So this is a serious question that is related to this show.
I’ve never watched the show, but a friend brought it up to me when I told them I had met someone while I was traveling and really hit it off, so I was going to go back and visit them again for a bit longer to see how things go. They excitedly laughed and said that it sounded like “a real life 90 Day Fiance” situation.
The friend explained the basic premise of this show, and said they were excited for me to see what happened. I felt a little weird about the comment, but took it in stride, since this was the first person in a long time I had been excited over.
I just randomly came across this sub and… it seems like this show is somewhat mean-spirited, in that’s it’s kind of making fun of people who are doing outrageous and outlandish types of behaviors on the fringe of societal acceptability. One comment on here said “they are not our best and brightest.”
Was this friend actually insulting me with that comment? I had weird feelings about it, but kept brushing it off as overthinking. But now, I’m really not sure anymore. Thanks in advance.
I don’t think they were being meanspirited, a lot of the people on the show can be nuts. I think it’s an escape for people as a lot of them on the show are entertaining.
That’s great that you met someone! I read somewhere that tlc is looking for new couples. You could actually make some money. Don’t feel bad about what your friend said. I really don’t think they meant to upset you. Welcome to 90 day fiance! People here are nice.
