Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #4

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.

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.

@Aria I'm referring to the people on the supposed excel spreadsheet that apparently continued to have sex with him whenever he wanted.

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.

Those woman consented to sex... not to be subjected as row number 23, immortalized forever on Arie’s excell spread sheet complete with how they did it. I frame it in reference of my daughter - that’s my litmus test. Would I want her treated that way? Big fat no. Therefore, I find his behavior morally ambiguous at best.

Exactly.

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.

Totally disagree. Most do the quick move in thing, and the vast majority fail. In fact, looking at the only 2 Bachelor marriages, the opposite happened. One was long distance, and the other didn’t move in together until marriage. 

The quickie move and shack up means nothing to me.

Many couples have moved in together and broken up. See Ben/Courtney, Ben/Lauren, Jillian/Ed, Ali/Roberto, Marcus/Lacey, etc. I can go on and on.

And, IMO, one can't have it both ways. Becca/Arie were looking for houses together. She was willing to pack her bags and move too. If their engagement didn't mean anything, neither does Lauren/Arie's. If you think Arie/Lauren's engagement means something, then by simple logic, Arie/Becca's must too. IMO.

The bottom line is...time will tell. Will they make it to the altar? Will they split? Who knows. For now, I really believe they are enjoying being together. Good for them.

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.

^^ phew, all that moving just tired me out.
