Jerry Ferris appears Saturday at the Calgary Woman’s Show at the Round-Up Centre
Bachelor party in Calgary

Jerry Ferris is always polite to fans of The Bachelorette. But, make no mistake, if you insult his ex-girlfriend Jen Schefft, you won’t score any points with the Californian cutie.
JERRY FERRIS
“The thing that makes me most uncomfortable is the Jen-bashing. If women think I’m going to go along with that, they are wrong. I don’t have anything bad to say about her,” says Ferris, who will be appearing at the Calgary Woman’s Show this weekend.
Since being rejected by Schefft on the Feb. 28 live finale of The Bachelorette, Ferris has heard his share of opinions. Most people, he says, wanted the “fairy-tale ending” and blame Jen for destroying that.
“I was hoping there was something there that we could build on, but to hold on to those feelings for months and months without seeing each other is difficult,” says the 29-year-old art gallery director from L.A.
“By the time we did see each other again, the fairy-dust had settled and we realized we were better off as friends. It’s still a happy ending — it’s the most appropriate ending for us.”
In the two months since the couple’s very public break-up, Ferris has not spoken to Schefft or dated anyone seriously.
The problem, he says, is women now know too much about him (including the fact his mother is deaf) and that sometimes freaks him out.
“They know what I do and what I’m like and some of them already know sign-language — I feel like I’m playing catch-up all night.”
On the brighter side of the post-reality-TV-life fence, Ferris says he’s using his 15 minutes of fame to raise awareness and money for deaf children.
He has also met countless interesting people who have opened their lives to him.
“I have one seven-year-old kid I’ve become pen pals with. She’s learning sign language — she’s just really sweet.”
Overwhelmed by mail and phone calls at work, Ferris has decided to launch an interactive website (fansofjerry.com), which will be up within the next two weeks.
“I have been receiving so many wonderful letters, I wanted a place where I can thank them and chat with people,” he says.
“It will be a place where I can talk about the charity events I am involved in, what’s going on in my life and what’s happening on the current Bachelor.”
So, what advice does Ferris have for the girls (including Alberta’s Kim Choma) vying for The Bachelor Charlie O’Connell’s heart?
“Stay in the moment,” he says. “Be honest with your feelings and really try to get to know that other person despite all the chaos.”
Good advice coming from someone who has been there, done that and would even think about doing it all over again.
“I haven’t been asked (to be The Bachelor), but it is something I would think about. As for right now, I am just enjoying my life … I’ve been painting a lot … and really enjoying the opportunities given to me because of the show.”
Ferris appears Saturday at the Calgary Woman’s Show at the Round-Up Centre in Stampede Park at 2 p.m.

so she can have him for keepers! 
, but I'm more into feelings than the looks anyhow....
I grew up oral so thought oral sex means reading or talking about sex. Somehow in a convo with a friend, I brought it up and he laughed so hard and corrected my naive thinking. 
But, rumors were saying she was dating her own boss.
