Reality TV dating shows have become more and more popular in recent years, with programmes like The Bachelor, Love Island and Too Hot To Handle amassing huge followings. But some experts believe that reality TV dating shows are actually influencing intimacy and relationships in a negative way. Critics argue that reality TV dating shows cultivate unrealistic and rather unhealthy expectations of relationships and love. For example, people tune in to see participants engage in hyper-sexualised behavior, scandalous revelations about each participant and dramatic alterations among those involved. People watching these shows at home may start to believe that these are essential or right behaviors in their relationships. If this is not the case in their own real-life relationships, it can lead them to feel that their relationship is lacking or make them feel disappointed or dissatisfied with their partner. The defenders of reality TV dating shows argue that people can find love and connection on these shows, and that reality TV is just a form of entertainment that we should not take too seriously. What do you think? Perhaps some people take the advice they learn from reality TV dating shows seriously, and perhaps they donβt. In any case, we all need to make our own decisions and take control of our own relationships in an authentic and respectful way.
