I hope he meets the love of his life, I hope in his eyes, she's exactly what he wants in a wife, totally his type, and someone who loves him for who he is and doesn't take advantage of him. Everyone deserves that.

This brings tears to my eyes, GA.
Especially ... someone who loves him for who he is and doesn't take advantage of him.

I don't see anything wrong with the shirtless selfies.  He is signed with a modeling agency, so maybe he is trying to get work and social media is a big thing now.  A lot of the models do it, not just Nick.

A lot of models post shirtless pics on instragram, not just Nick.

Oh, yeah - I'm not denying that at all. I even said that in my post and Kaitlyn probably admits that (in private) too. She's responsible for her own mistakes, but I just think that Nick was able to really decieve her about his true motivations and fool her into thinking he was just misunderstood. The guy has no interest in finding a wife and has no issues with love-free finance type stuff, but he was able to tricks millions of viewers into thinking so, so I get she fell for his act.

I don't even care about the pre-FS sex thing as much because I think that's been done before, but I think he just changed her into this completely different person. Pre-Nick, she dealt with Kupah, Tony, and even JJ booing her on stage with such maturity and she was just completely straight-forward and honest with everyone. For a while there, when Nick came on, she became this very sneaky, dishonest, and evasive person. That's what I hated. I do think that after the sex, she caught on really quickly to his manipulative ways and that's why she sat there stone-faced while he was "crying" at that rose ceremony. I also think that's why there was such a 180 in both Andi and Kaitlyn's attitudes at ATFR, because it sucks to realize you fell for a manipulative, vengeful, and insincere person. JMO.

Nothatgirl, I was mostly agreeing with you guys . So many ughhh moments from last season.

 I hope he meets the love his life too and someone who doesn't use him. :Nod:

Besides a physical/mental attraction and the challenge of "getting the girl" they've both had a very unique life experience that only those that have been part of the franchise fully understand. They get recognized. If you aren't part of the franchise it may be annoying/frustrating to have fans ask for photos and want to have random conversations when you're out and about. They may get more opportunities for paid appearances. Kaitlyn's season changed Nick. He left his stable job and is spending a lot of time in LA. If he's part of a "franchise couple" he'd increase his exposure/brand and his "15 minutes of fame" would be extended. He seems to enjoy the attention the franchise has given him JMO

Of course, it's not like he cared about Kaitlyn either imo but there he was in nyc, like the nightmare that keeps on giving. I'm looking forward to him being in mad, white hot, deep passionate love with the next Ette. I like that the Ettes are always mid-20s and he's getting older and older, adds a hilarious level of creepiness that's sorely needed in the franchise.

I just can't with this guy. Everyone once in awhile, I look at his sm accounts, see more half-nudies than a 15 year old gearing up to star on MTV's 16 and Pregnant in about 10 months there and nope right on out. So HAWT.

I'll take shirtless selfies/pics which Dr Chris, Shawn, Art Green, Richie Strahan, and many many others do and have done (really don't care about how many - they do it) any day over a selfish, narcissistic, spoiled brat like Kaitlyn who whines and moans incessantly on HER personal social media.

JMO

Poor Kaitlyn such a victim.  So innocent, unworldly and little shy wallflower to be manipulated by big bad powerful Nick V.     Can I sell some swamp land...it's waterfront??

^

So after k got engaged to s, post Nick, she called negative posters a$$hole, d!ck, dared people to make dumba$$ comments, not practicing what she preached....so who brings out the worst side of her? Can't blame Nick the manipulator here, can we?

I'd take Nick and his shirtless selfies any day over Kaitlyn and her whining complaining mean self.

Nick can always put on a shirt.

Kaitlyn would have to get a whole new personality.

About his shirtless selfies...I am not really a big fan of those but they get him more traffic and likes. I checked his IG posts for the last week, other than the one with Ben, his shirtless post yesterday got the most likes. So as long as people like them, I am sure nick will continue to post them. Is that his fault? I am not saying that's right or wrong but I think I understand why he post them. The Bustle article talks about this too.

^ Yup, Nick himself explained why. But it really doesn't matter. His fans show they like his shirtless pics the most since those ones get the most likes. He's young. He's single. Go for it.
