I am almost positive that I am still in shock over the finale of "The Bachelor." I made the mistake of getting too invested in the show and now I almost feel heartbreak. Besides the obvious reasons that the finale presented to us, here are 10 Reasons why I will never be on "The Bachelor."
1. The guy literally has multiple girlfriends at once
OK, does anyone seriously not ever think about this. These girls date a guy that has 30 other girlfriends. That is not OK. Eventually, relationships form and grow stronger, so it’s not like he would be just "talking," to a bunch of girls. These relationships become serious. Why would anyone like to be in a relationship with a guy that could possibly propose to someone else on the same day that he breaks up with them? "Sister Wives," does not come as much of a shock if you think how The Bachelor changes the standards for dating.
2. Make-out sessions
Is it just me or does everyone else cringe when Arie goes from woman to woman just to make out. Most of us would not be OK with this happening to us, but yet we watch it (myself included). When it happens in real life, we are appalled. When it happens on tv, we call it entertainment. We should not let Hollywood be allowed to set the standards for love just because of their name.
3. I can guarantee I would fall “in love.”
You're probably asking if that is such a bad thing, but hear me out. Let’s say I go on 'The Bachelor,' and I actually ignore all of the other quirks that aggravate me. I know myself and as a girl it would be extremely easy to fall in love when I am eating bonbons under the stars, sitting on the Eiffel tower. I would get caught up in the fairytale moment and be completely smitten by the current bachelor. That’s not love, though, that’s lust. Not necessarily lust for the guy, but lust for the life that is being presented to you. If I’m serious about finding a partner in life, then I’m gonna need our dates to be more realistic.
4. You can literally re-watch your fiancé's old dates
Alright, this would be tough. In a generation where we creep on anyone and everyone, it would be very difficult not to re-watch every single episode. If I was engaged and then got the opportunity to watch how my man acted with the other women then I would. I’m not saying it’s the best thing to do, but I would 100 percent do it. Ultimately, it would most likely wreck me.
5. My mom would be watching
This one makes me cringe. I love my mom, but I would never invite her on my dates. My mom would have full access to watch every single date. This is not OK with me.
6. It would take a lot for me to cash in my 401 (k) at age 25
Does anyone realize what these girls give up financially? I would feel intense pressure to always look good, but in no circumstances would I sacrifice financially just at the shot of finding love with one guy. It's rumored that some of these girls cash in their 401(k) before they appear on the show. I would just rather not do that. What about the girls leaving night one? They are leaving a little discouraged and a whole lot of broke.
7. The Pressure
The pressure to look good, pressure to speak eloquently, and pressure to be liked by the guy, the girls, and America. That’s what I call a ton of unnecessary pressure, my friends.
8. I don’t drink, but I probably would start
OK, so I’m actually joking on this one. But it is said that they have unlimited amounts of alcohol. Why would I put myself in a stressful situation where I have access to an unlimited amount of alcohol. All it takes is one incident, one too many drinks, and my reputation across America is put into question. You can count me out.
9. Team No Sleep
So, apparently, there are nights when you get barely any sleep. In college? OK, I get team no sleep. Just had a baby? Now that makes sense. However, "team no sleep" in order to film a show that may or may not help you find the love of your life. No, thank you.
10. There are better ways to date
