IMHO, he probably specified age and racial preferences. Does that surprise you? I personally am not attracted to women of other races.

They are usually the first to go, so why bother?

Great point! Somehow I have a sneaking suspicion he didnt specify tho I could be wrong. I did notice that right off and wondered about it. Perhaps the producers didnt want to add women of color to the mix. (Or maybe it is against Adam's beliefs though that is only speculation)

Didn't the reject Joes select the women this time? Unless I am mistaken, this is the first show without any minorities.

Well most of these shows the guys are all white, maybe they throw one asian guy or indian guy or whatever in just for fun, but he never lasts long. In the Bachelorette shows, all the guys were white, tall, good looking.

In Joe Millionaire, there were a couple of asian chicks (I don't remember if there was a black chick).

Basically, women don't want to see asian men on TV, and that includes asian women. The ideal of attractiveness in men is white and there's really no alternatives.

Women luckily enjoy much more variety in their races, as you see asian women on many shows (and ALWAYS, sadly, with WHITE boyfriends).

I think it was just a safer bet for Adam, being Jewish or whatever he is, that he'd probably prefer to date within his race/colour. Most people generally prefer to date within their colour, except for the few black men who prey on white women, and of course asian women who live in western counries, who've basically turned their back on asian men all together.

Um, how many asian leading men do you see in movies and TV shows that are geared towards women?

I can't think of a single one.

Nobody's asked me my opinion. I always find myself rooting for the Asian guy/woman to stick around. Not nearly enough "color" on tv for my tastes.

Darkfalz-- you clearly have some minority opinions around these boards (Oops-- sorry, didn't mean to associate you with the word minority-- eye-roll). Though you have the right to express these unpopular opinions, you do not have the right to insult other posters (as you did on the now locked "Dismissed" thread). I'd watch your step or you won't last here long.

Personally, I think Asian guys are kinda hot...

I thought idiot-Daniel from Survivor Amazon was totally gorgeous, f'rinstance.

Dude, you need to take your hatin' elsewhere.


Have you hugged your Kittyloaf today?

Reality shows where made by white people for white people, so stupid white people could star on them!

I can’t prove it (maybe because it’s not true), but with the entire fan fair around the Arab Terrorists it’s seams that the racist views of the Aryan Brotherhood have gone unheard. Keep with me here. So, the KKK, Skinheads along side with those soulless TV executives have banned together to create a wide sweeping television phenomena know as reality TV. All these reality shows are nothing but a front for white power nationalist views. The segregation of races, the steady stream of inbred/dense contestants. It’s all coming together. Forum pages like this are nothing more then open dialog for spreading anti-Semitic ignorance.

This is a far-reaching deception, which will surely cause wide spread hatred. And one day all the soccer moms and shut-ins who inhabit these pages, and watch those shows, will pick up arms and the ethnic cleansing will begin. Blood will wash over our great land and take with it the waste. All because most minorities aren’t Desperate Attention Seeking Whores!


See this is the fun of having your own business. I get to waste three minutes of my life writing mindless rubbish that most likely won’t get read.

"Jewish angle"
Posted by PagongRatEater on 03-23-04 at 09:30 AM
I think that Adam MIGHT have specified that he was more interested in a Jewish woman, since this is for marriage. Obviously there are a statistically disproportionate number of Jewish women and that would make minorities much less likely as players.

I agree.

As a Jewish woman, I rarely see my group represented on these shows (I guess we're not cheerleaders as often). I'm not surprised at all to see that he might have specified a preference for Jewish women. Or, perhaps more Jewish women applied, seeing Adam as the kind of "mensch" they'd want to marry.

I would consider Jews a minority group in North America. However, we are an invisible minority, as opposed to our differences being on the surface. It's nice to see us represented!

True enough that Jews are a minority - no oversight intended. I should have been more specific that I was referring to the lack of blacks or asians mentioned above.

I know that most Jewish men want to marry a woman of their same faith (and their parents REALLY want it too). It is usually an important dating criteria. Just like it is with any other group or preference. There are certainly exceptions, but interfaith marriages can certainly be challenging....heck, it's tough enough being a Catholic married to a Baptist! ;)
