Winning our hearts season after season.

The 5 Types Of Guys You Meet While Watching "The Bachelorette"
ABC

Tis the season . . . ABC's perennial favorite and unmistakable guilty pleasure "The Bachelorette" is back. Obsessed viewers, including myself, have been anxiously awaiting this season's premiere after the heartbreaking finale of last season's "The Bachelor." Fans around the globe are thankful that the reign of Arie Luyendyk and his cringe-worthy behavior is finally over.

Fans were equally excited with the announcement of Becca Kufrin as the new Bachelorette, which honestly came as no surprise to "The Bachelorette's" cult-like following. Do not worry Becca, we all knew you deserved better than the needy, attention-seeker Arie who ultimately broke your heart.

No matter the season, or whether it's Becca, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Joelle Fletcher or one of the many other ladies who we have gotten to know over the years, I pay close attention to the bachelors who try to win over the bachelorettes' hearts. What makes each one different . . . what do they have in common? Interestingly, I have found that many of the bachelors have quite a few similarities from season-to-season.

I have analyzed this season's bachelors and determined the most consistent features that seem to carry on with every season of "The Bachelorette." Here is my guide . . . bring on the men!

1. The athlete

Former football players or athletic trainers seem to be one of the most popular choices for consideration on "The Bachelorette." They are so commonplace that I cannot remember all who I have gotten to know while watching the show over the past few years. Maybe it is their charismatic personalities, All-American good looks, or quiet sensitivity that wins our hearts, but whatever it is, athletes are always a fan favorite. I will say, this season's former football player, Colton, has won my heart already. Remember Jordan Rodgers? He is a former professional football player and currently engaged to former Bachelorette, Joelle Fletcher.


Just gonna leave this here!

2. The eccentric career

During the last season of "The Bachelorette," one of the bachelors listed his career as "Canadian." Canadian . . . is that a career? How about "Social Media Participant" which is also listed as a career by another creative bachelor?

Every season there is always a handful of men with a career you did not know could even be considered as one. The one this season that caught my attention was a "Colognoisseur." Who knew you could turn your cologne obsession into a career? Speaking of careers in general, imagine having to ask your boss for time off and this show being the reason why. Awkward!

3. The risk-takers

This season's premiere introduced us to a man in a chicken costume . . . how unreal? I give major props to the men who have the courage to meet their possible future wife in an outlandish costume on national television. And to those who hate on these types of guys, it seems to catch the Bachelorette's attention so maybe you should learn a thing or two from them.


4. Pretty boys

I swear "The Bachelorette" casts some men just for laughs and drama. The show keeps these men around until the last few episodes, but they never seem to end up being "The One." We know these types of contestants from past seasons as Chad from "The Bachelorette" or Krystal and Corinne from "The Bachelor." There is a lot of drama but not a lot of substance.

The pretty boy that caught my attention on this week's premiere was the one and only male model, Jordan. He kind of reminds me of a Ken doll (no offense). I have never met or seen a boy who could only keep a conversation if it was fashion related, that is, until this week's episode of "The Bachelorette." By the way, your grey suit did not make you stand out Jordan.

Do not get me wrong, I love watching the pretty boys that are cast on the show, but sometimes I just do not understand them.


5. The sweethearts

Dear Blake . . . you have won my heart with your kind spirit, good looks, and how you paid attention to and connected with Becca. If only all men were like you. He is the epitome of every girls' dream husband, I promise you.

Every season, there are a few men like Blake who seem extremely down to earth compared to the other contestants. And let me tell you, these are my favorite ones.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
