Love is Blind: Sverige

I didn't think this was that bad. The show is about proving if Love is Blind. It's an experiment. If all the people from this series that are married were not physically attracted to their partner when they first met, they wouldn't be with them. I don't think Love is blind. It feels like it for some of them because they are actually attracted to their partner.

At the end of the day, I was just happy to see quite a few couples getting married, staying together and being happy.

I tried watching the Japan one but it was just too slow for me. And the Brazil one was too chaotic for me. I thought this was a good pace.

As a Swede, it is interesting to see the comments about the looks on the people in the show. I think (and all I have spoken to) they are not at all cast for their looks, they look very average for Sweden, like 5/10. However, are we more looks and attraction focused than other nations, perhaps we are without me having understood it.

Sex is something that happens quick in a dating situation and perhaps that is why this part is profound early on also here in this show, without it working there getting married is not on the table.

I think the series is well constructed and exciting to see the twist and turns in each relationship.

Actually.... I had hoped that both sexes were more evolved.

The male/female roles seemed less developed than their counterparts here in the US Big City(s)

But then it seems these shows rely on a different kind of participant-more fragile, vulnerable, game players...

One older game playing guy I had to wonder if he was looking for a damaged woman he could emotionally take advantage of or prove something w/ a TV apperance. This dude,, I thought, knew how to manipulate a less "worldly" woman- a woman one who was religious, more genuine, mature & had a mature focus on long term relationships and wanted a certain type of relationship & man. I think the slimy man also wanted same but in no way could he get there, esp at age 47/48. He needed long term therapy not a relationship.

After watching *Love is Blind: Sweden*, it's clear that the experiment didn't quite succeed in proving that love can transcend appearances. Unlike its predecessors, this version of the show seemed to emphasize just how much physical attraction still plays a role in modern dating, even when emotional connections are strong.

Having seen *Love is Blind* in Brazil, Mexico, the UK, Japan, and the U. S., I can confidently say that this is the worst one yet when it comes to superficiality. The number of couples who found themselves repelled by their partners upon meeting face-to-face was startling. The immediate distaste and inability to look beyond physical appearances were both disheartening and, frankly, grotesque. This installment of *Love is Blind* highlighted how difficult it is for some individuals to move past superficial judgments, despite having formed deep emotional bonds in the pods.

It was especially heartbreaking to watch those who were genuinely invested in the experiment and ready to love unconditionally, only to be met with superficial and judgmental partners who seemed to prove that, at least in Sweden, love might not be as blind as we hoped.

Overall, this series fell short of the show's intended premise, leaving viewers with a bitter taste and a reminder that the power of looks still reigns supreme for many. In the end, *Love is Blind: Sweden* may have done more to reinforce stereotypes than to break them, making it a disappointing chapter in an otherwise intriguing franchise.

As a Swede, I start to ask the question: do you need to be married to love each other? Or is this another American reality show that sets the standards for what love is?

If you haven't seen 'Love Is Blind,' well, you haven't missed anything except for all the drama. The concept is very interesting, but the show is really focused on contestants getting married, and it bothers me because it's very 'osvenskt.'

Something I find bothersome is letting the participants be handed over by their mother or father. The concept originates from an old tradition where women were considered minors and had a guardian. Therefore, it's a concept that is very old and un-Swedish.
