Love Is Blind: Habibi

This show is crazy. The men fly off the handle at the slightest sign of "disrespect" from "their" woman. Very controlling.

Most of the women are very conceited and self absorbed. The one called Noor is the worst. With her enhanced lips and crappy attitude it makes the show almost unwatchable. She touches her hair every damn second and I just can't with her.

I do like that they all stay in their own rooms and there is very little alcohol. That part is kind of refreshing. I'm only a few episodes in and will probably keep watching it only because it is like a train wreck and I just can't look away.

To be honest, this is not the best Love Is Blind Edition I've seen. I watched until the end because of the brand.

I can understand that cultures are different, but it still gives a very bad representation of what a woman is and should be. Between jealousy, egocentrism, support between men, some hatred between women, no real conversation or confrontation of ideas. The combination was not great.

Also, the modesty demonstrated by the couples is respectable, however it prevents the viewer from becoming attached to them and believing in their relationship. This is still understandable from a cultural perspective.

I still salute the very classy and extremely smart dancer as well as the fact that this edition brought a different tone and allowed us to know other traditions.

If these men are representative of Arab men, I would advise any sane woman to keep their distance.

I found the men on the show to be aggressive and entitled, often belittling women. One even stated that his wife should put her life in second place after his. Some justified their behaviour by saying, "that's how I was raised." The borderline jealousy they displayed is alarming.

They exhibit traits of unchecked anger, disrespect toward others, and controlling behaviour towards women, coupled with an inflated ego. They frequently spoke about God, but their actions didn't align with their words.

Unbelievable cultural differences in this version of Love Is Blind Habibi. Only saw 2 episodes so far ( so not considering this a spoiler but a precursor for a messy season to come) I predict the first couple matched won't last - we will see. Let's just say the man was way too controlling by moving way too fast making a "claim" on "his" woman to the "bros" that he has known for exactly 1 day (RED FLAG!) and telling them to cancel their date (if she picks them). Then the other guy who also likes her backs down out of "loyalty" to his bro? The whole concept goes down the tubes immediately - this is not about making friends or "loyal bros" but finding the best love connection. Which brings to the next point-the girl he claims clearly tells him she loves to dance from the beginning and he tells her "I don't like that" right from the get-go (RedFlag!). Then he moves fast and proposes (RED FLAG!), so she lets him know this and she succumbs to his pushing w/o insisting to see HER other date pick first! One note abt the show is that despite all the different regions and backgrounds, everyone speaks great English with no noticeable accents and whoever taught them did a great job.

I have watched every episode there is of Love is blind, from every country. I thought it would be interesting to see how different this would be. I have to say, that I started with a 1 star rating, because some of the men made me furious. At the end, I could see that this show empowered women, and give it a 3 star.

I am disappointed in how shallow some of them are. How can you test if love is blind, if you start talking about how you look, your prefered look etc?

This seems to be just an ordinary dating show, without the sense of commitment, not like the other Love is blind I have watched.

And some of the men are so jealous, and competitive. You cannot claim a woman after a short date or two!(or any time) You are not there to get best friends, but to find a potential life partner. The conversations were mostly shallow, but what do I know, this might be a culture thing.

And what about getting better soundproofing, so that the men can shout in their quarters, without the ladies hearing them?

Some of the men seems to be very aggressive, want to own their woman and control her. Not good.
