[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a good article from yahoo regarding if Rachel settled.

I'm seriously confused about how the author came up with this article. People are surprised that Rachel chose Bryan over Peter because they could see the honest and real connection that Rachel and Peter had for one another. It has nothing to do with some expectation on how black women should behave. [/quote]

Why does Peter's feelings always seem more valid than Rachel's? How is it settling to go on a show where the end game is love and engagement and choose the person that you are in love with and wants to marry you? If we respect the choice Peter makes, that no matter how much he cares for a woman, he isn't going to propose after 8-9 weeks, we also should respect the choice Rachel makes in choosing the person she feels "wants the same things she wants and wants it with her".  I see pace of relationship as being something people need to be on the same page.

What frustrated me about Peter was that he would put her choices down to lift up his own and then social media would take that and run. The narrative is that she was throwing everything away because she wants a promise of marriage.  You could turn that around and say that he is throwing everything away because he doesn't.  The truth is they equally have the right to pursue what they want and no one is throwing anything away - they weren't a good match.

I agree with everything that you said. Both have the right to make the best decision for themselves. I however disagreed with the writer of the article who claims that people are giving Rachel a hard time for her decision because society punishes black women who  are in control. [/quote]
