VH1’s newest trashy dating show, “Tough Love”, has me feeling inspired this week.
Like most of VH1’s dating shows, the casting on “Tough” is brilliant and there are plenty of “Oh no she didn’t” moments. However, what sets this show apart from its predecessors is the host, Steve Ward. Say what you will about the man-scaped, East Coast, frat-boy matchmaker, but the dude gets to the point. His advice may be blunt, impolite, and controversial, but he gets the attention of his desperate and delusional students.
It makes me think that I’ve been a little too nice lately.
The job market is scary and young professionals are desperate (and often delusional). Now is not the time for sugar-coated critiques. The days of “Your resume looks pretty good but I see a few opportunities for improvement” are over. From here on out, I’m in the Tough Love business.
Just thought I’d give everyone a little heads up.
