Love is Blind Sweden

[Anonymous]

I have lots of thoughts but will save more specfiic ones to let people catch up (been binging while WFH today).

General observations:
- Lots of talk about being honest. Maybe this is a cultural difference? Doesn't feel as different as LIB Japan or Brazil but I guess that would make sense.
- Pleasantly surprised that there are many participants with different ethnic backgrounds (googled and 80% of the Swedish population are ethnically Swedish).
- More than one man talking about how shallow they are. I would guess this is true across cultures. At one engagement, I was pleasantly surprised that the guy seemed quite taken by the woman (whom I felt was quite average in looks).
- There is always one guy who is the extroverted a** but somehow they still end up engaged.

Ive watched the first 2 eps.

I thought a lot of the guys were shady and game players which annoyed me. Several did seem to grow slightly but I dont foresee much good with those self confessed shallow AHs.

I also didnt find very much diversity... there was the 1 colombian and the 1 black-ish bald guy? Everyone else was white AF. Just because someone is part russian or estonian and still white doesnt make me think diversity lol.

Sergio is a real shit of a human. A total player. Poor, sweet Amanda. I'm only one episode in, but kind of loving Lucas.

I am fascinated by Swedish language after watching this - some Swedish words are literally also English words. I expect this in Spanish and French because we're all coming from Romance languages, but hadn't expected it from Swedish language.

I know, I’m like, what does Amanda see in him?! Was he the only guy who claimed any religion at all?? She seems great.

I thought the English words just showed up because so many Swedes also speak English and sometimes use it for emphasis?

Most of the contestants look older than their listed age.

Probably because most black men in Sweden have zero problems finding a suitable partner.

Yes. In Nordic countries women want mixed black babies.

Agree about Sergio!!

And then to say he almost didn’t go on the honeymoon? Talk about red flags!

I am glad that woman turned Jonah down, she was definitely his second choice.

Interesting how the men were worried the woman would not be attractive enough, but not that she might not find HIM unattractive ?!

Gotta love that make ego!!!!

I might need to watch this part again. In the pods, it seemed like the woman was the one pushing their relationship and I almost thought she was going to propose. But then it felt like all of a sudden she had a change of heart and had to share her “insight” that he still liked Meira. I thought they had an understanding that while he was still getting over the rejection, he wanted to see what could develop with woman #2.

Sorry, Johan.

Interesting how some people just look for problems.

It is like they can’t be happy.

Spoke too soon. She does remind me of Shrek Princess Fiona.
