  1. Not at all. One of my friends recruits financial analysts and she can't even balance a checkbook. The key is to have a strong marketing/human resources background. You are given a list of skills and requirements to look for and you simply find candidates that meet those criteria, It is odd that Bennet did so poorly during the classroom challenge. Even if it were all for show, why would anyone want to look like an idiot when it comes to answering questions that even a 7-year-old could answer? The funny thing is Bennet earned a perfect score (800) in the math portion of his SATs, so he has a strong math background. Im not sure why he couldn't solve those basic math problems.
  2. Clare may look even better in person. Who knows? I've seen very handsome men married to downright homely women who had nasty personalities to boot, so I don't see why these men wouldn't be instantly attracted to Clare. She is definitely beautiful and she is in good physical shape. Many women her age and even those in their 20s don't have nearly as good of a body. Her issue is her personality, but a bad personality won't stop a man from marrying her.
  3. Lol, no it isn't. There are people in their 50s who date for a couple of years before getting married and you think it is too long too wait for someone in their 30s?? Most people are not going to feel comfortable getting engaged and married within their first year of dating. It's fantastic if that happens, but it is not the norm. Men, in particular, are very conscious of the financial consequences of divorce, so many of them are reluctant to marry in the first place. Insisting on being married in the first year of dating will scare away most sane men. Two years is a bit more palatable for both men and women. If someone wants to be married within a couple of months of dating, then their best bet is date someone who is very religious.....or become a bachelor/bachelorette contestant.
  4. What I don't understand is why Clare previously had a history of being attracted to abusive men. Many psychologists claim the these type of women had a poor relationship or nonexistent relationship with their father. However, it seems Clare had a loving relationship with her father before he passed away and speaks very highly of him. Despite having a positive male role model, she is attracted to toxic men. Why is that? It's not just Clare. I've seen this play out in real life. I've seen countless women with amazing fathers ending up with toxic men and they choose to stay with their abusers even when every resource is offered to help them leave and get back on their feet.
  5. Obviously you didn't read my post. I said after 25, fertility already decreases significantly. That is biology. Many women in their 20s already have fertility issues and cannot have children naturally. Would you consider a 28 year old woman to be old and undesirable since her fertility has dropped significantly? If a man is serious and wants kids, they are not going to shy away from a woman who wants kids immediately. The problem is when a woman in her late 30s pursues men who are in their early 30s or younger (i.e. what Clare is doing). These men usually do not want to commit immediately and have kids, which is understandble. They are better off dating 21 year old women who are more willing to waste their youth dating the same guy for 10 years waiting for a ring when the man has zero intention of marriage. A woman in her 30s is less likely to put up with nonsense and will walk after 2 years if there isn't even an engagement.
  6. So a woman is old if she wants kids, but may struggle to have them? Wow... There are many women in their 20s who are struggling to become pregnant naturally. Then they have the added difficulty of carrying the pregnancy to full term. Are these women in their 20s "old" because they have low fertility? A woman's fertility sharply decreases after 25, so would a 28 year old woman be too old in your eyes since she is significantly less fertile (statistically speaking) than a 24 year old? Many of these 20-something year old women will never marry as most men refuse to marry these days. Are they old because their chances of marriage are next to nothing? A person is young (or old) regardless of their fertility status or marital status. At 39, Clare is batshit insane, but she is definitely young. I'm younger than Clare, but I've taken care of people of all ages. By having this experience, I've realized that in the grand scheme of things, 39 (or even those in their 40s) is really young and don't have nearly has much knowledge about life as you would think. People think they know so much when they reach their 30s and 40s, but they actually know very little. They are "kids" in comparison to older adults. Rant over. I know many people have said (or implied) that Clare is single because she is mentally unstable. I don't think this is the case as many married men and women are 10x more unstable than Clare and that hasn't stopped them from marrying nice, stable people. Many men find clingy and overly emotional women to be very attractive because these women give off the impression that they always need a knight-in-shining armor to rescue them. They may complain about a woman's moodiness, but their actions betray their true feelings; they love these types of women because they "challenge" them. She is single because she has not yet found the right man for her. Just as a man needs to choose her, she also needs to choose a man. Not everyone finds the love of their life in their 20s. Many people don't find the right person until their 50s. Clare may be one of these people.
  7. Whenever a woman says she is a strong woman, I immediately know that she is insecure, weak and needy. A strong woman shows she is strong through her actions and they avoid throwing temper tantrums. While 39 is still very young, I would expect a woman at this age to have more realistic expectations regarding men. I think she wants a guy to tell her how amazing she is every second of the day. She is very high maintenance. A hope any man who does marry her enjoys drama because they will get plenty of it! Usually you see whiny, drama queens among young women in their teens and early 20s. By 25, there is no excuse to be a drama queen.
  8. I would've assumed Barb was lying, but Maddie didn't deny anything. Maddie has shown repeatedly that she isn't afraid to stand up to Barb. She simply smirked and said "It is what it is." This indicates that Barb was telling the truth. Barb is clearly psychotic, but in this one particular instance, Maddie came across as rude for not apologizing or offering some sort of explanation.
  9. I think Peter's mom has some sort of personality disorder and she is a b**ch. However, I think it is rude to keep someone waiting for 3hrs and not offer an apology. Yes, it was most likely production that delayed things but Maddie would've appeared very classy by saying," I was told to show up at [insert time]. I had no idea that you were waiting 3hrs for me. I apologize." Instead she just smirked. This made Maddie seem ill-mannered and did not show her in a good light. She didn't even deny anything that Mama Weber was saying and we all know she isn't afraid to stand up to people so Mama Weber's complaint must have been true. That being said, any woman who chooses to even date Peter or his brother after seeing this shit show must be out of their mind or have ulterior motives. He comes from a highly dysfunctional family and it's very unlikely that Peter will grow up anytime soon.
  10. Married men are responsible for their marriages. Women who choose to be involved with married men are responsible for their own actions. This means married men should immediately say "no" to any woman who tries to lead them astray and women should immediately back off when they find out a man is married. It shows a complete lack of morals and decency for someone to cheat on their spouse and for someone to have an affair with a married person. It's pathetic and neither person involved in an affair can claim to be innocent.
  11. Personally, I will call a slut a slut. I don't care if they are a man or a woman. If someone wants to be a slut, then they should go for it. However, they need to be mature enough to feel confident in their choices. If someone can easily make you feel guilty or ashamed over your choices by using one word, then you probably don't feel you are making the best decisions deep down inside. Society, however, will slam anyone who calls a woman a slut, but if a man engages in the exact same behavior, then he is called every name in the book. Hypocrisy is rampant in our society when it comes to sex.
  12. When Mykenna swirled her tongue around and stuck it out, I thought she was having a stroke. I think these women need to develop a shred of respect and leave. While not a bad person, Peter is shockingly immature for a man his age. He acts more like a teenage boy than a man who is pushing 30. There is no way he is mature enough to date much less marry. His judgement is shockingly poor. One of you mentioned earlier that it's scary that he's a pilot and I have to agree. With such poor judgment, he should not be allowed to operate a plane or a bicycle for that matter. Peter needs to take some time to grow up and learn to handle conflict especially since he keeps inserting himself into all of the drama. He keeps stirring the pot and running when everything goes up in flames. This is a guy that would make a terrible husband and would probably run home to mommy when his wife is upset. Initially, I was surprised that Kelly (the lawyer) was on a show like this. She seemed mature and well put together. However, tonight really showed me how ditzy she truly is. I have no idea how someone actually becomes a lawyer when they have the speech patterns of a teenager. Good thing she works for daddy because no one else would hire her.
  13. I don't think Blake or Caelynn are angels. However, I find it bizarre that Caelynn would trash Blake's reputation during Paradise on national TV and people found this acceptable. However, when he provided proof of their texts to show Caelynn wasn't telling the truth, then he was ripped apart for going too far. Wtf? Blake has every right to defend himself. I admit that I was on Caelynn's side until I saw those text messages between Blake and Caelynn. Caelynn is highly manipulative and immature. I sure hope Dean never breaks her heart. I wouldn't surprise me if she later says that Blake put duct tape on her mouth and forced her to live in a van with him. Smh... The thing that irks me the most is when Caelynn had told Blake before going to Paradise to not make a big deal out of anything. She tried to play it cool even though she had deeper feelings for Blake. She said she was "fine." Then Jordan points out that when a woman says she's "fine," she actually means the exact opposite. This is sadly true in general....at least among women in their early 20s. It's because of these immature women that men do not take "no" for an answer. Many men have been trained by such women to interpret "no" as "try harder." It becomes impossible for them to figure out whether to take their partner's words seriously or to assume that their partner actually means the exact opposite. This is what men mean when they say they don't understand women and why many in the younger generation (30s or younger) have given up on dating altogether. I have had guy friends that stopped when a woman said "no," and were then insulted by these women for not being "real men" (their "no" meant "try harder"). Not cool. Say what you mean, please. Men should be able to assume that every "no" means "no" instead of wondering whether it is a code word for something else. It causes men a lot of anxiety. Note: I'm talking about regular men, not actual rapists. I feel that if a man or woman cannot be upfront with how they feel or establish their boundaries, then they have zero business dating. It is not Blake's job to read Caelynn's mind. She is 24, not 16. If she says she is fine and she has zero romantic feelings regarding their fling, then he should be able to believe her. It is her job as an adult to advocate for herself. If she wanted a real relationship with Blake, then she should've said that from the start. Blake definitely made mistakes, but so did Caelynn. Putting all of the blame on Blake infantilizes Caelynn. Either she is a grown woman capable of making her own decisions or she is a little girl who needs to be protected from big mean men like Blake. She can't have it both ways. It's time to stop infantilizing grown women.
  14. My thoughts on this episode: 1) When I first saw Kristian, I thought "Aww! How sweet! Demi's mom has arrived to help Demi make a decision!" When they started kissing, then it hit me who she was. Lol. She seems like a sweet and levelheaded person, so what is she doing with Demi? And how on earth is she only 27?! She looks old enough to be my mother and I'm 7 years older than her! 2) Dean seriously needs to shave the mustache and cut his hair. He looks like he constantly needs a bath. 3) Kristina is way too pathetic. She wastes a rose on Blake as an attempt to get revenge. The girl sucks at planning revenges. Why continue to be a "friend" to someone who disrespected her? Girl needs to grow up and move on. Derek is the biggest catch on that beach. She should pursue him now that the debacle with Demi is over. 4) I still have no idea which Bachelor season Caitlyn was on. She should not waste time speaking to Kristina and focus on getting a rose. 5) Why is Demi being praised for her behavior? I don't care if she were dating the Lochness monster at home: she was clearly in a relationship and still went on Paradise! How is her behavior praiseworthy, but Jed was a monster for doing the exact same thing? She end up hurting two people she claims to care about: Kristian and Derek. If I were Derek, I would be pissed! It's also weird and cringe that Demi had her two "lovers" meet. Once again, looked like Demi was introducing her boyfriend to her mom. Just so weird all around! 6) Demi chose her girlfriend, so they should leave Paradise. Isn't the point of Paradise to find love? Well, Demi apparently found it. The only reason to stick around is to maybe find someone better, which is disrespectful to her non-bachelor girlfriend.
