Does Matt James’ ‘fat beard’ imply he’s single? ‘The Bachelor’ fans call it a 'big fur hat pasted on his face'

One tweeted, 'Matt with a beard looks like the Wolly Willie magnet game. #TheBachelor Please shave'

The 'Women Tell All' in 'The Bachelor' definitely wasn't as dramatic as the season itself, but it did offer a lot of topics to talk about. Matt James' fat beard was one of the highlights of the March 1 episode, which saw him sport a full-grown facial in the latter half of the segment. While it got a thumbs up from the suitresses who couldn't take their eyes off of him, social media users have dissed Matt's look, with some claiming he's single, hence the beard. 

When the host Chris Harrison asks Matt what's with his new look, as opposed to the clean-shaved look on the show, Matt explains that he emerged far more "wiser" through his journey on 'The Bachelor', which according to him reflected in his beard.
