I wouldn't really consider The Bachelor more or less plausible than like
Anything else, dating-wise
you
don't consider a large group of women competing fierceley against each other for the affection of one person who they don't even really know at the start to be implausible
you have lived a very different life than me
I mean, first off
No, not really, that sounds about like my senior year of college
But I meant more in the sense that I don't see being on a show like that as that different than like
Meeting a stranger at a bar, or swiping right on Tinder
What makes one of those significantly more plausible to lead to a fulfilling relationship than another?
You're not being paid in money and fame for either of those other scenarios, nor are you cast in contrived scenarios for the purpose of entertaining an audience and expected to act in character at all times.
I mean, I'd consider going on a date an act of entertaining an audience (my date)
And in entertainment, you are supposed to stay in character, and I would likely do so
Like, I guess I can see how the money could make a difference
But at least part of the theory of the show is that it won't, as he is aiming for the best personal match for himself, not the person who wants the money the most
There's a huge difference between going on a date with someone in order to make your date have a good time, and doing so in order for a third party to have a good time!
The second thing lies on a spectrum somewhere between creepy rich-man games and porn!
Eh, I guess
I mean, if you're doing it right, you're aiming for both, no?
