I’m all for interracial love, but even I’m like “hmmm…no” “not today” “maybe not even ever” sometimes with guys of different ethnic or racial background. And it just makes minorities seem pathetic and desperate (even if it was not intended to be) by placing a particular group on a pedestal. >If we don’t expect that of people who we share the same ethnic or racial background with, why do we expect that from other people of a different ethnic or racial background. If he went all supremacist then I will be outraged, but I’m not going to want to force some individual to date me.* *Now if the gay guy of another race is physically hostile to me while turning me down then I will be outraged. We will feel more inclined to date guys who have the same ethnic or racial background as we do. I will feel “all in my feelings” for like a moment, but I wouldn’t feel outrage or demeaned. Not if another gay guy of another ethnic or racial background does not like me. I as a black gay man will feel much more offended if another black man would not want to go out with me. Their intent for the outrage seems suspicious to me.
“Because I think that would just lose the credibility of the show, and potentially the trust of the audience.” The Bachelor franchise might know a thing or two about that, too.What is the real intent behind this though? Because I feel like those same individual gay men who complain about “sexual” racism from other gay guys of another race, who may not find them interesting as an individual, are the same ones who will not even consider dating a gay guy of their own race. “We weren’t trying to create crazy, Champagne-in-the-face reality-show moments, which are so outrageous and unbelievable,” Culvenor said. He recalled daters asking what they should do as they began their first date-and his response was, “Do what you do on a normal first date.” The daters themselves had no information about their five matches, all of whom Culvenor said had been selected because they seemed like people a single would plausibly come across in their real-life dating orbit. Going into each date, Culvenor said, producers knew a great deal about each participant-their backstory, their desires, their passions-but the goal was to proceed with a light touch. “We certainly wanted the idea of the second date to pay off for the audience,” Culvenor said, “but we didn’t want to be so prescriptive, to I guess limit our daters into what they truly and honestly wanted to do.”
Some daters end an episode with multiple phone numbers others decide not to go on a second date with anyone. That’s probably also why the “rules” on this show are clearly more lax than they are on most of its contemporaries. This was really, what we’re attempting to capture is an honest look at what the experience of dating is like.” “This wasn’t about spending two months living in a house together trying to find your soulmate to propose to. “I think the other thing that we did when we were casting is, we’re very honest with the cast about the sort of show that we were wanting to make,” Culvenor added. This was really just an honest snapshot of what that experience is like. This isn’t a quest to find necessarily the love of your life, who you’re going to marry. “And that’s really what we wanted to capture. “Dating has turned into a bit of a kaleidoscope of personalities, faces, experiences,” Culvenor said. And the series, appropriately enough, debuts on February 14. The idea is to mimic a dating environment characterized by a constant search for the next best thing, enabled by an ever-expanding roster of apps. In the end, the main dater shows up for a second encounter-with just one of their matches. Their format is simple: each episode runs for about 25 minutes and follows an eligible bachelor/ette on five blind dates. Instead, Culvenor and fellow executive producers Paul Franklin and Alycia Rossiter set out to capture an authentic snapshot of modern dating. Netflix announced a new dating show, Sexy Beats on June 23, 2021, and this show is designed to test participants ability to fall in love with someones personality before seeing their appearance. And although executive producer Chris Culvenor never directly mentioned The Bachelor by name during a recent interview, there was little question which program he was referring to when he said that in this new show, he and his fellow E.P.s “didn’t just want to retread a lot of the things that, let’s call them traditional or older dating shows, tend to do.” There are no heaps of roses no tightly grasped Champagne flutes no sequined gowns. Netflix’s new dating series, Dating Around, does not take place in a mansion.
