Take me out (TV show)!!

Maystor, must only be available in the UK. Much like the I player. I think having watched it, that the points the OP was making have been pretty thoroughly debunked...

 

[uncomfortable man]

I don't know about TV shows but I do know real life. You don't have to read minds most of the time to know what people are thinking because most people reveal their true thoughts/feelings by their facial expressions and responses in that first moment of seeing you. Bald guys are like walking tests. We can separate the worth while from the superficial based solely off their their response to our appearance. Some pass while others fail. Such has been my experience.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

I thought we were talking about the show. It's a shame people outside the UK can't watch the link. Both myself and DannyBoyy have given an account of what happened, and it's clear the the OP is telling porkies, and filling in blanks to suit his agenda.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Yes, he exaggerated.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

so I was watching this awful British dating show on ITV where 30 girls scrutinize a man before deciding if they want to date him.

this bald guy comes down and practically all of the women turned their lights off - he wasn't bad looking and apparently quite wealthy but still none of the shallow b!tches wanted to date him. Some of the women even cited him being bald as the reason they rejected him :2gunsfiring_v1:


I'd like to see a similar show where 30 guys get to scrutinize and criticise a woman before rejecting her. But of course, that would be un-PC so it would never be greenlit

rotest:

UC Man, that's more than an exageration. It's a fabrication otherwise known as a lie. He did have "shallow b!tches" who wanted to date him. In fact he had the choice of two attractive women. Practically all of the women did NOT turn their light off as soon as he emerged. Both of these things (no pun intended) are bald faced lies!

10 switched their light off before he started speaking to them.

so a third switched off purely on looks alone

11 more switched off immediately after he said that the house he was building was next to his mum's.....However you look at it, more women were put off by the arguably too close relationship with his parents. I can attest to that, women don't tend to want a man who is tied to the parental apron strings....

and another third switch off.

this and the karate thing were convenient excuses so they didn't have to admit it was the baldness that put them off. A wealthy man building his own house? Who in their right minds would reject him because of that - so what that it was next to his parent's house. And why would women turn off because he does karate? A fit sporty man who can defend her if necessary? That smells of BS to me. The baldness was the biggest factor, I'm sure of it

he was left with two to decide between. Most other good looking men with full heads of hair on the show are left with a lot more than that - they are spoilt for choice, he wasn't.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

Maybe you should stop watching crap like that and taking to be some sort of documentary. You've been proven wrong, but don't have the good grace to accept it, you continue with your exaggeration and mind reading....

NOT ALL WOMEN LOOK FOR THE SAME THING IN A MAN.

*sigh* i just give up the way you think is just so...nevermind *sigh*

it's the way I remembered it - so what if I was off a little with the numbers. AT LEAST 20 women turned their lights off because he was bald - I don't believe the parent's house/karate thing were valid reasons. 20 is very nearly 'practically all'

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

You make this statement based on nothing other than assumption. That does not make it fact, does it? Many women turned the light off because of his living arrangement, as it was immediately after he said about the house next to his parents. Why do you keep ignoring that? Why is that not a valid reason? Because you say so?

yes I agree. I know the TV show doesn't represent all women, but it does represent a large slice of the young, good-looking girl population, many of whom are supericial and prejudiced when it comes to bald (or receding) men

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

Even if what you assume is true, 65%ish is not practically all. It's two thirds. You said none of them wanted to go on a date with him. Again, untrue. And you have no basis for your assumptions.

And it was only TWO what mentioned about the no hair...maybe some off the others thought it but we never know you cant say oh it must be cause he is bald when they didnt say...you just cant.

I'm not ignoring that. I'm saying that as soon as a 'legitimate' excuse came up they jumped at the chance to turn off. Of course we'll never know for sure but it's pretty clear to me that baldness was the main factor. Like I said before, I can't see many girls rejecting a man because he's wealthy and building his own house. It doesn't wash.

I've seen this show before and the exact same thing happens when a Black or Asian man comes on. A few awkwardly switch off at first. Then as soon as they hear something like 'he owns a dog' they all turn off citing that they can't stand dogs. They would never dare admit the real reasons.

At least a couple in this case had the courage to admit it was the lack of hair that they didn't like. I actually admire their honesty despite their shallowness

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

Most women would not fancy either living with, or essentially in the garden of their potential in laws. I know I wouldn't want to if the roles were reversed. I don't know why you watch it, other than trying to work out how Paddy McGuiness sorted his hair out. ITV is only any good for the football, but I digress.....

 

[Quantum Cat]

what about Jeremy Kyle?

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

That's just like a circus side show. Not my cup of tea.

 

[Scarred4Life]

Let's not forget the way he made it sound like he ended up with no date at the end when he had 2 choices or the fact someone mention guys with hair have ended with no dates.

So 2 whole women out of 30. That means 94% of the women rejected him. The two that didn't reject him where the type that go for money.

You don't know how many of those woman rejected him for his baldness.

You don't know that they didn't. When 96% of women reject a rich guy, it's not because he has too much money.

- - - Updated - - -

I just hate how he is making out that the ones who never said if they liked bald people or not really do dislike bald people but didnt say just so they didnt look shallow or used other excuses...its pathetic we dont know you cant assume things.

Do you really think that if I guy came on their with a disfigured face, due to being burned in a fire, that women would say that's why they are rejecting him?

- - - Updated - - -

exactly. If he hadn't been rich and 'alpha male', or had a horseshoe style, it would have been a total blackout and he would have slinked off alone and humiliated.

Dannyboy and ChrisW say we can't make assumptions that the women rejected him for his baldness. If that is the case, we can't make assumptions that the women liked him. We can't assume the show didn't hire and pay these two women to pretend they wanted to date him just so he wasn't completely humiliated.

Mate, whatever drugs you are on, give them up now.

I will state this here before S4L changes the facts, I have asked admin to remove me from the mod team. I am waiting for his response. It has nothing to do with anyone on here, I need to get on with my life and spend less time moderating and more time working on myself. I am still here to find a 'cure' if you like etc.

However if it makes you feel better feel free to tell everyone I was kicked off for whatever reason you can come up with, whenever he gets around to doing it.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

S4L, why would they go to the trouble of arranging things as you suggest? Why not just not allow him on the show? You invent these scenarios from thin air and do everything you can to try and justify them.
