The television show First dates has been on the air for seven years thanks to the inability of so many Spaniards to remain single and an unhealthy audience of married people, carefree people who laugh at others following in their footsteps and their procession.
The program has merit! 8,300 dates on air! And only eight weddings! Find out if the penalty...
From here I congratulate those responsible for First dates and the thousands of optimists who have lent themselves to perpetrating a first date on television and not in a restaurant like these to share. This is called a point of honor, courage and aspirational temperament.
Do I see the Cuatro program? very little I suffer what is not written because, before sharing a dinner, the pigeons explain what they are looking for, how authentic they are and this is where the anxiety takes hold of me.
- I'm honest: I let go of what I think. I'm looking for a tall man without a belly who makes me laugh, who knows how to treat me and likes to dance (except read Galdós).
Then, the aspirant appears, shirt off, colored glasses and face of setbacks.
- I am a diamond. I'm looking for a woman-woman - that is, not bearded - to share experiences (De roncar, ni piu).
And so, without first examining themselves in the mirror, the male and female candidates claim what they want, without realizing that comedians are highly sought after and for experiences, the income statement. Just like in life.
The program resists because this thing of living as a couple is overrated and the market is always fatal, especially for those who demand a lot and offer less.
To top off the sadness, then there are the expressions, the pulls and certain disturbing ways of holding the fork, halfway up, that anticipate the failure of the date, around a table served by waiters who treat as "boys" to the elderly
In this way, and without getting off the domestic coach, the audience can empathize, make predictions and go to sleep with the couple with the peace of mind that she is not that woman who calls for war and peace, she aspires to everything and is most cheesy. Or vice versa.
