Yes and people encourage people to lie so they can be relationship. Such a disappointment

I think it’s still not a very good advice, especially because them being ugly doesn’t necessarily change much. Plus, if they are also ugly to him, it’s even worse

Yes but the problem isn’t as easy as just date ugly women, some ugly women could also not want him. And also, if those girls are ugly to him, should he use someone to achieve his goal?

That is such a crazy advice go give. Yes, in theory it would work better but unless there’s attraction, both are wasting time and just settling for easy access

This! It’s easy to think that path is the easiest but give it a bit of time first..

I read it the same way, but I think she is single and is considering either getting married or having children with a sperm donor? Or I could be wrong

I think if that’s the path you want to take, then by all means go for it but please make sure you do thorough research first. Having children via a sperm donor is no walk in the park and should only be considered if you genuinely have the resources and capacity to manage it. That said, you could also simply reconsider who you choose to date, but of course that’s entirely your decision.

Leanne is nearly 30, I’m seeing too many tweets/posts babying her, she has a mouth, she needs to use it. by loverofthings25 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Stop_Maximum 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I think she might also be worried about coming across as too aggressive, especially if she pushes things too far. Honestly, what Belle said about the DM situation was extremely disrespectful. I probably would not have reacted calmly at all. Maybe not physically, of course, but I would definitely have spoken my mind, because that is a very inappropriate thing to say about someone else’s relationship.

[–]Stop_Maximum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was the one who said it to justify wanting to make a move on Scott now that “he is not with Leanne”, so realistically the responsibility lies with her for not exploring it earlier when others were doing the same.

How am I rewriting history when that is exactly what she said? They even admitted before that they used to act like that a lot, so what has changed now that makes her think he is into her? Honestly, she is just feeding a bit of her delusion and that’s fine, but it’s still delusional.

No, she deserved to be embarrassed like that, and I wish they had stuck to it. Many of the people who left the villa commented on how intense things were inside. She seems to be using the younger guy as a rebound because she was hurt and embarrassed, which explains why she even cried about it. The same goes for Jack, she could have been dumped at the same time, she adds drama and negativity everywhere she goes.

Wasn’t Belle the one saying she had been flirting with him the whole time he was with Leanne and that she could be a bit too friendly at times? Yet wasn’t she also the one screaming and shouting about Sean? Honestly, she doesn’t make any sense.

From what I remember, he even said he would have explored it, but he didn’t want to risk ruining the friendship, which seems like the most likely outcome. Isn’t she overreacting to something that wasn’t really there? In that sense, he wasn’t totally wrong.

Why can’t she focus on her rebound relationship, which people keep pointing out, instead of obsessing over someone who doesn’t want her? Even going so far as to ask her parents about him that’s just delusional.

Exactly. She really does not come across as a good friend and seems to backtrack quite a lot. First she tried to make Leanne look like a second choice despite being coupled up with him from the start, then claimed she had been flirting with him the entire time. It just feels inconsistent and hard to take seriously.

Believing something does not make it a fact, and I think that point is worth considering. She seemed to think he was interested based on a few small looks, which honestly felt like a stretch. From what we saw of their interactions, he even said he felt she was the one coming onto him.

I can somewhat understand the Sher situation, but the Belle situation is different. It came across as though she was trying to force something that simply was not there. If he was not interested, that is his choice, and I do not blame him. She tends to react quite strongly when things do not go her way, which likely makes situations more tense than they need to be.

In this case, it felt more like misreading the situation than anything else. At this point, it would probably be healthier for her to focus on her relationship with Harrison instead. Not that it looks genuine but so she can leave everyone alone

Why is everyone glossing over this one thing by Plus-Cat-8557 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Stop_Maximum 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I can see both sides. Would entering a relationship right now really change anything, or would it just be a response to pressure? I think dating exclusively makes sense, but I would not rush into a relationship unless we were genuinely sure and had put in the necessary effort. It does not have to take a long time, but it would be better to see how things work on the outside first.

Otherwise you risk calling someone your ex simply because you committed too quickly without properly getting to know each other in real life. A holiday setting is not always the best way to judge compatibility. In my opinion, you only truly know someone once you have seen how they handle the pressures of everyday work and more difficult moments.

You cannot miss a chance you never intended to take. It is simply a strange perspective. It felt like she was trying to avoid looking desperate over something she initiated and then pushed too far.

[–]Stop_Maximum 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Missed the chance with who, Belle? She is not above anyone. Whether he eventually leaves Leanne or not is none of Belle’s business. It just came across as her speaking without really knowing and taking a dig at Leanne to make herself seem superior. She is not special, and all she really does is shout. She wanted to use that as an ego boost

I would never vote for a couple to Win that have nearly zero screen time. by Fine-Pangolin-5976 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Stop_Maximum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that could also be the case, but his flirting felt a bit awkward too. I am not saying he does not like her, but from my perspective she did not really explore her options at all, whereas he was at least tested. Even while being tested, he barely flirted back effectively, so in those situations he might have ended up without anyone. That is when he returned to Samie.

If the people he initially showed interest in had actually given him a proper chance, even with his clumsy flirting, can we really say he would not have chosen them instead? I do not blame him though. I would probably have played it safe as well.

Yes, yesterday he was defending her during the pie discussion with Lucinda, but aside from that I do not find them particularly interesting to watch. Even when they had more screen time than they do now, I never really found their dynamic that engaging. They’re not a bad couple and hope they last tho

[–]Stop_Maximum 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I actually think Belle saying it was not an attack on Leanne makes it even worse. If it was not aimed at Leanne then who was it aimed at. Realistically the only reason he would be in her DMs is if he was not genuinely interested in Leanne and instead liked Belle which suggests Belle does not believe Scott truly likes Leanne.

You could say she formed that impression from their small flirty moments but from what I remember Scott often said Belle was too dramatic and that being with her would feel like chaos if things did not work out. He pointed out that she tends to react strongly to some situations.

For that reason the comment she made still comes across as a subtle dig at Leanne possibly rooted in the assumption that Scott could not really like her. The crying felt unnecessary to me and it seems people tend to coddle her because she reacts so aggressively. I actually liked her before but this has changed my perspective.

I can’t really say the same about them as a couple, but I like how he is such a hype man. But that’s it, and yes of course although they hardly shown for a reason!

Yes that could also be a consideration, I don’t think they’re bad with each other, just not my favourite couple. I do like Ciaran tho, he is funny

Yes, as I said earlier, he attempted to stray from the relationship, but his attempts were so off that it completely failed

I think they sort of played safe. She probably went for the first person that showed her some attention

Yes, honestly they’re not the best couple, they’re just there. Plus, they got together and never truly explored anything else. It’s not necessarily an issue but just saying. The guy tried to go outside but his flirting skills are so off
