Susie Evans Reveals ‘The Most Disgusting and Frustrating Thing’ About Dating in L.A.
Getting candid.
Bachelor Nation fans saw Susie Evans and Clayton Echard find love on Season 26 of “The Bachelor,” and they moved in together in Virginia after the show.
Susie and Clayton eventually split last October but have been continuing to support each other on social media since their breakup.
Now, Susie is living in Los Angeles and just took to TikTok to share some honest and vulnerable thoughts about negative dating experiences she had in L.A.
While eating her dinner, Susie said, “I’m having a really deep thought about something I’m going through right now. A few weeks ago when I went on ‘The Viall Files,’ Nick asked me what the one thing that’s driving me nuts about dating in L.A. is. I didn’t really have much of an answer because I haven’t really done a lot of dating. I feel like everyone is really career-driven out here and maybe I’m a part of the problem. No. There’s a bigger problem happening and it doesn’t really have to do with the dating culture, although it kind of does. It does!”
The Bachelor Nation star went on and shared that she’s noticed men lure her in with business opportunities and eventually spin it into a date.
Susie shared, “The thing I find the most annoying about dating in L.A. is when I’m not even trying to date. For example, a man approaches me with a business opportunity and I’m down to get together with this person to work on this project. Then, this person asks to take me out and wants to date me and get to know me on a different level. When I express that I’m not interested, all of those business opportunities get just pulled out from underneath you. It’s fine. I make money on social media, I have a videography business, I film weddings, I am good. I don’t need your business if it means I have to date you.”
She went on, saying, “I just find that to be the most disgusting and frustrating thing that I have experienced. Now I see how when people move to big cities and are trying to make something new, people see them as vulnerable and try to capitalize on it. I am so grateful that I don’t give a sh*t about money. I don’t need this person’s opportunity. I literally can’t be bothered.”
And while Susie said she’s always been someone to give people grace, she is drawing the line with situations like this.
She concluded her video by saying, “I’ve always been the type of person who will lead with kindness. I’ve never burned a bridge with any work opportunity and I’ve always left every job on a positive note. But I’m at a point right now where I will be the bitchiest bitch. I get why people who have had these experiences before become so hard on the exterior and not trusting of people. I get it. So you won’t catch me being nice. I literally don’t give a sh*t.”
