There is a new golden bachelor on the town, however I am undecided if he shall be as polished as earlier gents in his place.
In Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor, the fortunate main man is Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL participant who was a linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams.
Earlier than the NFL, he performed school soccer for the College of Michigan Wolverines, and let me inform you, it is fairly apparent as a result of he is obtained the problematic locker room discuss down pat.
On a June 10 episode of the Michigan soccer podcast MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen, Mel revealed what he is searching for within the bachelorettes for the upcoming season premiere. He stated through the casting course of, the producers requested him,” ‘What’s your preferences?’ so I simply stated, ’45 to 60,’ simply being sincere.”

Mel stated he defined that lower is “an NFL time period.”
However he did not cease there. Elaborating on his age parameters, like he is recruiting a highschool senior quarterback, he stated, “They have to be match, as a result of I keep in form and work out and stuff. And I advised them to attempt to avoid the substitute hips and the wigs. That sort of stuff.”
Sadly, Mel’s feedback are going viral, and the reactions on the r/thebachelor Reddit thread present that individuals are not too happy.

I am positively not watching, until solely ladies who need to inform him off apply for the only real goal of doing so on-air,” one other consumer wrote.
This particular person wrote, “Locking in my prediction now: he will decide one of many youngest ladies on his season, dump her inside six months, and by this time subsequent yr he’ll be going to Bachelor hangouts and flirting with the 20-somethings.
“Ew, actually? Males who can’t recognize ladies their very own age and demand youthful ladies are gross. I’m so grateful my husband solely appears to seek out me extra enticing as I age! And why shouldn’t he? He’s getting old too, one thing these males all to typically overlook 🤦🏻♀️,” one other particular person stated.
