Ames

Age: 31

Occupation: Portfolio Manager

Hometown: New York, NY

What is your most embarrassing moment? I had a teacher walk in on me while I was hooking up in boarding school.

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you bring and why? Paper + pen to design tools/plan. A Tolstoy novel because they take forever to understand.

Do you consider yourself athletic? Yes. I work out with a trainer 6 times every week.

What do you wish we had asked you? I love to wear a tuxedo. I can tie a bowtie perfectly while blindfolded.

Tattoo Count: 0

I wish there were more men like Ames, no wonder he left Bachelor Pad so early... he is just not like anyone else out there. I would love to see Ames as a next Bachelor, but realistically - ABC would have an enormous task to find 25 women who might be his potential match... but if he does become a next Bachelor - I would watch every episode. This guy is unbelievable! He should become a role model for men.

Ahhhh! I'm torn. I really want to marry Ames myself, BUT I think I want to watch him on TV even more (since option #1 probably isn't so realistic). Ames would change the perception of not just the show, but perhaps even ABC. Talk about changing the typical stereotype of what makes the bachelor a real man: integrity, intelligence, chivalry, and dedication. Ames is amazing. I hope he's next.... :)

Totally agree with everyone about Ames. So Ames is the next Bachelor? Yes, I want to see him finding true love if he is not with Jackie anymore.

Ames was definitely the BEST thing about this season. I hate to hurt any plans with Jackie, BUT America wants you, AMES as the next bachelor! Ames would be such a pleasure to watch...style, class and grace. How many times have those words been used to describe the bachelor? Intelligence, honesty and integrity, too. How about wit, charm and spontaneity. What about dignity, compassion and a vocabulary. How about correct grammar being used. Not that correct grammar is the most important thing but wouldn't it be a pleasant surprise? I guess I could go on and on...AMES for bachelor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ames you need a woman that's much more intellectual and a hopeless romantic like yourself. You deserved much more than you received on that show. Ashley didn't know how to appreciate what she had.

Ames should DEFINITELY be the next Bachelor. It will be a nice change to have someone take a different approach to the show. He is definitely not a typical bachelor choice.. all the more reason he should be the next Bachelor!!

Ames is a doll! I heard he is going on the bachelor pad? He is giving humanity too much credit, those people are going to drive him crazy! The people on that show are such trash! It will be interesting to see if they understand his jokes!

Ames is a sweetheart. He has such a huge heart and it really shows. He always has such nice things to say and I can tell that it comes from the bottom of his heart. Just watching him on tv makes my heart absolutely melt! He is so romantic! That elevator kiss--WOWYY!! Who ever you end up marrying is a really lucky girl! We love you Ames!

I never comment on these blogs but I fell in love with Ames. He should be the next bachelor. I never liked Ashley in the first place so he is lucky that she did not pick him but he needs to find love. Please have him be the bachelor but screen the women well. Find some intelligent women with some standards and morals and find Ames love!!! He deserves it. He is so interesting! Remember what he said about finding romance in our everyday lives! I would take him in a heartbeat!!!! Ames you are loved by your fans!!!

Ames is one of those hidden jewels! If this show wants to stay true to helping people find love and have the amazing love story...you need to have Ames as the next Bachelor. How awesome would it be to help Ames find love? He really is the total package...intelligence, looks, morals and more! This is what people watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette for...the real life love story!

I thought Ames was the best choice for Ashley since he first came onto the show. Apparently, she is not able to make good choices when it comes to a man who is good for her!!!! (ie: Bentley--seriously he was shady from the beginning!). I think Ames will find a match for him in time because he appears to be an incredibly great guy!

I think this is the most boring bachelorette... I cannot stand Ashley from the Brad show and I was surprised that she was picked to be the bachelorette this time.

Well said every one. Ashley is probably smart otherwise she did not study to become a dentist. But sorry to say, is not the smart individual when it comes to man (my opinion). Did she knew that Bently stated, he signed up for the Bachelorette because he thought the Bachelorette was Emily; also said, Ashley is not attractive, especially w/o make up. I cannot understand why she fall in love w/ him after two shows and emotionally attached. Bently's ex even warned her. Now she get rid AMES and to my opinion he is the most descent man compare to those 3. Ames, consider it as a blessing that she let you go...I agree to all the comments the previous commentator wrote. You are the BEST!!!

I think Ames is a wonderful person. So sorry he got hurt but I don't think Ashley was right for him. If Ames is the next Bachelor ( I hope he is), I think they will have to search a lot harder for some really interesting, intelligent, and beautiful women for the show. I wonder if ABC could do it. To Ames, don't give up someone will come your way that will be your perfect match. Have faith and be true to yourself.

I am a lesbian -- and I fell in LOVE with Ames. He is intelligent, warm, witty and is the ONLY bachelor in all the seasons so far to have a SOUL. He is also dreamy to look at. Ames, it was good that Ashley sent you home. You are too much man for her!

The Bachelorette has been my guilty TV pleasure this summer. I even sucked my boyfriend in to watching it with me. My boyfriend and I were both rooting for Ames (Team Ames!), and my boyfriend is so bothered that he was kicked off this week that he is protesting watching the rest of the shows. (That's pretty hilarious to me in and of itself - thank you ABC.) I typically don't comment on websites; however, Ames compelled me to note that he is possibly the most interesting, unique individual with the most depth that I have seen on the Bachelor/Bachelorette all these years. Script writers couldn't have written a more perfect scene than when he and Ashley sat under the tree during his hometown date. You know which scene I'm talking about - making romance out of the ordinary! The Bachelor would be crazy not to have him as the next Bachelor if he would accept. I think the only challenge would be to find the 20+ women who would be a good fit for him.

I've heard that people who are book smart like Ame's is, usually aren't very street smart. That being said, I'm glad he wasn't given a rose. He is way too good for Ashley. He is way too classy and such a sweet guy to be put in a position to have to vie for a woman's affection. (The boxing episode....are you kidding me? She should have stopped shooting the show and went to the hospital with him.) I just loved him since the first episode, probably because I have a six year old grandson who reminds me so much of him, especially that dimpled chin, and because of that I feel protective of him and hated to see him get hurt. And I was floored to see that his family is from Chadds Ford so he's actually a neighbor. (And no.... he's not the father of my grandchild. I've only lived here for three years. LOL!!!)

Ames is obviously from an elite class -- he smells of pedigree -- but yet I can't understand why he would want to expose himself to such a low brow TV show. Ashley is clearly smart and attractive, but she is common and not of the same level as Ames. For the same reason, I think that there must be something off-kilter with him to chose to go on the show. Did you see his environment? Pedigree!!

Ames should be selected as the next bachelor; as he is the truest gentlemen ever, and perhaps that's why he's perceived differently. It's hard for people to accept the fact that he truly is a great, wonderful man because there's so few of them around! Best of luck to you Ames... you truly deserve to be the next bachelor! I just hope you're selected because it'll be a great show to watch (even if you're doing the Bachelor Pad, I still think you should be highly selected for the next bachelor!)

The thing that I find the most intriguing about Ames is his smile. He smiles no matter how much sadness he feels. I relate to that because I do the same thing. Sometimes in life things don't turn out the way you might have hoped them to and they break your heart. What are you supposed to do with the broken pieces? There's nothing that you can do but pick up what you have left and believe that there is something better in store for you. That's just the way it is. Best of luck to you Ames:) Maybe Ashley wasn't right for you but you deserve a lady who can see how strong you really are:)

Ames, you are such a quality man. I was so disappointed and heart broken to see you go home (delighted that you are still available...yes). How could someone not see the beautiful, amazing, intelligent, unique and exquisite man that you are? I gave up believing that men like you existed...and then you appeared on this show that I happen to watch for mindless fun....and suddenly I was intrigued. The short clips of you were always so profound and insightful. Your wisdom far exceeds your years. Your outlook on life is refreshing...and you are so easy on the eyes. I could look at you and fall in love every day. If I even remotely had a chance, you would be my ordinary extraordinaire. We would figure out Tolstoy and write our own novel...even more complex and beautiful. I am so glad you did not end up with a woman who would fall for a guy like Bentley. You deserve so much more. Someday, Ames, you will meet your match and you will never have to smile when you are hurting. You're such a catch!!! ABC do not make him your next bachelor...the only women you find are hungry for TV time, caddy and a bunch of cry babies.

Everyone on here is saying Ames should be the next Bachelor! They're saying it on Hulu.com too! America wants Ames! There hasn't been another guy like him on this show! Ashley talked about Bentley not giving HER closure but she didn't give AMES closure either! He doesn't know why he didn't get a rose! She sends him away with a hand shake? Umm okayy...

Our family LOVES Ames. It was sad to see him go - he handled himself really well!! It's obvious Ashley isn't the best decision maker in the world - but also if the spark isn't there it isn't there. Ames would make the perfect choice for the next BACHELOR. Hope ABC is paying attention.

Ames...I will take you :) I think that every thing that you said on your hometown date was perfect. I think Ashley is silly letting you go. I can see it in your eyes just how much you have to offer. I hope that someday there is a girl out there that is lucky enough to be your best friend for life!

Ames is an incredible person - He can do SO much better than Miss I-Love-His-Hair-and-His-Style... Ames is a total gem!! Please don't ever be a Bachelor on this show, it would be murder for your soul Ames... You can do better than becoming entertainment fodder for the masses, stay you in everything you do! We love you Ames!!!!

Seriously, I love Ames. He is the greatest guy, and from watching the show he instantly became one of my all time favorites. I hope he gets casts for the bachelor..if there was a way for me to make it to San Diego on Friday for the casting i would just for Ames. I only hope one day i meet a guy with the qualities he has and that smile.

Ames is AWESOME! It is a blessing Ashley did not pick Ames, because his true love is out there somewhere and he deserves to be the main man. Ames is not an afterthought, he is a leading man!!! ABC you need to pick the man that has stolen America's heart. Ames if you are reading this, please stay exactly the way you are. You are a catch!!! You are charming, intelligent, and mind blowing. You are going to make a fantastic father and husband someday. Good luck to you!!!
