Re: Marcus Grodd - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion

I think age is not as great a factor (considering he does look older) as personality.
He said it himself, he will not start the party and as a lead you have to be pretty outgoing.
Besides if you watched him on the dancing date he seemed to be blushing a bit. Girls like Tierra and Courtney would spit him up on night one - assuming that he is a bit on the quiet side.
We need to see how he comes across on screen.
At least we have him till HTs and he got a solo on the magic mike night so have to make do with that.

His answers seem more mature than many 30 something yrs old guys. :whistle:

I am sorry, I know a lot of you guys really like him.
But,
1) He is too young.
2) He is not very engaging, nor extroverted and talkative..He was kind of an outsider while the other guys became super close and his answers give me too much of a Drew vibe(who is an AMAZING guy, but ultimately just not lead material)- I can assure you guys that after 2 bad lead choices in a row(Des and JP) they are going to make sure to pick engaging, witty and extroverted leads.

Marcus isn't a man's man. He seems to be attuned to what makes a female happy and I bet he make as great boyfriend and potential husband ... possibly a good match for Andi (lucky girl).

If you mean like David Goode and guys like him then definitely no.

He's definitely not another David Goode. I think he may just feel more comfortable around women than with men. Some people may call him a "dainty" man just like they did Arie ... but personally speaking, I don't see anything wrong with that.

I agree. We just have to see how he comes across onscreen and how people react to him. Play the waiting game!!

I completely agree, but I don't want to watch TPTB try to torture him. They don't take kindly to leads who aren't what they want them to be. If he had a co-bachelor to help that would be great. But so far he seems too sweet to watch TPTB destroy him.

I agree, I am definitely not talking about his maturity level. That doesn't have much to do with age. But experience and self-awareness(knowing who you are as person, what you want out of life, etc..) are usually linked to age(especially when it comes to men)(of course there are exceptions, but....).

In that dancing video he didn't seem at all dainty to me and I would never refer to him as that from what I've seen in the videos. I am anxious to see how he comes across on my TV screen. Some people called Arie "dainty"? Really? :Frown: Rolling Eyes

Bachelor Bio

Who do you admire most in the world and why?
I have never told her, but it's my mother. Never realized it until I was older, but she is the most hardworking, loving person I know. And she never asks for anything in return.

Would you describe yourself more as "the party-starter," "the wingman," or "the laid-back one"?
More of the laid-back one. I know how to have a good time but I'm not usually the party starter.

If you could be someone else for just one day, who would it be and why?
I wouldn't want to be anyone else but me. Even if it was for a day, to me it would feel like I couldn't accomplish what they have, and that's simply untrue.

Describe your idea of the ultimate date.
Being alone on an island, walking on a beach with a full moon and drinking, eating, talking on the beach the rest of the night. It's corny but corny is good, I think.

Do you consider yourself a romantic, and why?
I do. I just put thought into dates and presents for women I'm dating. Romance is not that common anymore and it's something guys have forgotten about.

All this and no tats? My Dream Bachelor! :cutiepie

Yes - I remember the arguments on the board clearly Suspect

regarding Arie.

Marcus is a soccer player and a goalkeeper at that. There is no way he is anything like dainty.
Not happening.
But he may be a nice sensitive guy who is not going to be the one to offer to jump in the mansion pool fully dressed or make a spectacle of himself. Good for him.

by nd4reality Mon May 12, 2014 9:22 pm

And yay - he still considers himself Canadian.

Please no discussion of dainty men. I see neither Marcus or Arie as dainty. The effete little prince he was definitely dainty. Maybe Jake too, except to me he was just an ass.
