itching for something that is more outside the box, edgy, and unpredictable? Dating in the Dark, More to Love, Take Me Out, and The Cougar just didn’t have the spice you were hoping for? Take heart- three new reality dating shows are sure to offer something new in the way of entertainment and shock factor.
Ready for Love, Find Me My Man, and Dates from Hell are here and word out on the street is that they could make confirmed bachelors and bachelorettes of many of their viewers. Ready For love and Find Me My Man attempt to connect daters using the help of a matchmaker -so far, sounds good. The problem appears to be with the women candidates who are vying to be the bachelor’s pick. Their behavior is way out there and even with coaching from the matchmaker, it’s hard to imagine any guy wanting to bring any of them home to the folks, or to a work function or to an activity with friends, or anywhere else.
Dates from Hell has just begun its second season and if nothing else- it’s a cautionary tale about just how wrong a date can go. Any dating singles who watch this show could very well end up choosing to stay at home with a good book, an old movie, their pet- or all of the above. The only reason for the existence of such a show is to let folks know that they need to be very careful and choose wisely who they meet, where, and when- and to walk away at the first sign of any red flag. If you are looking for a good horror story- this should do just fine.
If you decide to check any or all of these out, you may walk away with a new appreciation for decorum, grace, class, manners and “nice” guys and girls. Thinking about the old days of dating could suddenly make you nostalgic. Corny and predictable could become your new dating mantra. Heck, you could walk away from your TV with a new appreciation of that just Ok man or woman you encounter frequently, but don’t think much of. Maybe that’s the point- these shows were designed to help us take a step back and really appreciated all the great single people we see every day.
