Why I wouldn't want to be on The Bachelor

Although I more often than not talk about how reality shows are rapidly contributing to the death of television as we know it, I can't resist watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. My grandma even suggested that I go on the show as the bachelorette and even offered to help me choose between the men would obviously be falling madly in love with me. (She's an interesting lady.) After watching this season slowly unfold, I realized specific reasons why I wouldn't want to be on either show. Because i'm a generous individual, i'm sharing those reasons with you. Yes, you!

1. I don't share
In normal, everyday life, when a guy has more than one girlfriend, he's considered a cheater. On ABC, he's considered marriage material. I get that it's a show but I can't imagine giving so much of myself to someone who is giving a piece of himself to 24 other women. Bump that noise.

2. I wouldn't want to live with so many girls.
I had a roommate my first semester at a university and that was enough for me. I don't hate girls, I just don't appreciate their cattiness and I definitely don't want it in my living space. Aside from the cleaning issues, i'd probably enjoy living with boys soooooooo much more.

3. I don't mind fighting for what I want but I don't want to compete.
In a situation like this, I'd be the only one in the relationship fighting for the "us" to work. That just doesn't fly with me.

4. I want to be chosen as well as being able to choose.
Sometimes I wonder if the people on these shows really are interested in the person whose love and affection they are trying to win or if they are simply driven because there is no other choice and the competitive nature in folks just takes over. It's not fair for one side to have a ton of options and the other to have the options of
A)take it or B) leave it. 

5. I think it's important to fall for someone and start a relationship in a realistic setting. Read: crappy, stressful, frustrating real life
Once ABC stops funding the exotic trips and fantasy suites, things are gonna change super quick leaving everyone disappointed. Awwww, sad day.

6. After being on one of these shows, it's nearly impossible to blend back in to real life.
ABC has kinda gone the way of MTV by recycling its "stars" and using them on another show. You know how Coral from The Real World was on MTV for like 87 years after her season doing all those different versions of Real World/Road Rule Challenge. Same thing with ABC now. If you're the last one to get the boot, you're pretty much the next headliner. From there, you can go on to the game show Bachelor Pad and show the world just how strategic and conniving you are. Which leads me to my next point...

7. It will be extremely hard to get a job and/or a date once you're off the show.
Everyone has seen the ups, the downs, the breakdowns, the insecurities, the fights, the fact that you don't wear waterproof eye makeup, and the fact that you can get snippy toward your boyfriend's other girlfriends. Who wants to date or work with a hot mess like that? Not me. I probably wouldn't hire you nor is there a chance that we'd be very good friends either. Just sayin.

8. I want to be with someone because I like him, not because I want to win a reality show.

Kinda goes along with #3 and #4 but oh well. 

9. I don't want to catch a disease.

Let's be real here. One person making out and other stuff (I know you didn't think they were having a tickle fight in the fantasy suite when they kicked the cameras out) with a group of other people. If one has it, everyone has it. No thanks, I don't want it.

That's all I can think of for now. But seriously, isn't that enough?
