Bekah Martinez - Bachelor 22 - Discussion

@GuardianAngel I'm not quite THAT old...LOL! I got married the first time in 1981

@justcallmegranny I'm not THAT old either but I have you beat on the date. Lets just say I was already married 6 years when you got married.



@Sprite me too. Age is irrelevant.

I don't know anyone, at 22 today that wants to get married, Bekah IMHO is one of the last person's I would think wants to get married. IA she may be more mature, however she has come to annoy me. She's having fun, and there's more to come, so good for her.

My youngest son is 26 and has been in a serious relationship for 2 1/2 years. Most of his friends, both college and HS, are married! Part of me thinks that millennials have such different value systems, that finding someone who is equally frugal, wanting to travel and share experiences, and have minimal stuff is what makes them 'couple-up' so young. I can see Bekah falling into this category.

Don't beat me for saying this, but women have so many more choices these days that marriage is often not a priority in their lives. Way back when @GuardianAngel and I got married, it was expected and if you were not married by your early to mid 20s, you were an old maid and there was obviously something undesirable about you. It is nothing now for a woman to be pushing 30 before she marries. Bekah has a long time to find THE ONE with no stigma attached. She might meet him this year or it could be years down the road.

@justcallmegranny I agree. I know a lot of women and men not married in their 30's.

The summer I turned 22 I had just graduated college.  I joined my cousin and a college room mate  for a month of their trip through Europe before I started my first "grown up" job.  I get a kick out of Bekah's joy for life. She's enjoying her youth and more power to her.

Bekah. Obviously she has done some google searching. Baby Bekah has already fit right into BN quite nicely. Did she forget it wasn't that long ago she was crying buckets over Arie in a limo, and defending her maturity and how ready she was for marriage.

This is one of the things that has turned me off of her. IMO she acts like she's trying to hard to prove that she is mature. I noticed it in her JK clip. She already has changed from the innocent cute contestant.

Baby Becs isn't ready for marriage. She's ready to party on BIP!! Jmo.

She's just salty that he rejected her.  

Oops. Imo.

I'm guessing that much like Sydney, Bekah's words will also reveal themselves to be truth. If the #metoo movement taught me anything, it's that if dozens and dozens of women are saying the same exact thing, they're telling the truth. People just don't want to believe it and will often go to great lengths to make excuses and justifications, especially if the man is attractive, charismatic, and likable. It's sad. IMO.

It's funny how we judge someone we don't even know. I've been guilty of it. Some of these contestants are not my cup of tea. We are seeing a one dimensional character on a highly edited television show. I like Bekah, but I am not buying what she is selling that she is ready for marriage, especially when she is heading to BIP this summer. Jmhoaa.
