Chris Berendse

Why is he weird? Share some stories..
I don’t know how to explain it. He’s just a bit odd. Weird mannerisms. Quite weird to talk to. I don’t mean it in a negative way. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being weird and he’s always been nice. He’s just not the kind of person that I would expect to be the main role on Prince Charming
 
Same. But looks wise I suppose it’s nice a very average looking lad is the main person and not some gorgeous stunning thing as usual.

Yeah I agree I suppose. I once had a fake profile using his photo on Grindr message me when I was on holiday. I knew I recognised him from somewhere but actually thought I could have known him. So he's good for catfishing lol.
 
He seems nice and quite put together. Let’s wait for the show to air before judging lol

Let's not judge someone based on a heavily editted television show in which someone is presented as the object of desire...

let's judge someone based on personal experience... in which case... nope.

The portion of the Dutch gay scene he is part of is a bit toxic: you have a bunch of "picture perfect" guys running around on instagram pretending to live a perfect life. There's a whole bunch of "look at me, I'm so tolerant, open-minded, inclusive and inspirational"-posts, but in reality they're mostly obsessed with being seen with the right kind of friends and dating the right kind of people.

It's not that they're not nice, it's just that if you don't meet a certain standard they won't acknowledge you're there.

perfectly said! Dutch culture has changed to be one of wanting to be famous and be seen. You have to have the perfect physique (toned, well trimmed, good jawline) for them to acknowledge your existence. Chatted with Chris a few times, nice guy but seems to me that to him status and they way his partner looks is important. I was shocked to see that so many guys of color as candidates on the show, since all of my colored friends who tried chatting with him got ignored on grindr. But yeah, he’s a nice guy and very active (running). He’s probs going to choose Casper anyways.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the candidates. I don’t think Chris would have given most of them 5 seconds of his time before the show. Now he’s going to pretend to be super into diversity and interested in all of them for the sake of looking good on the show. It’s all so fake. Everyone is in it to increase their own exposure

This 100% haha
 
I’ve followed him on Instagram for a while now and thought it was interesting when a gay he posted in a lot of stories with suddenly disappeared a while back. This was back before he was officially out and proud I feel like, because it seems only recently he’s been pretty vocal about him being gay. There was longtime speculation on my part as a social media follower of his. I could have missed posts or mentions, but it seemed to have been hush hush without confirmation until this year.

No I think he’s always been open. But this year he’s pushing it really hard to promote himself for the TV show
