Love is blind is the name of the new Netflix produced show. As the name indicates, this show is all about finding love, through creating an emotional connection without a physical one. Actually, this emerging concept of blind dating (quite literally) is revolutionizing modern dating. This show has captivated the audience since the first episodes, given the fact that it handles the whole aspect of finding a husband differently than any other dating show before.
As oppose to love Island where couples are tempted in order to test their relationship, love is blind actually offers the opposite experience for love hunters.
Different Kind of Reality Shows
Besides gathering people who are looking for love, which is a mainstream concept, if we might say. Instead, this reality show focuses on changing common perceptions of meeting ”the right person.” In fact, the producers insisted that one of the main struggles for both males and females when it comes to finding a partner, is being judged based on physical appearances.
Therefore, the original idea of isolating women from men, and only allowing them to talk through a closed door is rather fascinating. The show basically consists of having 10 women and 10 men, each single and ready to mingle. Then, interactions begin behind closed doors, and you can talk to the other person without having the slightest clue of how they look like. In addition, all participants get to talk to everybody, until they decide with whom they would like having ”further dates.”
Would You Fall For Someone You’ve Never Physically Met?

Technically, physical attraction is vital to the success of a relationship. Nevertheless, the show aims to prove that yes, it is possible to fall in love with someone’s personality, and get to a point that what they look like won’t affect the feelings. However, would you really fall for someone you’ve never touched before? Well, according to how the show ends (no spoilers), it was clear that it’s not for everybody.
In fact, once the couples are officially formed, they are allowed to meet for the first time. However, the difficulties that come with gatherings and social events are not the same as those behind closed doors.
