Harmonie is interesting, and I’m wondering if she’ll actually settle down. She says she wants to, but I think she likes the party lifestyle too much.

That sounds like a fun show. Jews usually do really well in marriage department. Almost every US president has a jewish son/daughter in-law. Most US jews are well off and good looking so makes sense.

Holy sweeping generalizations, Batman! I'm a US jew who is both poor and ugly.

LOL! Well, I’ll admit that if all the Jewish stereotype responses I expected when I saw this post, this was about as inoffensive as could be expected. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so clearly you’re gorgeous. And also well off.

Factually speaking, I think only Trump and Clinton have Jewish in-laws?

Well, to be fair, Barack Obama's girls aren't married yet, so it could still happen for them.

Agree. I want us to be friends. She seemed like a good coach for the couples.

Though some of these people needed to figure out that appearance attraction are important but not the MOST important. Jeez.

It was pretty disappointing that the show didn’t give us any closure with the clients. It just sort of stopped. We needed 3-4 more episodes.

I wish they would have found some more middle of the road types so maybe we would see an actual match that worked.

Extremely attractive ? Hyperbolic much ? I know some of you insist on living in a everybody-gets-a-trophy society but damn ! Slow down . At best, they're average and that's with all the hairbrushing , makeup and what not. 'Extremely attractive' they're not.

NP and I'm only a couple of episodes in but I think Cindy, Miami Dani & Adi are all really beautiful. The guys are a bit less impressive but David (in Miami) has certain angles where he looks Liev Shrieber-ish.

Unsurprisingly, the two that are most obsessed with having arm candy significant others (Harmonie & Ori) are the least attractive.

The one guy who is a musician was totally gay, right?.... I mean he didn't say it but that is the vibe I was definitely getting

I get where you are coming from, and TBH, I had similar fleeting thoughts, but we need to stop assuming that any man who is not "stereotypically masculine" is automatically gay.

A lot of the folks on this show were not naturally suited to heterosexuality.

Isn't it stereotyping and wrong to call someone who is not self identifying as gay, gay? It feels homophobic.

I don't think it is a homophobic response (DP here) but I do think it is an observation that could well be applied to several of the people on the show.

What's your basis for that statement? Vocal tones? Hand motions? Fashion? This gay speculation feels very outdated to me. People come in all forms, both gay and straight. To say there is a "natural" way for straight people to act is very narrow minded.

The simple fact that they were not attracted to people of the opposite sex.

Who do you think fits the bill? Genuinely curious, not snark.

This is how I feel too. And a lot of this "he's gay!" happens on DCUM, and it's homophobic and should be deleted.

Pointing out that someone might be gay is not inherently homophobic, but assuming that it is a homophobic response, i.e. an insult actually makes YOU look like the homophobe.
