There may be a contradiction in that title for certain men and women. Yes I watched more episodes than I missed of The Bachelorette. This is a fact that I do not scream from the rooftops for all my friends to hear. However I do write an article on the internet. Go figure.

Let me preface the rest of the article by saying I would not have watched the show if my wife had not been so enthusiastic about it. She kind of forced my interest. I do watch The Bachelor with her as well but somehow that seems more manly since you are watching 25 attractive girls vying for the affection of just one “dude” instead of the other way around.

That being said the finale of The Bachelorette was a shocker for most. The beauty DeAnna Pappas picked the professional snowboarder Jesse Csincsak (no that is not a typo).

It was a rather satisfying finish for myself since Jesse is a guy’s guy. Jason Mesnick, the runner up if you will, was the pretty boy.

Jason was actually one swell guy. He did come with baggage that included a divorce and a young son. That is par for the course nowadays and I really do not think it played much in DeAnna’s decision.

My wife was in shock when the DeAnna’s choice became apparent. She was highly disappointed that she did not pick the “cute” one.

As far as I am concerned DeAnna deserves kudos for that decision. It is not all about looks.

At times Jesse was awkward and appeared nervous as he went outside of his comfort zone in what appeared to be an honest attempt to do what it would take to impress DeAnna. That to me showed sincere interest and desire. That says much more than some smooth operator who uses the same lines that he has used countless other times with countless other women.

Sure Jesse “bumps” fists instead of shaking hands, and uses words like “rad”. He’s 26, he’s a snowboarder, who cares?

Jason certainly would have offered stability, security, love and a hefty 401k. Jesse offered a little of the unpredictable, a little excitement, love, and more than a reasonable shot at financial security.

I can not fault her for her decision. Ultimately it is each person’s decision who they pick to “hopefully” spend the rest of their lives with. It has nothing to do with us or what we think.

The moral of this story is, “you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
