“It’s entirely possible to meet 25 beautiful women (or 25 handsome men) and not fall in love with any of them . . . in a matter of six weeks . . . in isolation . . . with cameras all around. It doesn’t mean the person is too picky … nor does it mean they are gay. It just means they would rather be on their own than in a relationship with the wrong person. A sentiment I completely agree with. [Brad Womack got minimal public backlash] compared to the negative press I personally received after announcing I didn’t want to be with any of the guys I met on the show. I haven’t seen much denouncing him as a jerk…or proclaiming he made the biggest mistake of his life and that he’d be single forever. When it comes to relationships and breakups, society treats women and men very differently.â€
