I don't listen to what Alexis and jasmine think of her bc they only known rachel for a couple months until they went home.

Maybe they should ask Rachel's family and real friends what rachel likes in a guy or what she needs in a guy.

I know I just hate that people think these girls are best friends bc they were on a show together.

I know Vanessa is friends with Taylor Nolan and Danielle m but they barely kissed nick, you don't see Vanessa being best friends with Corinne.

I understand it's bachelornation and they share a special bond but come on you don't actually know eachother and hasn't even been a year yet. JMO

Even though I think Alexis and Jasmine could have worded it better, I do agree that she would go for the more assertive guy who won't be intimidated by her (IMO), based on her own words in this interview.

Glamour: I’m in my thirties, and I’m sick of people saying, "Why are you still single?" Do you ever get that?

RL: A lot of people are like, "How are you single? You seem to check off every box on paper. You’re great!" And what I say is "Men love the idea of me, but when it comes to the reality of me, they can’t handle it." Whether it’s "You work too much," or "You’re too strong-willed, or "You’re so independent you don’t need me," it’s a very frustrating experience. I’m sure you can relate to it. What I love about this is that I feel like I can touch women on so many different levels. Not just being a woman, not just being the first African American Bachelorette, but being a 30-year-old career-driven woman. So many women are going to be like, "I get it! I understand what it is that she’s going through." Yes, on paper it’s great, but for some reason I find a lot of men become intimidated by that. I love that women are going to be able to relate to me in that sense.

Glamour: When you were on Ellen, you said you love a guy with a great smile. Who would be your ultimate guy if you were to merge two celebrities?

RL: I’m going to start off with Bieber! Everybody knows I’m a Biebs fan. I’m going to choose Bieber. Not because I like the way he looks—just that—but also his musical talent, he can play musical instruments, he can sing, so I want all that to come in. Idris Elba…between his accent and his tall, dark handsome man, I’m going to pull in there. And then I’m going to pull in Brad Pitt for his sensitivity. At least, what I’ve seen in his acting. Legends of the Fall is one of my favorite movies. He’s Tristan there. I fell in love with Tristan, and I’m still a fan today. I’m going to mix all that together! [Laughs.] Sign that man up!

Just 1 question when love strikes and if the man don't have all that requirements is she going to walk away from him?

@coolangel I don't think she wants someone 'assertive' per se

The definition according to http://google.ca/
Assertive: having or showing a confident and forceful personality

IMO I don't think she wants someone forceful. She says she wants someone who's confident, and won't be intimidated by her success but an assertive guy is not the only personality type that fits that description. I think she'd end up butting heads with a guy like that. I think she'll either end up with a goofball or the strong silent type. All JMO.

@ReneeM I agree with your assessment because that is how I see her too.

For me, assertive is not a negative term at all. For me, It means being confident without being aggressive. There is something which is often said in my profession about climbing the career ladder - 'There is a line between assertiveness and arrogance. That line is being open to other people's opinion and respecting them'. That's the personality type I see for her based on her replies - not aggressive/arrogant but assertive.

It's definitely interesting speculating coz I couldn't see her with Dean but they seemed to have tons of chemistry in the videos IMO. I can see her being attracted to goofballs like you said since she has said 'funny' every time she was asked this question. I personally think the different opinions all of us have on her type is interesting and makes speculating fun. yes

@coolangel that is why I like it here we all come from different point of reference and still appreciate each other points of view.

by Carine Mon Apr 03, 2017 6:39 pm

She has mentioned liking corny jokes and someone funny and making her laugh quite a few times in interviews so definitely on the look out for that during dates, the fun banter interactions.

by Guest Mon Apr 03, 2017 11:52 pm

Seems like the bachelorette gone silent now. Has Rusty snail lost giggling

his mojo?

snipped Someone who can put her in her place.

That's the last thing I would have thought Rachel was looking for in a guy. In the few interviews I've seen her answer the questions of what she's looking for, I've never heard her say that.
