As I said, he's naive.Betty's needs are simple, she openly asks for and is repeatedly denied pizza....
Kidding aside acting in a way to make the girls happy was one of the things throwing me off lol, in his thoughts he seems genuine enough. On the other hand in some conversations (like with Martha on the second date) he starts off saying things like "we can go at your pace, there's no rush to going public" then he pushes by saying he doesn't like secrets. When we get to the end of the talk he seems like he's gaslighting by saying "If you're ashamed of me let's end it." It's like finding the boundary, pushing bit by bit followed by a guilt trip, it's a very common tactic for emotional abuse or manipulation, a big 'ol red flag for sure. The last piece that didn't fit was that he wasn't trying to isolate anyone, but rather bring them together.
Thanks for the reply! Knowing now that even if he acts in that way it's not your intention for him to come across as malicious maybe I'll like him a bit more. (It's not that I don't like some asshole or evil characters from time to time but it just did not fit with the story) Guess I can safely change some theories now!
For me, his biggest flaw (besides his naivety) is that he has too many personalities. He tries to make everyone happy because he's naive, but he's somewhat renouncing a part of himself. He is his true self in his thoughts and when he's alone with Jamaal.
He wants to go public. Having so many secrets is killing him slowly, but the girls don't want to do it, so he complies.
The only sentence I remember about Martha being ashamed is this one: "*Fake sigh* Are you ashamed of me? Do you only want me for my muscles? *Laugh*". I looked at the files and didn't find what you said.
I think if he had tried to isolate anyone, we could have labeled him as an abuser. He's doing just the contrary. Bring Megan home so she can talk to Martha. Support Erika when she wants to go public with Norah. Or asking Scarlett how she wants to be introduced to Saira (girlfriend or friend). Only Scarlett and Eileen have greenlighted him to tell anyone about them being a thing, and he's not forcing things on the girls who haven't. He only makes her wishes about it known.
And, as a toddler, she wants to run before knowing how to walk. She wants everything and wants it now. She wants to become an adult and compare to Martha and Norah.Because has as much emotional control as a toddler 3 hours over due for a nap. You have to have control over her if not she is nothing but a raging ball of negative emotions. If any female in this harem needs to be a submissive it is Emma.
I disagree about the submissive thing. If we made Emma submissive, we would take away her freshness. It would be like watching a flower wilt.
Don't worry, the submissive thing won't happen. Remember one of My Dorm's themes is to "accept everyone as everyone is". The MC won't try to tame her. He knows he will fail. And not only fail, but he will lose what makes Emma different from every other girl.Sorry, I despise submissiveness and I absolutely LOVE Emma as a loose cannon. Someone that has very few filters on her emotions, that feels everything VERY intensively, that has the courage to own her shortcomings, that is not afraid to love or hate.
She's an almost perfect portrait of a ADHD woman. Just to be clear, I am ADHD. We pay a heavy price for our specialness, but, damn we are worth it. Emma is worth it, making her submissive is a crime (or should be), hopefully it will never happen. I'd rather have Amanda train her, daily. Give some claws to that rage filled Panther and let her lose.
I don't want her tamed, I want her FIERCE, FEROCIOUS. She's not made to be controlled, she's made to RULE.

Does anyone want a girl who behaves like Scarlett (or Erika, or whoever) but has Emma's face? We already have the original Scarlett (or Erika, or whoever). But we only have one Emma (or two, if you count in a Daphne-faced pseudo-Emma armed with guns).
