The show might have been filmed when they were those ages

It’s kind of stupid because the fact that they’re aging it down made it more unrealistic. These people that are in their mid 20s shouldn’t be talking about marriage lmao sorry

It's interesting that they lied or misrepresented the ages of two contestants who left the show really early on. 

Either they didn't pay attention (since, again, they weren't on the show very long) or they aged Lauren and Alexis down because they didn't want the audience to think that, "ok, only women in their late 20s and 30s are *actually* ready for marriage, the rest of these kids don't know what they want because they're too young, so I don't believe in this show or its process." 1/2

This is so weird to me, because there are people in their 30's on the show! And making something 26 and not 30 isn't a huge difference...Really confusing.

...or it could have been a mistake??? It said that Lauren was 26 on the show when she is actually 30.  Alexis was listed as 25 when she is actually 27. But why though? Is Netflix telling us that it's ok for a man to be in his 30s but not a woman? Like what?!?! Some one make it make sense.

Netflix lied about Lauren and Alexis's age.
