The majority of the women vying for 36-year-old Luyendyk are in their early- to mid-twenties, with only six in their thirties. "I think it’s more about the person and if they’re ready for marriage and how mature they are," says Luyendyk. "Some women are far beyond their years and some women are very immature in their thirties — I’ve dated younger, older." ALSO: A Bachelor contestant named Kendall has a twin sister named Kylie.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. is the most boring Bachelor ever, even worse than his many dull predecessors (http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/the-bachelor-most-boring-season-ever.html)
The problem with this season is not the women, says Kathryn VanArendonk. “The issue,” she says, “is that Arie Luyendyk Jr. has less charisma than one of his beloved antique cars in an auto museum. Like Arie, those antique cars are mostly inert. But at least they feel unusual. They’re conversation pieces. Arie, meanwhile, may be perfectly nice in life, but as a Bachelor, he’s about as remarkable as a Kia Sorento. He’s functional. He gets the J.D. Powers award for “highest in initial quality,” which is what you say about something you don’t actually want to have to live with for any length of time. And he’s being given the most boring Bachelor edit imaginable.”
