Robert:The Robert reaction is interesting to me. Good-looking, takes care of himself, has a good job, likes Lena.
Arguably he's a better relationship prospect than Ian, who doesn't even have a real job, is about to get fired from his internship for insubordination, and is trying to fuck 3-4 other women.
-really seems to have nothing in common with Lena
-tries to use his position as Lena's supervisor to extort sex from her
-tries to use the fact that Axel punched him to guilt Lena into dating/having sex with him
-since he is otherwise not connected to the games at-large social group, we have no idea who else he might be trying to get with
-isn't really able to satisfy Lena sexually unless she takes charge of the situation (My direct knowledge of this assertion is from skimming the scripts and comments here. Due to the sheer number of scenes available, perhaps he gets his shit together in this area eventually.)
Ian:
-has an awful lot in common with Lena (art, music, life situation, Holly )
-progresses his relationship with her respectfully, without tricks, extortion or guilt
-has no problem satisfying Lena (even though there's only 1 scene which some might not even get if they decide to make a more balanced skill approach for Lena)
-may be trying to get with other women if player chooses, but doesn't have to be. (Personally, I chose to sleep with Allison once in my playthrough but probably won't pursue her further because of equal parts 1) seems she's gonna sleep with both Ian and Jeremy unless you build your entire life around her and she doesn't even want a relationship supposedly 2) the relationship with Lena is heating up/getting more serious. I've had a flirty relationship with Cindy, but have pretty consistently encouraged her to work on her relationship with Wade. I'll admit to having naughty designs on Holly, but I hope to include Lena in that so it don't count! )
Sorry, I'm not seeing the relative merits of these two tipping in Robert's favor in the finding Lena a good boyfriend route. Now if you are talking the depraved slut route, that's a horse of a different color!
