Samuel Roberts as nothing unique and definitely
not suffering from mental illness.
     
    He craved physical intimacy and had issues with being
able to achieve it. She contemplated further that evening as she
penned her report. This was where it got trickier from the
counselor's perspective when assessing a man with seeming issues
creating adult relationships with women.
     
    There were too many possible reasons to count why
this most basic thing enjoyed by so many, wasn't happening for an
otherwise normal, and from her perspective, desirable man.
     
    What she ultimately was able to conclude read as

    Re: Fitness of Samuel Roberts to appear as a
contestant on “Marrying Kind”
    Background:
     
    Samuel Roberts is a 32 year-old attorney born in the
midwest but now living in the Houston, Texas area. He is unmarried
and has no current girlfriend. It is to be noted that he has not
had a girlfriend of any length for the 7 years he has lived in
Texas.
     
    Mr. Roberts presents as an above average looking
male, approximately 6 foot tall, with blondish brown hair, and
medium but fit build. His current income is approximately $100,000
per year. He has a pet toy sized dog and lives alone in an
apartment in a small building he owns in a more at-risk area of the
city of Houston.
     
    The fundamental fitness of Mr. Roberts to be a
contestant on this show is highly questionable for there exists a
fear of creating basic connections with women he finds attractive
and/or women who are considered above average physically
attractive. I do not feel he would be able to convincingly make a
female audience member in the desired target demographic feel
carnal desire for him.
     
    Using my own feelings as a guide, I was not attracted
to Mr. Roberts very soon after we met and interacted. He fidgeted,
failed to look me in the eye, and spoke quickly. He lacked apparent
sexual confidence or presence. This despite me finding him visually
appealing in my review of his photo file and upon immediate first
meeting. He is by any standard, a classically handsome man.
     
    Regarding the possibility, as originally contemplated
by your production team that he fill the role of the reserved
respectful virgin in the array ensemble arrangement of your show, I
would say this also would be highly suspect.
     
    I don't believe he could be coached at this point to
make advances toward any female on camera which could endear him to
your target audience. He lacks experience with physical intimacy
but more importantly, he lacks a deep basic confidence to follow
through with any urges regarding women. The reasons could be many,
but suffice to say he has deep seeded issues stemming from serious
childhood embarrassments.
     
    This is often seen in his recollections. On one
occasion he related that a teacher in first grade allowed his peers
to make fun of him over a budding relationship with a girl from his
class. He remembers retreating from the girl and feeling deep fear
in again possibly creating that same outcome.
     
    He often became belligerent during my battery of
questioning. An obvious issue is his deep disconnect between what
he thinks women should sense and know about his desires for them,
and what they actually do.
     
     
    This man possesses a fundamental ignorance about
women and how to create any attraction for him in them. I would say
his knowledge of attracting women rests at a 5 th grade
level in development and maturity. Worse, he has latent anger which
blocks his paths to progress. At multiple points, he became loud
and emotional as he expressed layered and repeated feelings of
victimization.
     
    I would welcome follow-up inquiries regarding Samuel
Roberts. My conclusion is he is not a suitable candidate for your
show.

    “But I like him,” Valencia replied after the report
was read to her by her agent. “He's really handsome and well
spoken. He's well mannered. You can see it in the video.
