It’s true that Sam Frost has, in many ways, been defined by her love-life. After all, if it weren’t for her unlucky stint on The Bachelor, we probably wouldn’t know her name.
Frost was engaged to Blake Garvey but then dumped in favour of another contestant, Louise Pillidge.
Australia rallied around sweet Sam, and she was the perfect choice to be our very first leading lady on The Bachelorette.
So yes, you could say that Sam Frost’s relationship status is one of the most noticeable things about her. Very little is said about her career, or really any other aspect of her life.
But that’s because she’s on this show, right? There’s more to her than wanting a boyfriend. Right?
Well, we’re not sure. Frost has indicated that she believes that to be happy, she needs to find the right man.
“After everything that happened, I never really believed that I could be truly happy again,” she said on The Bachelorette.
“But now, I’ve realised that if I choose the right guy, happiness is just around the corner, and I could have the most amazing life and the most beautiful love story and that’s just such an amazing feeling.”
Oh, Sam.
This woman is only 26 years old. Aren’t there so many, many things in life that can make her happy that have nothing to do with a “beautiful love story”? Try yoga, chocolate brownies, the Orgasmatron. Get a dog! Go to Argentina! Learn a new skill!
It seems like a woefully outdated notion — for anyone, male or female — to think that happiness lies in someone else.
What if this new relationship doesn’t work out for Sam? Will she be condemned to misery for the rest of her life? Will she embark on another desperate televised search for “the one”?
What if… what if “the one” doesn’t actually exist?
What about the orgasmatron?
Just sayin’.

"there so many, many things in life that can make her happy"
I'm not sure I understand your logic. You seem to be saying that all the things she does in her life that make her happy are a worthy substitute to being loved by a man. She desperately wants to love a man. Enjoy all it brings. (until she gets bored and divorces him). Clearly, she does not have this in her life AS WELL AS the things she already does. So why would you attempt to demean something she obviously holds sacred? What is your motivation to keep men and females apart? Why wouldn't you encourage her? She wants to strive for a higher level of happiness than she has ever experienced before. The ONLY way she can do that is with a man.
I am wondering if you could write a story on that. Why you feel the way you do. What thoughts have driven you to this point. Why would you encourage other females to view the love of a man as nothing? Don't you think readers other than me would want to read that epiphany?
6 of my girlfriends including myself are single. We are all in our mis 30's. We catch up for brunch every second Sunday. What do we anyways go back to in conversation? Men .. Where are they, where do we find one . Our married friends seem complete , happy with their families and their husbands. So yes I think fulfilment in life meaning having a partner who loves you as much as you love them. Single life in your 30's sux
