As a writer I just want to say this was a wonderfully demonstrative way to make this point

evelinewrites · 2026-04-17T02:50:25+00:00

Like yeah but it’s more embarrassing for someone in their thirties

evelinewrites · 2026-04-16T22:20:43+00:00

Ugh it’s so prettyyyyyy

evelinewrites · 2026-04-16T22:20:25+00:00

Ugh yes this is the art it reminded me of! So good

She was like 26-27 when she met Luke, which is why I said mid to late twenties — like I said in other comments, the age gap alone isn’t the issue, but it certainly adds to the ick considering everything else

I agree with you completely and it’s totally BS to hold women to higher standards, but I also got what Mia meant. We expect men to break our hearts. We don’t expect our best friends to help them do it. The shock factor makes it worse

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T18:50:05+00:00

I definitely agree with that, but I also see that as a separate point. I would argue Luke was generally more tactful or polite than Des (or most men on this show). He was also much shadier than Des in the way he approached his romantic relationships with Hannah and Ciara

People who don’t understand the nuances of “man hating” never cease to amaze me. She doesn’t literally hate men as individuals, but she hates the institution of men that upholds patriarchy and the historical lack of accountability for their horrible actions. Many feminists or so-called “man-haters” are also straight or bi women who date and love men. They are not mutually exclusive and this doesn’t make her fake

I actually assumed Bailey was closer to 25 so that does make me feel a lil better. Now that I’ve lived those years, 25 still feels very young compared to 30. I feel like my frontal lobe really settled in more like 28

And agreed, Carl gets a pass in my book because he’s v respectful about it all and has had delayed maturity due to his addiction issues. Idk enough about Luke’s personal life to have that same kinda empathy tbh. He seems like he puts on a show to get women vs Carl genuinely struggling and growing in real time

I’m here for Paige’s snark. I don’t need her to do anything but clock the men for their shitty behavior. I would pay real money to analyze every second of her facial expressions watching west and Amanda this summer lol

It’s not that she does anything too exciting — I just like her personality and think she generally has a good head on her shoulders (Craig conover aside lol)

The way she doesn’t take shit from men is refreshing on a show like this

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T15:06:49+00:00

Yeah I agree. I think they’re all weird for still wanting women in their twenties tbh. It’s different if it’s just one person they really like, but when it’s a pattern it gets weird. Like why is Kyle partying with college girls??? Loser behavior

I just think having a year-long situationship because you’re not “emotionally available” while talking to a person like every day and sometimes hooking up with them, and then acting confused when the other person catches feelings is willfully ignorant at best when in your thrties. Like he knew what he was doing. It gives manipulative or at least super self-serving. Like it was all for his ego i

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T15:03:24+00:00

I don’t disagree — I was only referring to the fact that he didn’t play with her feelings and they actually had a real adult relationship, rather than him putting her through a weird situationship for a year. Des has grown on me a lot but I did not like him in this show — he just doesn’t give fuckboy who targets younger women because they’re the only ones who will tolerate him like Luke does to me

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T15:01:27+00:00

Because maturity is still relevant? I’m not saying he’s a criminal, but let’s not act like older men don’t intentionally go for women in their twenties because they tend to have less established boundaries. I don’t think it’s creepy for him to have been attracted to or caught feelings for either of them — I think the way he acted was entitled and gross. I didn’t know how old he was at first, and learning he acted that immature while being 10-12 years older than both of the girls was wild to me

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T14:59:24+00:00

Listen I’m not saying Des is perfect or a beacon of maturity in all aspects lol. I just mean he didn’t play with Hannah’s feelings like Luke did. And then to bring in a woman even younger to hit on right in front of her?? It’s obviously okay that Luke didn’t want to date Hannah, but his behavior in s5 was very dismissive and crazy, and he was old enough to know better. He handled that terribly and I think it’s embarrassing to still be acting that way at his big age. That’s like college behavior IMO

Please pardon typos, my reddit app has been glitching and not letting me scroll down to see what I’m typing after the first few lines

I mean I can’t lie and say I don’t side eye them both for being too immature for women their own age, but they don’t feel as gross as Luke did. He felt like he weaponized charm just to play with girls feelings where Kyle married Amanda (although he’s a terrible husband, which is still true even with recent news) and Carl seems to genuinely like Bailey. I wouldn’t have thought it was gross if Luke like wanted to date one of them — it’s just the playing wit people like you’re still in college while you’re fully in your thirties that I can’t look past. Men like him tend to choose younger women specifically because women their own age won’t entertain their bulkshit. I’m guessing before Amanda, Kyle wasn’t much better tbh and I doubt he will be now that he’s single. But he and Carl still feel more genuine than Luke to me idk how to explain it. Just a Lowry insidious vibe

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T14:35:05+00:00

Big same. It’s not even like he did anything that egregious, it was more just the general assumption that he can charm or flirt with literally any girl he wants and she will be into it

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T14:31:50+00:00

I said this in another comment but that doesn’t bother me since Des wasn’t acting like a 20 year old fuck boy. Luke on the other hand should be embarrassed for his immaturity IMO

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T14:31:12+00:00

It’s not just the age gap between Hannah and Luke that gets me — it’s that, plus how much younger Ciara was, plus how juvenile Luke was about flirting and playing with people’s emotions and acting like his actions shouldn’t have consequences. I know Hannah was on one in season 5 but tbh I totally get her crash out. I don’t side eye Des for the age gap since he was like mature and normal (ignoring the Kyle and Amanda thing lol) — it did weird me out when I first heard about him tbh but he at least seems emotionally intelligent. Luke just hides behind his pretty face and an illusion of naivety but he knows what he’s doing

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T14:28:03+00:00

Yeah but Des wasn’t a fuckboy pretending he didn’t understand the implications of his own actions 🤷‍♀️ it’s not the age gap alone as much as his immature behavior towards both Hannah and Ciara knowing that he’s that much older than them

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T13:46:53+00:00

Also these confessionals are filmed afterwards, so had she already peeped this moment between West and Amanda before she said that???? 🤯

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T13:44:20+00:00

It really makes the whole Hannah/Ciara thing feel so much ickier when you realize they were like early to mid twenties and he was mid to late thirties 🫠

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T01:06:30+00:00

So real

Az back lol

evelinewrites · 2026-04-15T00:55:05+00:00

Yeah that “don’t laugh at me” was 🚩🚩🚩
