Nick Viall & Vanessa Grimaldi - Bachelor 21 - Discussion - #2

Got to give it to Nick! This general discussion thread has been quite for a few days but after his short IG story, we have pages and pages of discussion

coolangel wrote:Too bad Nick wasn't lucky enough to find the love of his life in his 20's so that he could do all these cutesy coupley things IMO. For a guy who was painted on SM as this perpetual loser who won't find anyone, with some even hoping he gets dumped at FRC by his F1, I would say - Do you Nick. Celebrate your love and your fiancée.  

I don't know if Nick intended it to be but I also see this as a message to all those delusional IG posters who keep tagging him in Raven's semi-naked pics saying he is missing out. Even though Vanessa is fully covered IMO, that IG story screams, 'Nah. I am good. Not missing out on anything'

All JMO

It was good all around, that Nick is posting these appreciative posts about Vanessa, showing that he's not missing out, he's exactly where he wants to be and with who he wants to be with. Jmo

All I got from that snap is that Vanessa has a great butt and Nick's loving it. Gonna go do some squats now.

@Cila51290 I'm with you! He's a lucky man and he doesn't mind letting everyone know that he knows it!

I still think the swaying of her derriere to the music is what enticed him to film it. He is envious of her smooth moves.

I would rather see a healthy expression of any age covered up than some of these OTT nip slips that are any thing but wardrobe malfunctions, camel toe peek-a-boos on sweaty crotches etc and beefy booty back sides on balconies. I am so over these vanity shots.  Not every one is toned toned and toned. And it can still be sexy.
JMO.

My post isn't about sexuality though. It's about SM. I just think people who are grown should have more restraint on what they post on SM. Some like it, some don't, & I didn't. JMO.

I think it would bequeath most people to show a little more restraint in SM, regardless of age and this includes the young Millenial crowd. Don't really see what age has to do with any of this? 

Nick and Vanessa. Loved them on the show. Like them as people. Wish them the best. But I just can't get into like passionately following them or mustering up enough energy to care one way or another what they do. I'm like - Nick made a story about V's a$$. Alright, cool and so what.

IA that the young millennial crowd could show a little more restraint on SM but I consider people my age to generally be attention seeking dumbasses. Maybe it's my fault for expecting people with more years & life experiences to be above that sort of behaviour.

I mean 35+ and STILL posting shirtless/topless selfies? STILL making duck faces and doing the squinty eyed thing? STILL posting azz shots? Just for some likes on the 'gram? To each their own... but... couldn't be me. All JMO.

I reside somewhere between Millenial and GenX. Most places I've seen label my age group as like the oldest Millenials. Some places the youngest GenXers. I've never related to the GenX crowd at all, a little more so to Millenials, but that's not a perfect fit for me either. I'm like squarely in a couple year gap that just doesn't fit anywhere. 

I'm here to tell you, people in their 30s are also dumba$$es just trying to figure it out as well. Get even older, and you have older folks that don't understand SM etiquette and technology the way the younger crowd does, so you get even more faux pas. I'm slightly younger than Nick by a few years. He's more Gen X than I am, in the same way I'm more Millenial, but he's also probably in that gap that doesn't really fit anywhere. He'a figuring it out like anyone. Plus at almost 40, he's maybe hitting close to that mid life crisis a few years earlier than most. He's recapturing his youth, YOLOing and in general, maybe correcting some mistakes or gaining some experiences he felt like he missed it on in his youth. JMO.

Nah, IMO, there are no expiration dates on being an azz. Look at drunk driving. Road rage etc. as extreme examples. You can outgrow being an azz, but asses come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

I'm 35 and I feel like I fall in the middle of the gen x /millennial age groups only because I still feel like I'm figuring out what the heck I'm doing half the time. When I was in my 20's I thought by now I'd have it all figured out, but here I am and I can tell you that I am nowhere closer than where I was then.

I have more life experiences, yes. I am way more mature than I was and I make much better decisions but do I want to act silly and maybe even take stupid pictures with my friends sometimes? Yes. Age is a number. I've realized that. I used to think 35 was old and I couldn't possibly be any fun at this age, well, Look at me now...living and s#!+!

Same girl, same. I'm 34. You said it well.

The only thing that separates me from my 24 year old version is like 10 years of added life experience to realize it's probably same ole growing and learning, making TONS of mistakes and just figuring it out. And 44 probably won't be much different than 34.

There are so many legit jerks and asshats around, that I don't consider a guy any adult age posting a fully clothed picture of his fiance's azz to being a big deal. He thinks her azz is hot, and posted a quick clip of her swaying to the music. Imo no issue, at any age. There's so much worse behavior on ig happening. Jmo
