Love Is Blind: Habibi

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.

I really want this show canceled and discontinued because it's traumatizing and offensive to watch women being manipulated and controlled. There is continuous disrespect towards the women. I cried for most of the show and it will continue to haunt me for awhile. The producers should be held accountable for choosing bad characters who are not there for a loving healthy and supportive marriage. Why would they not choose more good natured people for this show. It's unusual. I've never seen a reality show so dysfunctional. This is a show about love and marriage. Manipulation, control and emotional abusive is the opposite of love.

I love the fact it's so different from other LIB shows. Mostly the fact that their isn't a lot of sexual innuendos. You didn't see any of the girls in their bathing suits while on vacation. They focused more on them as actual people versus just the sexual tension that may have existed between them. I wish the American version of LIB was handled similarly. I know it's because of cultural reasons that they did this, but I liked it.

As for the chauvinist men, that was an interesting watch. I'd love for those guys to come to America and act that way. The women here would throw their drinks in their face. American women, as a whole, wouldn't put up with their archaic beliefs.

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.

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.
