"Its been really hard to actually date and have a consistent, good dating life since the show. It's been weird. Really weird.""You wonder about [if a woman is just after fame]," he continued. "[It's] hard to even understand or know what their true intentions are." wrote:

These guys give themselves too much credit IMHO. Luke alluded to the same thing in another link. They are so famous they can't trust anyone.

Oh Dani.   No, to either one! There are far better options available in real life and even from the show, I promise you.  JMO of course.

His biggest concern about being on the BIP is he has gotten chubby and not that maybe the selection of women might not be right for him? Ok...you can work out between now and then and get into shape. That's under your control. The women--eh--not so much.
He's worried about the women and their emphasis on fame? Uh really, Mr. Pot? Worried about the Missy Kettles? Hmm.
This man should try online dating.

I bet Chris was fed info to inflate his ego like ALL the women are wanting to meet him sooo badly etc.

I'd say Farmers Only would be a great place for Chris to start but didn't he sue them for that commercial that basically mocked/imitated/used him as an example of who should use the site and implied he'd have had better luck on their site than going on the bachelor?

I think Chris' problems with dating in real life may be compounded by the producers making a big deal of his purported wealth.

One of my college friends has a relative who has become incredibly rich, and she says it is bizarre watching women throw themselves at him (and that is despite him being both "old" and married). There are definitely women who do their research and target men with any hint of fame or fortune. I have no idea who these women are, but since I've seen them fall in like flies around a man, I know it happens. Definitely weird.

I don't think it would be a real picnic living in rural Iowa. This is being said by someone who lived in rural Missouri for 12 adult years. :shootme: :shootme: :shootme:

and add to that, you'd be with Chris.   I think Chris' biggest obstacle is himself. I mean how many times did he contradict himself between the two interviews/articles posted in the last day or so.

JMO

Link? I know she's said somewhere (Maybe People?) that she'd go on if Derek went to. So its clear she's interested in him.

@pavalygurl He seems available but I don't know for sure.

really cool that he did that! Way to use your tv exposure for something very positive

"I wanted to participate in that whatever way I could, given that I have a small platform," Peth says. "I wanted to support them and help do what we can in Brenda's name." (Brenda is a childhood friend's sister who took her life and she used to be a social worker who was passionate about domestic violence issues)

the article mentions bip to which he didn't answer whether he was going but he said names haven't been released yet

I like him. I wouldn't mind seeing him on BIP as long as he had someone decent to pair up with.

I agree. I am probably one of the few that likes Chris. I take him to be a little shy and I took his comments to mean that he actually is self conscious about his body. I also interpreted his comments on the women as that it is hard to know them based on this seasons odd edit/and or/they all appear to be immature, self centered or there for fame (at least that is how I see them). I hope he does find someone good for him too. Because I think he is shy he may benefit from someone more outgoing. Whether he is on the show or not, I do hope he finds his HEA.
