Still A Bachelor

I know this is last week’s news, but my blog was shut down for a few repairs and I haven’t been able to talk about this buzz-worthy issue. So . . . how about that Brad Womack, “The Bachelor” who rejected BOTH women in the final rose ceremony? Poor guy. Surrounded by 25 young, beautiful and adoring women for six weeks, with nothing better to do than soak half-naked in Jacuzzis and make out with the woman du jour. I can’t imagine Thanksgiving was a happy time for him, coming alone to the dinner table, one soon-to-be member of the Womack family simply nonexistent. Brad was excoriated last week by women all over the world, blogging and e-mailing and sniping at work with all the other angry women about what a jerk he is. Click here to read article.

But you know what? I think he’s courageous. I have to give him credit for not buckling to the pressure of being on TV and following his heart in the end. And that very selective heart of his said, “I’m just not in love with ANY of the women I have met!” Yes, it was a letdown, and yes, he broke the hearts of two very hopeful women. But at least he was honest. I’d rather find out from him now, during prime time, that he is dumping both women rather than reading about it in People magazine six months from now. (By the way . . . did you hear that Mary, of the “Mary and Byron” bachelor hookup, was arrested for punching him in the face? And that was one of the show’s success stories, too!

How would you like it if someone said to you: “OK, here are 25 gorgeous, successful men and you MUST pick one of them to marry after six weeks.” That’s a lot of pressure! But you know, I certainly would enjoy the elimination process, how about you?

All I can say is, picky, picky, picky.
THE MAN
I would rather know now than later. However, I would love to be on the show but they don't take single woman in there mid thirties. However, I would give up everything to be on that show. Or how about just a date with a normal guy.

I think I'd have to pass on that opportunity. Sure, it would be great to have 25 guys showering me with roses and doing all in their power to win my affection, but that's just it. They'd be trying to WIN it - I'd merely be the prize at the end of the game. The contestants would probably end up being completely insincere. How can one possibly accelerate the process of a LIFETIME into a mere 6 weeks? To me, it's WORTH the wait to find that special someone. It may take 6 weeks or 6 years or 20, but you just have to look in the right places (hint: he's probably NOT in that club or in the bar). As for Brad, I wish him luck in finding his TRUE love. I agree that his walking away from it all was probably the best decision for all involved. Good for him!
