5 Reasons Why More Guys Should Watch the Bachelor

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Maine chapter.

Guys- every Monday night, all you hear from girls is how excited they are to go home and watch “The Bachelor” to see if Ben is finally going to figure out just how crazy Olivia is. You might as well admit that you have definitely been curious to tune in yourself. If you have given into that urge then bravo, your life is now better. If not, here are 5 reasons why you should take the plunge and see what this guilty pleasure is all about!

1. It will give you an idea about the kind of dates that girls really want to go on.

Fly me to Mexico City and take me on hot air balloon ride and I’m all yours!

2. It provides something to talk to your mom or girlfriend about.

You know she’s already super into it, and if you know what’s actually going on, then bonus points for you!

3. It’s basically March Madness.         

There is serious competition in it. My roommate has a bracket and everything!

4. You can actually learn something from Ben.

He has 30 women fighting to marry him. He’s obviously doing something right!

5. You see that all girls actually are crazy (some more than others).

You probably think you already know this, but just wait until you see it. Usually we try to hide it from you and show our friends, but it’s bad.

 

And if all else fails, there are attractive girls! So this Monday when your girlfriend inevitably brings it up, just go with it and be enlightened, okay?
