Do guys like Ed exist?

So if someone says they like touching children, then you would like that person? Are you a pedophile, phatbeats33? Or are you a hypocritical follower?

Someone needs to retake Trolling 101; you've played your hand far too early.
 
[MENTION=22768]tilliii[/MENTION] I know it seems adorable and harmless with its barely functioning brain but we mustn't feed the troll.
 
1. Well mannered

To be honest, I don't even know if we've really seen this on the show. It's just one of those, 'this is the image of ed' that is presented. I don't even know if it's accurate. I would say he has good manners but I can't even really think of any examples. Jade says he opens doors for women? A lot of people do.

Is it well mannered to constantly be talking shit about someone?

He's not crude or crass, but then that's just personality.



2. Takes care of his body/looks

He was a professional athlete not very long ago. That is where it comes from. He probably still just has that mindset.

He is also very vain. To be in that shape, to put so much attention into your stubble isn't exactly a display of a healthy mindset.


3. Treats women with respect

Are you having a laugh? It's all just superficial. His treatment of Jade has been quite terrible. The problem is, she sucked up enough to his massive ego that he likes her around. Literally as far as I can tell, most of their relationship is Jade saying how wonderful he is.

It reminds me of something that was on four corners a few years back about the sex scandals in rugby. It showed rugby players being shown films to educate them. It was a film with something like one guy brought a girl home drunk. After he was done having sex with her he left the room. Later in the night another guy went in and slept with her. Asked to give their opinions, a lot of the players didn't think anything wrong had occurred. I specifically remember one of them explaining how they treated her well, they called her a taxi was one of the examples.


This is an extreme example but it highlights this problem. Where some people see some superficial niceness/kindness as all that matters. Not the important part about how you actually treat someone.

That is all Ed is. It's all superficial.

He may be leading her on, treating her quite badly. However because he'll open a door here and there. Say the odd nice thing, there for it's all ok.

He knows she's fallen for him. He is just counting on when the show is over it's over with her.

When she's talking about moving to Melbourne. He needs to show her some respect and tell her whether he wants her to or not. He clearly doesn't, but would rather lead her on.

Probably because he thinks it's be rude and bad mannered to upset her. Which goes back to the superficial, not well intentioned way he acts.

If anything you could argue his attitude is incredible chauvinistic and demeaning towards woman.



4. Mature minded

No, he just speaks quite carefully. He thinks before he speaks a lot of the time. This isn't a bad quality, but you can't mistake it with being mature.

This is just presenting an image. Nothing he ever actually says is particularly intelligent or mature. He just speaks more formally than others. With more care.


5. Stands up for what he believes

What does he believe in? He's essentially an empty vessel. He's a facade. There's nothing else there.


6. Educated (Bachelor of Finance)


Neither here nor there.
 
[MENTION=4923]up_all_night[/MENTION] agree with everything expect "he just speaks quite carefully. He thinks before he speaks a lot of the time."
I doubt he mumbles that much in his head. if he does it's amazing and miraculous he's a functioning person. It would be interesting to get inside his head and see what the hell goes on in there cos I have no clue really. He does seem to think a lot, but his arguments never make sense. example: when he confronted Tully with the crazy eyes and went on about Drew using her. he barely speaks to Drew, but he seemed so sure of it. I think he has some form of psychosis.
 
I'm married to a bloke that everyone I know actually has the balls to say, to my face; "He's lovely!".

And he is. We've been together since he was 18. He's nearly 28. I'm a *tad* older, lol.

And, again: He is. He's "A nice bloke". I'd love for him to say "I hate my job". I'd love for him to say "I want a new car". I'd love for him to say "ARHAHAHAHAH"; but; he doesn't. I have to read signals, and nudge in the right direction.

And; yeah; I love my non-alpha, hard-working, super-intelligent, utterly sexy man.

(and he thinks BB is "stupid shit"; but leaves me to it).

Mine's Ed. Without the expectation, attitude, or "body". And you know; he can do the job just like any other bloke :) *

*multiple grins.
 
The Ed list:

1. Well mannered
2. Takes care of his body/looks
3. Treats women with respect
4. Mature minded
5. Stands up for what he believes
6. Educated (Bachelor of Finance)

Ed should be all those things, he lists them, but he has NOT executed well at all........

To the OP, you do realise Ed is a Catholic boy, and these are the basics taught in any Catholic education???
Plus a lot more.

Ed needs to work on a lot of that list, and bet he went to boys school

You are a lucky woman, Ayr. May you always have joy with your Bizzarro Ed. :D
 
I've seen a lot of hate for Ed lately which I think is partly due to editing to spice up ratings.

From what I have seen Ed is:

1. Well mannered
2. Takes care of his body/looks
3. Treats women with respect
4. Mature minded
5. Stands up for what he believes
6. Educated (Bachelor of Finance)

Australia likes to knock people off their perch (tall poppy syndrome) and I think he is a good role model for young boys on to how to behave/conduct yourself.

Are people really that unhappy with their lives that they must project their insecurities on this guy?

I don't get the hate either.

I mean who hasn't had an adorer like Jade, who dispute multiple verbal shunnings still comes back for a spoon and a pash when you have no one better? I have had a few Jades and been the Jade. It astounds me how socially inept some of the posters in here are. It would seem their relationship experience is based on their Twilight/50 Shades of Grey reading matter, rather than real life human interaction.

But in saying that, while I think he is a nice enough guy, he doesn't fluff my feathers in a get on top and ride him like Sea Biscuit kind of way.

Would you be a Jade on TV?
