Big Ed Brown may believe that beggars can be choosers, but 90 Day Fiancé fans are inclined to disagree. The reality star has proudly stated that he only wants to date young party girls, despite his age, and fans are grossed out. They think he’s chasing a fantasy and will never be happy until he adjusts his standards to something more reasonable. After seeing more of Big Ed’s “romance” journey on The Single Life, fans have taken a stand against his outlandish expectations.
His relationship with Rose Vega fizzled out on Before the 90 Days, but Big Ed is back on the prowl on another franchise spin-off. He’s ready to date again and is looking for a very specific type of woman. Big Ed constantly talks about how he’s looking for a young, hot girlfriend, and on The Single Life, he’s set his sights on his “friend” Liz. However, Liz isn’t interested in anything other than friendship, and after a disastrous attempted kiss, Big Ed felt rejected and despondent. But fans weren’t buying his woe-is-me act.
Fans were quick to point out that Ed is setting his expectations too high, and is delusional about the type of woman he thinks he deserves. “He doesn't want love,” one fan commented. “He wants a fantasy woman and he'll settle for no less.” On the show, viewers didn't care for the way he felt he was entitled to beautiful young women and the way he went on “rambling about the friend zone.” Though the show builds him up to be a sympathetic figure, fans feel differently.
Big Ed often likes to point to his weight or birth defect as reasons why he gets rejected by women, but fans pointed out that there’s much more to it than that. They think Ed sets himself up for failure by thinking he deserves more from a relationship than he contributes. Many think he wants a hot, young girlfriend to use as an accessory, and that he doesn’t respect the women he dates. Fans think Ed uses his appearance as a smokescreen, when really, women don’t want to date him because of his personality.
It’s one thing to have a type, but Big Ed’s idea of the perfect woman is extremely specific and exclusionary. He seems to only be interested in women young enough to be his daughter, and even worse, he thinks he deserves one. Nobody is “owed” anything when it comes to dating, and there’s nothing that makes Ed entitled to landing a gorgeous woman half his age. Big Ed mopes around because he can’t get a hot girlfriend, but if he was open to dating a woman his own age, he would likely have much more luck.
Fans of 90 Day Fiancé are hard on Big Ed, and he continues to do and say things that back up their point of view. The reality star has severely limited his dating pool by only looking for young women, so he has no one to blame but himself for his failure to find love. The show’s viewers are sick of watching Big Ed’s cringeworthy behavior, and think he won’t find a successful relationship until he adjusts his standards in women. But the reality star is unlikely to give up the search for his fantasy girl, so fans better get ready for more Big Ed pity parties.
