Blind date, and elimidate

[bootlegger]

Anyone ever watch these shows?

I watched one over at a friends house last night, (I don't have a TV).

I predicted the winner of elimidate, much to his suprise.

It was a classic nice guy vs jerk. The nice guy was kissing ass, telling her he would drive an hour to see her (keep in mind they just met).
The jerk said, "I'm going to do my own thing, if you wanna come along thats fine".


The girl picked the jerk.


I think these shows might be a good way for some guys to learn. thoughts

I rarely watch it when it's 4 girls pining over a guy (what are those like), but the 4 guys pining over a girl is just AFC stinking mess everywhere. Sometimes it's 4 AFCs and it's just terrible enough that I can't bother watching.

Blind Date is even worse, if that's even possible. 9 times out of 10 I see an AFC guy (I mean who else besides AFCs would sign up for these things?) being a total idiot to the girl, turning her off and then thinking he's top dog. Yay

 

[rhsarrow17]

yes, rarely do I see a man's demeanor worth learning from on these shows. I just wish I could be on elimidate ;D

I only watch if the girls are real good looking. Or if there is a "Date From Hell". These shows usually show you what not to do on a date.

those shows are unreal....Ive never had a date go anything close to what those shows are like.

I think those shows are a testament to how true the DJ bible is about women. Every time I see a guy on that show do something wrong or lose a girls interest it is because he is acting like an AFC. Very few of these guys know how to play it cool They usually end up asking stupid AFC questions like;

"Are you interested?", "What do you think about me?", "Do you think I'm attractive?", "would you go out with me again?" etc..

Most of the women are totaly ****ed up in the head as well. I would next most of them just for the way they looked.

The other night I saw a show with a girl who told the guy she was a feminist. She also said that she is usually the one that has to have things go her way. The strange thing is the guy sat there and took this **** from her. I really can't understand how a feminist can expect a good guy to like her. They want a submissive man, but they don't find that attractive.

Ain't THAT the truth.

I like watching that show, it puts dating psychology within a very short time slot.

In all situations Elimidate seems to pick out ONE person out of FOUR that is not a good match because it'll make it easier for the dater to take that person out in first round.

For the Guy Dater: He gets to choose the next 3 women. He will most likely choose the one that is most aggressive/sexual with him than the others.

For the Girl Dater: It's the same thing.

Summary: If there's mutual attraction. You must be aggressive/sexual. Forget the romance stuff, that's just maintenance. Act on instinct.

The order of level of entertainment, and learning value from the shows.....

BlindDate > 5th Wheel > Elimidate > Extreme Dating.

I really like 5th Wheel cuz there is usually some action goin on right away. It's more into the quick pickups as opposed to actually building a lot of chemistry with a girl, like BlindDate.

Agree.

Blind date - is the most realistic of the bunch, After learning the Don Juan bible I can honestly say I predict more then 90% of the outcome of a date whether it was success or a rejection.

5th wheel- If the 5th wheel is a guy, he is usually an Alpha male, which gives a good insight how to behave. If its a girl, she is usually a bombshell and most of the other guys act AFC's around her and lose.

Elimidate - don't bother watching it if its 4 girls competing for a guy. Those girls compete to win, even if they don't like the guy. Most of the girls on that show looks like they were plucked from the street while standing underneath a lamp post (I will let you figure out why)

Extreme Dating - Don't bother watching its worthless.

This is exactly why I watch those shows, you basically see every AFC move in the book. Reading it in The Bible is one thing, but when you can watch an AFC screw himself and even predict it, you get a better understanding why the rules of DJism is definitely the way to go.

I used to love watching 4 girls + a guy elimidates, but now I realize i was out of my mind. It is just so contrived, and the constant bickering from the girls is just stupid. I remember one time the guy said "Now...I'd like you girls to show me how you would seduce me" lol. Half the time they aren't even interested in the guy, they are just interested in getting chosen to boost their egos.

The only realistic one is Blind Date. Plus they pretty much point out every single thing that the guy does wrong. It's also the funniest.

I once saw this total AFC on Blind Date that when he first met the girl, he volunterred to carry her purse which couldn't have weighed more than 8 ounces. It was the funniest thing I ever saw. He also acted extremely nice and he couldn't think of anything interesting at all to say. The strange thing is I saw the same exact guy on MTV's Wanna Come Inside and he was supposed to be a dating expert helping out an AFC

Not too familiar with the others but I've seen Blind Date late at night. I watch it just to remind myself what not to do. I can easily ignore the fact that the dates and conversations are unrealistic. The one thing you do not talk about on a date is dating (i.e. what do you look for in a woman/man? What is your idea of a romantic evening, blah blah blah...).

I've heard this before. Why is it a bad idea to ask a woman what she looks for in a man? Does it sound too much like you are looking for approval?

It's a bad idea for that reason specifically, you are hoping that you are the man she is looking for. You should have the mindset that you are already the man she is looking for and you should be qualifying her, to make sure that she is up to your standards. Besides her being on the date with you already assumes she's interested, so asking a question like that is pointless and sends the wrong message.

All of this is true. Drill this into your head; YOU SHOULD BE QUALIFYING HER, YOU SHOULD BE QUALIFYING HER, YOU SHOULD BE QUALIFYING HER...
