[quote=Anonymous]I don't think he was really in love with Charity and didn't feel that bad getting rejected.

I think Joey is scared to be rejected because he knows the producers picked him to be the lead and he doesn't want to fail publicly.

I listen to Nick Viall's podcast off and on.  He thought that Joey was telling different women, especially Maria, that they should not fret because they MIGHT be the final one.  Like being among the final 4-6 contestants is comforting.  Nick says Joey is not internalizing that each woman who is fretting IS ACTUALLY wanting to BE THE FINAL woman.  They already have their hearts in it and they are visualizing being engaged to him.  Joey telling them that they are in the top 4 is cold comfort and suggests that Joey doesn't really understand how invested the women are at this point because HE must not have been all that invested in getting engaged to Charity.

That makes sense to me.

I don't see Joey having much emotion for any of the women.  Past bachelors or bachelorettes have either been gushing over a couple of guys or freaking out that they are falling for more than one person.  Joey seems very chill... emotionally polite, but distant.  I don't think Joey is actually envisioning himself getting married or engage.  He seems to be looking for someone to date.

I don't usually say this about the couples before the show ends, or even when it does end.... but I see a break up within 12 mons.  Joey's not the kind of 28 yr old who has marriage on the brain.  Maybe when he's 35, he'll be down for it.  There is nothing about his history or his current life that says, "Let's settle down, buy a house and have kids."  He can't even "settle down" to one city.

Speaking of which ---- we really don't know ANYTHING about Joey other than he plays tennis and he is a decent listener.  We know nothing about his goals, he doesn't seem to have a job or own a home.  He's not attached to any city.   Who IS he?  Right now he's just a blank slate for the women to project their imaginations onto.      [/quote]
