Chris doesn't like having to be Barb's nurse. And honestly, that's not really an unreasonable position. But the main reason Chris was complaining to Coleslaw was because Coleslaw got married before Chris got a girlfriend.

Yup, Coleslaw's completed his love quest, so he should go back home now and let Chris get on with his.

It really betrays how child-like his thinking is. A lot of movies and other stories usually end with a brand new relationship, but nothing after that. We don't see Han Solo and Leia getting an apartment together, arguing about the bills, or just being together and growing their relationship.

Chris thinks that getting a girlfriend is the end of the quest, when really it's only the end in superficial stories. Deeper tales usually involve what happens during the relationship, or even how it ends.

Well therein lies the problem. Chris illogically assumes a relationship will make his problems all better, despite the fact that he has no idea or personal experience of what a relationship is actually like, or even what it is.

Say Chris got a girlfriend, and they were together for a while, and then she decided to break up with him. Can you imagine the shitstorm we'd see from him? If you thought Mike Snyder and Megan were his ultimate enemies, can you imagine just how hateful and vengeful he'd get toward a girl who dared to dump him?

We can only pray Chris doesn't come into contact with High Fidelity.

This is why I actually miss the Golden Era chats more than the videos... I would love to have Chris in a conversation, explaining exactly what he thinks a girlfriend will do for him. If we had someone talking to him, they could explain that relationships aren't the one-way street Chris thinks they are, and that a girl can't do anything for Chris that he can't do for himself, if he wants to try.

Then Chris would fail to understand any of it.

Then there would be lulz.

For sure. And that's completely backed by Chris himself. His biggest troubles are that he's broke, lonely and lives in a trash-heap, so his sweetheart must have a good paying job and be organized. His lack of any sort of personality requirements (ie: kind, good with animals or children, nerdy, great sense of humor, humility, etc...) is absolutely glaring.

It's usually pretty hard for most people to break up without either or both party being vilified by the other in some way, but Chris would jack that up past even 11, all the way to 12. I see no-contact court orders, and most likely some more time loudly singing TV show theme songs in a cell for Chris.


EDIT: to be fair though, some of that is Chris just being Chris, and some of it is just that he's never really been in a relationship before. Most of us learn what we want by experiencing what we don't want. I'm kind of a home-body. I love reading and sitting by fires, and long conversations over coffee into the wee-hours. I once dated an adrenaline junkie who preferred climbing and jumping off of things to sitting still with me. That went nowhere fast, even though we were both extremely attracted to one another.

So the only way to know that i don't want to date a thrill-seeker is because i've dated one and learned that it's no good for me. Chris has absolutely no idea what a relationship is at all or what kind he would even want to be in. At his age, girls are getting to the point where they want a guy who knows himself and what he wants like that.

Well, people have tried and tried to point out that a relationship needs work from both partners. Usually Chris just blathers his "I bring love and understanding and I'm a good listener" nonsense, as if those things are bonuses instead of basic prerequisites that should be expected of any partner.

As for a girl doing things for him he can't do for himself? We don't even know exactly what he's thinking. The closest guess I can make is that he believes he'll just magically be happy all the time, like, his house could blow away in a storm and his PS3 could get run over by an autistic driving a car and he'd still go "well I have my sweetheart" and smile. He seems to think that in a "true" relationship, the partners never get fed up with each other or fight about anything.

Put another way... he's basically saying his current life is fucked up, so he'd rather abandon it and be given a new one, then do work on the current one. He wants to delete the old save file and wait for a girl to give him an Action Replay.

I was gonna go with 500 Days of Summer. Then again he'd probably take away that the movie is anti-Jew or some such shit.

Since Chris can't ask friends for referrals, it's not to unlikely he'll get screwed by a shitty contractor. Lots of smarter people get fucked by a crooked contractor, and Chris just looks like a perfect sucker.

Can you imagine a plumber, electrician, or roofer trying to get in that place? And yeah, anything having anything to do with maintenance would break Chris. Problems like that aren't static; they spread out.

Disturbingly enough, I don't think these are his biggest troubles.

There's also the fact that he brings none of these things anyway.

Yeah, he's bored with playing "The life and times of Christian Weston Chandler" so he wants to move onto the sequel, with shinier graphics, a more refined tutorial system and an easier difficulty. Unfortunately, Nintendo are being jerks and refusing to make the new game.

Chris will only even attempt to be honest and faithful when it isn't difficult to do so.

The reason we as a society value those qualities is because people do them when it is difficult, when they are tempted to do something easy instead of what is right but still do right anyway. Chris doesn't get this... to put it in terms he'd understand, we reward people with an S rank when those people earn it by playing the level perfectly. Chris seems to think he deserves to get an S rank when he just does the bare minimum to scrape by with a D rank.

Of course not, but in his opinion that's what his biggest troubles are. (that and the dang trolls ruining his once good name.)
 
I wouldn't say he doesn't spend a lot on his diet. Eating out and buying frozen dinners is a lot more expensive than cooking relatively healthy food for yourself. He eats the quintessential college guy/bachelor diet.

Words cannot describe how much I want to see that.
 
She'd just say she's going to get some food, and never return.

Chris would be all "My sweetheart went to da mick-dees to get some apple dippas, and hasn't returned in greater that 6 months. I bet traffic is bad."

I remember I read somewhere that Chris once bought a PS3 game but only played it for a few minutes/hours and then that's it. What's that game again?

I dont know about that, but apparently, he has occasionally purchased DLC for games he doesnt even have.

Nuff said.

(By the way, is that even possible on Ps3? On Steam, I tried once to purchase a game+DLC on the same transaction and Steam wouldnt let me buy the DLC until the game was installed...)

That may very well be the only part of his life that could be described as quintessential with regards to being a bachelor.

Yeah, it makes no distinction between what it is you're buying and treats every transaction as separate, in the description it'll usually have a disclaimer stating that the original game is required to play it.

Some games even have DLC available before the game comes out so it's there when you get it.

Ah, found it. Spent $10 on Bioshock, played for a while, then gave up.

He did not like da baybee killing and lack of pretty white women.
