It’s that time! ABC has released the photos and bios of the 25 men who will go on TV to win the heart of one woman through a series of embarrassing challenges and highly orchestrated dates on The Bachelorette.
For the next week (until the new season premieres), fans can sit and stare at the slightly creepy head shots of these fantasy men, and pick apart bios, careers (an Amateur Sex Coach? Really?), favorite films, et cetera. ABC also asked them to reveal their biggest dating fears and the results, I assume, are like shining a flashlight into the darkest recesses of the male mind.
