Don't Hate the Bachelorette's Tickle Monster

I'd take a tickle monster over an aspiring drummer any day.

ABC

On this season of The Bachelorette, there is a contestant whose occupation is listed as "tickle monster".

Yes, Jonathan, age 31 and from Florida, is a professional tickle monster according to this nationally televised reality show.

Obviously, this is not a real job. He probably got this title from the first episode when he got out of the limo to introduce himself to Rachel. Instead of telling a corny joke or reading a gag-worthy poem like most guys, he tickled Rachel, and he's been the tickle monster ever since.

Most people joke and say, "Why does Rachel keep him? He must be so creepy!". I feel ya, trust me, but in all honesty, Jonathan is my personal fave on the show right now.

First of all, the dude's got guts. I mean, while the other guys are "whabooming" and penguin waddling their way into Rachel's hearts, he broke the touch barrier (major flirting points!) and did something actually daring. And not, "are you secretly a sociopath" insane like the dude that brought a dummy. I mean, what?!? Tickling isn't weird, especially since it was just her ribs for about 1 second. I'd take a tickle over a creepy, giant, french-speaking doll any day (or a gag worthy poem, for that matter).

And he's not actually a tickle monster. That is not what he's paid to do. Actually, a quick Google search reveals Jonathan is a family doctor/pediatrician. If you ask me, that's WAY better than any of the other guy's occupations! (Professional wrestler? Male model? Aspiring drummer? Spare me, PLEASE. Rachel is an ATTORNEY AT LAW, and way too good for these guys).

And then there is the fact that Jonathan is actually handsome and polite. He hasn't been involved in any drama like Lee, Eric and DeMario have. He doesn't have that shady spiked up hair and stubble look literally every other guy on this show has (See: Lee, Bryce, Bryan, Alex, Dean, Peter and Adam). And he has a GREAT smile. Doctor salary plus great smile plus will make you feel better with tickles. What's not to love about Jonathan?

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
