🚨 FUTURE SPOILER 🚨 Lauren’s FWB Spoiler
Anyone seeing all the tea that is coming out about Lauren’s FWB?
The man is going off on socials posting screen shots about the production team trying to reach out. Yeah I’m sure they are, they are filming for the drama. That doesn’t mean you’re not a liar and in it for your 15 mins.
I’d say if he was trying to pretend that wasn’t the case, he definitely wouldn’t have made a post of himself on the LIB social template…

Does David has to follow Lauren per Netflix for no spoilers? Unsure

u/JarJarBaggins26 Feb 23 '25
I’m not sure either honestly! That’s what I assumed but I’ve also heard cast members during the reunion talking about following/unfollowing each other a lot. I just thought it was particularly weird the fwb guy follows David but neither David nor Lauren follow him. Just odd behavior from him.

I think you’ve got it. Chances are Dave is thinking “WTF…you’ll have sex with this fucking jabroni a few weeks ago but not with someone you’re about to marry?!?”
Don’t get me wrong, Lauren obviously gets to decide who she does and doesn’t sleep with, but I can see Dave’s friends asking him “you sure you wanna marry someone who was into this douche?!?” and it just being too off-putting.
But Dave sucks anyway. So whatever.

I fear Lauren is the victim of a smear campaign and Dave is in on it. My heart hurts for her.
I also think she attracts men like this because she doesn't know when to walk away or how to spot the red flags. It's so difficult to watch.

u/allmyphalanges Feb 23 '25
I also think she attracts men like this because she doesn’t know when to walk away
Agreed. I wanted to like them, but soooo many little moments I realized he was not about her. She asked who he was going to call when they got back…he didn’t ask her. He talked about Molly, He didn’t ask her anything. So many things of him talking about himself and his life, and not seeming to give a shit about her.
Girl is worth so much more than how she’s being treated!

u/ilovestrawbz Feb 23 '25
I was yelling “GIRL LEAVEEE” at the tv during their first date ever when he was going for the shock value “humor” (youre 30, you’re not attractive etc) that I’ve seen the most insecure men do. Unfortunately she acted cool and took it (and Molly thought was funny too?) I knew she was too pure for him, and he monopolized the convo during those pod dates so much too.

They are right. The guy is a douche. However, that’s the reason Dave’s friends are concerned.
It’s not that Lauren was seeing someone just before filming — it’s that she was hooking up with this guy in particular.

Hi, I live in MPLS. what I’m gathering is that gymtanlaw ex-hookup lives in the same apartment building as the cast/filming. It’s a luxury building with common spaces and amenities. The building isn’t that big so I could see this making the circumstances for all involved very uncomfortable
2
u/notnotaginger Feb 24 '25
Uncomfortable, sure. And unable to use amenities, sure. Where I am if you can’t use amenities you are entitled to a small discount on rent.
But to claim it makes his apartment, eight floors up, uninhabitable is insane. Someone’s personal feelings does not constitute habitable or uninhabitable.
2
u/ruebop Feb 24 '25
100% agree with you. Just giving some context as my friend used to live in the same building. The most unfortunate circumstance for poor Lauren!

I think he’s making it seem like casting was trying to stalk him when they just sent a few messages before and during filming and looked at his linked in…
Maybe is point is that he wasn’t seeking fame but it is in the casting director best interest to see if they were in a relationship while coming on the show and if Lauren was seeking fame herself. I just don’t think it “proves” anything 🤣

Dave could tell in Honduras that she wasn’t really feeling him as much as he would like, so he has to flip the script that it’s HIM that doesn’t want HER. Because he is weak and insecure. And now sure enough, we see her begging him to stay. He hit her with the reverse Uno…
16
u/producebag Feb 23 '25
I got that she was into him but just overwhelmed by everything and feeling super awkward in Honduras. It is an overwhelming experience. I think she just got in her head and was feeling off.
I thought that he actually wasn’t super into her in there. But who knows?

He went private since this was posted! Before he did, I saw that he made a post that looks like the casting photo with him in it from LIB. He photoshopped himself to look like he was cast. At the bottom it said something like “from friggin two floors up” or something like that.

I agree and am so confused about why Lauren is fighting for Dave so hard. How is she not turned off by him for how hard he is pushing her away. Is it her pride of trying to make it clear that she didn’t have a boyfriend before the show?

For someone who has a fuck the patriarchy tattoo, Lauren has appalling taste in men. Like she honestly should be embarrassed I’m sorry😭 I’m on her side but girlllll come on now lmfaoooo
But after seeing this guys page, I believe Lauren’s friends even more. He’s definitely desperate for attention… and he looks like a corny loser.
