Many first-date hopefuls arrive with clear expectations. This rings true for Eileen, a 41-year-old chiropractor from Madrid, who walks into the neighborhood restaurant and states her stance without hesitation: I am brave, I am a warrior, and I push boundaries in every way. Lately, I have been more demanding than men. Even though I’m confident at 41, I bring a wealth of experience to the table.

At the bar, Eileen surprised the show’s host, Carlos Sobera, by outlining the kind of person she hoped to meet during the visit. I came to the show seeking a man who could make me shiver from the very first moment, she said. And if there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s a lack of spark.

“Describe me, little one,” Carlos Sobera teased. “Approximately twenty centimeters,” Eileen replied. “If you don’t mind, Matías, I need to step out for a moment to visit the psychologist, but I’ll return soon,” said the presenter Matías Roure after hearing this.

Later, Eileen elaborated on why she set such specific criteria: “I have to be honest. I don’t care about kindness, gentleness, or intellect alone. I want to savor the remaining years and enjoy what life has to offer.” She added that she admires certain qualities and preferences in their size and presence.

After this exchange, Eileen anticipated meeting David, a 46-year-old osteopath and acupuncturist from Madrid. It’s often easy to find casual connections, but truly finding lasting love can be a challenge—and yet it remains possible.

“I don’t mind hair on anyone except on their body, not on their heads,” Eileen explained when she first laid eyes on David, noting her initial impression of him. She also mentioned a preference for a different physical build in a partner, indicating a desire for certain traits given her own family situation.

Settling into the table reserved for them by the restaurant, the evening became a chance to learn more about each other. Eileen didn’t hesitate to share her own perspective on what might work best for a connection: “From the start, I feel like he might be more comfortable with men.”

David replied with a candid self-check, explaining that his orientation was affirmed by his experiences over the years, while Eileen acknowledged her ongoing thoughts about attraction, including some playful discussion around preferences.

As the night drew to a close, a note of tension settled in the air during the final moments. Neither party was eager to pursue a second date outside the restaurant. “I got the sense that you might be more drawn to men,” Eileen told David as they prepared to part ways for the evening.
