I was unsatisfied with the ending...I hoped they would at least do a recap of all of the women.

It was also a letdown to see who had made a connection--none of the women I considered relatively normal, of course. I know it's a small sampling but the message seems to be, guys don't want relatively normal, well-adjusted women!

CGUN, I thought of you when that one woman at the beginning had the date with the guy she hadn't seen a picture of...and she's like, never again, just like you ;-)!

You have all these wonderful dates...he isn't the hottest guy.....not that it matters...you fall for him and the....HE DUMPS YOU! I don't know why he dumped her? He seemed so interested in her. The only thing that came to my mind was commitmentphobe! Classic.

AGree 100%. He's not the hottest guy but you give him a chance, he grows on you and dumps you - classic. Now, most would say "oh commitment phobic" is overused that is why I'm asking - is this the case?

Keep in mind - most people put the best shot of them on line - even that chick in the bikini looked better in her photo than real life.

Mitch said that? I don't remember him saying that. I remember Sonja saying that he told her he needed more "emotional support", which sounded to me like a totally ridiculous excuse given that they'd been dating for, what, a few weeks? It couldn't be more than that because Valentine's Day was like their 3rd or 4th date, I think, and when she went to the psychic he gave a February date for the tape, right?

That *is* a strange dream, LOL!

I also identified with this one big-time. So many times I've started dating a guy who's way more into me than I am into him, and as soon as I start getting attached, wham! Welcome to Dumpsville, Population Me.

I agree with the other poster who said the timeline was confusing. I think Kelly said she and Yacht Boy had been apart for a year(?) before she called him to see if he wanted to try again.
And Amy is just hopeless and annoying.
I almost fell off the sofa when they said Maryam is in a relationship. She's about as coherent as a crackhead. Makes me wonder about the dude she ended up with.

I don’t remember the exact wording but yes he said that – that is why I was curious of your theory on it. Is he a commitment phobic? Yes, a lot to expect after a few weeks ey?

Could be...or really, really insecure, so he did the "pre-emptive" dump...on the theory that she would eventually dump him so why not beat her to the punch.

ITA about Maryam...that why I thought the comment I posted from the other board about her guy not understanding half of what she says was so funny.

And also about Amy--I erupted into horrified laughter when she grabbed that guy and kissed him!

It's no shock that Amy STILL hasn't found anyone, the woman doesn't know WHAT she wants. *sigh*

I couldn't believe that woman going out with that bore Mike kept going on dates with him, why didn't she just speak up?

And then she looked completely bored and he's talking to the camera as if they have this great connection and I'm thinking is he on the same date as her because she looks like she's going to fall asleep in her soup.

Anyhow, I was on vacation this week, what a week, we went to Falmouth for the week and it was just gorgeous, we stayed at a place 10 steps from the beach, couldn't have asked for nicer weather and I have a great tan going. But managed to get Hooking up in last night. LOL
