"Love Is Blind": Why Common Interests Aren't Enough For A Long-Lasting Relationship
Is love blind? That’s the question that Netflix’s new hit show is supposedly trying to answer. Love Is Blind, a new reality show that has taken the world by storm, sequesters fifteen men and fifteen women from each other and puts them in windowless pods where they talk…without ever seeing one another. In less than two weeks, they have to decide if they are soulmates and get engaged.
After this first step, the couples who have gotten engaged travel to an exotic locale to find out if they have physical chemistry (and yes, that does generally mean intimately). Then they head back to the real world where they live together, meet each other’s families, and eventually walk down the aisle in front of the people they know and love – only to say “I do” or “I don’t.”
