A Guy Went On A Show Called ‘Love Is Blind’, Proposed, And Then Dumped His Fiancée For Not Having A Pilates Body
Chris Fusco, a contestant on season 10 of Netflix’s dating show, Love is Blind, fell in love with Jessica Barrett without every laying eyes on her. The show follows singles as they date in pods where they cannot see their matches until after they get engaged. Chris proposed to Jessica and all seemed well at the reveal and on the engagement trip to Cabo.
However, when the two returned to Ohio to start a life together, suddenly Chris changed his tune. In an awkward conversation with Jessica, Chris seemed to be saying she wasn’t his type physically because she doesn’t work out every day.
So what happened?
Fitness is something that is evidently important to Chris, which is why the two discussed it when they were getting to know each other while dating in the pods. Jessica told Chris she did not go to the gym every day. As a busy doctor, she said she stays healthy by walking around the hospital but isn’t able to do more than that on a daily basis. Chris knew Jessica did not work out daily when he proposed.
For reference, this is what Jessica looks like:
While Chris appeared to be attracted to Jessica when the two met in person for the first time, and on their trip to Cabo, was he secretly fighting feelings of not being into her? If that’s the case, why wasn’t it a problem for Chris when Jessica told him that she didn’t work out every day before he proposed? It seems like he should have ended it there if this is such a big deal for him.
I also don’t really understand the body difference he’s talking about since Jessica is already slim. Is he saying he can’t be attracted to a slim woman who isn’t muscular?
That seems like a very, very small percentage of women.
If your preference is so niche and tiny, why would you go on a show called “Love is Blind” where you don’t see the person before you propose marriage to them?
And if it’s a personality difference of “having discipline”, why wasn’t it an issue in the pods? Jessica doesn’t seem to be lacking in discipline as she was able to achieve a career in medicine, which is a long and difficult path. Another possible explanation is that Chris wanted to leave the relationship for another reason and used Jessica’s lack of a pilates body as an excuse.
What do you think is really happening here?
