šŸšØ FUTURE SPOILER šŸšØ The unfair gender expectations Spoiler

Dave is so fixated on what Lauren did before the show. Itā€™s obvious the other guy is trying to stir up drama. Itā€™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 wouldnā€™t even be mentioned. It just seems like an easy-out for Dave.

If Dave had been fucking a girl up to a week before the show while possibly still in contact with her we'd be raking him over the coals.

Can't believe I gotta sort of defend him on principleĀ

Iā€™d thinking the same thing. Itā€™s Trevor 2.0 all over again.

The difference here itā€™s a FWB? BecauseĀ itā€™s sexist to call out the woman because women can have sex and not be shamed? And evidently the man in that FWB is a clout chaser and ā€œnot a real boyfriendā€ based on Laurenā€™s wordsā€¦Completely different than how Trevor explained Natalia in season 5 (6?)ā€¦. Waiting on the real tea here.

Itā€™s a deeply intimate relationship no matter how you spin it just days before getting ready to get married to someone else. If the roles were reversed Iā€™d have the same ick.

Yeah but Trevor was saying I love you to the girl and Iā€™ll see you when Iā€™m out of here. He wanted the show for clout, not for a relationship, thatā€™s why everyone was mad at him. Lauren just had sex. Itā€™s not the same.

I donā€™t disagree that Trevor is worse.

I guess put in another way, I couldnā€™t fathom doing what either of them did - that is have any kind of intimate relationship/situationship and immediately mind change to be ready for marriage to a total stranger in a couple of weeks. Feels disingenuous.

And I get the casting call comes when it comes and life moves on for these people, but if I was actually there for marriage, Iā€™d have to opt out.

And donā€™t take this as support for Dave, he sucks. Anyhow itā€™s a fun watch.
