[@karibu1361]

Instead of looking for love, many go on bachelor shows for other reasons. (fame, excitement, travel, etc.) Sadly, producers lie, manipulate contestants, their dates, etc. all for ratings...It was revealed many weeks ago that Gerry & Theresa weren't together...They should not have let producers rush them into marriage so quickly... Once reality set in, they realized they were better off as friends...

This joke of a show should have been cancelled long ago. It’s all scripted. I guess it makes too much sense to figure things out before marriage, especially at their ages 🤦🏻‍♀️.

@@LaurieWiegler This is So interesting.. i would have thought he'd have fast declining T levels and just be happy for companionship ---do you think he still wanted to keep hunting for women?

[@lisascorp]

​@LaurieWiegler He's just always struck me as phony and has a somewhat slimy quality. Granted, he's a handsome guy, but everything about him felt off. I was also surprised that she was the one he wound up with in the show. I thought he had more sparks with some of the other women. At our age, it's definitely more difficult, but I believe possible. It seems all the men I see my age, look like Santa Claus. Grey hair etc. But then I look at my ex husband He looks way different than when I met him. Grey, Santa now himself. We fall in love when young and vibrant. If it ultimately doesn't work, I think it's just such a different level finding love at an older age. Frankly, it just sucks. Yet I remain hopeful. Edit. My point isn't coming out right. It certainly isn't about looks. But seeing my ex husband, I still see the man I fell in love with so the Santa look on him doesn't phase me or bother me. My Dad always saw the 16 year old girl he fell for in my Mom, even after 50 years, weight gain etc. I think it's supposed to last. When it doesn't, at an older age I think it's more compatability and interests.

Really. They had a much larger audience for this one too. People who don't normally watch it, watched this one because being older brought a lot of interest and curiosity and dare I say "hope" The women weren't catty. They were mature adults comfortable in their own skin and wise to life's realities. Due to this fakery , the next Golden probably won't draw so many people.

Maybe, but watch the interview, you'll notice how careful both of them are to say virtually nothing about why their "marriage" crumbled after a week to 1-2 months (forget that it lasted three months folks-it was EMOTIONALLY over way before they made the official announcement). They have carefully rehearsed and carefully crafted the reason that they love their families too much to move into a house together :). So, nothing of the true process of how this thing fell apart is revealed.
