According to ABC, Guy is "a total catch" who does "NOT fit the 'grumpy old man' stereotype" men his age typically get slapped with.

When Guay introduced himself to Joan on Night 1 of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan immediately told the bachelor, "You are very handsome."

Joan seemed taken with Guy's bright smile, and she loved the smell of his cologne, which he had asked her to remember him by.

Joan proceeded to have fun with Guy on group dates, but they have yet to enjoy a one-on-one date this season.

While Joan is getting to know men on a deeper level, Guy has been acting as a good friend to most of the guys in the house. But will he be able to exit the friend zone with Joan?
