More To Love
It’s amazing how many dating shows have sprung up since the original, “The Bachelor.” We have been treated to The Bachelorette, The Age of Love, Dating in the Dark, and More to Love. There have also been some on cable and other channels that are less well known. Each features a specific angle or twist, and More to Love is about just that- plus size folks looking for love.
I have been following the show, and what I find interesting is the focus that the producers, bachelor and bachelorettes have all placed on the importance of looking at who each woman is on the inside- and not on her appearance. However, like in all these dating shows, the women are carefully coiffed, made up and dressed. The bachelor often remarks on how beautiful they look when they go out on one of their dates. Indeed, a number of these women would be considered “knock-outs” by men in general if they were to achieve an average weight.
With all this emphasis on not emphasizing weight, I am struck by the fact that Luke (the bachelor) has narrowed his candidates down to three of the “smallest” women from the original group. Coincidence, who knows? They are also quite attractive. Two are professionals and one is a waitress, and their backgrounds are very diverse. So, the common denominator seems to go back to looks- as well as the connection he feels he has with them.
I must say that Luke is one of the sincerest and nicest of all the bachelors we have been treated to. He goes out of his way to reassure the ladies that they are beautiful and special- no matter what message they may have been getting to the contrary from other men. I hope he really does pick someone who is truly into him for who he is- and not how he makes her feel or what he may have to offer in other areas.
Tonight Luke will narrow the field down to two women. I have my favorite, and it’s not the catty blonde. Also can’t wait to see which way he will go with the woman from a very different religious and cultural background. This show could teach us a few things I think. Stay tuned…
