is it wrong for a straight guy to like reality tv programmes?

OK, I cant believe im admitting this but I actually enjoy watching

Spoiler

. Im sure a lot of people will be thinking "urrrr hes only watching it coz of the ladies" or something more rude then that but surprisingly I started watching it because of wrestling and to see the real lives of the actors & actresses of my fav. soap opera (yes I classify wrestling as a soap opera). at first I was like, o god, its the bella bimbos (anyone see how the bella twins act in fornt of the camera + read behind the scene news articles and youll get why I use to call them the bella bimbos), nattie niedhart and some redhead who has had too much fake tan and red hair. but gradually I started developing more of an interest, and dare a say, sympathy towards these soap athletes and see how they are in manufactured and vulnerable situations.

yes I know reality tv is fake and it is blatantly obvious that none of these ladies can act, but it does offer some insight into their lives, how injury can affect their careers and their personal lives (not just the female cast but also male wrestlers like john cena and daniel bryan).

so yeah, are there any other stragiht guys out there who like reality tv programmes for non lewd / pervy reasons

apart from total divas, I also like cake boss, man vs food and car modding programs (+ top gear)

What kind of question is this lol.

You're free to watch whatever you like regardless of your sexuality. Unless its illegal, people shouldn't be judging you haha.


Y'see, you probs laughed at that meaning it doesnt matter what you watch, just do your thing and enjoy your thing


Watch what you like

lol, not into that stuff. violence is only good in action films/ programmes and racism if used in comedy for humour rather than offence

well 1 of the reasons why I got into it in the first place is because I was at a friends house and she was watching (shudders) kardashians (even saying that names makes me want to inflict self-harm) and I saw an advert for what I thought was wrestling but it turned out to be total divas.

ps, are you straight bro ?

I watch total divas, cake boss and the other reality tv programmes listed on that post. usually girls / gay guys watch reality tv but I am straight (slightly metro but def hetero) and I watch total divas out of interest (well more to supplement my knowledge of WWE and if some storyline is kayfabe ie def fake or has some legitimate reason)

mostly everyone I know lol. all the guys I know who watch reality tv programmes but its more for pervy reasons than interest (namely anything ending in shore or kardashians; heck most of the guys I know who watch total divas watch it for lewd/pervy reasons).

some reality shows I guess are ok for everyone (cooking programmes, top gear etc) but the rest are geared more towards feminine tastes I reckon.
