Honestly, I dated a man who was 48 years old and much like Arie. He was an attractive man still and even with the woman he called the love of his life, he still cheated.  I think some people just do not have the ability to settle down and be faithful.  Is this Arie? I don't know, but since he hasn't managed monogamy before, I don't know that age is the magical answer.  There is a difference between men who are serial daters and men who cheat. Maybe Arie met his one with Lauren or maybe Lauren was the easy out from his not magical choice of Becca. JMO.

Men like him just keep moving from one to another till they find one that accepts their crap, cheating, and lies. a women who has a backbone will not be okay with someone like Arie and will just move the hell on. However, there is a lot of women who stay despite been treated like that, and just live with whatever the man offers even if it's not healthy or fair. JMO

Arie is used to a far different life than Becca is. She is solid, he is gaseous.

I feel the same . But he did choose her and now we’ll get insight to his character in how he gets out of it. Callously disposing of an innocent party while you’re setting up your next main squeeze is quite low . It reminds me of Courtney saying by the next day after an argument with Arie, he flew another girl in to a concert and told her it’s not a good idea if Courtney came but he couldn’t resist photo ops posted on SM. I think he and Mr Ben might be compete for a second try to find love on TB next season (yes snarky me). Or maybe not .

I can't get into a lot of these discussions and so have stayed on the sidelines pretty much. Just me. 
He isn't the worst I have seen on the show, nor the best. 
I guess it's all in perspective. I probably watch too much ID channel and murder all day. 
That shows how interested I am in the show that I have to watch murder.

Maybe she was in on setting up the storyboard....

“Guys like Arie” are what all the girls want ....the ungettable ... cuz they have what it takes to settle them down Athletes and celebs get panties thrown at them all the time .... I’m sure it’s quite flattering. One day he’ll find the girl that makes him throw the panties back is it Lauren? Time is the only way to tell....

@Kashathediva I love ID too. Watch way too much of it. I don't think Arie is the worst person in the world. I do think he is selfish and lacks empathy. That doesn't make you a horrible person, just maybe not the best guy to date. JMO

I watch ID by osmosis. LOL 
I think a lot of people are selfish and lack empathy. JMO Fortunately, most of us are not on a weekly tv show.

Most of us don't put ourselves on a weekly tv show, once and especially not twice. When I thought there was a chance of Josh Murray being the bachelor and one of my friends is a UGA grad who is always attracted to big, kind of douchy men, I tried to convince her to consider it. She simply laughed at me.

Arie chose this. He was played twice by TPTB and not chosen as the bachelor, so I am sorry, but he gets no pity from me that we are seeing his flaws. He willingly put them out there for the whole world to see and yes, judge, because that is what we do with reality tv. I think Arie may not be the smartest guy, but he isn't the dumbest either. JMO.

@Kashathediva and @stuckinsc -- Just love your postings!!!

Viewers will see exactly how the season plays out, as both final women and Luyendyk sat down with Chris Harrison, a production source confirmed. “ABC isn’t worried this will hurt the franchise. They’re excited to have a dramatic ending,” the insider said.

Do they mean all three sat with CH at the same time?

I like ABC's comment, they aren't worried, they like dramatic endings.

Guess what channel I have on right now

Another one with murder all day long is Oxygen. And, if I want lighthearted murder, it is Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
