Giving Chicks In Their 20's A Bad Name
Age Of Love premiered last night on nbc. they have been hyping this thing as a great social experiment - giving a single 30-year-old guy (tennis "star" mark philippoussis) his pick of hot women in their 40's and hot girls in their 20's.
in the end, and of course this is based solely on seeing the first episode, this is another same-old-same-old bachelor-type dating show. there are going to be competitions and eliminations and everything you would expect.
what annoyed me the most was the girls in their 20's. they are all hot and, based on how they edited them, come across real dumb and bitchy. sure there was a little catyness starting with the older women, but all we saw of the 20-somethings was ditsy and annoying. was it that the producers couldn't find any smart and interesting hot 20-somethings?
it just felt like it was playing into the stereotype of a sexy babe in her 20's and based on that i can't see mark picking any of them in the end - sure they would be fun for as little while, but if he really is looking for something long-term then i would think he would want someone that could stimulate the head on his neck and not just the one below his waist.
yes, i am going to watch at least a couple more episodes, but the dumb 20-somethings aside, this great social experiment isn't anything new and looks to be just another regular dating reality show..... if things change farther into the show i will of course be back to post further comments about it all.

Ha- I just watched the opening episode of Age of Love. I agree it's just another dating show, but from an entertainment factor - I'm totally going to enjoy it. I happen to be "an older guy" and appreciate the "older woman". Agree with you - a hot, young thing might be fun for a while, but I totally appreciate the maturity, confidence and experiences of the older woman. Just as I totally enjoy movies where the "chick kick butt" and beats the bad guy, I think I'm gonna enjoy watching the cougars win his heart over the kittens.
We'll see how it goes...
ya, i'm not sure where he will end up in the end, just cause i don't know if i totally believe that he is ready to settle down. i think a more interesting 'social experimnet' (if i can say that with a straight face) would be to have smart and interesting 20-year-olds rather then ditsy annoying ones (again that is just based on the little bit we have seen of them so far and i will be happy to adjust my comments as the show goes on if i have misread them)
