The Bachelor: Fans Find Matt James Kissing With His Eyes Open Creepy

Fans of The Bachelor are reacting strongly to Matt James’s “eyes-wide-shut” approach to kissing, some even going so far as to call his kissing style “creepy” on social media. One photo of Bachelor Matt James kissing with his eyes open has garnered over 3000 likes on Instagram and boasts a lengthy comment section. It’s a picture from the most recent episode of The Bachelor, depicting a kiss between Bachelor Matt James and contestant Lauren Maddox. Controversially, Matt’s eyes are open, while Lauren’s remain closed.

Lauren Maddox is an accomplished corporate attorney from Miami. She is hoping for true love, a stable relationship, and a family-centric man in Matt James. Lauren has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, avoiding drama and already snagging a kiss from The Bachelor. Matt James is a successful real estate broker and entrepreneur from New York. Amazingly, Matt James is the first African-American Bachelor. He has carried the torch admirably and appears to many fans to be the total package. Indeed, his only flaw might be how he kisses.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

On Wednesday, The Bachelor fan account @bachelorusa posted the eye-catching photo from Monday night’s episode. While Lauren appears to be enjoying the moment, Matt still seems to be taking it all in. Fans were quick to comment, calling the kiss “creepy” and “weird.” These comments, more often than not, were followed by light-hearted emojis. Some fans claimed they had noticed this behavior in early previews for the current season. With fans like these, Matt James may need to keep his eyes peeled.

Matt James’s best friend Tyler Cameron even got in on the fun and shared the photo on Twitter. In response, Matt James gave the only public statement we’ve heard from either kisser so far: “Gotta make sure no one is sneaking up on us!” Obviously, Matt James is taking the jokes in stride. Other Instagram followers offered a similar defense for his eye-opening behavior.

In reference to another contestant and Los Angeles “Queen” Victoria Larson, fan @fit_sb4 said, “I’d be doing everything with one eye open too if Victoria was in the building.” @charishlane offered another comical view, joking “He’s got to make sure he’s thinking about the right girl when he’s kissing them!!” @saraheleise gave a deeper psychological perspective, suggesting “That might be his tell all – maybe he wasn’t feeling the kiss”.  Lauren Maddox certainly hopes these last comments are untrue.

Other fans reacted even more strongly to the photo. Many fans left emojis indicating distress, with some even vomiting. While @diggymoreland hoped “PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED!!”, @jojojamhom made a different point, adding “And he goes in with his mouth already open!” If we can be sure of anything, it’s this: this season of The Bachelor is still wide open, just like Matt James’s eyes (and mouth) when he’s kissing the contestants.
