Quarantine and Chill

COVID-19 has given all of the chance to spend time at home and have more free time on our hands. For me, I have taken the time to watch a new hit series on Netflix called “Love is blind”. If you have not heard of this show, you might live under rock because it had everyone talking from my peers to Ellen Degeneres. This Netflix show is about a group of females and males that live together based on their sex and are able to talk to each other in pods. They can then after several talks decide if they want to get engaged with one another or walk away. The key to this all though is that they cannot see each other before deciding. Some couples who chose to get engaged have gotten married and stayed married for a year and a half and some couples chose not marry each other at the alter. The reason behind this show was to see if love actually is blind, hints the title. After watching this show it really proved to me how we allow physical attraction towards someone to play a huge role in whether we even give them a chance. The development of technology and the increase in popularity of dating websites are definitely to blame partially. Social media has also played part in the idea of what an “ideal” person should look like because of things like social media influencers and celebrities. The truth is: there could be so much character and lovely things about someone who does not live up to society’s standards of attractive.
