haha good thing i'm not the only one, only being able to have played the game right before the next update.
i too always wondered why cindy gets that much praise. someone said it before though, that she is the only girl who has no scenes yet and isn't some archetype (seeing as ivy is a sex symbol and holly a wallflower). additionally to many people it's delightful to snatch someone away, who is actually already in a relationship. that's the main appeal to mike as well, i think.
"show, don't tell" is definitely a reason why people feel no remorse towards wade. frankly i don't see how wade realistically could maintain the relationship to her, the way he is and evakiss made no effort to keep me from thinking otherwise.
another thing is, however i don't believe it directly projects it's inlfuence on this case, is how jeremy acts. we play as ian and not as jeremy. and i'm sure that people want to play ian as a player. hell you already can have flings with 4 different women (minerva not even included). because when we are going to get the option to try something with jeremy as lena, and we're going to eventually, jeremy won't stop himself for ian. i mean if you fully go allison, jeremy still tries his luck, or at least expects you to be "manly" enough to not be bothered by competition, so why would he stop himself if lena is okay with it.
and that's kinda the same with cindy. sure they are actually a couple, not like the vague situation lena and ian seem to be in, but initially it's not ian's fault that cindy is looking elsewhere. see it this way: if a couple goes to shambles because of cheating, whenever the cheated one is angry at the outsider and not the cheater, they are considered dumb. and rightfully so i might say. the real trust problems come from the cheater not the outsider. and even though ian is not actually an outsider, he is not really out to hurt wade by keeping cindy company.
so far if we look from ian's perspective we have, jeremy who rather does his own thing than to reminiscence of past days, perry who is not worth keeping as a friend (really who needs enemies if you have friends like these), Emma who has not the heart to tell no to perry and despite being happy go lucky with everyone, probably only spends time with the others because they have a history together and wade who would do nothing at all if he could. what kind of friends ian really has? so it's no wonder that when cindy isn't content with the situation, ian can sympathize with her and keep her company instead of wade.
so in the narrative of things, i don't feel ian has the obligation to maybe suppress cindy's only outlook for happiness in for friendship's sake. helping wade might be the right thing to do, but might not have the best outcome either.
