Why all the Nick hate? Hes just not into her, thats it.

Everyone keeps insisting that Nick must be gay or have some issues if hes not into Sonia. Why?Shes just not his type and thats it, she doesnt turn him on. In my opinion shes not that pretty, she has an insecure energy about her, needy, and she complete opposite of an assertive woman. She has a weird nervous quivery voice, she ends every sentence like shes asking a question, makes cringeworthy corny remarks "struggle dot com huh huh". She acts like a little girl or old lady, nothing about her personality is sexy. That could be a turn off to some men. Nick is sharp witted, sarcastic with a perfect deadpan delivery. He seems like the type that may be attracted to a battle of wits and intellectual stimulation. Not a caveman alpha that wants an agreeable giggly stepford wife.
Remember that we are watching this show from a viewer's point of view. We see these people an hour a week, edited to boot. Its a whole different ballgame being with someone 7 days a week for 6 weeks. Theres probably little things that grate your nerves or simply that you dont vibe with.

Whenever someone is not into the person they were matched to, they automatically get hate from some people. The reality is we have no idea if Sonia is as needy as the show is making her out to be. Producers know how to craft the characters they want. They can easily make a person look needy and insecure by making sure to have the right statements edited in to the show. And even using voice over from questions they asked Sonia directly. So if a producer is asking her if she thinks Nick like her etc. And Sonia responds that she isn't sure or doesn't know what Nick is thinking, that can be edited in at the right moment, to make her look insecure.

It looks like they have communication problems, so who really knows.

Based on what Nick and his mom have said about him, he is just not someone who wears his heart on his sleeve.

sunsoullove....I couldn't agree with you more. Sonia is pretty enough especially when she's not wearing makeup. However, her looks are totally diminished by her behavior. IMO it's pretty hard for most guys to warm up to a woman who whines like a two year old and is so uncertain about everything that comes out of her mouth. Which is why every sentence has a question mark at the end of it. Maybe she thinks boxers and jersey's are sexy bedroom attire but it doesn't seem to be working for her. Perhaps she should change up. And that voice. Does she think it's cute to sound like a little girl. Maybe if she was a petite little thing it might work. But she is not petite. If Sonia wants to be treated like a woman she needs to start acting like one.

Opposites don't always attract. I think the experts thought that hyper, sensitive Sonia would do well with boring Nick.

Methinks Nick also has a deadpan delivery in bed.

You and witch summed it up perfectly

[–] taito2000 8 years ago

I don't know where this idea that, if Nick doesn't wanna rip Sonia's clothes off, he must be gay started. The match was bad because of how insecure Sonia is and how Nick never seems to notice. Although, for all we know, maybe there are instances where he does notice and they don't want to show those to us because it creates more drama.

[–] LiveFromNewYawk 8 years ago

I'm telling you!! Any time a guy isn't into a woman or is awkward around women they automatically get labeled gay. It is ridiculous.

the closest he has come to that is when he was talking to the therapist and said that he isn't as attracted to her as he has been to other women. I think he doesn't want to hurt her feelings and that is pretty hurtful to hear. He seems like he wants it to work though - he is doing everything he is asked and should do except for sex with his wife. Sonia will eventually shut down from that rejection if he doesn't do something really soon. No woman wants to be with a man who isn't attracted to her.

Sonia needs a Tom

[–] witchaphrodite 8 years ago

He has an inability to express much of anything. Anyone this emotionally stunted never should have been picked by the so-called experts. It is really cruel to see Sonia wasting her time with him, when he is never going to be the person she needs.

[–] LiveFromNewYawk 8 years ago

It is sad. He does express things but has difficulty and needs help. Sonia needs more than he can give and deserves someone who is crazy about her. Nick isn't a bad guy but he isn't right for her. It really is painful to watch at times.

People may look one way on paper but that is not a true picture of who a person really is. It is confusing as to how they make these matches.

No 'bad editing' excuse for Nick?

[–] jeddahgal 8 years ago

Asexual is probably a good way to describe him as far as sex is concerned.

Immature and mean-spirited describes the way he spoke to her on the last episode. To borrow a description from a Jewish friend, he's a real little pisher.

Sonja should have been paired with Derek, or any guy who had a pulse and a normal level of libido, which leaves Nick out.

[–] taito2000 8 years ago

It does make me wonder what the experts were doing when they decided Nick and Sonia would work well together. I guess the expectation is that they'd be into each other by the end of the experiment and have an awesome story to tell at the end. It's still extremely confusing.

I don't hate Nick. He's not into Sonia. I really get gay or at least feminine vibes from Nick. That's just me.

[–] sunsoullove 8 years ago

I dont get gay. As a person with social anxiety i can tell you 100% thats his issue. Its one of those things that unless you have it, you wouldnt fully understand.
Combine social anxiety with not being attracted to your new spouse and you get Nick. The question for me is, why on Earth would you sign up for this being sooo introverted. I would never be able to!

Hes also meticulous and clean and takes pride in his appearance but alot of straight men are that way.

[–] sometimey 8 years ago

Nah...don't read social anxiety. You ask the right question though. Why would Nick sign up being sooo introverted?

Oh he wasn't introverted pre-wedding with his friends. He is quiet, except when he drinks.

I think the reason so many people read him as gay is his behavior mimics that of men that were not yet accepting or acknowledging their preference for men. He clearly has limited experience with women especially for someone his age.

It's not hate for Nick, just annoyance with his needing a few drinks to spit out what he's feeling and for doing it so crudely.

[–] crazygreen1126 8 years ago

I have severe social anxiety/panic attacks & I don't get that vibe from Nick at all. He just seems closed off emotionally. They both come off a bit shy to make a first move on any level. I thought there was potential there, but they just don't seem comfortable with one another. I think Sonia needs a guy who's more inclined to lead so to speak.

[–] pd3145 8 years ago

At least with next week's preview, we know how to get a quiet person to voice his opinion: keep asking him to "open up, open up open up". LOL!

[–] russellclo 8 years ago

I think Nick is incredibly boring, and Sonia has a desperation about her. I don't think he's into her very much. He told one of the "experts" that he's felt more for other women because "he picked them." It's hard for me to believe he went out on his own and signed up for this show, since he's so unenthusiastic about the whole thing.

[–] cager97 8 years ago

Russellicio- I completely agree with you! He is introverted, more into his dogs than anyone or anything else! Let's face it...Sonia is NOT his type! But, is she anybody's type?? She is whiny, mushy and well, just boring! I do feel sorry for her though, she seems to really want Nick, but it's a no-go in that department! Sonia...move on, this one is not your man!
