It's been a couple of years or so ago that I was watching one of those dating shows on tv (may have been called Blind Date). A guy and a gal were having a good date until he asked her if she dated much. She mentioned that she had dated Fabio for a while. As soon as her date heard it he no longer wanted to have anything to do with her. That ended the date then and there. I personally would not care that she had dated Fabio.
I'm not a bad looking guy but I'm quite sure that if Fabio and I were in the same room (and he wasn't a celebrity) he would get all of the attention from the chicks. He has the type look that many chicks can't help but go goo goo eyed over. His better looks would not have bothered me and would not have prevented the date from continuing. He doesn't seem all that intelligent so I would have figured I probably have him easily outgunned in smarts (yes, I realise it's not often a useful asset during a blind date but at least I would have thought of it as a plus for me). If I had found out Fabio has a big dick (judging from lack of bulge I don't think he does) then yes that would have put a damper on things for me. I'm pretty sure her date must not have had a big dick, as I don't think he would have became so upset if he did. He apparently didn't have anything to bring to the table to outgun Fabio with.
I think you are thinking of the show that lasted 2 seasons. It was called "Average Joe" They would have a hot girl. Then surprise her that all the men she could choose from were just "average looking men". Then later in time they surprised the average joes with "model good looking men" they had to compete with. In the end it was to come down if the girl would pick a "hot guy" or an "average joe". On both seasons they chose the model type men. The second season had the girl who was a former Pageant winner. She was the one who's ex was Fabio. The guy was so disgusted in the fact she had dated Fabio. He rejected her. Leaving her with nobody at the end.
