“Big Ed” Brown is looking for love on the new Discovery+ show 90 Day: The Single Life. While the 55-year-old has employed a dating coach to help him find the one, the reality star has so far been unlucky in his pursuit of a younger life partner. The latest episode of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise show saw Big Ed’s attempt for a kiss being swiftly rebuffed. While the rejection brought Big Ed to tears, fans were infuriated and frustrated by the entitlement in his response.

Big Ed became an overnight reality star after he appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days alongside Rosemarie Vega. The older American was widely criticized for the rude way he treated the young Filipina single mother. Big Ed has since admitted that Rose was too young for him. However, he stated that he is looking for a woman aged 28-34 because that is the age range that he best relates to. While critics have called Big Ed out for refusing to find a partner closer to his age, he stated that women his age have nothing in common with him and his lifestyle.

The past week's episode of 90 Day: The Single Life saw Big Ed having a get-together with Liz, a potential romantic partner. While Liz came over for dinner as a friend, Big Ed went in for a kiss on the mouth as she was leaving. She quickly pulled back and denied the advance, with both parties agreeing Big Ed's move had been weird. He then tried to play off his lack of consent as "spontaneous." Big Ed sat down with a drink after the failed move and tearfully opened up to the cameras. "I moved too fast she doesn’t want a romantic relationship I think she sees me as a friend," he said. "I just want to be myself. I just want to be me. I want people to like me for who I am. I just want it to be easy." The self-pitying reaction did not sit well with commenters who watched the clip from the show on the @90dayfiance Instagram.

"He wants it to be 'easy' for him, but at the expense of women feeling uncomfortable?" one comment with over 1,000 likes reads. Many viewers were angry and frustrated by Big Ed's failure to consider Liz's feelings. When she denied his kiss and told him "you can't do that," his response was "why not?" Viewers were stunned by Big Ed's lack of consent or boundaries, as well as his failure to recognize the inappropriateness of his actions. "Ed needs to learn boundaries," another top comment on the video reads. "HI ED, CONSENT IS A THING," another commenter wrote.

While Big Ed's invasion of personal space and lack of consent upset many fans, he was also called out for his low emotional intelligence. "That man literally thinks his feelings are the only ones that count," an exasperated commenter wrote. Many viewers also refuse to accept his stance on dating younger women. "I think it's weird he wants to date someone younger than his daughter. Red flag," someone else commented. "He needs a woman his own age! My teeth hurt from cringing watching this trainwreck!" another commenter chimed in.

Big Ed remains one of the most polarizing faces in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Despite his frequent criticism, he has found success within TLC and other online platforms such as Cameo. However, many viewers are unhappy with the way he treats women. The 55-year-old recently ranked number one in a fan poll as to who should be removed from the franchise. Clocking in as second was Colt Johnson, who is another 90 Day: The Single Life male who is criticized for the way he treats women. Overall, viewers appear fed up with watching skeevy men try to justify their bad behavior.
