BACK in the day it began with a TV show called, what else.......the dating game. There were 3 potential suitors and one girl. There was a partion between the 3 eligible batchelors and the chic. The female would ask a series of lame questions and the one with the coolest answers would win a date. Interesting note-some famous people were on the show, including the legendary MIKE TYSON.
In the late 80's Chuck Wollery had us returning to dating in front of America in 2 and 2. This time they allowed the audiece to vote who the contestant should go on a date with electronically. When dates did not click made for good TV.
Almost a decade later, TV brought us Roger Lodge's Blind Date, elimidate, and a few other juicy Jerry Springer like entertainment shows. The emphasis here were the dates that did not get along.
The 2000's gave birth to Reality SHOWS where viewers could see inside the life of average joes seeking romance. (who wants to marry a millionaire, outback Jack, the batchelor, beauty & the geek, etc)
A few years later-continued the previous years trend, only this time offered some tips and plausible scenarios. The Keys to the VIP room, The Pickup Artirt, Can't get a date,confessions of a matchmaker just to name a few.
Popular shows exploited the sedction community into the limelight. CSI MIAMI, THE MENTALIST dedicated a whole episode to seducing women. Movies also jumped on board the seduction popularity as depicted in bigscreen movies like: Magnolia, Hitch, He's just not that into you, etc. Look for this trend to continue with major production company doing an adaptation of other popular trendy seduction gurus.
Today we see viewers tuning in via the Net with popular sites like YOUTUBE to see live pickups, get tips, watch their favorite guru and even post their comments.
