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 ;-)!

I actually think they might work out okay.(Kelly and Steve) I think they kind of didn't work the first because she was being a little too pushy about taking profiles down and he got a little freaked, they seemed to always get a long great when they were together so I don't think it was a personality thing when they stopped seeing each other.

I thought that last girl, the opera singer, she was soooo pushy, talking about her breasts on the first date and stuff, that one guy that went back to her place was like, how the heck do I get out of here. She was very agressive.

Mitch said that she didn't seem to be emotionally invested, maybe what we didn't see was her being selfish. I don't know, they seemed to get along great, maybe they had a time where he wanted to talk and she kind of blew him off. I just felt his reasoning her not be emotionally supportive was an odd thing, so who knows what we "didn't" see on TV that got him to that conclusion.

What about that date, that threw a hissy fit at the bar because he wanted to keep the date going and after the 3rd time of him asking she finally just said she didn't feel a connection and he was pissed. Then she gives him money and he says "I don't want your pity money" and stormed out of the bar...P Y S C H O

But I have to agree with SP on her, she had this hot picture of her in a bikini and she didn't look as good in person as she did in that shot.

She was aggressive because she only wanted sex from those guys, not a relationship (she refered to one-nighters at one point). If you just want sex, I think proper etiquette says it's okay to talk about your breasts on the first date. LOL. I got the impression she had a good rate of success for her efforts.

I thought she was even too pushy for just wanting sex though, I understood that she was in it for sex, but she even seemed more aggressive for just that. LOL

and really I didn't find her all that attractive. That guy anthony she went out with I felt like screaming come to massachusetts anthony, I'd love to meet a guy that didn't want to lay me down the first night.

I think it was all explained when she said she was dominatrix (sp?) for a while. Not too many women could just do that for fun. She was strange.

She kind of had a horse face in my opinion....

Gotta pipe in on this discussion...

I was also dissappointed with the ending. There was one girl at the very beginning that got dumped right off the bat (she was cute, with kind of an odd nose). They never did go back to her. Also the one that the guy asked her if she needed some lovin! That cracked me up.

Maryam's boyfriend sounded foreign, so dating an american girl is probably a big thing for him and he doesn't have a clue. Maybe he will watch a rerun of it.

As for the South Dakota chick...only comment there...she ain't right! I also think she is very jealous of what her sister has.

The S&M chick was scary as he** and I don't blame that guy for wanting to get out of there.

I kinda felt sorry for the guy on the 20 minute date that was enjoying himself. What's up with 20 minutes? I totally agree, keep it short, but 20 minutes? I mean, I could see her wanting to leave after 20 minutes with the suit guy, but she saw a picture of the 2nd guy and he was kinda pretty to look at. Maybe my daughter was talking to me at that time (I hate when she does that) and I didnt' notice, but I didn't see a whole lot wrong with him. And I'll say it again, he was kinda pretty to look at.

I figure the hot shot with the boat wasn't getting any from anybody and when the school teacher chick called him up he thought he might could tap that after a little more wining and dining. He just LOOKS fake to me for some reason. Can't quite put my finger on it.

And what was up with Mitch buying a ring for Sonja? Maybe because she accepted it, it scared him off. Maybe he was testing her with it. And would you wear a sweater with a hole in it when you first meet someone? I don't care if it was her favorite, that was just wrong.

The yoga instructor, bless her heart.....a third date like that would be pure torture!

Yes, I hate to see this show end because it was entertaining but also because you guys had such lively discussions about it.

>>>What's up with 20 minutes? I totally agree, keep it short, but 20 minutes?<<<

Did anyone notice at the beginning of the show she had a quick date with another guy (this was before the date with the guy where she didn't get his picture), this guy was also cute... at the end of that first date she was begging for him to stay and he kept saying well I would like to go and she was saying no but I really wanted to spend more time with you but then he left and she was disappointed. I wonder if her reaction to the guy later was some kind of payback, revenge to someone else because she couldn't hurt the other guy. Whatever the reason, it was strange.

Either my daughter was talking to me at that point or I was in the kitchen smoking....I MISSED THAT! They needed to bring her in at the start of the series.....I think she would livened up the show more than Aimee!
