I don't think much of the "Fantasy Suite" concept, either.

It's a "no-win" sitution for women.

 

If they refuse to spend the night wth the Bachelor, they will always wonder if that's the reason they were rejected (ie. didn't get a rose).

 

Alternatively, if they spend the night with the bachelor and still don't get a rose can you imagine what that would do to any womans' self-esteem?

 

I think that it's a "no-win" situation for women.

 

To answer your question, I suppose it's not some form of pimping because the women are not being paid for their services. Nor are they handing over any money to a third party outside of the relationship. That is a legalistic difference.

 

There is clearly gendered inequlity here. The WOMEN WAIT to be selected, by HIM, for whatever activity HE selects, when HE (in connection with production staff) decides to do it.

 

On an emotional/psychological level, I am sure some women leave the show deeply troubled at the outcome no matter how early (or late) they are rejected. That HAS to be DAMAGING to them, in psychological terms.

 

seriously!!!!!!

 He acts like women are not fellow humans, and instead chooses to characterize them by some subjective crap he invented to sell books. I found this episode, and the Bachelor show, deeply insulting to women and real relationships.

I don't understand your expression of pimping.  I believe this guy used a panel of male guests to help him evaluate each of the female guests as to how the panel of men interpreted each female.

 

It was the author's way of kind of saying, here's the proof of what I write.

 

I haven't read the book yet, so I can't tell you if in my opinion he is an extreme egotist or not, being we all kind of vibrate at different levels of thinking and perceiving the world.

 

Until I read his book and understand where he is a coming from and where he is a wanting to lead us women towards.

 

I have to admit that I didn't get to catch the entire show for it seems that everyone needs to reach me on the phone for my business at that time.  So I caught bits and pieces.

 

Obvious I missed the part about the sexual part a happening...

 

That part has thrown me into another direction...

 

Let me go back and look it over again.

Thanks
