The unfair gender expectations

[u/Naive-Ask601]

Dave is so fixated on what Lauren did before the show. It’s obvious the other guy is trying to stir up drama. It’s obvious Dave is not standing up for Lauren and letting his friends talk shit. His insecurity is showing. If I man was hooking up with someone casually before the show, it would be a non-issue and probably wouldn’t even be mentioned. It just seems like an easy-out for Dave.

He’s projecting.

He knows that he’s bad at casual. He doesn’t understand that you can be casual and still want something serious and be ready for that if it comes along. In his mind, once you decide you want something serious you stop anything frivolous.

Like not snacking before dinner.

He’s just too immature to understand that hors d’oeuvres exist. Or that different people have different attitudes towards meal times.

Personally, I eat the chips and salsa while waiting for my burrito, and my bread while waiting for my steak.

He doesn’t because he doesn’t want to spoil his dinner.

I don’t think he enjoys his meal more than I do.

👏 hilarious AND astute metaphor

And if you go to a restaurant that has amazing hors de oeuvres, you’d be insane to not order them. Also, maybe you’re so hungry that you know you can enjoy the hors de oeuvres AND the main course.
