So he actually does think he's going to serve her at one of her concerts...

And more sour grapes about the Mormons:

He has a sister, yet he obviously didn't have a clue how to talk to young women in a sisterly manner, as fellow humans having a shared experience, without it coming across as "flirting." Then again, it's not like he had any interest in talking to them as fellow human beings, but rather as a prize he believed was his to claim as God's favorite idiot.
And he clearly can't comprehend that his fellow male missionaries were able to socialize with female missionaries in an appropriate way, getting to know them as people, making a good impression that opened the door to expressing interest when the time was right to do so. Nah.
It makes me wonder what he imagined married life would be like. I can only imagine he saw it as having a live-in housekeeper who would provide sex whenever he wanted it, and not question or oppose him in any way. He has so little comprehension of the fact that other people have thoughts, feelings, and desires of their own--that they have an
existence apart from Russell Greer, that has nothing to do with giving him (or denying him) what he wants. And he doesn't comprehend that other people have a right to want just as much from him in return. He's sort of aware that there has to be an exchange, but when you look at the cheap, shitty, impersonal tokens he offers, that he thinks are good enough--wow. Just wow.
It's truly fortunate that he's too stupid and socially tone-deaf to keep his narcissistic agendas hidden. Many Narcissists are really good at putting on a charming social façade to win others over, and can pick up on useful clues about others' desires, so their victims don't realize how horrible they are until it's too late. But none of that is present with Russell. He's so socially impaired, he believes that if
he thinks his approach is appropriate, or his token gift is good enough,
then it is. And he never learns.
He never fucking learns. And that's honestly for the best, because if he had the capacity to learn, and thus could keep his Narcissism better hidden, he might have the potential to actually hurt somebody, rather than just creep them out.
