We've learned something, though. This is how it goes with Lucas; he talks so much that occasionally the tough-guy act drops and you get these genuine glimpses of his unfiltered id.
Lucas says, above all else, his greatest wish is to be able to talk any woman away from her boyfriend / husband. Not beat the guy up and take her by force, you understand.
He wants to be able to gain this currency of worth, beautiful not-single women. He wants to be more desired than any husband or boyfriend.
This tells us so much: this whole love quest is Lucas trying to assuage his busted ego: he rightly feels worthless and useless, but this makes him angry because he fundamentally thinks he should have value.
He never goes past the first date in his fantasies. Why? Lucas is a consummate loner. He doesn't want a wife or life partner, he wants someone to abase themselves before him and tell him how great he is, why they deserve him, as if he's some high prize. He's terrified and repulsed by others. He only interacts with the world out of necessity, or through attempts to manipulate.
He gives his "donations" to the homeless silently and secretly, while they're sleeping. It never occurs to Lucas that a hungry homeless man might enjoy a warm taco much more than a stone-frozen one that's sat on the sidewalk next to him for 6 hours while he's slept.
Why? Because it's not about the taco or the homeless man; it's Lucas making his flawed currency exchange: He shows himself to be a good feminist liberal, then young girls have to date him. Put in "A", get result "B". We've discussed Russell Greer in similar terms, he too views women only through malformed transactional relationship terms.
They both get furious when they put a quarter in the gumball machine of life, crank the dial, and get nothing.
Russell has proven that he values and enjoys sex, however. It's horrifying to think about, but it's there.
Lucas is operating on much simpler terms. Whoever first labeled him an essential caveman, only concerned with eat and screw, was brilliant.
But I think he's even less complex than that. Lucas loves food, not women or sex. He takes seconds of disgusting homeless handout casseroles. He seems to mostly be concerned with huge portions rather than quality or taste. He's trying to fill a hole inside, an empty place where nobody respects him and he doesn't even respect himself. This is why he lashes out; jealousy is his prime motivator, and beautiful young girls are, in his mind, primo ego currency. They give him worth. Everyone will respect him then.
Shit, he's even started to see women as a literal currency, saying that when he gets a girlfriend, people WILL donate more to his patreon.
Don't let's get this twisted: Lucas hates women. Lucas hates his family. Lucas hates young men and old grey beards. Lucas hates Spokane and he hated Olympia when he was there, because neither city validates his ego. Lucas loves food in large quantities, and he loves sitting on his ass doing nothing. That's as far as his love goes.
The rest is all hate and he should be owed this and that.
Women are Lucas's attempt to fill the hole of low self-esteem.
The problem is his low self-esteem is rational; he feels worthless because his life IS worthless.
Rather than taking slow and permanent steps to change this, Lucas wants the quick fix of vicarious ego, proxy worthiness.
