[i will have to totally agree with you. i am not married but am old enough to be his oldest sister. the way he looks at life could be totally different from the way most of this fans look at it. i think allison and him are cute together and make a great couple and more power to them. i wish them well.
thread=1141006438 post=1142047389]As someone who has been happily married for nearly 19 years, my interest in Apolo is not "romantic" but one of respect and admiration (and perhaps even a tad bit motherly, though I am not quite old enough to be his mother). So perhaps I have a little different take on this than others, but I honestly believe that if Apolo is happy with Allison that is what counts. He is smart enough and secure enough that he would not be with someone he does not think is right for him. We don't "own" Apolo, even if we are his fans. Who he chooses to date is his business and not ours. I say this with great respect for those who disagree and don't like the fact that he is with Allison. Like I said earlier, different opinions are what make life interesting (imagine how boring life would be if we all thought alike) I am just expressing my opinion on this.[/quote]

I agree with Rosie that it's his business on who he's dating. As fans, we should appreciate all his accomplishments and the inspiration that he has given to many people! But that's just how i see it!!

Babydoll, I agree, Apolo may look at life totally different than his fans. I think it is great that Apolo has a lot of "older" fans. I am wondering if I am the oldest member of this forum? (I am 39) I agree, Kylie, as fans we should appreciate his accomplishments and inspiration. I love the fact that he is humble and shows such good sportsmanship, even though he is incredible in his sport, he is not cocky. Jay, I found your honesty (jealous, though happy for him) very refreshing. As I said in my last post, I have no "romantic" interest in him, but I can see how some of you younger girls would and I can understand why there might be a bit of jealous feelings, even if you are happy for him.

Of course i'm really jealous. And of course if my dream came true he would be going out with me, but i love Apolo and i want him to be the happiest guy in the world so if Allison is what he wants then i respect that cuz i want him to be happy. He deserves it!! even though i'm not happy about it.

I agree with Rose. I think as fans we should support him and not bring down his girlfriend. We can always dream that he would date us, but we all know that its a very, very low possibility. If he's happy, shouldn't we be happy?

OK, THis is not Apolo related, but Allison is in the running for a spot in "The Apprentice" with 12 other athletes and does anyone know if she got picked?? during the olympics people could go to NBC and vote. i just want to know what happened.

Kim, I was wondering that, too...if Allison was chosen I mean. If anyone knows, could you please let us know?
Babydoll, I agree, age doesn't really matter. I just wondered out of curiosity. I think it is great that Apolo has fans of all ages.

i think apolo is a good person for people of all ages to respect and admire because he is very gracious and thankful for everything that has happened to him and he (im guessing i wouldnt really know for sure) has such a great personality and good morals that are worth admiring. also, he totally gives his all in everything that he does and its just so admirable. as for the whole thing with allison baver, i mean, honestly, i dont think she's the prettiest person in the world, but if apolo is happy, shouldn't you all be happy for him? i mean, yeah, looks aren't everything in a relationship so it doesnt matter if like...she's pretty or not. hah. but yeah. if he's happy and has a strong, good relationship, dont hate on it because youre jealous. you should support his choices, not bring it down. sorry if it sounds mean and all...i dont like...mean to be mean...haha

aww... i think they look cute together. i know it sounds cliche, but as long as they are happy.... i know allison isnt the most prettiest girl that he could be with, but it just shows that he's not going out there and finding the flashiest girl and having one night stands or weekend flings. Apparently, they've been going out for 2+ years! and she's smart (working on MBA) and a pretty hard-core skater... so kudos to them! altho i'm super jealous, it also makes me happy to know that apolo's using his fame to get some random girl and is able to settle with someone that he cares about and has common interst in it just makes me like him more... are there any more nice guys out there?!?! *side note: in cosomo, didnt he say something about liking business women with power or something like that .... wouldnt that vaguely imply allison, who's working on her masters in business............. ::theories theories::

How does Apolo having a relationship with an average featured woman label him as shallow?
Now, if Apolo dumped Allison and started to date say, Sasha Cohen or Michelle Kwan, who are extremely beautiful and successful in their sport, that would make him shallow.
