I have recently gotten into a show called Tough Love on VH1. This show is about 8 girls who have a lot of trouble in the dating world, and have now been enrolled in a sort of boot camp in order to fix their dating faux pas. This show is created and hosted by a mother son team JoAnn and Steven Ward, Master Matchmakers, who are naturals at pairing their clientele with their ideal mates. The company's foundation rests on her passion for uniting desirable singles in rewarding, long-term relationships. JoAnn takes time to learn about her clients' backgrounds, personalities and relationship goals, thus eliminating many of the obstacles they face when searching for a partner on their own.
Steven guarantees that if they follow his rules then by the end of the eight weeks they will be ready for love. But there's a method to Steven's madness. Steven's methodology consists of his rules of dating. Steven's rules are bold, insightful, and often hilarious. But most of all they offer an unapologetic glance into the male mind. The core of the series is Steven revealing the truth about what men really think when it comes to dating and women. “Steven Ward is America's maestro of love. His brutally honest approach to matchmaking is what has made him and his mother Joann Ward one of the most successful matchmaking teams in the country. Steven has the balls to tell women not what they want to hear, but what they need to hear to find love. The women in this boot camp are desperate and single, but can't figure out why. The cast is composed of classic archetypes of the single woman: the 'too much too soon' romantic, the 'gold digger', the 'fixing the wrong guys' victim, the late 30's "Lone Ranger'. To call the women out on their issues, Steven labels each woman with a moniker that correlates to her main problem. From "Miss Picky," the woman who is too caught up in a list of impossible expectations, to "Miss Wedding-Obsessed," the girl that tells guys on their first date she's looking to be married within a year.”
Personally, I think this is a great reality show, because it is actually dealing with real life problems. It’s not another dating show, but rather real people dealing with real problems. I personally, know a lot of women with these sorts of problem when dating, and think that this show can maybe help show other women just what might be going on in their own relationships.

Good post! These kind of shows kind of make me laugh, yet I find them a little bit pathetic. It seems like the women on these shows are not only desperate for love and companionship, but for attention. It seems like they thrive off of the television coverage. And, I think that this show is great in the sense that the man in it has the guts to tell the women what they are doing wrong and that something they do is not appealing, it's a quality more men should have!
