The Bachelor: A show about a man dating multiple women. Primarily watched by women, who hate men that date multiple women. What gives?

Yes, I know the girls are aware that he's dating multiple women.

That's exactly why I hate the bachelor and bachelorette. Plus less than five of the couples from over twenty seasons are still together. It's especially pathetic that women are throwing themselves at one guy they might as well yell pick me pick me and vice versa for the bachelorette.

It's just a fantasy show. It's entertainment. Some girls like to watch that whole fake cheesiness thing. But at the same time, some of those feelings are real. It's almost like fantasy football. You choose who you think is going into the next round.

Uhm... there's a Bachelorette version too where there are many men and one girl. Also watched by women. It's called entertainment and we watch it for the intrigue and drama.

What about the Bachelorette?
What people like about the show is the drama, not the polygamy aspect. Possibly the idea of a guy picking you out of all those other girls

[UpperEchellon]

The Bachelorette is also primarily watched by women. Both shows convey a common fantasy for women: having a man with options pick you, and having your pick of hot men. From what I hear, the bachelorette usually just picks the hot, rich guy anyway.

Even though women hate men that date multiple women like you said, they still love men who are surrounded by multiple women. They would still date them but most hate them because their chances of being chosen to be that special girl is low.

It's probably best not to try and understand. I just accept that it makes no sense.

TV is purely entertainment. Just because I watch shows about zombies doesn't mean I actually want a zombie apocalypse to happen lmao.
