I 'googled' the bachelor because I wanted to see if anyone was thinking the same think I was while watching the show. First, I feel Jason is not a real bachelor, he has already been married. I believe a bachelor is a man who has never lived with a woman and shared part of their life with them. Also, if he has custody of his son Jason's life should focus around his sons for now. I feel like he is only on the show for the fame, good luck at finding love again. I agree with previous posts about this seasons the bachelor.

I watched it long time ago and felt the women had self esteem issues. Crying on TV because they couldn't get a man. How silly is this? It show low self esteem and too much like they were prostitutes and he is pimping himself. This is not the way to find real love or happiness in 30 minutes or an hour show? Where have all the morals gone? So it is not good to keep promoting shows like this because it sends the wrong message to young girls in how to conduct yourself while looking for a mate.

How can we chide him now for being in a position to negotiate time with his son? 2) After never having had a single parent on this show (after how many seasons??? 10 or so???) now in addition to Jason we have 4 SINGLE MOMS. The dam has been broken. 3) If one of them makes it to the final 2 and is not chosen, there is a strong chance she will be the next Bachelorette, as that is the show's most recent pattern. 4) Do you think the majority of people actually get the Gabriel Garcia Marquez reference in Heidi Raykeil's book title? 5) Jason is CUTE. I think he's way better looking than most of the previous bachelors. I wanted Deanna to choose him on The Bachelorette even though I never want kids! <abbr><em><em>Honey´s last blog post...<a href="http://honeyandlance.com/snowboarding-sickness-and-a-breakdown-at-the-grocery-store" rel="nofollow">Snowboarding, Sickness, and a Breakdown at the Grocery Store</a></em></abbr></em> I do think it’s a bit of a double standard because a guy is the first single parent on the show, but I feel obligated to point out:

Us women can hardly do anything cause then we're doing it wrong while men always seem to come out on top at the other side regardless what they're doing.
