非诚勿扰 - Facing the Harsh Reality

I watched 非诚勿扰 and am pretty intrigued by the show. Initially, I was intrigued by the proceedings of the show - such as how the guys introduce themselves and how the girls eliminated the guys one after another. After some time, I got the hang of the show, but continued to watch, because there seemed to be interesting variations, such as how handsome guys walk off empty-handed or the occasional 爆灯 by one of the 24 female contestants. I liked to watch the harsh reality of an online dating game and these are reasons why it is harsh:
1. If all 24 lights go off, the man loses. That means none of the 24 girls liked you and the issue must have been YOU.
2. If you are ugly, this could been easily brushed aside. But guys selected for this show - are generally above average. Then there must have been something really WRONG in you.
3. Short introductions are powerful and yet destructive. Impressions matter, but a wrong step, such as revealing that you are overly INSECURE, might lead you walking down the aisle before you could explain yourself.
4. How the girls manage to stand there for many episodes. Whilst many continue to be picky and wait for
the Mr Right, I asked if they know that they themselves have become RIDICULED by the audience.
5. Speaking off the cuff is not an easy task. If you are not to it, remaining quiet will put you in a better light, rather than sharing your thoughts. Sometimes, SILENCE is GOLDEN.

Interestingly, it always continue to excite me to watch, because of the humorous conversations, the wide range of topics discussed and the surprises that occurs within each show.
