lonely singles are willing to leave everything behind, including their clothes, to find true love.

the producers of the dating show naked dating would like us all to believe that if we took our clothes off for a date, it would spark a dating revolution.

the synopsis for naked dating is as concise as the show's content, with just one sentence: "challenging singles to get to know each other and find their perfect partner - without putting on clothes."

the contestants are naked throughout the entire show, but the american version of "naked date" still has some bottom line, and vh1 has blurred the key parts.

the german and british versions of naked are completely uncensored, with balls rolling and birds flying everywhere on paramount+.

tamara moss brown, a sociologist at brooklyn college, said the coding technology only arouses people's interest.

"when you say a curse word, everyone wants to know what the word is that's covered up by the bleeping. the same thing happens with these blurred body parts."

she pointed out that censoring is the most basic form of teasing.

this is why i don’t hesitate to give you a thick code.

what makes people ponder during this process is: when there is no clothes to cover up, is love really an attraction between souls?

heidegger believes that the human state of existence (dasein) is "born towards death", that is, we are always aware of our own limitations in the world.

this dating show undoubtedly pushes this limitation to the extreme: the contestants stand naked in front of each other, no longer protected by any clothes or social identities.

they must face their own vulnerability, confront the nakedness of existence.

this is in stark contrast to the way we protect ourselves in our daily lives through clothing, ornaments, and social roles.

as sartre said, “hell is other people.”

when the contestants face the scrutiny of others, they enter a sartrean hell: there is nowhere to hide and no escape.

a beautiful female guest doesn't understand why she is so unlucky in love. after being cheated on so many times, she has to participate in a blind date show to find a good home.

i am confused too.

how can she be single?

i guess the shy girl asks herself the same question every day because it takes her a long 3 seconds to take off all her clothes.

in order to comfort her, the male guest took her on a happy motorboat.

this is a nightmare motorboat.

the camera on the boat was pointed directly at his crotch; it was a chaotic fight with sticks.

you can say that the process and routine of "naked dating" is no different from other ordinary dating shows: from meeting to matching to dating.

it also inherits the conventional blind date etiquette.

“you have to move your butt back. these strangers meeting for the first time are hugging each other and trying to figure out how far they have to move their butts back to be polite. it’s like the winners at the oscars.”

they even wore helmets and shoes while riding, but there was nothing in between.

this is like going to a bathhouse wearing only a bow tie, a kind of etiquette that is aware of the subtleties and hears thunder in silence.

only a neatly dressed spanish horse herder was left standing by, watching with a wry smile.

in real life, clothing is a symbolic expression of identity, class, and desire.

by stripping away these symbols, the show participants actually carry out a reduction of the phenomenon - they reappear before each other as pure "physical phenomenon".

just as husserl pursued "return to nature".

through nudity, the contestants returned the interactions between people to the authenticity of the body.

in this process, participants have to abandon their reliance on culture, history and social conventions.

most of the contestants are shocked to find themselves naked, but they are also tired of their failed attempts to find love the traditional way.

in naked dating, no one can hide their true personality behind their clothes.

you may hide in luxury cars and fancy clothes outside, but here, the other person will see the real you.

imagine love without the interference of property and the concealment of clothes. you may say i am a dreamer, but i am not the only one.

the host, rylan clark, is the only person wearing clothes on the show. he is a national treasure-level broadcaster and media figure in the uk, and his status is equivalent to meng fei in the nude blind date world.

dating naked uk review – the us version blurred out the nudity. we weren’t so lucky

the title is the subtlest part of this nightmarish, clothes-free romance, with tan lines in the shape of thongs everywhere - the only vaguely interesting thing is the host: rylan clark

"it's no secret that i love reality tv, but i'm tired of the hypocritical dating game. it's time to leave behind the complexities and restrictions of the modern world, and these singles will get candid, get back to basics, and bare it all in the name of finding love. you won't want to miss this, and i can't wait for you all to see it."

clark hopes that one day you will join them, and the world will become one family.

however, this also raises a profound ethical question: when we are completely naked, are we truly free, or do we become prisoners of a new power structure?

foucault's concept of the panopticon is particularly crucial here.

in "naked date", every naked body is scrutinized by countless cameras, audiences and the other person's eyes, like a huge panoramic prison.

foucault once pointed out that modern society shapes individual behavior and self-awareness through the ubiquitous gaze, and in this show, the naked contestants cannot escape this gaze.

although they abandoned clothing, a traditional symbol of power, they entered into another more exposed power mechanism.

their every gesture and movement is invisibly measured and judged, forming a new social control framework.

regardless, "dating naked" once and for all answers the question "do you really need clothes to find true love?"

even without the help of clothes, a group of love-starved singles can form a deep emotional connection.

because we all know that fashion is a tool to cover up the truth, and clothes exist only to cover up our truest selves.

after all, lying is much more difficult when you're naked.

if a person tells you that he likes mountain climbing and yoga, but he can't breathe when he looks at you, the truth is revealed.

“when you strip away your preconceptions and your defense mechanisms, you can be your authentic self and people see that. you have nowhere to hide.

it’s the most radical and honest way to date. you have to bare everything before you bare your soul. the audience can clearly see the sparks between two people.”

susan levison, vh1's programming director, believes that in an age where everyone meets online, everyone hides behind a beautified profile picture.

and the appeal of suddenly seeing a potential partner's true self is huge - without material possessions getting in the way, you can actually get to know a person better - and the average of 826,000 viewers per episode easily beat the 335,000 viewers in its previous time slot.

most people want to put their best qualities on a first date, whether it's a joke, a magic trick, or just a genuine smile.

there is a line in the opening song of "naked date" that goes "i've seen everything, and now i understand you."

i guess it's probably true that nudity is the most honest display and allows you to quickly learn everything about someone through some kind of crotch sensing.

it made me feel like an idiot for trying to somehow fall in love in my stupid clothes.

from nietzsche's perspective, this reflects the rise of a "superman".

in nietzsche's view, the traditional moral system suppresses human instincts and desires, and naked dating seems to challenge this moral constraint.

the contestants rejected traditional costumes and etiquette and bravely expressed their primitive desires and instincts, as if they were driven by nietzsche's "will to power" and heading towards a state of existence beyond the norm.

they no longer care about the moral judgment of society, they go into battle naked, and become a new kind of existence that transcends the boundaries of human morality.

however, this kind of transcendence is dangerous.

as thus spoke zarathustra reminds us: "when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss burns the eyes."

through "dating naked," we enter a moral and existential world that is both naked and complex—clothes disappear and real thinking begins.

as kant said: "freedom does not consist in doing what one pleases, but in being bound by reasonable laws."

in this show, the disappearance of clothes reveals those hidden underlying rules.

do the people who go on naked dates on this show really hope that they can meet the love of their life in this ridiculous premise?

in fact, after almost all dating variety shows end, you rarely hear that the couples have finally gotten married.

i’m not sure if dating naked is the pinnacle of 21st century dating shows, but i’m pretty sure paramount+ subscriptions are going to explode.
