Advice for Women

When I first started reading this Los Angeles Times story about a new dating reality show featuring plus-sized contestants, I was pleased. I liked this. I liked the pictures they showed of plus-sized yet attractive people. I liked the way the bachelor, Luke Conley, was portrayed. The producers posted a Craigslist ad searching for a full-figured girl, and Conley responded with “Sugar, look no further. I am the man for you!”

Cute, right?

But as soon as the cameras started rolling, things got ugly. In one sequence, Conley actually makes out with five women, one right after another, at a spa.

Gross.

I know this is “reality TV” and everything’s about ratings … I just wish they didn’t keep coming up with shows that seem to imply that all men are pigs and all women are desperate.
