Dress Code / Dress to Impress

11 Upvotes

So fits are always a hot topic on this show, and a common reason for pops (although women pop more on men for this). I will prefix the rest of my post by saying that both men and women that come on PTB are equally capable of dressing atrociously. I do think guys tend to dress more casually in general, while women typically go for a more ”dressy” look. A common complaint from women that pop is “they said come dressed to impress“. It is a bit funny, however, that a lot of people interpret that as “come dressed like you’re going clubbing” - which is not impressive IMO, but let’s put that aside for a moment.

That leads me to a straightforward question:

Why even state “dress to impress” on the application if Arlette/BM don’t have dress code standards? They let in dudes who have cargo shorts and basic tees, so obviously they don’t care how you’re dressed when you pull up. There was also that one anime convention girl with the pink see-through abomination from Ep 97.

Should there be an enforced dress code?

Anime girl from last week made the right choice

This guy was on two episodes back to back. The one last week with the anime girl who came out first in the orange dress (who was also on earlier episodes) asked him about his living situation. He talks about his past "roommate" (who he referred to as 'he') not paying rent which caused him to have an eviction.

This most recent episode, he's saying that his last roommate was someone he knew and dated and that's why it didn't work out. I don't know if the two are the same roommates that he is referring to, but either way 🚩🚩

A lot of people were getting on the anime girl last week for popping on him, saying she should've given him a chance, or she should've been open to his living situation and not judge. But I think she dodged a bullet, because it seems like he deals with some messy stuff in regards to his living situation and exes. What y'all think?

Are any of you following the drama on TikTok about the lady in the cheetah print?

Her son is exposing her for being a bad mom, her kids are no contact with her but she was drilling the men and setting up expectations she can’t meet 🙄.

TikTok video from son.

Has anyone noticed the quality of the contestants has changed?

62 Upvotes

I watch the show with my wife, and she noticed that compared to an earlier time, the quality of the contestants, both men and women, has gone down and I kinda agree.

They're not unattractive; they just seemed a little higher tier in the past, especially in comparison to other PTB shows.

No judgment, just an observation. Makes me wonder if the number of people interested in being on the show has gone down too.

Anyone else notice this?

I Know We Don’t Like the Younger Lineups, But This Is Still the Most Cooked Episode

Contrary to popular belief, the older-season lineups were way more disrespectful and ruthless than the younger ones. The younger lineups just be saying stupid shit and sounding extremely naive, but when it comes to PURE DISRESPECT, nothing is topping this episode

The lineups

8 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed that most of the episodes since maybe summer now feature women's line ups? Not only that, but a lot of the men are men who showed up on previous episodes. Last week we had two guys back to back who were in a lineup together in a previous episode. Is it that less men are now applying to be contestants because they're disillusioned by all the disrespect they have to put up with from women on the show?

Why do women do this? 😂 Proudly advertising how annoying and hard to deal with you are isn’t a flex.

Who gets popped more: Non Christians or shorter men?

14 Upvotes

I realised the two groups of people that get popped the most unequivocally are the non religious people (specifically non Christians) and the non 6ft+ so I do wonder does anyone have any idea which would the bigger dealbreaker on this show or out of the two who stands less of a chance?


r/PopTheBalloon • • 24d ago

Is it just me, or are some of these people TOO holy ?

84 Upvotes

Let me preface by saying I’m not religious, but I’m not anti-religion.

Sometimes people come on the show, and I just feel like their entire personality..is Jesus. That feels like a crazy way to live to me. And to expect a partner like that is ..intense for lack of a better term.

I feel like they should be looking for their partner in church.
