I'm going to bet given her age and background she's been a part of this weird sphere online where girls all brag about all the money and gifts they can get men to give to them. I can only compare it to how young guys lie and brag about all the sex they are having with hot chicks. The girls all set up accounts with sexy selfies and then claim they have men just falling over themselves to give them money and gifts. You mean you don't make an extra $2k a month selling your old underwear on IG? Hmm, maybe you just don't have what it takes. It runs the gamut from girls claiming men send them Hermes purses just for existing to prices lists for blow jobs and anal. I figure Dez was somewhere in the middle and would be traveling towards the latter quickly. She probably wasn't prepared for reeling in a big fish like Boogie.
Boogie probably thinks he snapped her up just in time before too many hard miles got put on her by abusive boyfriends and sex work to make her wise to him, but he’s wrong. Given her background and inexperience she really thinks Boogie is rich. She's probably never known anyone who owned their own house that wasn't an elderly relative. Boogie's generic suburb house is a rich person house to her.
I had to laugh when Boogie was asking if she'd stay with him if he had to get an apartment and live off his disability check. Getting a disability check were "goals" in her Mama's house in Kansas. I'm sure her mom thought she had really landed a catch when she got married to a guy who gets a disability check. Dez isn't going to stick around to live with a fat old man getting SSI. Creepy old men living off SSI are a dime a dozen in white trash world she's from. Living with a fat weird man in a big house, that makes $7k a month and is physically incapable of sex is big step up for her. Her performative "chores" shown in the documentary were funny.
I don't think she's thrilled with having to publicly be displayed as his girlfriend, but she figures it might help her find a better option in the future. Boogie isn't physically capable of sexual activity so he thinks her having to role play as sexually satisfied girlfriend online is a decent trade off. If he actually starts taking testosterone again and can take viagra without having a stroke, she will be out the door relatively fast. It's one thing to have to play in the bath tub, rub his back and walk around in slutty clothes for Boogies enjoyment, but having sex on any sort of frequent basis is out of the question. Right now she can just enjoy his adulation of her with very few demands. Dog walking is probably the most physically taxing thing she does for Boogie.
On the bright side, even with her young age, she now has him over a barrel and she should have enough low cunning to realize it. I'm sure mama would point it out if she was having any trouble understanding her current leverage in the relationship. Now that she's been publicly revealed and praised, he has to make sure to keep her happy and satisfied with the arrangement. She could make a nice chunk of change by leaving him and giving interviews about their relationship. I do wonder if there have been any discussions about his will. Boogie is playing the "will die soon" card on her hard. Partly it's a way to use guilt and pity to get her to stick around, on the other it's a carrot. Maybe if she's sticks by the dying fat man's side she'll get his house and all his shit when he dies? I don't think she's smart enough to understand his debt and mortgage situation so she probably thinks she gets a free house if he dies. I don't think Boogie would actually put her his will or make any arrangements for her if he suddenly died, but this type of manipulation would perfectly match Boogie's history. Boogie doesn't actually think he will die any time soon, but he loves to use his poor health as a manipulation tactic. Making a young girl think she could hit the jackpot if she can just stick it out with a poor, sick man in his final years is definitely a tactic Boogie would use to the hilt. I can see him mentioning changing his will to her on a regular basis as a sign of his love.
I do wonder where her family is in all of this. Most normal mothers would be horrified by their 20 year old daughter being a sex doll for a creepy fat man older than her. I bet Boogie is at least ten years older than Dez' mother. Dez 's mom might smell opportunity and encourage her daughter to try to milk everything she can out of his weird fat dude. Then again she might not be on speaking terms with her mom. Very likely Boogie was her ticket out of a white trash family drama dumpster fire. If she moved in with Boogie to escape her crazy family that will only be temporary. Her and mom will make up eventually. Sonya entering the fray of Boogie world would be a very interesting new chapter. Hell I could see either of her parents giving a go at blackmailing old Boogie if anybody in their white trash posse wises up to what Boogie is and how ripe he is for the picking. I wonder what Boogie and Dee's plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas are?
Bravo. Articulated my thoughts perfectly RE the mysterious cancer which comes and goes!
