I keep telling everyone here that we need to start a new feature called “Great Not To Be Straight,” because there are so many examples of straight people doing horrendous things and, hey, isn’t it high time we demonize them? (Kidding. Mostly.) Not that us lesbians and gays and bis and trans and Qs and YR&**xs (I just made that one up) are immune to being jerks, but sometimes it’s refreshing to see heterosexuals engage in such repulsive behavior, it makes me stop and think, “And we’re the degenerates?” So let’s meet Dating In The Dark‘s Joey.

Gawker has full clips from the show, where contestants go on dates sans light, for a whole new innovative twist on reality show dating. But it also sets up Joey’s ability to size up a girl based on what she looks like, ’cause he don’t like no fatties.
Congratulations, straight America: This one’s on you.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Oh. My. God.
I have no hope for the human species. And people wonder why they’re single? I cannot believe I have to wait 3 more hours for a martini…..

This show looks ridiculous and a nuisance.

Sure, Dating in the Dark is a showcase of how stupid heteros are, but, we’re deluding ourselves if we think gays aren’t just as superficial about looks.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
The show is like a horrific car accident, once you gander over a view you can not look away…………
However Karma did make a pit stop there last night. The nerdy guy who had zero self confidence had two girls swoonin’ over him. And Joey was sent packing when all three blew him off…………..

Oh come on. You know there would be just as many GLBTQA’s scoping out the tummies.
I’m not saying it’s a good quality, I’m just saying it’s a human one.
whatever
Shallow and superficial hets? Yes, because gays are sooooo accepting of various body types, races, ages, disabilities, etc., when it comes to dating.
Uh, we gays kind of live in a glass house on that one.

Hope, when he gets married, he doesn’t get his wife pregnant… cuz she’ll probably kill him when she says she’s “blown up like a tick”.
Pip
Um its ok to have standards, but that guy was an asshole, and totally lacking in self awareness.
Jon
Does this guy have absolutely no censor on his mouth? I think he’s mistaking “brutal honesty” for “permanent foot-in-mouth syndrome.”
Not a floater
He may not be a “floater” but he sure ain’t a looker either. He really isn’t someone who should be dismissing women so easily.
Shaun
That guy looks kinda gay.

Oh please, even straight larger guys won’t look/touch “chubby” women, (in general, of course)initially, but won’t dare admit it to them. Instead, they admit it openly to other men and have no problem degrading women amongst their peers; we degrade who we dare not date/look at amongst our friends too, or allow it without reprimand. Cruel as it may be, I doubt anyone belongs on a soapbox regarding this topic.

I’ll have the one in the grey top please, in the dark or with the lights on
