Sure...but someone said that he never proposed to anyone else and that's simply not true. And, like you said, "it's not real life". This engagement to Lauren isn't anymore real than his engagement to Becca and that's why, IMO, no one is taking it seriously. Pay for the ring yourself, do it after more than 2 months of dating, do it privately, do it without begging for a TV wedding, etc. and if might mean something. IMO.

It must mean something if she packed up her stuff and moved to AZ to live with him. Jmho. Most Bach couples date long distance for a while and then move in together or break up.

I don’t know about that. Aaron broke up Helene too quickly. Jen moved immediately for Andrew. Blob and Estella ended quickly. Jesse and Jessica ended quickly. Mary moved quickly for Byron. Sarah moved quickly for Charlie. Travis and Sarah broke up quickly. Lorenzo broke up with Jen quickly. Not sure is Tessa moved for Andy. Brad picked no one. Matt and Shayne moved in immediately. Molly moved after a couple of months and actually being F2 not F1. Vienna moved to LA for Jake and DWTS right away. Emily never moved for Brad and broke up by June. Courtney moved in with Ben quickly, right, I remember them having Ash and JP over. Cat moved to Sean right away. Whitney actually did move to LA for Chris and DWTS right away then escaped after a month or two. Lauren B 1.0 moved right away for Ben. Vanessa was in LA with Nick immediately. So nope Lauren is not unique in joining Arie right away.

Wooo... well when you word it like that all together! laugh out loud

You know what will impress me? The first Bachelor that moves for the woman. Lordy. That’s what stuck out to me. 22 seasons of this $hit, and not one dude willing to do the moving. Even adding in the Ette and BIP (or Bachelor Pad, for that matter), it’s almost always the woman doing the sacrificing here.

That one is easy.

@sosleepy yes! I always wonder that! The few 'ettes at least moved for their guys so why can't any of the Bachelors? Yes it worked for M/J and S/C but would be nice if a guy did it once.

Bryan moved for Rachel. Jordan moved for JoJo. Both of those guys were labeled as players, baddies, etc. just like Arie. Guess they each found the right woman. It happens.

by sosleepy Thu Apr 19, 2018 6:34 pm

Bryan, Jordan (and Roberto and Jef... go figure) are legitimately the only guys in Bachelor history that ever moved for the woman. And this includes the spin off stuff too.

Sad.

Geez if Arie moved for Lauren then, His chances would have increased laugh out loud

. He’s in the drivers seat in Scottsdale and it’s Libby’s disadvantage with many of his exes shopping at the same stores imo.

by sosleepy Thu Apr 19, 2018 6:38 pm

I think if Arie HAD moved for Lauren, I’d actually believe this “love story” a tad more. As it is, just same ole, same ole. Girl disrupts life, moves to dude’s hometown advantage.

And that woman will be engaged to another man in about 2-3 weeks. Just saying that is the name of the game with this show. It's not a real life thing. IMO it's what happens after the show.

Word! To me a Bach engagement means, let's date and see if this leads to marriage. Apparently, Arie missed Lauren and realized he made a mistake when he chose Becca.

Which is what the 3 'ette couples are doing years in with no marriage yet where Arie and Lauren want to get married ASAP. They haven't even had time to hang out in Scottsdale since he's been racing. Yes they went on vacation but let's see what happens when they are home and have to deal with bathroom habits and all that homey stuff. He hardly did that with Becca since he was lying to her and getting ahold on Becca. Rolling Eyes

AJMO.

I just honestly don't get what Lauren or any woman sees in him. Like 5 years ago when he was still hot and had sex appeal I could understand it but he looks like a frickin' crusty old geezer now. It floors me this guy is actually younger than Nick and Bryan. All JMO! laugh out loud

Yes, but Arie isn't 28. As I have said before, if he wants kids, he better get it in gear. He isn't getting any younger. Lauren has time, but his clock is ticking, imho. How do I know this? I am an older parent and I will admit, somedays it is tough to keep up with little ones. They are downright exhausting.
