30 year old DSP slid into 18 year old Leanna's DMs and tried to fast forward the relationship to lock it down. Is it really hard to imagine 20 something year old DSP ogling 15-16 year olds?
He has to target people on the same level of emotional maturity and life experience as him. The adult women he tried to get with blew him off. Except Kat, but she's a potato on benzos.
No, it's not. He went for Leanna when she wasn't a mature adult, less alone possess a business degree. My Leanna lore is a bit fuzzy, but I'm sure someone can back me up on this, but if I remember correctly, Leanna was going through personal issues of her own when she was living in PA. Hell, she used to take the train to come see him. Why didn't Phil drive the 160 miles to drive to Allentown, spend the weekend with her, and drive back? His back, dood! Also, that was going into his making khantent time...so, Leanna would have to take the bus to the train station, get on the commuter train, and Phil would pick her up at the train station. Without delays, that's a GOOD 5 hours ONE way. Driving to Allentown, from Bridgeport, without traffic...can easily take 3 hours....and if you wanna Smokey and the Bandit it, an hour and a half. Again, that's if you're willing to throw caution to the wind and are just trying to get there.
Point being, Phil knew women in his age range, especially healthy mentally and emotionally ones, know Phil is a piece of shit...and I believe Phil knows this. He's tried to go for women his age, but they shot him down and he figured "Well, If I go for an 18 year old, they won't know the difference. By that time they figure it out, it'll be too late." Also, I remember that quote that he said when he tried to get people to come to Bridgeport and how they can "hit on 14 year old girls". Like, Jesus! Phil said that in his 20's! The thought of anyone even REMOTELY saying that, even as a "joke", it's immediately "Dude, are you some kind of diddler? The fuck is wrong with you?" Also, I love how he had his list and how all women are "teases", "sluts", "all have let me down" and "This list also applies to my mother."
Phil has always been a creep and even finding old quotes he used to say, it all makes sense. Also, Phil has always been awkward around women. I remember the "Reminder: PandaLee is not Asian. That is all", he was squeezing and stroking her arm like he was hugging his middle school crush...and Leanna was uncomfortable.
Khat got with Phil because she needed room and board...remember, they started talking when she was fucking with Subaru man. The moment he found out, he kicked her out and she was homeless. Phil had to RUSH to get her a temporary place, in the facade of "I got back taxes, dood", along with flying her out, paying for shit, etc...and even to this DAY, Phil will claim that "Well, I didn't pay for a high priced escort, dood...The only person that I was flying out was my wife, dood."
And let's never forget that when Philly boy showed off Khat, that look of disgust she made and Phil being SO stupid not to recognize that this bitch is USING him! However, the fuck do I know? I'm a mouth drooling loser.
