You know I'm really glad that we get to see Chantal dating in real time as it pretty much indicates that she waa never this sophisticated woman who all the men found attractive and threw themselves at her.
In fact, its the opposite. She 's the annoying, clingy girlfriend that wants to be with her partner 24/7 and can't take a hint when to leave. Hence why the potential boyfriend ghost her for a while until they need money or sex.
So pathetic.
I think it reinforces what a lot of us have been saying over the years about her past storytimes. I know there were those who believed every story was a lie but I always felt they were probably true, if not exaggerated.
Well I think, for the most part, many of the stories were true.
At the end of the day, despite her facade, Chantal is someone with very low self-confidence. It would not surprise me that she spent her entire teenage years, and her early 20s, seeking out validation by any means necessary - and yes, that includes putting out for nasty old men.
I think we're seeing firsthand how Chantal operated and the typical man she put up with when she was younger: gross losers who preyed on those with low self-esteem because they were easy lays.
It also syncs up with that message Gone Rogue posted that was shared about her past romantic experiences. They were no different back then than they are right now.
Nader might as well be that creeper who lived above Shannon that Chantal was screwing when she was underage.
The problem is that Chantal feels any level of sexual interaction = validation. She still hasn't comprehend that just having a partner, or sex, doesn't mean you're all that desirable. Plenty of awful degenerates can have relationships and fuck. It's not that hard.
But to Chantal, Nader is the exact type of guy she's used to getting - specifically, someone desperate enough to want to be with her (whatever the reasoning). In her teens, those guys were desperate enough to fuck around with a fat, underage loser who put out. Now, Nader is desperate enough to fuck around with a morbidly obese, unemployed loser.
It makes the Bibi saga all the more unique because there's no evidence, from the stories she's told us, or what we've seen post breakup, to suggest Chantal could ever catch that level or guy again. She really screwed the pooch there because Bibi was basically lightning in a bottle for her: an average looking dude who had a job and could tolerate her.
She'll never get that again. She's back to the same type of guys who dominated much or her younger years: losers who only prey on the insecure.
