as some of you may be aware, the Edmonton Sun and the Bounce, a Radio Station started up a dating contest for two people, a woman and a man and they each get to do a little speed dating.
So the Sun chose 20 men and 20 women that will be potential dates for these Bachelor Bachelorettes.
Now, my complaint.. and I have written to the newspaper about it, is that they used double standards when it came to selecting their 20 potential mates.
I will put links to the pictures so you can see for yourself but I really think that the methods they used were totally different for the men than the women.
of the 20 men that they chose. the range of ages were wider. they had a man as old as 42 as one of the possible choices. For the 20 women, the oldest woman was only 32.
youngest man was 23 and the 21 for the women.
out of 20, pretty much all of the men were either of athletic build or muscular and were pretty handsome or attractive (according to a female friend of mine..)
now of the 20 women. 4 were definitely Plus sized Women. with 1 being pretty obese and another pretty close to it.
plus the attractiveness of the women was a little questionable. I only saw 2 that I believe were attractive in my mind.
So I have no issues with the women necessarily.. but my big complaint is that they did not choose the men the same way they chose the women.
there are no really obese or "fat" men among the 20 guys chosen.
it almost feels to me that they did not want to choose all 20 of their women to be thin/athletic and all sexy and attractive.
yet they had no issues doing that for all 20 of the men.
so why the double standards here?
