Part of me is ashamed/embarrassed to admit this, but I watch the show "The Bachelor" on ABC. Although I do want to make it VERY clear that I DO NOT agree with the show and what it portrays. It makes me so sad knowing these women are willing to sacrifice their careers and lives for a guy who probably won't be worth it. Honestly, that is showing little self-respect. I understand they are trying to find "true love", but I don't think surrounding yourself with 20 other jealous women will help you fall in love. It creates unwanted pressure, stress, and a lot of cat fights.
These women are so in love with falling in love that they are willing to lay everything aside-including their self respect. They need a wake up call. The guy you are "dating" (and I use that word lightly) is also dating many other women. How are you okay with that? Hello?!! That's called cheating. I don't care if it's a show; all the intentions, temptation, and proof is there to consider and qualify this as cheating. America is so sick and twisted. I don't get it.
Like I mentioned earlier, I do enjoy watching this show because it is interesting to watch one guy "try" (but will never be successful in) understand 20 women. A guy cannot even understand ONE woman, let alone 20. I find myself laughing at many parts of this show at the ignorance and selfishness of the chosen guy. But of course, this guy can do whatever he wants with these girls, but it's not considered wrong or hurtful because it's television. He can go skinny dipping with one of the girls and that's seen as okay. No, it's not. That is so disrespectful to the other women and shows the desperation in each of their "love lives".
With all this said, I know I would never ever go on a show like this. It completely crashes with my beliefs and morals as a follower of Christ. I don't need a fancy TV show to find love, because I've already found it. God is all the love I need. And if He has a guy out there for me, He will bring him to me-I won't need to search for him. These girls on this show our looking for this "ultimate longing"; something they've been searching for their entire life. But in all reality, they are not going to find it. No guy will ever completely satisfy you, only the love of Christ can.
With Blessings,
Heather
