Men Love 5-foot Ballerina Laura’s Flexible Body 😏 | First Dates New Zealand

[@slevinlindsay3624]

Even though she wasn't interested, she was really sweet about it and treated him with respect and dignity - basically, like a human.

[@MamawithAtude-ib4em]

He is such a gentle soul & so sweet.

[@karenstieglitz3443]

Once again, the producers ethically erred. The young lady had already said that she did not see the relationship going in a romantic direction. It was unkind to put further pressure on her, and leave him open to further rejection, by asking if they'd like to go for coffee. They are adults. They were entirely capable of taking things further, had they wanted to. In addition, pairing people based on their height similarity alone is imbecilic. She is an artist. He is a scientist. Unless either expressed interest in the other sphere, this pairing is moronic.

[@JamesCraigWhoop]

I could tell right away she was not attracted to him. Instead she took a more delicate approach to not ruin his confidence.

[@LoloO42]

Agreed! There was something cruel here.

[@grinchoi1]

exactly..thankfully she was sweet and respectful but sometimes i wonder if they're actually looking to help people and match them up or just make interesting tv

He looks exactly how you would imagine a data scientist to look

[@FreeSpirit47]

Interesting. I'm sincerely asking what is a data scientist supposed to look like? A close friend of mine is married to a data scientist. The guy is a total package! He's clearly brilliant as a scientist, very well mannered, kind, easy going. He's also tall with a slim, muscular build. Very attractive. People have said of him that he looks very similar to the late actor, Christopher Reeves. My friend had her heart broken quite harshly, swore off dating ever again. Our close-knit group of friends were so happy when she met her future husband. He was persisted until she agreed to a date with him. She was scared, then, took the chance. They married 2 years after that. They are both just what they each needed.

[@cbeautifulworld11]

[@nextpage3535]

She's a caring girl ... She had to carry their conversation almost alone, and she did it, just like cleaning and cooking for her previous partner. The boy was sweet too, but ... painfully shy. I don't think there is a girl out there, who is able to bring out the MAN in him.

[@Skeezer66]

FDNZ was doing so well! Sigh. They put this date together because of their size, and NOTHING ELSE. He should have been matched up with someone at his socializing level. He's never really dated, she's had relationships! Lazy matching.

[@sigma8995]

Unfortunately for him, he does have bad genetics stacked against him. But he should try to look max as much ash e can if he wants to land a girl. What's more important is how he present himself. It will come with experience and success.

[@Berighteousone]

He might be Autistic and needs alot of guidance.

He has a lot going for him: He's smart, he's considerate, he's stable. He will find the right one who highly values those traits.

[@dtbristol]

Admitting that you've never had a girlfriend, signals to a woman that other women don't find you desirable. She was way out of his league, regardless. A poor match.

No one is out of anyone else's league. They were both smart, gracious and deserving of partners. They just were not compatible.

@@karenstieglitz3443 EXACTLY. When someone says that it's always to do with appearance, but I've seen many "different league" couples with have large families or longer relationships than those in "the same league"

[@Ou8y2k2]

​@@karenstieglitz3443 That is clearly delusional, if you've ever dated online. Attraction is based on appearance, finances, and flirtatious humor. But humor is only effective if given a chance with the first two. Otherwise, _you're_ out of his league. Women don't understand who they don't consider: about 80% of men. Watch nearly all of these _First Dates_ videos and see who rejects whom.

[@sigma8995]

Very true. In the world of dating, women do like "preselected" men. Many women find a man who wears a wedding more desirable because of this. They know it's an indicator that there's something good about this guy that another woman has taken him.

[@JamesCraigWhoop]

HORRIBLE MATCHUP once again. Stats show women do the majority of the turning down on this show, so the men have more of the uphill climb. If it were me, definitely would save some cash and go halfs. Saves her the guilt as well

not every man is a dominant alpha male type. Some of us are softly spoken, sometimes shy, easy going and in touch with our feelings. Some women are 100% into men a little more gentle. Plus, how horrible to pretend to be tough and manly and loud when we're not.

I've watched a few of these videos now but I won't subscribe. They are deliberately matching people who might make good TV, without one care at all of whether they will match as dates. Even 30 years ago the formula was the same for TV's Blind Date in the UK, which was subsequently found out to be cheating on a big scale. I won't be watching any more of this trash.
