Fox's More to Love- Who Will Make it to the End


I watched the premiere of the latest dating show and I clearly saw four women that caught Luke's eye.

First, Fox and the Producers are playing with FIRE! The concept sounds great, but in reality when you have so many women without realationship experience, and feel this is “the LAST chance to find someone” you have raised the stakes and they better be extremely careful that after they leave the show they have some sort of support. With all other shows of this variety the 'actors' have relationship experience and it is not the end of their relationship life if they are not chosen- many on this show feel it is and this could lead to extreme despair (along with the potential of embarrassment they may feel) which is dangerous.

You will see at least one of these people in the final... I am only commenting on their initial connection.

Malissa, He licked his lips when he saw her, he did this because he liked what he saw and subconsciously wanted to feel her touch on his lips... Luke also continued to shake her hand and this shows that he wanted extend physical contact.

Amanda, He had a larger smile with her than he had with others. She stoked her hair, which is a sign of attraction- she wants him to notice it. She shrugged one shoulder when she asked if he was ready to date multiple girls, which he turned away from, and they both laughed. Whenever you laugh together you connect. She very quickly set the tone of their relationship, she is confident, intelligent, and strong.

Lauren, connected from the start. They both were able to make small jokes and they both exhibited laughter- whenever someone laughs at our jokes we feel better about that person. He continued to hold her hand as she turned to walk up towards the door.

Melissa, he had more than a social smile with her. He brought up his other hand and held her wrist, this is a closer handshake. After he said he loved her eyes he initiated the hug- he has not done this with others. He is obviously getting more comfortable with the greeting, but it is also sign that he is attracted to her because he has done three things. In body language we call this ‘clusters‘ which is a clearer indication of his feelings. This greeting is somewhat different- he was more into her than she was into him… this could have more to do with her confidence.

Anna, he gave more than his social smile when she emerged from the car. As she was walking up the steps to go into the house, as he was watching her he subtly pursed his lips. Inward pursed lips can be a sign of stress, not wanting to speak, or not liking what they are hearing. In this particular example I believe it was a form of licking his lips, which is a sign of attraction.

Now onto those who did not have good greetings:

Arriane, unfortunately she showed disgust with her nose during the greeting. This is not good for first impressions.

Vanessa, they were out of sync. He controlled her, moving her on her mark. She held his hands instead of the other way around. She made him slightly uncomfortable.

Bonnie, he let out a tist sound while meeting her; this sound’s closest relative is a laugh; this is not good for Bonnie.

Natasha, she did not have a good greeting, they were out of sync from the start to the end. She showed nervous laughter as she was leaving, and he did nothing to alleviate her unease.◦
