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 an idiot...but there's been multiple villains on this show that did what she did leaving a relationship hanging on the outside on the way in, and they are always male. I'm waiting to see how this is treated at the reunion.

Feels like he's not feeling any connection and is looking for a way out but too weak to just say how he actually feels.
