I have never watched a full episode of any Bachelor show...


That being said I somehow heard about Corrine's antics and would probably DVR and watch all the scenes that she is in.

The show generally doesn't appeal to me. Overly produced with people fighting over 1 person who they either have never met or heard of, or someone they have never met.


I went to the Bachelor's website. Nick is 36 and the average woman who is on his season is only 24. WTF? Late 20s-his age would have made more sense but I guess they need ratings and old hags like me at 32 aren't desirable. I get that men who have never had kids (or who want more kids) probably do want women in their 20s since they are biologically at the right age but most educated and career oriented women have them now in their 30s and most don't encounter health problems....

The idea that women in their 30s who are single have to be crazy, cat ladies, damaged, mothers etc. is so stupid. Most women in normal cities in their 30s who who educated and have a good job are just waiting for the right person. I'm 32 and I'm dating a wonderful guy who is 38. I'm shocked that he has never been married since he is attractive, no kids, has a great personality, and is well off financially (that wasn't a must but it's nice to have...). . He said he just hadn't found the right person. I'm 32, have a good job, no kids, educated, somewhat attractive, and I just hadn't found the right person before either. Until him, I had been single for 3 years because most men I encountered were scummy or not settled into adulthood. I know it's an overly used expression but truly the years I spent single (and rarely with dates either) and lonely, were worth it to find someone like him.

Truth is most guys do want women in their 20s. What guy would pass that up?

Women in their 30s who aren't married are not married because they passed up nice guys for the jerks.

I'm not. He's got the most out of his single life that he can and now he's ready to settle down. Not everyone has to be married at 30 these days, particularly eligible guys like the guy you are dating by the sound of it.

I think late 20s is a good age for any man in his early to mid 30s to want to date. Some women are ready at 25-26 for marriage, some aren't. 24 and 23 is too young for almost all 36 years olds though.

I dated a 22 year old when I was 35... it was a little weird but the sex was great.

Agreed, I got married at 23 and my husband is only 3 years older then me.
I gave him my heart, and he gave me his fist
