I agree with you in that I don't think that Vivian's primary need is sexual. Maybe that was not clear in my comments. I also don't dispute that she was awkward with Rain and Sunshine. She was awkward with them, but I think she was at the bar looking for validation. When I said that she was looking for love, attention, affirmation, excitement, I was thinking more about validation than sex. Again, that might be my failure to be more clear. Vivian wanted to be picked up. There was a man who walked over to her table. She smiled at him when she thought he was interested, but then he laughed at her, and she became sad. I think Vivian wants to be seen as attractive, and she wants validation. She probably values validation from men she thinks are more dominant than she does from men who she thinks are less dominant (Christian vs Hutch). I think she went home with Sunshine and Rain because they validated her (Sunshine talked her up, was caring, listened to her problems and they both found her attractive). None of this justifies her cheating on Hutch with them. She should go to Hutch for these things, and if she had not betrayed him, she would get this from Hutch. I am not sure if this clarification changes your thoughts on my comments. If not, that is fine. I find your opinions to be very thoughtful and interesting.
