CAT, 32, from California, is a 'bimbo' who is obsessed with plastic and works in sales. She says looking for love is hard because people don’t take her seriously and dating in LA is a mission. Cat, who has been a bimbo for over a decade, says that she attracts ‘guys who are conservative or guys who are here for the night and gone the next day’. The bimbo hopes that her date will ‘look past the looks’ as she ‘might be fake on the outside, but very real on the inside’. How will her first ever blind date go and will she hit it off with Frenchman Vincent Tissier?

00:00 I've been a bimbo for a decade now.
00:03 A bimbo is basically someone who embraces their independency
00:08 and it's all about the hyper-sexualized and hyper-feminine look.
00:13 I'm so totally excited to go on my blind date.
00:16 I can't wait till he gets here.
00:18 I'm about to rock his world!
00:20 I attract the guys that have their s*** together and they're conservative
00:25 or I attract the guys that are just here for the night and then gone tomorrow.
00:30 So there's no in-between.
00:32 So obviously with the more conservative guys, they can't take me home to mom.
00:36 It just doesn't work.
00:37 Nice to meet you.
00:39 Would you be comfortable with bringing me home to your mom?
00:42 This is my first blind date.
00:47 I am excited and nervous at the same time.
00:50 My name is Kat. I'm a medical rep.
00:52 I've been a bimbo for a decade now.
00:56 A bimbo is basically someone who embraces their independency
01:01 and it's all about the hyper-sexualized and hyper-feminine look.
01:06 I feel like there's levels to being a bimbo.
01:10 There's the old school bimbo and then there's the new age bimbo.
01:14 So for the old school bimbo, I feel like girls want to look more hyper-sexualized
01:19 and on top of that, a lot of them like to do [bleep] work
01:23 and they like to find sugar daddies.
01:25 But I feel like I'm more of a new age because I don't possess all of those qualities, maybe half.
01:32 A lot of us now, we're actually very educated.
01:36 I have a college degree in business management and I use my degree.
01:40 I hope he looks past my looks and wants to get to know me better as a person.
01:45 I feel like there's a lot more to my looks.
01:49 And I might be fake on the outside, but I'm actually very real on the inside.
01:54 I'm Vincent. I come from Paris.
01:59 I'm 39 years old.
02:02 I'm an actor and I'm working at Christian Dior.
02:07 I don't have any particular type, but I like blonde, brunette.
02:13 I hope there will be a good feeling, a good vibe.
02:18 I'm so totally excited to go on my blind date. I can't wait till he gets here.
02:23 I'm about to rock his world.
02:25 Hi, I'm Kat.
02:28 Nice to meet you.
02:29 Nice to meet you.
02:30 Nice to meet you.
02:31 I've been waiting for you.
02:33 Do you live in the area?
02:35 I live in Marina del Rey.
02:37 Oh my god, I love Marina.
02:39 I used to go out there to hang out at some of the restaurants.
02:43 Oh really?
02:44 I used to have friends that live out there too, so we'd go out there and hang out.
02:47 Yeah, it's cool.
02:48 I see that you're French.
02:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
02:52 I'm part French. I don't speak French. My mom is part French.
02:57 You're from California?
02:59 Yeah, I'm from California. California native.
03:01 I grew up and was raised in Orange County.
03:05 I've been in California for two years.
03:07 Oh, where did you live before California?
03:09 Oh, Paris, yeah.
03:10 Oh, so you just came here from... Oh, that's cool.
03:13 Yeah, two years ago.
03:14 Oh my god, so foreign. I love it.
03:16 Have you been in Europe?
03:18 No.
03:19 No? Oh, you should. A lot of countries in Europe.
03:22 I have a question though. Do you think that if I travel out of the country, people would accept me for the way that I look?
03:32 I get weird stares. They look at me like they've never seen anything like me before.
03:38 Some of my girlfriends would walk behind me if we're out. They'll be like, "Oh my gosh, Kat, you don't even know. Look at these people. They're looking at you like you're from outer space or from a different planet."
03:48 Do you think I'll get kidnapped or something?
03:50 No, I don't think so, but there are some places in Europe, even for a girl in general, you have to be careful.
03:58 I've watched too many scary movies where they do that... What is it called? Hostel? Do you remember the movie Hostel where they kidnap you and then they cut up your limbs?
04:10 Oh, thank you.
04:11 Cheers.
04:14 Cheers.
04:15 To meeting new people.
04:16 Wow, it's hot.
04:20 I think I'm going to take a little bathroom break. Too much coffee.
04:25 Yeah, sure.
04:27 I'll be right back.
04:28 Okay.
04:29 I think he's really sweet. For sure. He's super smart. He came in a little bit shy, but I thought that was kind of cute.
04:36 Are you attracted to him?
04:38 I think he's good looking. I just, I can't really answer that because I don't know him that well yet. So, you know, I would have to dig a little bit deeper.
04:47 I'm back.
04:51 Oh, cool.
04:52 What kind of girls do you usually date or what's your type?
04:56 Oh, my type. My ex-girlfriend was Mexican. What is your type?
05:00 I don't really have a type right now. There's a lot of fake people. I might look fake on the outside, but I'm not on the inside. I promise. I'm a sweetheart.
05:07 Like, my nickname is Sweetheart Cat.
05:10 I don't know the story of dates. It's complicated because I don't know what's wrong in the city, but it's hard.
05:15 Yeah, people are fake.
05:17 Fake.
05:18 Yeah, they want to...
05:19 Hypocritical sometimes.
05:20 Yep, they're judgmental. But here's the thing. See, that's the thing about like, I don't relate to those people.
05:26 Oh, my goodness. Being a bimbo has affected my dating life so much. I haven't had a real boyfriend in a decade.
05:36 Let me just start with the guys that I attract. It's really funny.
05:40 It's either I attract the guys that have their s*** take out there and they're conservative, or I attract the guys that are just here for the night and then gone tomorrow.
05:51 So there's no in between. So obviously with the more conservative guys, you know, they can't take your home to mom.
05:57 So they're like, "Well, listen, I love my mom. I'm a mama's boy. Like, I can't take you home. Sorry."
06:01 Would you be comfortable with bringing me home to your family?
06:05 Yeah, yeah, of course. Why? You look good.
06:08 Because what if they judge me? I don't know if your parents are conservative.
06:11 No, no, no, no. I think my sisters, my family, you look good. You are nice.
06:18 Because some people think, of course, you have an appearance. And sometimes you are not smart.
06:27 But no, it's not true. After they get to know you, "Oh, she's smart. Oh, she's nice."
06:33 Yeah.
06:34 And they are open-minded.
06:36 I like that. Actually, that's a really good response.
06:39 Because I like that you said that even though I look like this, you can tell that I'm actually educated and smart.
06:48 And I have a college degree. If you were from here, because I grew up here, it would have been a different story.
06:54 Because I feel like if you were a random person that grew up here in California, you would have responded differently.
07:02 How would you feel if I decided to get more plastic surgery to look more like a bimbo?
07:08 For me, it's okay. If you are happy like this, I would say think a little bit about that.
07:21 And after, yeah, if you feel happy like this, do it. And for me, no, it's not a problem.
07:29 Nice. I like that. Because a lot of guys, especially the guys that I've actually dated in the past, they were always trying to change me.
07:37 So that's why my relationships didn't work out.
07:41 So I feel like the next person I date, I want them to support me and like me for who I am and also not try to change me.
07:50 That's a solid answer. Thank you for that. Thank you.
07:53 I think the date went well.
07:57 When I saw her, I said to myself, "Oh, she's pretty."
08:03 After I started to talk, "Oh, she looks really nice. I want to get to know her more."
08:10 Will you see Vincent again?
08:12 Yeah, I'm down to see Vincent again. I think you're cool. And I think that we have some things in common.
08:18 And I would love to get to know you better.
08:20 Same for me. I would like to get to know more, for sure.
08:24 Has this dating experience taught you anything?
08:26 It taught me to look outside the box a little bit because I've never dated a foreign man.
08:32 And I think this is kind of cool because it makes me feel like maybe I should just travel more often and meet people that are not from here.
