I think you taking all the different paths as an indication of Lena's personality, but that isn't the case. Lena/Ian become who we want them to become, these choices are just different paths they might take, but nonetheless each path creates a shift in their personality(within limitations of their established personality of course), they can be shitty af, or dope ppl who take others into consideration; for example Ian can either be a really good friend to Wade and actively try to help him get back with Cindy, or he can go after Cindy and feel bad about it, or he can be a total hypocrite going out with Cindy behind Wade's back, gaslight him as being a pos, then turn around and rag on Jeremy for doing something similar with Alison.......who isn't his girlfriend. All of this though is based on what we choose, so if you don't want your Lena to be a hypocrite then simply make different choices.True. The only one my mc would have a serious relationship is Holly though. I will tell you why. If we both are having fun Lena, Me with some girls and Lena with Louise and some guys, she still wanna judge Ian for having slept with Holly even he being honest to holly and Lena through the whole time. Lena was never open about who she is fucking to him. This is when I give them both the freedom to date who they want. on Ian's side he goes for Alison, Emma, Holly and Lena. On Lena side, she goes for the DJ, Ian, Louise and uses axel pictures. She also play with her fans. And Ian knows about her erotic model profession and doesn't Judge her, but she does to him. That for me is a "no go" with Lena.
Another thing that has nothing to do with the subject but I noticed and kinda made me sad is how guys force themselves on Girls. Just because Lena was nice to Robert and went in a date with him he tries to kiss her even when she isn't flirting or anything, he first lured her into go in a date using the work problem as an excuse. Saying he is gonna tell her what is going on. Then he never tells he knows about her modeling, so he already assumed from what he saw that if she is that kind of model she would go out with him and have sex. He tries to force himself on her. Very bad attitude. Then Axel. He goes after her family, she gives him a chance to explain himself, he says he is sorry, she accepts his apologies but makes it clear that whatever they had is in the past. But when he has a chance to work with her again he also takes advantage of her by kissing her and she has to push him twice for him to release her. And the last is the Seymour guy. So if the girl doesn't wanna work with him, he will try to destroy her life and not let her have any job.
And funny is. In real life men usually treat women like that we just don't realize it most of time. When she turned down Seymour, she went for axel to keep doing her modeling job and he tries to force himself on her. The other guy would only help her at work if she slept with him. And the third won't let her have a job if she doesn't do the erotic voyeur stuff that he wants.
It leaves her with Stan, the fucking creepy guy. If she is understanding and nice with him, he will remain being a creppy towards her.
In my gameplay she is Jobless .
Saying all that her issue with Ian and Holly isn't about her(Lena), it's about Holly. Holly is not okay with being Ian's casual fuck, she just accepts it because she's infatuated with him, and is a huge pushover, she "totally cool" about all the shit Ian's doing because she simply does not have the confidence to speak her mind, this is a huge part of her character. Lena knows all this, and knows that while Holly is an adult, she also has issues, and her casual relationship with Ian is simply toxic for her, as it will result in her letting Ian walk all over her(Lena's own history makes this a huge sore point). She's not being a hypocrite here, she's simply being protective of Holly.
Yea Woman deal with shit like that a lot, that's why things like Red or even Yellow flags can be a dealbreaker, because it can lead to being caught in a really fucked up situation. There's also this cultural expectation of women playing hard to get so "your not seen as easy" and dudes being aggressive because "woman are just playing hard to get", it just creates this whole fucked up cycle that isn't good for anybody. And this is really only one of the many reasons. As to Robert, Axel, and Seymour though their just shitty ppl. Axel and Seymour are straight sociopaths, and Robert's a lowkey incel. Since Ian can't do corruption content, majority of it went to Lena, so most of her LIs are just creepy dudes, that's why Eva wanted to rewrite Stan to give Lena more wholesome options, just hoping that his creepiness is toned down alot on the Lena being genuine friends with him path(then he can go full creep on the other path).
