Ah! I can't believe it! Okay, but before I finish biting my fingernails and go ahead and read it, I'll comment on this post. <br /><br />I really liked J.P. & her! But I'll admit that I came in on this season late. I keep trying to get off Bachelor, but then that damn Chris Harrison reels me back in, and this time he got me w/ the whole Bentley thing---what a scum bag (Bentley, not Chris). Anyhow, what I liked about JP for her was that he was the one she automatically trusted with her Bentley secret, and he automatically had the best reaction imaginable. <br /><br />Who was your pick for her? <br /><br />Oh, and in answer to your question...er, no, I actually can't think of a guy my friends warned me off.Nicki Elsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412032684225126973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-58621485088380207942011-10-03T06:42:03.474-04:002011-10-03T06:42:03.474-04:00I watched that show once and did get sucked into i...I watched that show once and did get sucked into it!

But I had come out of the relationship with the man I have loved all my life, who was a volatile Sicilian (not dangerous, just a bit over the top in self-expression, as am I.) I thought I was improving in my selextion. He was not an alcoholic OR a drug addict. He was not violent. And he was not my Italian.<br /><br />That was the trouble. I married a bunch of "He is nots" rather than really looking at the "He IS" of it all.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-29948737010044484402011-10-02T13:00:59.823-04:002011-10-02T13:00:59.823-04:00All I can say is that the heart knows what it want...All I can say is that the heart knows what it wants.<br /><br />And sometimes what it wants is a good swift jolt of reality. :-)<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-15326938798322091402011-10-02T11:57:30.160-04:002011-10-02T11:57:30.160-04:00To both your questions, yes!

I even married one for a while. I suppose a shrink could come up with a whole lot of pathologies that might have caused it, but I think we are genetically predisposed to fall for the alpha male--the guy who could protect our foremothers from sabertooth tigers and marauding bands of Neanderthals. <br /><br />I think that primitive force is what fuels romance novels. They're about finding an alpha male who can be tamed and/or has some hidden beta characteristics. It's a way of acting out that primitive need for the tough, bad dude.Anne R.

I stopped at Ali and Roberto's season, if you saw that, so I haven't seen any of the newer ones. I don't care for reality TV in general, (and they always bring the scumbag back! Always!) but these series do give insight into what makes people choose the partners that they do. Some participants are more shallow than others, though... *sigh*Shelley Slyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981620646634240160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-15137348641967733312011-10-01T09:27:21.931-04:002011-10-01T09:27:21.931-04:00Oh, I dated my share of losers back in college.

Like I used to be obsessed with American Idol, but I don't listen to music. And American's Next Top Model was another favorite and I'm just the most unlikely person to be a fan of that show. I watched The Bachelor a few times but never the Bachelorette.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.com
