Let’s be clear on something: contrary to what my Twitter feed will have you think, I am not a Love Island superfan. In fact, this is the first year I tuned in to the show from the very beginning – I know, I was a bit late jumping joining the bandwagon! Last year, my slow addiction to the reality show developed mid-season, after catching a glimpse of the tension created by Muggy Mike.
Watching all the drama unfold in the villa before Amber & Kem took home the prize money, made me realised that you don’t have to be a qualified doctor to diagnose an unhealthy addiction towards television drama. Much like anyone else who has a tendency of investing their feelings into onscreen relationships, the new series of Love Island has already taken an emotional toll on us ITV viewers.
Tuning in from the beginning of the season means I’ll have a better understanding of the inner workings of the show as well as the game plan of schneaky contestants (I can think of a few names). But rather than naming and shaming – I probably do enough of that on Twitter anyways, I’ve decided to compile a list of meaningful love lessons us singletons can learn about dating from week one of this year’s Love Island.
Only a week into seeing sloppy kisses on screen and uncomfortable love triangles, but I’ve already picked up on some major faux pas in the world of dating *puts on Carrie Bradshaw hat*
Here are 10 things all singletons can learn from week one of Love Island 2018:
1. Not all that glitters is gold
2. Insecurities follow you until you mend your heart
3. Acting dumb will never be cute
4. Girls really don’t want a good guy
5. Never underestimate the power of bro code
6. Female ageing is still highly stigmatised
7. If it ain’t white, it ain’t ‘right’ 😒
8.Some women truly are masochists
9. Politics isn’t for everyone
10. If you want true love, choose personality over looks – always!
