He said in the last episode that “the ocean drew him to LA” implying he came from somewhere else? If so, he’s more irresponsible than I thought and the one that needs to be “brought down to earth”. He would be better off in the middle of nowhere and able to afford an actual apartment…

    He said he was from the mountains in Oregon, so likely Bend or maybe hood river (a small suburb outside Mt Hood) ? I think it’s hilarious though that Sophie keeps saying he grew up in the hood…. She seems to care about him just as much as he cares about her. Only thing I see is Sophie wanting to live in LA having no idea what living in LA can entail.

    His living situation wouldn’t be as bad if he were 22. At 32, it’s ridiculous. He needs to get his shit together

      It doesn’t help that he’s young looking, but I literally thought he was in his early or mid 20’s at first, and had a “oh he’ll figure it out at some point” attitude towards his living situation.

      My jaw hit the floor when I found out he was 32! Totally changed my perspective on the situation.

        Yeah. Their ages seem reversed if you go by maturity levels. If he doesn’t mind living without, so be it. But trying to convince her that she’s being unreasonable for complaining is mind boggling

    There are hundreds of places to bring her, the SM pier and Venice Beach are cool for two seconds but that’s tourist shit. He might as well go to Hollywood Blvd. The way he tries to act like he’s from there is hilarious, definitely fronting with his speech too. He reminds me of an influencer who’s been there for 10 minutes and says, “i own this city!”. Real LA people don’t gaf, this ain’t Texas or NYC, calm down.

        I think it’s a joke about how people from Texas or NYC are stereotyped as often bragging or being extremely pompous about where they are from, whereas people from LA don’t brag about being from LA the way Rob does.

    He just thinks he’s so hot that she should be happy to be with him. He’s a total loser who doesn’t want to work and prefer to blame you for having “expensive” taste to belittle her.

    My ex was like that. I earned way more than him and he lived in a crappy room with roomates in London while i lived in France in a nice brand new flat that i bought by MYSELF. He kept telling me i wasnt good enough , kept giving me the cold look as soon as i told him i bought myself something nice. He was bringing money around for every single topic . I could have said something like i didnt liked Mcdonald and he would just reply " yea of course because you’re to good for fastfood" (while i LOVE a good kebab or burger king).

    He was trying to make me feel like shit all the time.

    Those guys love to make a girl insecure about herself , and they will target the ones that are confidents and successful. They are “proud” to have those girls on their arms because they can brag in public but behind close doors its an other story

      I dated a guy like this too. It’s unfortunate that instead of bettering themselves they just try and tear women down cause they have no self esteem no prospects nothing.

      Not even a fake career. Insists on having kids but has no plan at all to be uplifting himself or his life to be prepared for that, at all.

      It’s expensive when you don’t have any skills to have a career that can afford the cost of living. Even if he found a way to scrap together the money needed for a nicer place to rent, no landlord will rent to him because he likely can’t demonstrate consistent, regular income for the rent price. So the best he can do is a dilapidated studio with an outhouse.

      I popped on Zillow and found places in Inglewood for 1300 and 1400 a month that have a bathroom, walls, and windows. Just north of him, outside of the hood, the same general studio/ apartment is listed for 3k. Him choosing to live in a sketchy area in a sketchy illegal “studio” is insane. If you want to live in that area because it’s cheaper, take advantage of that.

        If he is living on welfare or odd jobs, even that amount is expensive when you need food, transportation, etc.

          Well he wouldn’t be able to be living on welfare and then sponsoring someone on a k1 visa. He’s likely paying 800/900 for the shithole he’s in now

    Yeah, any partner saying “you need to be brought to earth” or some shit… get the fuck out. She pretty much revealed what he’s like. He thought cause she’s from money, she’ll always wanna pull from it. He didnt expect her to not want to be defined by her family money.

    The fact a grown ass 32 year old thinks where hes living is appropriate says a lot.

      If he is happy there, he isnt going to change cuz nobody really wants to live like that if given options.
