Who is Joan Vassos and what is her journey?
Welcome back to another episode of Excuse My Grandma. It's Kim and my co-host Grandma Gail. And today we're so excited about our guest Joan Vasos from The Golden Bachelorette. Joan has captured our hearts on this season of the show so far and her journey to find love later in life is so relatable to so many people. So we're going to chat to her about the whole groundbreaking season and her journey and of course her thoughts on finding love at any age. So Joan is joining us virtually. Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you for having me. I'm excited.
Have you been watching yourself? And is it as you expected when you were going through the filming process?
So I'm kind of like watching myself, but I feel like I know what I did. I'm actually really enjoying being able to watch the season because I see the guys interaction, which I don't see because they're like in the mansion and I don't really see them together unless we're on a group date. So that's the part that is like really exciting and fun for me to watch. Like, you know, I heard from them like how much they bonded and how it was a kind of like therapy for them and what good friends they become. But I'm finally like actually getting to see the interaction.
It must be a little difficult because, you know, you're certainly younger than I, but you've had a prior life and a happy marriage and you have a family. So is this a different kind of finding a relationship? You know you're not having children, I don't think. You're trying to go into the golden years with someone you're having fun with. Is it strange to do? I mean, how difficult is it? Because I have a lot of friends going through it now.
It's very different. So it's certainly very different from the first process when I found John or when I was looking for a husband because I was looking for somebody to start a family with and to start a life with and build your first house and do all those things. And now I have a life. I've built it already. I like it. And I want to be with somebody who likes their life. So you have to figure it's a totally different thing. You have to figure out how do you merge lives or how do you invite them into your life and see how they fit and How do you fit into their life? So it's like it is really different and actually a little harder to find somebody. Honestly, the pool of people is a lot smaller when you're in your 20s and 30s.
I feel like I'm like, you know, I've been dating in New York in my 20s the last few years and we complain how hard it is as is. And I wonder, though, if people kind of mature. So maybe that makes things a little bit easier because I feel like the men... at least understand what it's like to have a successful relationship at some point.
I think you're right. In a way, Joan has a more difficult situation because she's got family and everybody has to fit into a good circle together.
Yeah. So like you're both right on both accounts. Like it's a little easier because the men kind of have an emotional intelligence. They, you know, they kind of know what they want in life. So you're either you fit that idea or you don't. And they're not like trying to figure out what they want in life. They kind of know it and they chances are already have it and have built it. But once again, there aren't as many people and you do have to really consider that. like what you like out of your life and what you're not willing to give up um in a relationship with somebody so you're always going to have some kind of sacrifice but you know like what part like i'm not going to move from maryland i've made that perfectly clear from day one actually even before we started filming i said i'm not leaving maryland so
um if someone wants to be be with me they have to know that i don't expect them to move and be with me and i don't i don't want somebody who expects me to move and be where they live um i think that's too much to give up it's too much to ask somebody to do so they have to like realize it's going to take some effort in another way by traveling or by arranging when you're going to see each other it requires some work but i think it's too much to ask to leave their lives that they've spent their you know 60 years building
