Tv disappointments

Over the weekend, I was able to catch a show which was originally aired overseas, which made me very angry at Asian culture and asian society.

The idea of the show, was the take 5 different women, of various social classes, and help them "improve" themselves so they would be able to find a husband to settle with.

At first I was skeptical, maybe it might actually be informative, maybe it might teach me something... MAYBE...
I'm sad to say that it didn't happen. Though the series is only 10 episodes long, I had to leave the room halfway through the 3 episode. And i'm glad to say that i don't regret it. These so called "life coaches", and "specialists" (such as "specialist" in understanding how men think, how to "look prettier"... pffft)are filled with a bunch of BS!

One of the girls who was in her mid to late 20s, was told that she was "too aggressive" and that men like women who are passive. Another was told that she needed to get plastic surgery. An older lady, was told that because of her age (early 40s), she'd need to change and alter her standards in looking for someone to spend the rest of her life with, cause no one wants to be with a lady within her age range. In general, the girls were also told to not at that smart... because it'll make a man feel inferior, and that's not going to help you find a man....

I guess what angers me the most, was when one of the specialist was teaching the girls  how to "interact with a man via txt" (aka, flirt) [fyi, if you're interested... when replying txts, reply with fewer characters than what they send you, make sure you are never the last person to send a txt out, and Never EVER be the one that initiates outings]. My mother looked at me, and said, you could get pointers on this.


My reaction was.. WTF?!?!?! if a person watches enough tv... we will know what "the rules" are, and even then, they might not be right. second, this has nothing to do, with improving yourself to make yourself a better person, in hopes of meeting a nice boy to spend the rest of your life with.


WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

I don't have a conclusion for this. I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED and still VERY ANGRY.
Think of what you may......
