No. I'm not saying FOR SURE that he's in a slower speed in real life. But the life he set up for himself and his late wife was to hang at the lake house and play pickleball. We don't know how much he wants a go-getter/ carpe diem woman vs a woman who enjoys the simple life.

You are sounding like he is a typical, sedentary 70 something.

Most people that age do not have his physique, do not play any sport and do not own a lake house.

He is way above average for his age.

He also WENT ON A REALITY TV SHOW!!!! So, above all else, I think that shows were is mind set is these days. Up for adventure for sure!

Was there no suitable house for filming with Leslie in Minneapolis? What is that about? I can't imagine that loft place, whatever it was, being what the producers would prefer -- hometown is about seeing how they live, and under the circumstances we didn't see much of that with regard to Leslie.

Leslie is a long-time single mom with little money, from what I understand. My guess is that she lives in a small apartment that wasn’t suitable for filming.

In what way is Leslie a go-getter though? She lives in Minneapolis, is a fitness instructor (so probably PT), and presumably spends a lot of time with her family. Fitness+family-oriented seems like a very good fit with him. Yes, she dated Prince but that was a loong time ago.

Wait! What? How do we know she dated Prince?

. I would need proof like photos not hearsay

I forgot about this. Prince to Gerry ... lol. I would not want Gerry if I were her.

She's had a history of bad relationships with guys who cheat. Maybe a stable, financially comfortable, fit, family-oriented man would be great for her at this stage in her life. He's definitely vanilla, but the opposite never worked out for her.

If Gerry is, at heart, at a time in life where he wants to keep it simple, then Faith and Leslie are not going to be the right "speed" for him. Theresa might be more on that speed level.

That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with Faith, or Leslie or Theresa or Gerry. It's just a matter of finding someone who wants to live life at the same pace as you.
