The Bachelorette: Who is Ames?













Meet Ames, the 30 years old Banker competing for Ashley Hebert's heart on this season of THE BACHELORETTE!

Hometown: New York, NY

What is your most embarrassing moment? I had a teacher walk in on me while I was hooking up in boarding school.

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you bring and why? Paper + pen to design tools/plan. A Tolstoy novel because they take forever to understand.

Do you consider yourself athletic? Yes. I work out with a trainer 6 times every week.

What do you wish we had asked you? I love to wear a tuxedo. I can tie a bowtie perfectly while blindfolded.

Tattoo Count: 0

Um, hello? Three words: hot, smart, funny. If he's that physically fit, that well read, and that classy... seriously. Ashley would be missing out BIG time if she didn't explore what ELSE this guy could do while blindfolded! My chips are on this cutie tuxedo guy...

Ames sure does look good on paper. If he is the real deal then he is definitely the frontrunner, and the one worth dating. I hope Ashley doesn't let her insecurities get in the way of her judgement. This would be a total loss. For a seemingly smart girl (a dental student) I wonder why she is so insecure. Unless she went through intense analysis I don't think she's abadoned her insecurities since Brad's show. I'm still hoping she will pick Ames.

Looks like a nice Republican boy.

Nothing is more sexy than a smart, witty man. Although guys like JP might be adorable and good for a brief "fling," I would go with Ames in the long run. He is brilliant, and I find that a total turn on!

Wake up ladies! Ames is gay. He is a total closet case.

He is clearly gay. Which is fine, but why go on a show like this?

Anonymous said...

He is not gay maybe bi but so are so many other guys secretly. This simple interview shows how interesting and complex his personality is. Ames, come find me.

Ashley does not deserve to have Ames, she obviously does not want a good man!!! She wants some one to play around with not looking a good husband Ashley.....girl get with the program.....and forget the dots........Ames is the period!!! What a gentleman. I love him.

Anonymous said...

Ames is gay PERIOD! He wanted his 15 minutes of fame. Who knows why anyone would subject themselves to a reality show. I guess we should ask Paris Hilton or Kim K?!

I think the problem is women in America(myself included) are not use to the guys that have gentlemen qualities and when we see these qualities we identify them as being "gay." I don't think Ames is gay by far but has a different approach from the rest of the guys. I think he wants to actually get to know Ashley and not get so caught up in what makes good tv.

too bad he is now dating that ugly jackie gordon girl from Brad's season. He should have just gone on to be the bacherlor... not bachelor pad. Ames!!! its not too late.. dump her and be the bachelor.

He would have made the perfect Bachelor. He's very rich, comes from old money, has a great career, and he's highly educated. To top it off he's sweet.

Ames is the best out of all the guys i can see he's honest and a sweet guy Ashey probably won't pick him to bad cause i really see him with her i hope Ames will be the next bachlor he really deserves it i think Ashley will be alone at the end

Ames is gay
take it from someone -female who married a gay man

Ames is clearly gay! No doubt about it. He is so aloof. He is clearly not attracted to women. I am watching the show right now (July 18th) and I am sick to my stomach. Why, in this day and age would anybody try to force themselves not to be gay. Be who you are...and you'll make everyone happy. Especially yourself and the woman you spare from the misery.

Too bad that if a guy isn't walking around scratching his butt, curse, guzzle beer and wear football jersey then he MUST be gay! This is why women cry that "there are no good men left". Open your eyes!

Ames is far too good for Ashley. He should consider himself fortunate to have been rejected by Ashley.

Ames is the total package - other than not being interested in women.

I'm glad Ashley sent Ames back to NY. Now it's time for me to venture off Columbia's campus, find this hottie, and convince him to dump his new girlfriend.

It's a well known fact that 1/2 the graduates of Yale are gay.

Ames was the most gracious fantastic man being dumped by Ashley. I hope he reads this, what an awesome man. I just wish him real love, he's so cool and deserves such love. He's been through a lot of loss, so have I, want to wish him the very best!!

Ames is clearly NOT gay - he's was just born a few centuries too late. But he's such a sweetheart! I really hope they make him the next Bachelor!!!

Ames is rare perfection and deserves the best. Seriously, it's refreshing to see such a high-quality individual.

She should have not let him go just yet. It would have been more of a scandal if she picked him as the winner and then he came out. The producers probably put him in there figuring it would come out early that he's gay and that would give the ratings a boost. It didn't work. Better luck next time.

He's cute. He'll make another man happy someday as soon as he heads in the natural direction for him.

Don't know why everyone's saying Ames is gay. He's clearly straight. What airs on TV is whatever the editor's want to put on it, thus allowing to cast a person as they see fit (cue Michelle Money from last season, she's really an angel).

I would of just, loved to have had a moment with you,sitting under a Magnolia Tree. By the way you should venture to Seattle.:)Real woman are in the Northwest.:)

Please quit accusing Ames of being gay! Did you not see how awe-struck he was when he looked at Ashley? He was hot for her! He's not gay; he's just a sweet, gentle guy who is considerate, intelligent and well-mannered. I'm afraid that a classy man like Ames is so rare that many American girls don't know how to react. American pop culture has brainwashed us toward the bad boy/ hard to get image- crude, drinkers, poor manners, uber masculine. But is that what we really want/ need? Best example- Ashley was obsessed w/ Bentley, yet couldn't muster attraction for Ames. Bentley is the ultimate punk! Girls, Ames is the long-term guy we need more of in the world!

Ames is NOT gay you silly people - he is just PERFECT - Perfect does not make him gay lol

Anonymous said...

Ames is Perfect AND gay; one does not preclude the other. I have known many closet cases. My best friend in high school is gay and was back then but didn't come out to me until he was 19...2 years after he began dating men. before then, he always had a girl leaving his house when I went over there, looking all moist and disheveled. when he told me, I felt like a fool for denying my intuition about it. Of course I knew, but I denied it because I wanted him to be my husband! Instead, he became my stylist and we've been happy together for 30 years. I may not be able to recognize each and every closeted gay person, but anyone I have thought was gay since my friend came out to me, I've been right about. except maybe one, but the jury is still out.

Ames, YOU ARE AN AMAZING GUY! Any girl would be lucky to have you!

Ames! How could someone so poetic, sweet, and interesting even get onto a reality show? You are foxy as hell and will no doubt find true, lasting love before long.

AMES, PLEASE MEET ME, FALL IN LOVE WITH ME, AND MARRY ME. Sorry, my caps lock key got stuck for a second there.

Ames, thank you for staying true to who you are. I am so glad Ashley let you go as you do deserve better. On the home-town visits your sister could see right through her. Listen to her advice along your way to discovering love.
I mean, after all she was so obsessed with Bentley and look what type of a person Bentley is. I can see she's also so smitten with JP and he seems to have some issues himelf. Should make for an interesting union if they end up together. Ashley and JP both seem quite insecure.
Ames, you will now have many women after you, please choose wisely as you need to be with someone as great as you are. Take care and I wish you all the best in the future!! I also love to travel so maybe we'll see you in Thailand sometime!!??

PLEASE MAKE AMES THE NEXT BATCHELOR. INCREDIBLE TV.

Amazing guy. He has the look of a Kennedy. Very distiguised. I am in hopes this supposed relationship that he is in with Jackie Gordon ceases and he ends up on The Bachelor. I want to see some more of his charisma. He deserves someone that will put him on a pedistal as he does her.

Bi people. He is Bi! Don't immediately make the jump to gay. There IS a spectrum!

I think Ames, so sooo sweet. He always has a smile on his face. I hope I can find someone as positive as him!
