You would think they'd have learned their lesson with the Marry a Millionaire fiasco.

In Alaska you don't lose your woman, you just lose your turn.

[Slyfox]

This would've made a better sit com.

[gaijin]

men shying from marriage out of fear that they would take a financial beating if the marriage failed as well as lose much contact with their children

Bingo.

Why have the responsibilities of marriage, with none of the priveleges? Especially if women think the only way they can be taken seriously by men is to act in a masculine manner....

A question for women:

How many women want to date a man who acts like a WOMAN....?

[Post Toasties]

Now, I doubt that the older women wanted younger men for much besides besides sex, anyway.

[discostu]

Wait now. Sissie found something real, she moved up to Alaska after everybody met the parents (she got struck with love at first sight, avoided the other men and by episode 3 was looking at the local want ads). Andrea was just being stupid, her man said multiple times he didn't think it would work out (and the rules Fox cooked up put all the power with the woman, IMHO she should have switched to Patrick who was really cool and actually liked her, instead she stuck with Christian who looked like a wuss and complained about her constantly). I felt bad for the other blonde who followed a similar path as Sissie but it led no where. Both the brunettes were just stupid form the start. The skinny was just a little tramp and I seriously doubt she was looking for anything close to permanent. Cece fell for the guy who had seirous doubts about even being on the show and wouldn't stop talking about him after she kicked him off.

As for the milk and cow thing every time I hear it that phrase gets stupider. Women like sex too, you could as easily turn the phrase around. And really, if all either member is interested in is sex then you're not going to get better results by holding out, you'll just get rid of the person faster which might or might not be desirable, but you're not going to see some miraculous conversion. Some people enter into relationships looking for fun, some are looking for something deep and meaningful; as long as both people have the same desire going in things usually work out pretty well.

I love these Fox shows. I marvel at what kind of idiot would put their love life on Fox, and the great part is that because they're stupid they're relationships are almost always hideous torture. And frankly it's fun to watch stupid people screw themselves up. Each episode is its own little treatise on the wheel of karma, fun stuff.

The women never seemed to understand that by giving their all prior to marriage that they were not attracting the men!

Just like the TV show Sex in the City, where the women there end up having sex with just about every guy they meet. Those guys can be around the women when they want, they need make no serious or formal commitment, and they can have sex whenever they want. Then, in every show, the women decry the fact that there are no men willing to commit to marriage. Surprise, surprise!

If I were a young woman, I would demand a refund from Betty Freidan, Kate Millett, and Gloria Steinem.

Who would want their daughter to grow up like Betty Freidan or Gloria Steinem?

[ivoteright]

Can you spell d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-i-o-n? These women sacrificed all pride in order to appear on national television and risk being rejected.

I'm ashamed to say I watched this at midnight last night, and stayed awake for its entirety. It was apparent to me that all suitors and prospective brides were more impressed by themselves than by each other. No one that selfish is an ideal spouse, no matter how good they look.

[Jhoffa_]

The women were very sincere, but the young men were using them.

ROFL..

You can just imagine how the conversation went with their airheaded "potential husbands":

"The weather has been nice for this time of year and you've got such big, wonderful boobs."

"You say the sweetest things, dear.."

LOL! LOL!

Recently a "Husband Shopping Center" opened in Dallas, where women could go to choose a husband from among many men.  It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors.  The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place never to return.

A couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men.  First floor, the door had a sign saying "These men have jobs and love kids."  The women read the sign and say, "Well, that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they go.

Second floor says "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking." Hmmm, say the girls. But, I wonder what's further up?

Third floor: "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework." Wow! say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up! And up they go.

Fourth floor: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak."  Oh, mercy me.  But just think!  What must be awaiting us further on!

So up to the fifth floor they go. The sign on that door said, "This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are impossible to please.  Goodbye."

Rupert Murdoch is the Anti-Christ bump,

[redhead]

I'm not surprised this was such a fiasco. I snapped up the last really good available man in Alaska in 1972. Tough luck, ladies!

[Don Myers]

They would have done better trying to make the men commit to a shack-up job. Even the guys in Alaska know better than to marry them.

[Valin]

Well lets see I'm a young man/woman and I'm going to go a nationally televised show in the hopes of finding a husband/wife.
Now what's wrong with this picture?
And why do the words "Ken and Barbie" pop into my head?
