I’ve noticed that there are some “reality” shows that feature people going on dates. I assume that there are folks out there in TV Land who watch these programs. Finally! Something more pathetic than being too busy to date: wasting time watching _other people_ date. * * * Sheesh, TN\*hippie ---

I saw one of those dating shows once. What I don’t get is, all the people on the show were very attractive. They should be able to get dates without a TV show! Now, me…_I_ need to go on a show and be chained to five men. It’s the only way I can keep em from running! 🙂 ---

Bit like over here (UK) lets see what crap there is on the TV i have but seldomly watch: #Street mate - grabbing people off the street for dates based purely on their looks nothing else #Blind date - where questions are scripted the dates are actually actors and the people are always model like looks #perfect match - mother , best friend relationship psychologist choose a person from 5000 people that is an ideal match for victim , nearly always based on looks #Farmer wants a wife 500 horny farmers meet 500 horny women of which only the good looking farmer and good looking woman actually make any progress #God’s gift (good thing this isn’t on anymore) women choose man based on his body and looks crap utter crap and makes me feel like utter crap as well being as I don’t have anylooks , women won’t give me the time of day (they pull a .44 magnum on me and backaway slowly).Hmm what a shallow world we all live in eh? ,at least I can live in comfort that people who date on looks usually have their faces fade to old age. ---

And then there’s Dismissed, which is a big sucking black hole void of humiliation, even if you’re in the same building as a TV that has it on. Ugh. If I wanted to watch three ugly beasts do some sort of pathetic mating dance, I’d switch to Animal Planet. ---

Daowajan would like to apologize for the previous reference. She’s been awake for a long time and does not mean to insult any of the many species of nonhuman animal that lives on this planet. Except MTV viewers.
