Many viewers of "first-glance wedding" resent the trendy casting of angry and displeased women versus relaxed and open men • Is it a true representation of reality or an attempt to produce TV dramas? It depends on who you ask

If you watch the current season of "Wedding at First Sight" you must have noticed the phenomenon: Except for Danish, who seems quite pleased with her match, the other women show some closure, suspicion, and even a certain sourness to their partner. They look very dissatisfied, while the men look relaxed, open, and ready to invest in the new relationship.

On social networks you can find a lot of resentment about this casting. Many resent the production of the program that has chosen to bring an unflattering female representation, to say the least, to single women aged 30 plus, and wonder why they chose to do so.

"If you generalize, you can say that the 'problems' at first create the girls and it's not accidental," says Dr. Yael Doron, the psychologist who pairs the couples at "first-glance" with her teammates. "It's not about casting but the difference between Men for women. Women first anticipate problems and create a situation as if the problem is with the woman and not the man, but it is not true. The problem is with both spouses. The women are simply talking. "

Doron says, "There's a kind of social convention that a man - when he brings a beautiful woman to the canopy, he'll say, 'I'm going for it.' A woman has more complexity in the way she goes.

"The impatient criticism of women this season is a criticism that hurts me as a woman and as a human being because it has its misogyny. Seeing themselves reflect on the screen - instead of empathizing, they do what they wouldn't want them to do. This criticism is self-hatred. Remember that these girls are not characters, are human beings, and read the talkbacks. She suffered from it and eventually learned to love her. Amazes me how patient the talkbacks are for the men's fucks. "

Still, there is a sense that you are casting women of a very specific genre: academic, educated, lean and good looking. It does not seem to me that it represents women of these ages in the country.

"'Wedding at first sight' is not just a reality, but a reality that requires you to go through a process, and so we choose women who have high awareness, who are versatile and able to go through the process. We are deliberately raising intelligent women who know how to speak. Mental. Besides, that's the kind of women who come to the program. "

Dr. Yuval Karniel, a cultural and media researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center, thinks that the very format of the wedding puts more pressure on women. "In our culture, women whose biological clock is ticking are in a different position than men. The pressure on women in this format is much greater. The men are much more relaxed because they came to a TV game, while in the women the reactions are much deeper. The plan at its core is patriarchal, it comes and says 'We have no life if we don't get married'. "

According to him, the female representation in the program does not at all reflect the image of the modern woman in Israel 2020. "It is a casting that will provide us with dramas that will bring us viewing rates to the program," he says.

Journalist Efrat Wachtel thinks that there is a difference between the readiness and openness with which the women come to the program and the readiness and openness of the men. "The women are hungry for love, but they are not compromising anything. Such a process with grocery lists should not be given a chance, and I cannot understand how people who come to a TV show do not remove all those lists. I feel the boys are more open and ready. "None of the girls on the show are Bar Refaeli, and yet I haven't seen any men come and rule them out. On the other hand, the girls do complain. They thought that if they came on TV - they would get Brad Pitt, and when they didn't get it - the mess would start."
