Wow. Still at it!

Blood? Or bad blood?

This isn’t even the first piece on this topic about this article.

I’m confused by this... When did they out her?

Excellent point, except that’s not at all what I wrote. I’m much closer to 51 than 41. I’ve definitely posted ABOUT my relationships while I was IN THEM. That doesn’t mean my social media right now still reflects those relationships. No one looking at my current social media would have any confusion about who I’m…

“Can you quote where I’m acting like people are ‘too online’? I definitely don’t think I was trying to do that.”

Sure:

So you’re assuming that an AARP recipient has active social media including pictures of an ex she dumped in 2019... And that their former coworkers, cold-called by a research firm, would be eager to dish about the ins and outs of a pre-COVID failed relationship between two middle aged people in Indiana? And you’re…

The whole thing is funny if you zoom out a little bit.

She dated someone whose wife died, suddenly, a month earlier. She moved in with him and realized that he [charitably: was not for her... /accurately: sucked...] in 2019. It’s 2023, and December at that. Their relationship has probably been over for longer than it…

“Everybody” thinks that something was invented two weeks to one half hour before they experienced it...

True. Also true: Anybody over 30 who can’t figure out that this was “too soon” for him to be ready to date also isn’t ready to date. Two people made this dumb choice together.

Deep dive on what, though? They dated until sometime in 2019. They lived together for part of that time. She dumped him after he fat shamed her. What sort of detective agency would they have used to find that out?

So, wait...His wife died in July of 2017, right? Carolyn says they started dating a month after his wife died, so that’s August or September of 2017. Most reunions happen in the summer/fall seasons. If the “final nail” was a comment he made in 2019, then either his comment wasn’t the final nail or they didn’t date for…

You’re almost there... But I have a different perspective on who “the biggest part of the problem is.”

Multiple people are in this comments thread, extremely opinionatedly weighing in about a show that they don’t watch, have never watched, etc... seemingly without realizing that they’re helping keep the show alive.…

Why are you commenting on a recap about a show you don’t watch and don’t think should exist? Surely you’re sophisticated enough to understand the concept of “media impressions” or “engagement” or clickbait. You’re literally helping keep this franchise alive by being here. You’re basically an unpaid laborer of Bachelor…

So, what you’ve really revealed here is that you don’t think people in their 70s are capable of having an emotional reaction to a situation that isn’t appropriately expressed by crying... You know that says more about you (and the four people that starred this comment) than it does about anything else, right? College…

Actually, the people reacting to you in this thread have the most reasonable position possible:

You seem to be on the Internet, completely unironically, waving your cynicism around about a show you haven’t watched... and then - completely unironically - acting like the people reacting to you are ‘too online’ for…

You think THIS is bad? ElectricSheep, elsewhere in the comments, is similarly opinionated for someone who claims to have never watched a single episode of the whole franchise...

Speed the collapse:  Don’t watch. Don’t click. Don’t talk about it.

Easiest way to speed that death:  Don’t watch. Don’t engage with content about a show you don’t watch. Don’t click on links about a show you want to die. Stay away.

“I’ll have to take your word for it! I’ve never watched an episode, but I do read the recaps, and the recap said...”
