Perhaps you've seen "The Bachelor". Now there is "The Golden Bachelor" which features an old guy picking from among a dozen equally old women.
The current bachelor is former NFL linebacker and lawyer/sports agent Mel Owens. 66-year-old guy. Good looking and successful enough. But in order to get the female audience it wants, all 12 of the female choices are also in their mid-60s or beyond. I realize these people are fed lines, and they are being paid for this charade, but the whole thing is so hokey and dishonest. These women professing their love for this guy. All in front of the cameras. They're going to have him over to meet their families. All but one will be rejected. This isn't how relationships are built. This is a farce. Assuming any of the emotions are real, 11 people are going to people are going to be used and discarded, their affections meaningless and wasted. Opulent and elegant surroundings, and disposable people. It's just so LA.
First off, in reality a 66-year-old guy who's got it together isn't going to pick any of these old crones. He's going after the 35-year-old model.
These old women are gross with their botox and their long claws. Is this Hollywood's idea of attractiveness? And any available woman in her 60s has tons of baggage. I swear, and I'm being honest here. My wife is better-looking than all these women, at least to me. She's not paper thin, she's never had any work done. She's just---normal. These women all look and sound like gold diggers.
I thank the Lord I've been married 38 years and don't have to get into the dating pool. I can't imagine having to meet and impress somebody's adult children and grandchildren. I just don't have the energy or desire. I can hear it now: "Kids, this is Mashmont. He likes to take naps and watch TV".
