There aren’t many girls I know that don’t spend their Monday nights binge eating ice cream and drinking wine with their girlfriends while watching "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette." After watching this show for several years, I have come to the conclusion that this show gives us all mixed emotions and false hope on what we should expect from life in general.
1. I hate to admit it but you will never ever have 28 guys chasing after you. As awesome as that would be, that will be one dream that might never come true.
2. Being able to afford the wardrobe and amount of cocktail party dresses is probably financially impossible.
3. You will probably never be able to travel to that many exotic countries and islands in a matter of three months.
4. Coming from any girl with experience in relationships – opening up is hard, but imagine having to open up to a stranger in three months and potentially being engaged in the end. After multiple failed relationships, I think it will take a little more than three months of getting to know someone before knowing whether or not you’re ready to spend the rest of your life with them.
5. Obviously living with multiple girls, there will be drama. But how can girls be friends when they’re all fighting for love from the same guy? Honestly, if the feelings are real, I think it’s impossible.
6. Having a camera crew plus multiple other girls around isn’t an accurate representation of what your future relationship will hold.
7. How is it possible that almost every guy that goes on this show has a perfectly sculpted body? I wish every guy that crossed my path looked like that.
8. You’re only seeing your future significant other after you're spending hours getting ready for a date. If you think about it, every girl shown on camera is wearing some sort of makeup, because once again, there is a camera filming their every move.
9. When it comes to hometown dates, how do you explain to your family that the guy you’re letting them meet is also dating three other girls? Yes, it’s part of the process but how will your dad feel about that?
10. You’re fighting a losing battle. You’re competing with 28 other girls for one guy. In the end, regardless, this one guy walks away happy and in love, when you’re not guaranteed to be the lucky girl that this guy walks away with. Where does that leave you? With another broken heart.
As entertaining as the show may be, it's never going to happen. We basically just love to hate "The Bachelor."
