1- How many of those relationships last afterwards?
2- FML...I wish I could look like that guy. Gents, you know it's true. Do we live in a society where body images like that are what we aspire to be?
For those that are curious about question one (or that don't have any common sense and therefore don't know the answer already), the answer is that there's 1 marriage. Out of 17 between The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
As to the second question the answer is hells yes. But I'm not really going to preach about that, because everyone already does. Do you think that the Greeks really looked like their sculptures? Absolutely not, it's just what they aspired to be. The gods must have been jacked.
Now fellas, you know and I know, even though it's hard to admit, we all can get a sense of when another guy is good-looking. He's usually the douche-bag wearing a New Era flat-brim in the corner of the room making out with a girl who might as well be wearing a T-shirt instead of her dress...You know who you are. Sorry if you're one of them, like you'd be reading this blog anyway.
On the other hand he could also be the guy in high school that is good at absolutely everything and is extremely athletic and top in the class and is just an all around nice guy. Those kind are the worst because you can't fault them and can't blame them, but you just want to hate them because they're good looking and they've got everything you don't. Girls, you are 10 times worse in this situation.
Am I ever going to look like that? No, and that's totally ok, I choose pizza and lasagna over the bod. But still, sometimes it just sucks, and you really want to just be able to look like those guys on the Bachelor or another reality show. Granted, those people only makeup about 2% of the male population, but they're plastered enough on the TV and magazines that it feels like 90%. Next thing you know they're gonna come out with 300 in 3D (which would be SICK, by the way), and I'm gonna have blood and Gerard Butler's biceps and pecs literally shoved in my face.
Screw the Greeks for making muscles. All those sculptures have small genitals anyway. Score 1 for the 21st century average Joe.

Watch the Bachelor. Yeah, he's a good looking guy, but he's incredibly sweet, honest, and kind-hearted. That's why he was picked after his heart was broken last season. Sure girls swoon over him because he's good looking, but during our ladies' night to watch that show, we talk about how great of a person he is too. Plus, when it comes to TV, sex sells man. That's why there's all those shots of him standing in the shower.
ReplyDeleteI also think you're very quick to judge the good looking guy and the girl he's making out with in the corner. I don't know if I'm being over sensitive about that, but that's not always who the good looking guys and pretty girls are.
