Now, in Season 2, Episode 2 of Southern Hospitality, Joe's love life is back under the microscope as he reflects on the troubles he faces while trying to connect with girls. Read on for details.

Joe Bradley reflects on his dating life  

While hanging out in his apartment with Bradley Carter and TJ Dinch (clip above), Joe disclosed to his friends that he’s been experiencing a lack of intimacy. Immediately, Bradley responded to Joe by asking, “Where is your head at; are you trying to be single?”

“I don’t know, man. I feel like maybe I need a girlfriend,” Joe replied. He continued to tell his friends that whenever he catches feelings for a particular girl, he ends up “single.”

During his confessional interview, Joe opened up a bit more about his issues finding love. "Charleston on paper should be the easiest town for me to find a girlfriend… but a lot of girls don’t see me as boyfriend material as much as they see me as a f-ckboy,” he admitted.  

Joe concluded his observation on his dating life troubles by taking accountability, saying, “Maybe it’s a me problem.”

While in the clubhouse, Joe also cheekily gave his take on his and Danielle’s time in Las Vegas. "Best weekend of my life, Andy," Joe admitted. "I can't even begin to explain."
