EP2. FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE - BALLOON CHALLENGE!!! 

Can we get REAL ppl on here that is really trying to date or get to know someone. These ppl wasting time! Cast some serious ppl!

They 're so fake, disingenuous, and closed minded. Such a shame.

As a black man, this is the reason why it’s so hard FOR ME to date within my own community. So much stigma, self hate, and acting. Being a “Man” does not equate to presenting masculine but more so how you treat others and especially yourself and knowing your worth and accepting everyone else’s differences.

I hate focusing on why someone isn’t attracted to someone else. It’s messy and can really hurt someone’s feelings unintentionally. I get its entertainment but geez this will scare away ppl who want to participate.

I will NEVER understand how grown men think having a slick mouth and ready to fight are personality traits. Bless them. Very entertaining episode tho!

"Can"t keep up" seems like code for "won"t be able to put up with my toxic, high maintenance behavior." LOL

LMAOOOOO first dude ate with the “Your my daughter 👧🏾 “

As a man that has experienced SEVERAL trips around the sun, I must commend the concept behind this show, specifically for the gay community. However, it saddens me to see the attitudes of the participants as it gives the impression that they are here for clicks and follows. I don’t want to see another generation get to my age and be lonely and depressed wondering what happened. Fortunately that’s not me but I know so many that wish they could have made better choices when they were younger. I think this is going to be an amazing show once the kinks are worked out. I’m a fan.

30 and up next time please, these kids are walking Jackd profiles.

We need older more mature minded men on here. These lil mamas be stressing me awt

Everybody shoe game stressed me the hell out. Also the host needs to move on from certain topics, the forced answers made it awkward.

This group of choices is very messy. I thought the 3 of the guys who came out were quality but most of that Cast was silly, immature and very tacky. Light eyes talking about punching people in the face . The one well put together dude who was a member of the Cast was dismissed because of his weight.

I love the Wild Card…. Great way to switch it up! That HUMBLED all their asses real quick 😂

Who’s picking the cast? I’m so tired of the superficial gays. This is crazy. Everyone got a smart remarks n taken shots. This is wild😂😂😂😂

We need more angles and close ups we can’t see the contestants

Oh Girl, these men are so interesting. “You’re not dominant enough”? Really? How dumb is that.

Thanks for displaying why gay black dating doesn’t work. The attitudes, stereotypes, always head to head, taking everything personally, etc. it’s draining as hell and it’s sad cuz I’m all for black love but I understand black men that date outside their race. It’s just too much.

Bruh for the longevity of this show,pls cast serious minded individuals who are actually looking to date and connect with someone 🙏the society already sees the LGBTQ as a joke and shit like this would prove them right 😢

The "country bumpkin" is REAL cute !!

Dispite the comments of people choice and cam. This is still a great gay version of pop the balloon. I'm glad you still posted and I like you took control and made the cast follow the rules and not dodge the questions. You kept your energy good! Just learn from the mistakes and keep getting better because this can give you a nice coin. ❤👍🏾

This episode was horrible. Y’all need to screen these people. They’re popping balloons just for the hell of it. The femphobia, fatphobia, and colorism is too much for me. The first episode was wayyyyyyy better!

the first guy wasn’t even given a chance 😞

Why I feel like dark skin/olive shirt on the left was feeling black and yellow fit on the far left

the question is - is the host single because whew. personality and then the looks, gorgeous man haha

We love challllis 🤩🤩🤩

These adlibs are killing me 🤣. Never change Lufty

Honestly the casting needs some improvement, make it more cohesive and cast mens who fit a specific vibe, or esthetic, either fit, model like, street dudes, nerd, but not a mix of everything, they were all looking so random next to each other, it was awkward and slightly cringe to watch 🥴

One thing I have learned about these Pop the Baloon shows, the more handsome the guys in the row the nicer they are to the bachelors. The uglier the row, the ruder. They all popped their balloons without giving the first guy a chance.

I'm going to say this with the comments that's referencing is nothing wrong with the gay black man wanting a masculine man. I made this as a reply to someone else, but I think that this needs to be highlighted. The issue with the pedestal of masculinity (which let's call a state of spade, it's not masculinity, it's hypermasculinity) in dating for gay black men is, when you like everything else about a person, but your central requirement for you to be with them is simply masculinity, which a lot of times is hypermasculinity (which there is a difference between masculinity and hypermasculinity) then yes, there is a problem. Because it's saying that you're not dating for love, you're dating for an aesthetic. A lot of gay black men are not dating for love, they're dating for an aesthetic, they're dating for relationship goals, they're dating for Instagram real, they're dating for likes on an Instagram post. That is the reality, and if people want to stand 10 toes on the truth and say that the truth is gay black men want masculine men, then people need to stand 10 toes on the truth that a lot of black hat men date for aesthetic solely. A lot will find their soulmate, and the minute they see a little bit of femininity, they'll be out the door. Then most of them behave feminine energy themselves, so if you turn that back on them, if you have feminine energy, and you want a masculine man, then what happens if everybody masculine man says that they don't want to date you because you have some feminine energy.... Now we're all single, which is where we're currently at, searching for the 1% that's basically not there.

Something felt off, and I feel like the host was more aggressive this episode

Honestly I’m living for the chemistry between Dee and Chase

This line up is tragic. So much unresolved trauma and toxicity.

Feel like the presenter needs to work on the flow of the conversation. Trying to talk to every single person one by one every single time is kinda stale. Some people are dead with the answers, avoid them! Also get some name tags, how many times we gotta hear the same person introduce themselves lol

I'm soooooo disappointed. The level of absolute messiness. The immaturity of some, not all. I'm truly outdone. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Green cardigan was cute 💚

Give me the doctors the lawyers the principals the professors cause this ain't it

This was the best hosting ever , I love his style

That host is so entertaining and quick-witted. He breeds life into this series.

🤣🤣🤣 For a hot second i was like, man everyone seem gay, then i read the description. Cool to see everyone having fun

the feminine queens always wanna have a attitude

Bravo Lufty, Bravo! This was thoroughly entertaining! So glad you brought this back. Since we changing up the format, I have some suggestions: I loved the format change for the second guy, keep doing that, but then give the dudes on the line up a chance to pop their balloons after speaking with all the guys who still had a balloon. Also cut 2-3 guys on the line and give us more bachelors. After that, maybe include like a balloon swap towards the end, so someone who has a balloon can give it to someone who doesn't but wants one after the first two popping rounds. Maybe include like a prize at the end, like $100 gift card for a date, if you get a match.

Love thissssss !!

This is a whole mess. Especially the first guy and the last guy who was the "mole". With attitudes like that they'll never be happy

Thanks. I had fun fr. Definitely an experience!

#Finally 🎉👏🏾🙌🏾

GREAT job Lutfy ❤️❤️❤️

Lutfy is a good host, he has a Great Personality, yes the show had a few bump's, it will get better, i enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this episode!!

Thank you for the next episode. its nice to see gay men in a open space. Id love to see more backgrounds for the men or even a focus on interest.

Lessgoo! Lufty back at it again.

The wild card was great, however, the two guys who think they pretty killed me😂😂😂😂...the only good looking is the emcee

Love this! Keep it up and don't change anything. Was very entertaining. And cast whoever is interested in being on the show!

Lutfy was letting folks know "I'm the Capt! I'm the Head _____ in Charge!" Okay Zaddy!!! Lol Love and Hugs from Los Angeles! -V

The host is hilarious lol I wonder what’s his sign, and having the guest pop the balloons instead was creative

The shallowness in our community hinders people from getting a decent person to date.

That host is FINE AS HELL

The fat shaming is real in this community

This is lowkey one of my favorite episodes! The line-up and the guests were all handsome and entertaining!! Lutfy, when you coming to NYC so I can audition for the show?!

Love the host's energy 🔥😂

Love these. Keep up the content 👏🏽🙂

They got mad when it was done to them😂

If everybody wanna be the girl ..who gonna be the boy…that just don’t make no sense to me

This is our modern day “Next” but with more character and I’m definitely hear for it😂.

The host pissed me off when the 2nd contestant came out. You made him pop the balloons based off looks then kept asking him why as if it was anything more than he could say other than looks. Then threw up him missing out on a man with money when again, you didnt allow him to ask questions himself before popping the balloons.

Love, love, love the concept, but could use some tweaks to represent us in a better light as some parts were extremely cringe, respectfully. Maybe have a conversation with the cast prior to filming about professionalism on set, appearances, and taking it more serious as it just feels as if they are there more for a tv appearance and not to actually date. Not asking about sexual positions since gay men are already viewed as overly promiscuous and it just sexualizes everything, and can take away from the experience of getting to know the guys that come on a deeper level, and not surfaced. I feel like more men would be willing to do this if they did not feel like they were going to get “shaded” and deal with cattiness the whole time. I am confident that this can be a major banger if revamped a bit. There is ample opportunity for growth. I will continue to watch and support.

I love watching and what you’re doing. A lot of people commenting don’t understand how HARD it is to produce a show. Keep going and growing the more you put out the more they will beg to be on this show for CLOUT. Happy for you guys 💫💫💫

🤣Everyone wants a trade piece…. END OF SHOW

I hate these types of shows but I love and am a huge fan of Lutfy. So I watch to support him and his efforts.

Dee want Chase BAD! And Chase is like uhhh ok. 😂😂

you need a wider range of guys attracted to a wider range of guys…

I like the first guy

I have always enjoyed your street interviews and now this show. I liked what you did with the second contestant, giving him the opportunity to choose. I also liked the whole "mole" idea too. I do think a better choice could have been chosen to be the mole (like the shy boy) no shade. Other then that, I think your show is great. Congratulations on many more to come🙏🏾

Really entertaining ... great host!

Love it 😂

Everyone looking for a top but am here ain’t no one coming for me

Why the camera so far?Let's do more close up,more angles like the original pop the balloons

Why they treating the second guy like that, he’s sooo adorable 😭😭😭😭

Craziness!!!! If your gonna have a diverse age group of presenters who are looking...the balloon holders should be just as diverse as well!!!

Good job getting the cast together Lutfy. I know it’s difficult getting men on here to show their face and take this seriously

We want Zay Zae on the lineup because that man is fine 😊😊

All things considered Lutfy I love that you produce this content, people complain about the compatibility or maybe production but the straights have it in every form and fashion so keep it coming!

Style Channel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 carried himself with grace. They think because he wear makeup he not thorough and that’s crazy. 😂 he 100% thorough bread!

Great episode! Personally, this kinda represents the current dating climate. For example, I can’t date you because we are in the same social circle or our fashions don’t match, or I’m too much and you’re not enough (ending with no shade) 😂. At the end of the day the day got to end, so fix it or don’t it’s your life. Great show!!

All bottoms case closed.

D is the DARK CHOCOLATE 🍫 for me. 🖤🖤🖤

the way that these men are thinking make me not want to date LMBO 🤣 🤣 WHITNEY Houston said it best .."I'd rather be alone than unhappy" lolll In my opinion, their profiled concepts are interesting lol its ok to have your taste or particular type... but these are truly interesting ...

The idea behind this is good. And that’s the extent of my positive feedback. The host needs to work on his interviewing and hosting skills cause it’s lacking. He doesn’t need to insert himself into the experience to the extent he does. Also, stop trying to force things between the participants. I feel as though the guy who does the backstage interviews could be a better host because his questions are more intelligent. Your camera angle needs to be worked on cause I don’t know what these people look like until they’re doing their backstage interviews. And hold off on the n-word cause this ish is overused. Please ask smart questions. Please also get participants who are able to articulate. If the main participant is of a particular age, then it would make sense to have a wider age range of daters. Having these little boys with attitude and whose perspective is based on fashion, is banal and vapid. Having the participants doing their own stuff and having side conversations while an interview is taking place is just ghetto and disrespectful. Edit: seeing the other similar comments is reassuring.

living for the Beyonce references from the host

The guy in the green cardigan and the dudes standing on either side of him would be the only ones I’d be interested in getting to know. The rest are walking red flags. You should be almost expect to deal with drama, gaslighting, and violence with any of the others, especially the two on both ends.

DOOOOOM, sir you fine🥰😂

Lutfy is multidimensional. 🔥 😈

Thank you for a good show...we need such shows in our community. I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 where LGBTQQIP2SA community is still taboo even though its legalized unlike other African countries at which lgbtiq is punishable by death,I feel like this guys just need to embrace LOVE ❤, they are all handsome and beautiful these hole typical clauses they put on preferences i honestly don't understand. You know loneliness and rejection is something i wouldn't wish to anyone considering the continent im in. Keep up the good work and keep the shows coming i honestly enjoy them alot ... Stay blessed 🙌

“One person can only do my hair” “Who.. Jesus..” “No. Lorraine.” Lmaooo the way i laughed that was funny

The host does it for me! 🤠

Praise god I’m in my 23 yr relationship well married now! Because the dating pull today is crazy or trying find love I would be lonely!! I’m praising god I don’t have to go thru them shenanigans

Huh?!?!? That part killed me lol

The bachelor with the flannel was fine af. lol country or not damn

Not giving up on the show, yet, BUT, this episode was...🔥🚮. This episode was a waste of the daters and audience's time. I feel they should do a better vetting of potential daters. Should have better matches. Like 1/2 them already kno eachother and why is a dater in his 40's and ballon holders in their 20's?!? Like be for real. Lastly this episode should have been called, "Shallow Ballons" pun intended 💯🤦🏾‍♂️ DO BETTER!

I find this version of this concept more entertaining than the others I've seen. Lutfy and I have a similar way of navigating people, which I think is hilarious! However, watching this reminds me that each of these people represent types of people that are walking around everyday. The violence part.... Had he not said so, I wouldn't have known, and to know that there are people who are not only habitually violent but are also proud of that aspect of themselves is WILD to me! Maybe I've been outside of the US for too long, but just as I was just thinking dating life here in Shanghai is crazy, I think I prefer this over that!

Great video maybe fit the bachelor with people that are their type
