So I am sure we have all noticed that Colton Underwood, the bachelor, is a virgin. No, it is not as weird as it sounds. A majority of the first and second episodes of his season of "The Bachelor" seem to have put a little too much focus on that small fact.
One of my favorite moments from the second episode of this season of "The Bachelor" was when Hannah B. told Colton that she admired him because he wanted to be in love when he gave himself away. She even mentioned how she had always told herself she was going to wait until marriage, but she let some boy get the best of her, and she has felt guilty ever since.
So to all the people who think it is strange for Colton to be a virgin or any man at that, you are wrong. If anything, it makes Colton more of a man that he wants to wait for love rather than share something so intimate with someone who does not mean anything to him.
But for a very short time in the season's second episode, Colton was able to talk about his foundation, the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation. This non-profit organization aims to help research and support for those living with cystic fibrosis, like Colton's cousin, Harper.
This is something that is very important to Colton, yet the show rarely showcases it.
This is a case where the media can do something really good and promote a way to help others, mainly children. But every talk show Colton appears on, the host asks him something about his virginity because that is all people care about. It is not weird that he is/was a virgin, and you should never treat anyone who is a virgin the way Colton has been treated.
ABC needs to showcase how much he cares about his foundation and the people it is helping. Colton is partnering with AffloVest, a company that manufactures a physician prescribed treatment option for respiratory therapy, to give away one AffloVest to one CF patient in every state.
This is ABC's chance to help out the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation and those suffering from cystic fibrosis, but instead, they are focusing on how he is not a man because he has not had sex yet.
If you want to support the foundation, you can shop their apparel here. If you know someone who has cystic fibrosis and would benefit from an AffloVest, nominate them for a free one delivered by Colton.
To make a general donation to Colton, who's certainly more than "just a virgin," donations are accepted on his website, too.
