I have enormous respect for him when he said the ideal age range is 60-70. I'm sure producers will push the envelope on it, but Gerry is the real deal, wholesome, and has his priorities in order. He desires someone with equal amount of wisdom and life experience.
What a sweet, intelligent, kind and soft spoken man. I hope he finds gentle and happy love ❤
I love how well spoken he is. So positive. I can't wait for the show!
he’s so sweet and pure, i can’t wait for this
The guy lives 2 counties from me. He's not so sweet & definitely not pure 😂
@@mariatea5881 I read a comment on instragram that said the same thing. Guess his late wife confided in her hairdresser...
He is the full package. His attitude, articulate manner, and positivity just sparkles. I know he will have a positive impact on, but it looks like to date after 60 and that love and happiness is entirely possible after loss of your long-term spouse. I will be watching for sure.
Honestly I haven’t been excited for the Bachelor in a really long time,and no bachelor/bachelorette has ever been able to make me tear up or cry no matter how romantic the proposal is (just always seemed phony to me)…but after watching Gerry’s promos and interviews, I am SO incredibly excited for this season!!!! Finally a normal mature man who’s not there to play tonsil hockey with all the women! And not only that, but Gerry’s story about Toni and how he got so emotional regarding his wife’s death made me fucking CRY. Jesus Christ, we need to protect this man at all costs, and I sincerely hope that he finds that special lady❤
I love how he doesn't talk down about younger people and keeps a very positive attitude, I'm excited for his season
Same thought. He seems kind and wise. We need more people like him.
He is a very sincere man I hope production will not blow his mind by doing toxic things
You know that they run off of drama
I hope they would respect him enough. And keep it positive. With classy candidates.
Oh they will. The only thing that is respected is ratings, nothing else matters.
Haven't watched the bachelor in YEARS but I will be watching this 🥹
Same here.
Same here!
He's going to be great. You know my grandfather was married to my grandmother for 49 years before died of lung cancer. He loved her and felt so alone after. He was 75 when she died and he remarried a year and half later. He needed the companionship. He still had a picture of my grandmother next to his bed and in his wallet. My grandfather lived to 95 and passed away in 2019. I will say at 11 years old, I was upset when he remarried, but now as adult I understand. Gerry's love for his wife is strong and real, but he still young. He could live another 25 years. Having that person just enjoy life with will be good for him. Hoping he finds love.
I'm so excited for him! He seems so incredible and very much in it for the right reasons! He reminds me of my very intelligent late grandfather. This will be a great show!
I think he is the complete package! I applied, but did not get The Call! Can't wait for the show!
Can’t wait! I always wanted to see a mature bachelor/bachelorette show.
Omg this man is too pure for the show! Protect him at all costs❣️
I have been waiting for this show for some time.
I love this! I'm 56, so I can't be on either show. Maybe there will be a Silver Bachelorette series!
What a wonderful man .
I like the idea of this new show. Will see how will run the show and the candidates. Its time to see something different, more mature and less drama queens ( and plastic) He sounds very genuine. Great candidate! I wish all the best.
I’m so excited for his season! 🥰
He’s a true example of love is possible
Being 61 myself, I'm looking forward to seeing Gerry's love life play out. I hope there'll be a lot less drama than the younger set, and that he'll find a real "down to earth" gal he can find something deep with. I also hope he'll be able to not compare his new love interest to his long time love/marriage. This will definitely be a brand new uncharted path for him. I'm enamored with him already. Can't wait to see him in action.😍🌹🥰🎉
I love this guy❤..really hope he has a great experience
“People on the lake, pickle ball friends…” 😅
I have a feeling i’m gonna cry A LOT this season 😭
WE are so excited to see the Golden Bachelor:)
Am looking forward to show
Hope he finds a good love match.🌹
Can't wait to watch.
What a true gentleman! He could cross my path any day.
I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT! WE RIDE FOR GERRY 🤲
He seems like a great guy !
I hope the producers don't screw him over...i don't think they will though,i think they will go back to basics with him
Screwing over someone equals ratings.
Such a great man. I put in my application in - but did not get the call. Darn. Would have been amazing to date Gerry.
Wow, he's really nice...well presented and intelligent! Wish I was on the show lol
Love this guy!
He’s so adorable
He must have been a very kind and loving husband for his daughters to push him to apply. I can't imagine it would easy to see your dad with someone other than your mom.
Finally can't wait!!!
How is he 71?
Gary is a very intuitive intelligent and very kind insensitive to a woman's emotions.. which is very attractive yes he certainly is a good catch
The producers better not screw this up! They have a knack of making the lead "the bad guy".
They love drama
I'm in love❤❤ Certainly wish him the best. Somehow, I wish I was one of the Bachelorettes
can't wait to see the women😊
I so understand the disloyalty feeling. It is fun to watch this but so scary to make this leap. Wishing you the best. I have never very watched this show until this. I barely know how to spell pickle ball so I am out and he likes Helen Mirren, so I was never a contendant. Nor do I want to be but this is cool!
43 years- "decades and decades..." 😂
Right? Just say four decades, dummy 😂
I fall in love with him just watching him.
He seems like a really good guy I hope the show doesn't turn it againest him and he stays true to himself.
I am 54 .Want to meet you Gerry.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I could have been one of the women!
I'm 40 i want to put my application 😂😂. Nice Man
Very decent
Handsome🍁 man beautiful Ellen
The women coming are beautiful ❤
I Hope the producers don’t ruin the show and make it not reality
there's gonna b one diva in the bunch😂🎉4 sure
I was right!!lol
I'm excited to see Gerry and how he tames some of the women,☺️ They seem kinda 🔥 spicy. Woohoo
the hottest so far for the show inside n out
Very handsome, nice bachelor. He should have had a pick of 40-60 yr old women if he said " feel free to blur the lines..." on the age range.
Any woman under 60 is way too young for this mature, well spoken, intelligent, positive, awesome, man who certainly deserves a fabulous woman who has excellent values herself! I so hope with crossed fingers and everything good in this world, that he meets his next Mrs. Right! 🙂. Let's do find out this coming Thursday!
he prefers women closer to his age as many men do.
🙏❤️ Gerry I am on Your Positive Team 🥒😂 and Praying 🙏 You find a Second Love and Companion. 💋
the show should have name ...The senior club hunting hah hah
Good for him. Now when we getting the first queer Bachelor/Bachelorette?
I hope never, God help us
@Beverleyrog yikes, you need to work on being more accepting of people who are different from you.
Colton lol
Yessss Down with the boring heterosexuals. We need queer love to rule the franchise
There was once a gay bachelor show, called Finding Prince Charming. It didn't really work at all.
Hi Gerry sure would love to meet you love to cook hold hands n hugs I'm retired fun friendly your be age will never get old my man passes 6 years ago your tall n blue eyes
I think the minimum
Age should be 40 not 60.
I do not agree with you! Go back and read what Gerry is lacking and wanting. A woman of 40 is not going to understand the kind of love Gerry is seeking. Especially when a man has lost a wonderful wife of 43 yrs. to a horrible illness! I so wish I was one of the candidates. Problem is - Gerry is not my faith. Most likely! Can't wait to watch this excitement Thursday night on TV! 🙂
Why wasn't it a woman? For shame
Which one of those old ladies is going to give him an STI first?
That is so darn right cruel of you to post. Besides these ladies are not old, as you mention. Many of them are gorgeous, stunning, and should be entitled as well to a chance at love too! 🙂 I hope you find yourself so wrong about the fortunate lady who wins Gerry's heart!
@@janlevine2707 Yes that was a cruel thing to say. Those old women are just there on the show for a little bit of fame and attention they think they’re entitled to. There comes a time when a person must accept that they will never find love because of the choices they made. Besides, who would want to look at those old wrinkled bodies anyway. Cruel enough?
None of them. They all have to be s t d free in order to qualify to be on the show.
