Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #7

Lauren's getting "shamed" because she has her crotch hanging out in split formation in front of Tim, Tom, Betty, and Boo. Not because she's just in a bikini. IMO.

This just seems like a cycle for her. If she acted like this around Ben it wouldn't be so noticeable when she goes on these girls trips to get drunk and act obnoxious.

JMO

^^^Agreed.  If a settle life in Denver with Ben means she has to do this every month or so, then they need to rip the bandaid off and move on,  it can't be healthy for the relationship or for her liver, IMO.

Azz out or not, there is nothing sexual about the way she is moving. I could understand if she were deliberately trying to draw attention to herself but for all I know she could be stretching. JMO.

Watching it in motion she clearly isn't stretching. She's doing some sort of weird dance thing that makes no sense to me. Lol

IMO most guys would no like there fiance/gf partying that hard, and getting crazy. Lauren seemed so drunk. I'm sure she's feeling super hungover right now.

All we are missing is her signature hungover snaps from bed where she's either not wanting to get up or saying she's "sick" and I think we have a signature girls trip BINGO. Lol

Jen is a terrible friend to post this and give the internet trolls and people like MM more ammunition. That's the biggest crime here, IMO. Otherwise, huh? It's not 1950. I'm a 30-something married woman with children, and I still do girls getaways with old friends and cut loose. Lauren should most definitely "be allowed" to do stuff like this, go to musical festivals with friends and if Ben had a problem with that (clearly doesn't), I'd have a bigger problem with Ben than Lauren, to be honest.

I completely agree.

Haven't been on this thread for ages.  Entertaining
After having read through quite a few pages, I'm wondering about if the differences in what Lauren and Ben choose to do or how they choose to portray themselves isn't a bigger thing than what they actually do.  Seems Lauren has more of an edge to her than Ben (who I think isn't at all edgy ) and that may have initially been the "opposites attract" phenomenon. They seem different as individuals when apart than when they are together.  IMO they need to bridge that for longevity.

Without having seen the whole thing take place, no, it really isn't clear to me why her legs are spread in that position at the start of video. It is after that she does the (harmless) dance. JMO.

It's actually less scandalous in motion to me. I thought she was going to start twerking for these 'random men' . She basically got into that position and started directing traffic with her arms . Strange all around and embarrassing for sure but IMO not shameful or pitiful.

I really don't think it's just "internet trolls" that would have issues with this, as it seems like some of us on the forum, who are most definitely not trolls, feel like this is inappropriate for a single/engaged/married person IMO. There's nothing wrong with Lauren vacationing with her friends, it's the fact that her lady bits are hanging out while she's practically posing in hump position in broad day light for all these ppl she doesn't know to see IMO. That's nasty for any person, not just Lauren. IMO.
