Chris Soules' small-town farmer life has changed drastically since starring on The Bachelor, so does that mean what he's looking for in a woman has also changed?

"My life has definitely changed as a result of being on The Bachelor. The potential going for a guy who lived in a town with 450 people to now a guy that was dating on television, it's changed. Obviously people actually know who I am and it's not quite as secluded."
Soules also starred on Dancing with the Stars and Worst Cooks in America following his stint on the ABC reality dating series. He admitted that because of his experiences on television, "more doors have opened up" and so he naturally has higher expectations for a girlfriend or future wife.
"My standards have probably changed a bit," Soules said with a laugh. "I mean, the 30 women I dated on the show were some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life."
Soules' heart is definitely open and ready to meet that special person, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll have an easy time finding "the one."
"I still live in Iowa and I still live in the middle of nowhere," Soules explained. "So, when I meet women that I think are amazing, the challenge still exists of, 'How do you date them? How do you make it happen when I'm a busy, busy individual?'"
Soules does the best he can to juggle his farming/business responsibilities back in Arlington, Iowa with his newfound fame.
"Farming is every day for me. I have a great team at home. I've got some really good partners and employees. My Dad's back there making things happen, and I'm on the phone with those guys making sure things are going [well] when I'm not there... But I'll be back to work [soon]," Soules told Reality TV World.
"We just finished up with planting about two weeks ago, so things slowed down a bit, so now it's an opportunity for me to focus on doing a little bit of other stuff. But it's always busy, you know? It's a business and it's a situation where there's always something going on... it's always on my mind."
Soules reiterated how his priorities right now are "farming and dating opportunities that are in the real world."
"Dating in real life right now is my priority along with everything else," Soules said. "There's things happening but nothing serious, just like conversations and stuff. I'm working on that part of my life and being patient... When I meet her I'll know... There's a ton of great girls in this world."
