Ramses Prashad and Marissa George were initially a fan-favorite couple, but the more fans got to know Ramses, the more they started to hate him. And he can’t really have any complaints because Ramses did seem like a fake personality pretending to be charming and doing his best to make himself look like a good guy, which he unquestionably failed. You just need to take one glance at the official ‘Love Is Blind’ subreddit to know where his reputation lies after the conclusion of Season 7.
With the finale releasing on October 23, 2024, Ramses has once again found himself in the spotlight for a variety of reasons. Besides being a talking point for breaking Marissa’s heart, fans can’t stop speculating about his undergarments, too. And now, he’s at the center of the rumors surrounding his sexuality. Is Ramses Prashad gay? That’s the latest question fans are asking about him on the internet.
Love Is Blind: Is Ramses Prashad Gay?
Many ‘Love Is Blind’ fans are convinced that Ramses from Season 7 is gay. Some Reddit users think he gives off bisexual energy, even in his official LIB photo. But, where exactly does this speculation originate from? Well, there’s a case to be made that Ramses Prashad might be hiding his true sexual orientation, especially when you note his mannerisms and style choices (like wearing tight pink pants), as well as several other behaviors throughout the show that you would typically associate with being gay or fluid.
On Reddit, fans speculate that Ramses is most likely not straight given his appearance, speech, and how emotionally detached he appears with his female partner. Several users claim he might be repressing his true self. But does this argument carry genuine legs? To best answer this, we need to analyze his entire personality first.
As you might surely be aware, Ramses is one of the most loathed characters in Season 7 of ‘Love Is Blind’ since most viewers perceive him to be phony. Moreover, his behavior and attitude, especially in his treatment of his partner, Marissa, have not done him any favors. He is quite clearly immature, selfish, insensitive, and full of himself, which is not even an exaggeration.
To truly understand the kind of person he is, you only need to look at his lack of support when Marissa mentioned she doesn’t want to take birth control due to its negative physical and emotional side effects. That’s not all—he refused to wear a condom despite Marissa’s request, which clearly shows he prioritizes his own needs and desires over his partner’s well-being. Respecting the other person’s decision is certainly not in his dictionary.
Furthermore, Rames has never shown a hint of care for Marissa’s comfort, even when she has expressed that she feels sick or overstimulated. You’d expect him to be understanding, but instead, he continued to pressure her for intimacy, even rubbing her when she clearly wanted space. It would not be unfair to call him manipulative and inconsiderate, and the majority of fans are in agreement that Marissa deserved someone better. Unfortunately, Marissa seemed too naive to perceive the most obvious flaws in her partner. Either that or love is actually blind.
Moving on to his “progressive” views, they seem nothing more than a front. He’s performative, using woke language and ideals, but only truly applying them where it suits him best or is most convenient to himself. Ramses’ behavior during moments of vulnerability with Marissa shows that, instead of being thoughtful and compassionate, he is primarily concerned with how situations affect him.
Naturally, all of these personality traits have also raised speculations about Ramses’ sexuality, with many noticing him exhibiting behaviors you’d normally associate with being closeted or fluid. His fashion choices, speech patterns (such as his overuse of the word “like”), and how he interacts with other men on the show are believed to be evidence of Ramses Prashad being gay. There’s an argument to be made that Ramses is more comfortable around men than women when you take into account moments such as when he was rubbing his friend’s shoulder during a tux fitting.
Basically, Ramses Prashad is disingenuous, so there’s every possibility he’s hiding not just aspects of his personality, but also his sexuality. However, for now, we can neither confirm nor deny if Ramses is gay. Some say he’s bisexual, but we can’t confirm or deny that, either.
What Happened to Ramses Prashad and Marissa George on ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 7?
Ramses and Marissa brought complex real-world issues into their relationship dynamic, notably relating to the military service and differing ideologies, something you don’t often see on ‘Love Is Blind’ on Netflix. They made a strong connection in the pods in the early episodes, which led to a joyful engagement and passionate moments during their honeymoon in Hawaii. However, their relationship was not the same after they made their way back to D.C. and began to confront some significant differences.
One of their major disagreements revolved around their views on the military. Marissa, a Navy veteran, had mixed feelings about her time in the service, and Ramses, who’s pretty vocal against American imperialism, found it difficult to accept her past. They worked through some of their differences, even when it came to bigger stuff like having kids and using birth control. But as time went on, their physical intimacy started fading, and Ramses began questioning if the relationship was really working.
In the weeks leading up to their wedding, Ramses had a sudden change of heart after a conversation with his family, making him rethink the whole relationship. Marissa was totally caught off guard and heartbroken when he suddenly changed his mind. Even though she tried to find a middle ground—suggesting they could slow down or stay engaged—Ramses stood his ground and called it off for good.
Speaking with Vulture after the season finale, Marissa revealed how shocked she was about the breakup, especially since Ramses had kept reassuring her he was all in right up until the end. Even though she was ready to compromise, Ramses had already decided it was over, leaving Marissa heartbroken and questioning everything since he never provided a clear reason for breaking up. She said Ramses talked about losing his sense of peace and feeling off about their vibe, but she’s still not sure what the real reason was. However, their story did not end there.
Months after their breakup, Marissa George tried to rekindle the romance with her ex-fiancé Ramses Prashad, but her efforts were unsuccessful. In an interview with Glamour, she revealed that she struggled to move on for six months after their breakup, so she decided to start communicating with Ramses again. During one particular phone call, Marissa believed for the first time that they might get back together, but Ramses was feeling none of it and rejected her proposal to try again.
The former couple will reunite during the upcoming ‘Love Is Blind’ reunion episode on Netflix, airing on October 30.
