Arie Luyendyk Jr. Proved That Maturity Doesn't Always Come With Age

You are the low life dirt that normal girls have to deal with every day.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. Proved That Maturity Doesn't Always Come With Age

I really thought this year’s bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr., would end up being a decent guy. I mean, he was on "The Bachelorette" five years ago and got his heart broke. I had watched him on Emily's season and loved him, I even follow him on social media. When he set foot on Emily's season I knew who he was as soon as he introduced himself being a racing fan. I was for sure a fan.

So, my assumption was that he could handle this experience being on the opposite end of it. On top of that, he is old enough to be some of the contestants' Sugar Daddy. He is 36, so there is some assumed maturity. He rolled through the season and wasn’t too horrible. There were not any real jerk moves until the end. Before the finale, he did good, until he got really obsessed with Bekah M’s age. This I feel like he could have handled a lot better than he did.

Then we get to the finale. First of all, he tells Lauren AND Becca that he loves them. Which especially in "The Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" is a BIG no – no. I do not believe that you can love two people at the same time anyhow. So, it goes on as it usually does. The first woman out of the car is the one who gets her heart broke and dumped.

This was Lauren, which did not shock me because she seemed very cold and not very into him. She stood there and spilled her heart out as he made no eye contact and his body language was very off to her. Not exactly a great move to let her stand there for what seemed like 10 minutes. I mean, it is not hateable that he did this, but he could have stopped her. He sends her away crying and confused, like normal.

Then Becca comes. Becca does the same of laying her feelings out, obviously not knowing she is the second one to see him and has much better odds. As she is putting her heart on the time he has better body language towards her, but he could have made a lot more eye contact. When my husband proposed, that whole day when he wasn’t driving he didn’t break eye contact. But then after Becca gets done he is so sweet and kind and proposes. In the video and pictures, they show afterward it looks like they are just where they should be.

Then Chris Harrison has to drop the bomb that the drama is nowhere near over, and it is the most dramatic ending. Then for over half an hour, we had to watch Arie damage a girl who obviously loves him beyond words. You see, the cruel part is, he set her up and then he wanted to film it! She thought they were at this gorgeous house for time together since they had been apart. Then he drops this on her, and she is obviously just shocked and very upset. She walks away from him, which seemed to be so she could keep her cool. He eventually walks after her and knocks on the door asking if she is ok.

Mind you, he knocks on that door like he is getting ready to help a person who is being sick. She had clearly told him to go away, and he keeps up on it. She goes out to talk again, which he did not deserve. He babbles on AGAIN. She is clearly upset with her head in her hands. He sits there with his hands in his lap just looking at her. Becca again asks multiple times for him to leave. After what seemed like the millionth time, he finally left the poor girl alone.

Not only was it cruel for Arie to propose to Becca but to make a long TV piece out of dumping her because of his jumped decision was a total jerk move. Mind you he could have told both women he wanted to date both of them after the show in a more normal setting. No one was forcing him to propose. There have been many people on the shot that do not propose. It is not a rule that they have to. Then part two rolls around and he goes running back to Lauren who for some reason takes him back. Her behavior was suspicious, but I’ll save that for another time.

Arie then feels like it is ok to propose to Lauren, thank god with a different ring, right in front of Becca. Sure, Becca said she was doing ok, but if they were so concerned about how she felt, he wouldn’t have done this. Arie must’ve been in it for the Neil Lane ring.

So, congratulations Arie, you are the low life dirt that normal girls have to deal with every day.

Shame on your for unnecessarily breaking hearts and making a wonderful woman go through this. Your ‘maturity’ is so disappointing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
