Married At First Sight’s Dino and Melissa failed to make a strong connection on Tuesday night’s episode, yet after a chat with her friends, Melissa decided she’s going to give it a go.
But what do the experts think? According to body language expert Louise Mahler, the couple don’t have much of a chance.
“They try so hard, don’t they! Everyone wants it to work in the beginning. This kind of mismatch, however, will wear thin over time. Is Dino there to find a partner, or be a healer?” questions Louise.
“For Dino, first, there is haircut that would send anyone running. However, my major concern is Melissa. With Melissa, I realise that this is a very stressful episode, however, these traits seem habitual,” she adds.
“Firstly, let’s think about her eyes. If they are not shut, they are fluttering shut or barely open. I wondered if it was a psychological blockage to what is going on around her.”
“Secondly is her upper body tension and a posture that seems to want to curl her up in a foetal position with her shoulders high and her head hunched down on her chest. Combine that with the closed eyes and you have a complete disconnection.
“In the photos, you can see her hands high or her shoulders raised and his caring and concerning look towards her,” Louise adds.
“I see a touch of pity or dislike – shown in the way their bodies are not facing the same direction and his mouth is tight with his teeth clenched – his eyes are wide and piercing. I would be flabbergasted if he puts up with this for long.”
Not looking good then!
