Are Jamie’s Jokes Too Dirty? | First Dates New Zealand

[@craigreeves5465]

They have a knack for finding THE most insufferable people for this show. It's actually pretty amazing. Their casting people are super talented!

[@Georgie14]

She’s so into herself it’s nauseating and she’s not that hot. Humble goes a long way sweetheart.

[@ppumpkin3282]

At least she didn't talk about herself. She spent a lot of time trying to look good.

[@LoloO42]

Elegance is effortless. She's not that. Why does she keep posing? I don't think she needs to worry about folks perceiving her as posh. 😆 Picking her teeth with her nails at the table was a classy move, too.

[@aleonflux1138]

Agreed, her demeanour seemed unnatural and pretentious.

[@CKD3332]

She is way too pretentious. No way.

[@sigma8995]

Gents, this response at 8:45 is NOT what you want to see when dating a girl. It's the response of a girl who has low interest level in you. She should have a burning desire and say, "DEFINITELY!" In the end, she reveals her low interest again with the hesitation. Although she says yes, her unspoken language says no. Listen to the latter. In situations like this, the guy just need to step it up and next the girl. Find another one to date to save him time, heartache and potential trouble down the line.

[@aron.gortman]

Picking her teeth and telling her she had something in her teeth. He is dry .. and she wasnt interested in him st all Wonder if these are paid acfors?? So untral

[@tracyleekley1353]

Interesting that so many of the comments noticed Arna was posing, it was so obvious & weird & Jamie's nasty jokes are not for anyone but maybe his younger brother. Arna's need for attention on camera is embarrassing. Can'r believe she opted to go on a 2nd date w/ him.

[@meredithr9824]

I noticed that but, do you think she's masking?

[@anneedrupt11]

He's creepy and she gives me the ick feeling🤮

[@kaputfretudy]

She was a generous listener, showed interest in him, and I thought sincere and quite lovely. She has a few old world graces, which are probably from her family culture, and I don’t think should be interpreted as phony by commenters. Not surprised he found love at work, surrounded by so many women!

[@CarolineMosesComedy]

I see a lot of similarities in myself with the guy. I tend to have major trouble with blurting out the first thing that comes to my mind, which is often a crude joke, and I also have trouble identifying the time and place for said jokes. I hope to take this as a learning opportunity.

[@NancyFoshee-cl1rl]

He's obviously heard that women like funny blokes, but he's trying too hard. Seems like a nice fella, though. She's clearly very self-absorbed.

[@leigh7507]

Off topic - but is that a wig?

[@amoralasfragancias9048]

a covering for the head made of real or artificial hair, typically worn by people for adornment or by people trying to conceal their baldness or in England by judges and barristers in courts of law.

[@jules-bz5vc]

Would you like another date ? EXCELLENT!

[@darkerbinding6933]

Arna, this is a lesson in "you snooze, you lose". Too often women think they are in the driver's seat but fail to realize that good men are in high demand. Better luck next time... don't pause.

[@jay-lm4we]

Good men? The poor chat is a few sandwiches short of a picnic

[@robertgelblum5154]

When are we going to see a successful First Date New Zealand episode again? Really, I am getting quite frustrated by the number of episodes lately that are duds in the end, that don't lead anywhere! Can't the show hire a professional matchmaker who can accurately match compatible people, who are both genuinely looking for a serious relationship? Is it really that difficult to do? Or is the problem fundamentally that this is at its core a reality TV show whose main (or sole?) purpose is entertainment and high ratings? (Side note: I found the woman to be very hot in her tight dress and all dolled up with her hair and makeup. I may have to emigrate to New Zealand from Canada, if all the kiwi women look at least this good! The guy was ok, with a sense of humour that probably puts off a lot of people, but can be a total winner with someone who appreciates his jokes.)

[@MaverickLee11]

its because negativity sells sadly and people want to be entertained

[@fatcatontario]

After seeing quite a few of these dates and based on my experience it is safe to assume that if a man likes you he will insist on paying. Anyone who wants to split are not interested. As I've thought.

[@moeezS]

Disagree. Full pay or splitting isn't an indicator of interest to me. I split with my wife when it was dinner dates, and fully paid when it was coffee dates. Some people like conservative gender roles, so they want a man to fully pay but doesn't mean they're into the guy necessarily. But if you're progressive and believe in gender equality, you will be fine with splitting.

[@unnadud9114]

she doesn't have blue eyes

[@sparra3819]

In terms of looks, I found them to be a really good match. I rather agree, she could turn down the posing, but it does match her flirty personality. And, well, he ruined dessert, just saying..

At least they were both over 22! That said, is she REALLY only a bartender? The way she posed, and 'dropped her napkin', it felt like she's used to using her looks to get attention, maybe a stripper? There are people who 'frown' on that, so I can understand her not telling. Were they a match? LMAO!!!! Of course not!!
