Exploring Love: Challenges in Season 2 of Love is Blind: Sweden
The eagerly awaited second season of Love is Blind: Sweden debuted on Netflix with its initial four episodes on March 13, 2025. This captivating reality series invites hopeful singles from varied backgrounds to find their ideal partner without ever seeing them, relying solely on emotional connections. However, emotional sparks did not ignite for everyone, especially when physical appearances came into play.
One such example is Ola, who faced difficulty accepting his fiancée Milly’s appearance, specifically her short hair. Throughout episode 4, aptly titled “Just Want to Escape,” Ola candidly expressed his feelings about Milly’s look during a confessional segment.
“One thing with women that I’ve gotten excited about before is hair. Having long, beautiful hair. My body reacts to short hair as more of a masculine trait, or more towards being a male thing,”Ola shared.
As Ola navigated his journey, he expressed a sense of trust in the “universe”to guide him, yet he admitted to a fear of feeling overwhelmed by his attractions, leading him to contemplate escape. Later, he discussed his apprehensions regarding Milly’s hairstyle openly, placing their relationship in an uncomfortable position.
Ola’s Struggle: A Discussion on Appearance and Attraction
Ola and Milly first met during their engagement ceremony, where his initial delight was palpable as he laid eyes on her in person. He offered compliments, including praise for her hairstyle, which pleased Milly, who initially feared his reaction.
“No, it’s really nice. Shorter than mine,”Ola reassured her.
The couple seemed to establish a connection as they laughed and enjoyed discussing their feelings for one another. Milly sensed that Ola was genuinely captivated by her, while he described feeling a warm connection upon seeing her.
However, their bond faced challenges during a romantic getaway in Crete designed for other couples in the experiment. While preparing for an intimate evening, Ola took the opportunity to define attraction from his perspective, emphasizing that it extends far beyond mere physical appearance and is, at its core, about emotional connection.
Despite his convictions about emotional ties, Ola admitted that he has a specific attraction to long hair, an attribute he noted was lacking in Milly. This led to further discussion about external appearances.
During a heartfelt conversation with Milly, Ola delved into their similar upbringings, pointing out the evolution of their respective hairstyles.
“Well, that was when we were like four or five. But it actually wasn’t our decision,”Milly explained.
Despite her attempts with hair extensions, Milly concluded that they weren’t for her. Ola found himself laughing, stating that while he typically looks past physical traits, “long thick hair”holds a special significance for him.
As Milly emphasized her thick hair, Ola reiterated his confusion about her current style. He candidly shared that his reservations stem from his “internal programming”rather than anything wrong with Milly herself, reminiscing about his mother’s beautiful hair and how it shaped his perceptions of femininity.
“I’m processing it. My body is still growing accustomed to it and, you know, hopefully the opposite will happen and I’ll feel, ‘Damn. Wow, it’s lovely,”Ola expressed.
When Milly inquired whether he could ever consider her beautiful, Ola admitted he wasn’t there yet, adding tension to an already complicated dynamic.
