The men of this season
I see a lot of posts mainly calling out the behavior of the women of this season to the point where most of the men’s behavior have gone unnoticed/forgotten.
Samraj: Stating the obvious here but is disdain for Priya is actually concerning. This is love island not manosphere island. He’s not the only misogynistic person this season or in past seasons but the “nice guy” trope that he continues to force is so baffling to me. His feelings for Mica are contingent on her not steering away from the ridiculous standards and ideal that he has for women, and her being impressionable and non confrontational is getting the job done.
Lorenzo: Creates a ridiculous rule of not making coffee for his couple yet most likely expecting intimacy? YUCK. I don’t care if he makes a better friend, it’s not that difficult to respect the girl you’re in a couple with.
Simba: His reaction to Mica saying no to the hideaway. Emotionally manipulating Angie by mentioning God. Threatens to leave the villa if Angie leaves even though he brought Mara back from casa? Putting Angie in embarrassing situations time and time again and once she’s finally had enough… what does he do? Says a speech declaring his devotion to Angie in front of everyone therefore pressuring her into taking him back.
Aiden: GIMME A KISS. His ability to try and s*xually shame Priya even though he’s been begging for kisses within 5 seconds into getting to know a girl? Yeah he overstayed his welcome.
Kav: The way he’s toyed around with Charleen’s feelings and basically future faking is emotional manipulation. He did the same to Jasmine but she’s in too deep to realize it. I did not like how he handled everything once he came back from casa and he felt justified by his actions because he’s too afraid to admit that he’s insecure. He did both women dirty and hardly got any flack for it.
Tommy: Potential girlfriend on the outside? Yet all I see are posts calling out Priya/Jasmine/Julia game playing?
The unusual high standards that we set for women on this show compared to men is utterly exhausting. Split the $50k between the girlies at this point.
