More to Love

Yeah, there's this one girl (the Nanny) who cries about EVERYTHING....

I hate how he assumes that these girls were mocked all their lives, or they didn't go on many dates, or people didn't want to be their friends, all because they are heavy. I mean, did the casting call say, "If you are lonely, have never had many friends, were usually the butt of all jokes, etc, then you are our girl!" Just because someone wasn't a size 00 (like stated before) doesn't mean they were complete losers in high school. One of our most popular girls in my high school, who was head cheerleader was a heavier set girl. I just hate how he keeps making these assumptions.

Also, I hate to say this but, the one girl on here is a "Fitness Trainer" and she is on this show. While I'm sure heavier set people can do that job, I feel like for a show where being heavy is emphasized, it seems a bit of an oxymoron, at this point.

True, but Im sure the casting directors chose girls with that in mind - by taking note of the girls who leaned towards this stereotype. they cast the most self-depreciating, low-confidence, "OMG a man has never told me im pretty" women ever. and no man wants a chick lacking confidence - fat or regular sized.

Plus, listen to these chicks blabbering - the one who went on the horseback riding date just started sobbing about how shes never been able to open up to a man before, etc. then the girl before that (in the boat, at the seafood restaurant) is all like "he's giving me the best gift - hope."

ugh - every time Luke hugs them or kisses them or says something flattering, its waterworks and "OMGZ im falling for him."

theyre making not only fat women look sad, but women in general. if anything, it shows that these women are no different than regular sized women - theyre looking for validation through a man's approval.

[off feminist soapbox]

so the women who get sent home - they can't cry about being booted because theyre fat, right?
When i saw the "Fitness Trainer," my instinct was to think "is she supposed to be a mole?" mind you im just tuning in so im still feeling it out.

Hahahaha...when I said about the crying thing-I meant, the one girl, in general, cries like nobody's business...It's kind of sad.

You are right that everytime he says anything the least bit nice..it's like (wow, I'm so worthless and now this man is paying attention to me). It does make women, no matter what size, look a bit like they need a man to validate them. I agree with that. I wonder how he can possibly be attracted to women who are so self-loathing. I have to admit, this show def. holds my interest. I will be watching until the end.

I was disgusted by it. I dont like the bachelor, and thats all it is... garbage.

Kristian??! OMG I hate her. The episode last night got on my nerves sooooo bad and then he picked her to stay!! I was a little pissed because her nonstop waterworks really bug me.

I don't know why I watch this - it's kind of fascinating in its sheer awfulness. The guy is creepy and sleazy, and the women are so pathetic ... I really hope a lot of this is vicious editing to make them all look worse than they are.

Is she not also heavyset? If she is, where's the oxymoron?

This show is pathetic. All dating shows are pathetic, but this one is pathetic on a much more insecure and emotional level.

And did I hear the young lady correctly when she said the guy had a "hot body?" Yeah...I guess it's all relative and they are coming from a different frame of reference.

I agree with you 100000000000%. And I just watched once last night...wow, too much crying, way too much insecurity, and really the guy was not hot in my opinion at all. He looked way too doughy, and he was pasty to boot. I know I know, tans are bad for you, but if you're going to take off your shirt on national TV, at least use some self tanner.
