Peter Kraus - Bachelorette 13 - Discussion - #10

I thought he signed on to winter games already?

Did he say he signed on or did MF? MF throws crap out there all the time and people draw conclusions and run with things. MF likes this as it continues chatter about the show. MF tweeted on Oct 4 that Peter would be looking for love and going for gold on the Winter games. I don't recall seeing any further response to this tweet.

what are you reaching for?? I dont think he ever confirmed he was doing it. MF did.

I think this took place in Sept, when he did that interview with Lauren Zima from ET. And I've been calling Peter "Mr. Contradiction" since Aug because he tends to contradict himself a lot. Especially in interviews.

The interview was done when he was in NYC last week. The reporter from US Weekly was posting about it in real time on social media.

Oh okay thanks.  Makes sense!

PK: She has a very special connection with Bryan [Abasolo, who proposed during the show’s finale]. I don’t think I would have been picked had I been ready.

No surprise to me, however he found it necessary to like derogatory posts about Bryan and like positive posts about him and Rachel together? It was so hard to fake it but he certainly contributed to the fakeness.

I would consider doing the show, but if I can't propose, they won't forgive me a 2nd time?

Us: OK, be honest. Are you ready to date again?
PK: It’s been a constant thought in my mind. I’m going to keep thinking on it. I’m in no rush.

This guy IMHO is a loose cannon. You either would like to date or you don't, IMHO you don't need to keep thinking if you do or you don't.

I find him exhausting.

Which is why I'm baffled by his popularity. Who needs this type of mess in their lives? Thank goodness Rachel is smart!

Maybe a lot of woman are drawn to the indecisive, I need to be fixed kind of guy? IMO I think his enormous popularity has more to do with his looks and less to do with his personality -- or IMO lack thereof.

@vacayeveryday
He was very clear from the geneva that he didn't think he'd be ready to propose. the ball was in Rachel's court- she could have cut him after hometowns. esp since Eric was saying he was going to propose.

He's been very clear with saying that he wanted to date her but not propose based on a 2 month (sorta courtship). Yeah it's the premise of the show but she could have cut him.

I just think he needs more therapy for his anxiety.

After being married for a long time, I can definitely state you can't "fix" guys. The older they get, the more stubborn they become. If they're indecisive when they are young, G-d help you when they get older. JMO.

Piggybacking on your post @Newto, some women never learn that fact. Leopards never change their spots! I recall many friends who said, "oh once we are married he will stop hanging out with his friends on friday nights!" "Once we are married, he will be more loving or tidier (or whatever it was....)" To me there was nothing new to learn in this article - same ish, different day. Peter plays to the audience. All that others mentioned above IMO is a way to make sure that most people still like him. What about this one, when asked about being the bachelor?
"I feel like you lose control and I’m definitely a control freak. There’d be a lot I wouldn’t have final say on, and that would be hard for me.”
“If it were to come up again,” says the single hunk, “I would definitely consider it.” Why? All JMHO
