Right, I don't know, but if you're watching this show with the idea that anyone of this generation has no interpersonal skills, are you looking down on these people before they even get a chance to give you?

That wasn't that long ago.

I felt Connor was like a good example of like, he said, he was pretty open and honest about his life and what he was looking for.

And I thought, you know, I think it's somewhat simplified to be like, all the men on these seasons can't speak to these women.

I think there's also the acknowledgement of like,

I don't think this is a space for men to really take chances and be themselves and be vulnerable on these shows.

Who's the punch up, punch down?

We've established that these men are punching down in a way.

They don't have to commit and maybe they're there to have sex and we assume that all the women are there to find love.

And when that's told after the fact,

You know, I do think they're aware of social media, of like where they're villainized and could be, you know, for any like mistake and not, you know, a relationship that doesn't turn into marriage, no?

If a relationship doesn't turn into a marriage for a guy, he is not a hero on these shows, generally.

But I'm speaking in the middle case scenarios where people are like, you know, I'm just saying, like, if a guy goes on there to speak on those shows, like...

he is really not being looked at like as like benefit of the doubt scenario.
