This time, one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\/tv\/where-can-you-follow-the-the-bachelor-contestants-the-instagram-accounts-of-joey-graziadeis-whopping-32-women-revealed\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many women competing for bachelor Joey\u2019s heart<\/a> admitted that \u2014  because most of the other women are in their early to mid-20\u2019s \u2014 she \u201cfeels old.\u201d That woman, named Madina, backed up her statement by revealing that she\u2019s 31 years of age. Utterly shocking! This was not as utterly shocking, however, as two of the women <a href=\"https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\/tv\/a-suggestive-banana-secret-sisters-and-5-other-wild-moments-from-joey-graziadeis-the-bachelor-debut\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revealing that they are sisters<\/a>, but then we were offered a strange subplot that spun into some unnecessary drama.<\/p>\n<p>Another woman on the show, Maria, is 29 (shocking!) but, contrary to Madina, she actually doesn\u2019t seem to feel that she is too old to compete for love on ABC\u2019s rosy show. She even suggested to a few of the others that Madina\u2019s mentality is rather foolish. Madina heard this suggestion through someone else and took a bit of an exception to it, leading Maria to have to explain herself to Madina, though it seems Madina didn\u2019t want to hear it. It\u2019s kind of funny how one of the oldest women on the show is still immature \u2014 and that alone somewhat proves that 31 isn\u2019t \u201ctoo old.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Maria wasn\u2019t even saying anything bad??

The bachelor himself, <a href=\"https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\/tv\/what-is-the-bachelor-star-joey-graziadeis-age-birthday-and-star-sign\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joey Graziadei<\/a>, is 28 years old. If he were 20, then I might actually agree that Madina is too old for him at 31. But he isn\u2019t 20. <em>He\u2019s 28.<\/em> This gives Madina and Maria an advantage, because they are closer in age to the object of their desire than a lot of the other women are. Joey is, so far, seemingly very mature in how he carries himself, so this also means that Madina and Maria could have an added element that attracts him. <\/p>\n<p>What their age definitely does not do is make them \u201ctoo old\u201d for him. Whereas Maria wisely sees her age as an advantage, Madina sees hers as a stumbling block, as she\u2019ll be having to compete with younger women. Ultimately, Joey will theoretically choose who is right for him. It\u2019s doubtful that he will choose someone based strictly on her age, especially when no one really looks any younger than anyone else.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why does this show keep adding these 30-is-too-old plot lines to a show where probably the majority of viewers are women above 30 like<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheBachelor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheBachelor<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bachelor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#bachelor<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2NEqVIMVx2\">pic.twitter.com\/2NEqVIMVx2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bach Rants (@bach_rants) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bach_rants\/status\/1752158744606060871?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 30, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The irony of this drama is that, for many years, viewers have expressed their displeasure at the show\u2019s constant casting of twenty-somethings. The stunned reactions on social media on the rare occasion that a 35-year old is on the show is almost sad, and that person always becomes the center of attention for being \u201cWhoa, so much older!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>So, the producers responded by casting 60-75 year olds for a totally different version of the show, leaving 30-60 year olds \u2014 which is the age demographic most viewers of the show fall into  \u2014 in <em>The Bachelor<\/em> dust. This likely adds to the mentality of someone like Madina, who sees that being 31 on this particular show is a rarity. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m too old for The Bachelor and too young for The Golden Bachelor.

If such a man only wants to date younger women, then he likely doesn\u2019t deserve to be the lead on the show. Also, instead of casting a bachelor of approximately the same age every season \u2014 with a couple of exceptions \u2014 then each season should be slightly different in relation to the age of the contestants. I can\u2019t see how this could ever be a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>One selling point that the producers can indisputably benefit from is more success stories. Considering that the average age of a <em>Bachelor<\/em> female contestant is 26, then it\u2019s safe to say that age is a contributing factor for the failure of many of these <em>Bachelor<\/em> engagements. Anyone is much more likely to be wiser at 36 than 26, especially considering they will have a significantly better idea about what they truly want in a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, producers seem to think otherwise, and as long as they push the idea of the show being centered mostly around 26-year olds, than it will always make a 31-year-old woman feel like an exception and out of place when, in reality, she\u2019d be perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"type:primaryImage\"
