So girls date, or don't, particular men based on the consensus of the room?
So regarding Dorothy; because we all know this is about Dorothy, the fact that she didn't want to date Lucas and the fact that Lucas's interactions with women are so infrequent, and he's so amazingly entitled, that he thinks buying a girl a pack of cigarettes and her not sleeping with him entitles him to justifiably whine and bitch for the next several weeks if not months.
Hell, he was still mentioning Lacey almost a year later, so I guess we'll get ready to hear a lot more about why Dorothy didn't end up with the perfect man, the best guy in spokane!
But yeah, how is someone whispering in your ear when they're not right next to you, lucas? He really needs to detail this background noise, voices on the wind thing, just like he always mentions people talking about agephobia, which is completely a delusion; the idea that people in the shelter were telling Dorothy to date Lucas is of course patently absurd.
Lucas's disassociation from reality strikes me as being actively dangerous, only held in check by his cowardice.
But as we've seen before, particularly last summer, Lucas eventually reaches a point where he feels so justified in his anger that he'll stalk down the street, swinging his gorilla arms with purpose and fury, screaming at buses and passersby about how greedy they are, because he can't get laid.
It's astonishing to me that it never occurs to Lucas how pathetic he comes across... he doesn't see anyone else in the world acting the way he does, and I know his narcissism is off the charts, but if he sees successful mating strategies all around him, and none of them behave the way he does, you would think he would at least occasionally doubt his own methods.
As far as I can tell, the closest he gets to that is accusing men of being crude and misogynist and then later trying on these characters where he talks aggressively and full of bravado, in very crude sexual terms, and with many many vulgarities.
He thinks that this is being a man. Speaking crudely about women's sexual organs, and being constantly vulgar to them and other men.
Of course, this is when he's not delving into all new depths of simp-dom, telling women that they're all buddhas, they're all "empathic", (you can tell which people Lucas currently likes when he compliments them with the same traits he associates with himself...This is the only way he's able to see the world, other than his tendency to break everything into binary dualities of good and bad, he's only able to compliment people by talking about their leftist views, their empathy, and their intelligence; he never sees any qualities present in anyone else that he doesn't find in himself) and they're all better than men, especially young men, who are uniquely immature, except for Lucas of course, who when he was in high school was the MOST mature guy, said maturity manifesting in the fact that he had no friends, he urinated on bushes, and he thinks he had girlfriends because he hugged a girl's shoulder at a bonfire once, to say nothing of the fact that his parents thought he was such a liability that when they caught him with beer, they essentially put him on in-home lockdown.
It strikes me that Myrna must have very quickly understood how dangerous Lucas was, or at the very least how big of an embarrassment he was to the family. Imagine what Lucas must have done within the home. Imagine the rants he must have subjected his parents and stepparents to, imagine the proximity of women he was related to, like his nieces and cousins, and the way Lucas would have felt entitled to them, and tried to sidle up to them.
It's long been my suspicion that something perverse is what provoked Lucas's parents to rather entirely disown him.... it's not a money issue; although they're not as rich as Lucas claims, his parents are more than comfortable enough to have taken care of him for the rest of their lives, and the fact that they let him so publicly remain homeless, shows that they obviously made the decision that interacting with Lucas was not worth it.
Lucas is so nasty about his own mother, calling her a bitch and mentioning that she was a pill-Popper. Lucas will never mention his own mental illness, but he hates his mother most pointedly for writing on her blog that he had schizoid tendencies, something he used to be comfortable admitting himself, until he decided to alter it to bipolar, with the parenthetical that it hasn't been proven and he doesn't really believe it.
And then he'll mention something that shows his delusion fully and openly, like suggesting that total strangers also hear commands in the air, and that he thinks these govern people's actions.
Actually think about this: Lucas thinks that there are command suggestions floating around in the air, which govern people's behavior.
He's long claimed to be an atheist, but it seems that the reality Lucas lives in is more magical than any religious belief, full of pious good and complete evil; a world where the hero Lucas is destined to eventually get his prize, and contrary ghosts whisper on the wind.
If you listen, you can hear those wind carried voices now:
"Luuuuucas is a looooooser. If you emptied evvvvvvery casiiiiiino in the world'ssssss blackjack tablesssss, it sssstill wouldnt beeee innn the cardssssss...."
