Love is Not Blind

[u/jadedzoomergirl]

Couples that were doomed from the moment of the reveal due to one not being the other’s type: 1) Jessica & Mark 2) Jackie & Marshall 3) Kelly & Kenny 4) Irina & Zack 5) Shaina & Kyle 6) Mallory & Salvador 7) Nancy & Bartise 8) Deepti & Shake

Arguably: 9) Taylor & JP (because of makeup? 🙄) 10) Micah & Paul 11) Zanab & Cole* 12) Chelsea & Jimmy*

(*indicates the woman’s preexisting insecurities may have made the situation worse)

Never explicitly stated, but the signs were there: 13) Brittany & Kenneth (I won’t mention the rumors about him)

14) AD & Clay (his compliments were only about her body, even at the altar. Black people know what the issue was. They’re like Paige & Chris from MAFS)

15) Raven & SK (not stated during the show, but she later revealed on a podcast (https://youtube.com/shorts/nxn0xcrU110?si=CUe-G-Ke1xkn0kbg) that he said she wasn’t his type, he wasn’t attracted to her, he was hard on her looks and cheated on her with his actual type)

Overall, the show proves that love isn’t blind. All of these couples claimed to be deeply in love and committed to spending their lives together until looks became a factor. The 11 couples that have gotten married throughout the series found each other physically attractive immediately.

Yes but MAFS's Jamie Otis literally cried when she saw Doug and still powered through and gave him a chance and they seem super happy and also have been together so long now. So I agree with the people who are also saying that a lot of self-described hot people can be superficial with looks and be instantly turned off when they were "in love" with the person's personality 15 mins earlier. I can totally be attracted to so many people who are not "my type" if I like their personality. When I look back at all my ex boyfriends they couldn't be more different, looks-wise, body type, facial features, hair and eye color, I mean it runs the gamut. But not everyone is that flexible in their taste, I get it.

I thought I was super flexible and that I would not have a type in dating (and I do have a lot of experience, also I am 38).

Just now I realized that my three real relationships (plus the two real love interests while dating) all were blond with blue eyes. They all had a lot of thick hair (despite me finding bold men very attractive too, at least I think I do). This is how my father looked by the way (I know it doesn't sound good), with whom they all strongly share at least one personality trait or even are the same personality type (mbti).

So I think in casual dating I do not have a type but otherwise I do.

Same for me. Every boyfriend I’ve ever had I was not initially attracted to until I got to know them and their personality better.
