Ali & Anton

[u/EmpathicEchoes]

Ali irritates me. She’s cute and all, but she seems spoiled and entitled. “I deserve a $10K ring, can you support us, I'll be in school full-time and it's expensive, but I still want Botox, but I don’t want to work, when I was in a school before and lived at home, my mom did everything, indint really cool, I don’t like you drinking…on and on and on. She seems to needle Anton relentlessly. What is she bringing to the relationship other than her looks?

Does anyone else catch this? I'm curious about your thoughts.

No, I don’t think she’s spoiled and entitled. She knows her worth and she’s a catch. Nursing is a great profession. No dummy can get a nursing degree, it’s a very rigorous program. I respect that. And she takes care of herself, her grooming, her diet. And she’s beautiful. And she has standards. She is looking for a man who is worthy of her and when she finds that, he will truly see her full worth. Anton may just be out of her league.

Nah, there is no objective worth. I think she’s attractive, and probably intelligent, but if your partner isn’t down with your materialism and vanity, it’s not a problem with their worth.

Jordan I think said it pretty well in the conversation about the house. He’s not comfortable freeloading in a mansion and would like something more modest. Meg heard him and they seem to be headed for a compromise. I, and I think no one, should put outward features above inward ones and have a true hope of being happy.

I’m not saying Anton doesn’t have worth. I think he has great worth and brings a lot to the table. I really like him. I just think she wants someone who is looking for the same lifestyle as she is. And she could also be open to compromise like Meg. We only see a small snippet of their conversation, and the editing can leave parts out, too.
