Woman: "stands up for herself" TV Shows: "OMINOUS MUSIC"

It triggered me SO BAD when Dave shifted all the blame to the women and complained about the "girl drama". Boy, you ARE the drama! Ugh.

[whyamievendoingthis...]

Dr. Honda: Maybe Dave is not so bad and was just saying villanous things out of nerves!
Dave, barely 3 minutes later: ugh girl drama
Dr. Honda: ...Yeah. Okay.

The Moment he dismissed their conflict as “girl drama” I was done with him.

[noelleirina]

"What was holding us back is not knowing. I didn't know if you were seeing other guys still." Huh? What about you dating another woman? He really likes to shift blame. She confronted him about something he did wrong, and he's making it seem like it's all about her not having told him if he's the only one or not. That makes no sense.

Kids do indeed call it delulu. And Dave is delulu if he thinks he is half the man these women need and deserve

Unpopular opinion- I found it refreshing how forthright Lauren was, considering they may have given her an edit to make it seem she was being extra forthright. I loved that she batted away his “girl drama” statement. If they do continue together, he might learn a lot from her…

[noelleirina]

I get Lauren. He was her only connection and he put another person above her pretty late in the game. I really don't think she's blasting him or blaming him, or arguing. She just wanted clarification and was irritated because he was dishonest. The music and editing also makes it look more combative. I'm willing to bet he had a turn to speak between all those questions.

[RenayOpish]

Oh just you wait for pathologies, Dr H!! 😂. Or maybe not, but certainly some good jumping off points—

[samanthas]

Since we didn't cover it - I don't dislike Lauren by any means but I did feel like she was sort of distorting and jumping to conclusions about Molly coming to conclusions that Molly was conspiring against her. So I was hoping Dr. Honda would have covered that.

You should look into the allegations against Alex. They are very concerning and it’s important to warn people about him. Story time with Rikki does a good job discussing them. He gives good evidence that he had parties with minors and gave them alcohol.

[Lola-eczd]

Dave really gives me German vibes. Lots of guys here in Germany behave like him. And also look like him.

[eviep]

The "girl drama" comment was alone such a turn off

[adrianamartinez]

The intro should hv been enough for her. He's got the worst vibes, so cocky with little self-awareness. The worst combo. Girl run!!! 😂

[michelledig]

10:04 Dr. Honda and I once again make the same exact face 😂

[mp_eb]

I wonder why Dave was so concerned about his sister's feelings in regards of him participating in the show. I could be wrong but I picked up on maybe even some controlling vibes. 🤔 And also, Dave's impolite question "what's wrong with you?" could have come from his sister's worry that no one is good enough for him and also from thinking that some women have all the wrong reasons to be on the show (which Dave mentioned a lot). There seems to be more there. 🤔

[paranormalinpdx]

Oh Dave... yeah "waves a red flag" for some it seems the goal is the vacation, not the marriage.... Lauren acting rational, and suddenly this is too hard, girl drama. Dave: I didn't know if you were still dating others (holding them back excuse) Lauren: You're the only reason I'm here Dave: OMG OMG = dude's a manfant

[xMissMushx]

This scene and the scene afterwards when they’re back in the lounge - the whole thing made me feel like I don’t know which one of them is delusional. At one point I thought maybe the edit isn’t showing us something because both of the girls seem so confident that they are the first pick

[uhu]

Hey, doc. Has anyone mentioned that you look like Chow Yun Fat, the Asian movie star 😅
