'The Bachelorette’: Clare keeps saying she’s 39, fans want her to stop contributing to women’s ‘shelf lives’

So far on Season 16 of 'The Bachelorette', Clare Crawley has been introduced to all of her potential suitors. The former 'The Bachelor' star is more than ecstatic to find her future partner on ABC's love-based reality show after one too many failed attempts at finding true love. 

For the unversed, 'The Bachelorette' made history by having Clare, 39, as the oldest bachelorette yet. The show had to go through a whole new casting process to pick bachelors who would suit her age the best. Even though this was made clear since the inception of the show, Clare for some reason wouldn't stop emphasizing her age. 

While she spoke about having lived a single life for too long, before meeting her suitors, she continued to throw her age at them during their first interaction too. Furthermore, when the host Chris Harrison asked her what she's expecting from Season 16 of 'The Bachelorette', Clare says she's thrilled to meet her future husband on the show, once again stating her age as the reason. 

Clare's declaration of her age one too many times has left the viewers wondering if she's on the reality show to find genuine love or just a partner to keep her company only because she's aging. Meanwhile, some of them are just not happy about the fact that Clare is contributing to women's "shelf lives," by noting that age is catching up with her, more than once. 

A significant number of viewers took to Twitter to slam Clare for the same, with some noting that her age is all she's has spoken about since the time the latest season began. One tweeted, "We get it Clare you’re 39. Stop contributing to the narrative that women have shelf lives. #TheBachelorette" another joked, "Take a shot every time someone mentions that Clare's 39 #TheBachelorette"One wrote, "Clare is giving me major Jessica from Love Is Blind vibes. We get it, you’re 39. #TheBachelorette". Another tweeted, "DRINKING GAME: take a shot every time they reference Clare being 39 and you will be in the hospital by 10pm EST. #TheBachelorette."
