Arie Luyendyk Jr. @ariejr treats women's hearts the way he treats a race car: use them for a quick thrill, a bit of fame, a few sponsorship deals, and eventually we see he's not even a winner, he's more of a quick sprint than "endurance series" guy #TheBachelor #TheBachelorFinale

As for Arie he revealed he was prepared for public backlash following his shocking behavior, but told US Weekly he is happy with his decision, saying, “I am very happy and it’s been an experience that I will remember forever. I really have no regrets doing it. All I can say is that I’m very happy.”
“At the end of the day, it’s all about finding that person for myself and being happy after all this. I really feel like I will be.”
