'Dating in the Dark' should be called 'When average looking people realize they don't want to date other average looking people.'

I think it's funny that these people all try to make it sound like looks don't matter as they choose not to date their matches after they see what they look like. The bottom line is that looks do matter. Your partner doesn't have to be a supermodel, but if you're not attracted to them then you might as well just be friends.

Sexual chemistry is important in any relationship. You don't have to go around humping like rabbits, but if you don't feel like getting romantic with your spouse, you're in for a bumpy ride. On that same note, you also have to be best friends with your spouse. It's a two-way street and both lanes needs to be traveled.

It's not a matter of being superficial or shallow. It's purely about finding the right person that fits your expectations. If your expectations are too high, you may be lonely for awhile. Likewise, if you lie to yourself and say you've changed your expectations so you don't look like a douche bag on national TV, you'll probably still be lonely. You'll just have someone next to you that's lonely too.
