Last night it became clear that the boys of The Bachelorette are divided not just by age, but by who is or isn't making out with Emily Maynard. "Too perfect" single dad Doug, 33, and foot-in-his-mouth Ryan (who last night called Emily a "trophy wife"), 31, both bonded over their "mature" decision to not kiss Emily. But this high-horse strategy could backfire, since Emily wasn't too happy with Ryan for judging her for making out with Arie at last week's rose ceremony. She pointed out, rightly so, that there is a double standard, and if this was The Bachelor, no one would bat an eye at her making out with whoever she wants. In the pro-kiss camp are Sean, 28, and Arie, 30, who both take every opportunity they can to lock lips with the hot single mom. And it seems to be paying off — Emily has reservations about Doug and Ryan, but she's really into Sean and Arie.
There's one other front-runner fella who hasn't kissed Emily yet, and that's skateboarding entrepreneur Jef, 27. But Jef isn't abstaining on principle. As we see in this deleted scene, poor Jef chides himself for not making a move because he "wussed out." Hey Jef with one "f," we don't blame you for being intimidated by Emily, but she was clearly giving off the "kiss me" vibe. This is a sweet scene, though, and even with his poufy hair and tube socks, we think he could be a good match for Emily. What do you think about the bachelors' decisions to kiss vs. not kiss Emily? Is it better to get physical right away or wait till they know her better?
