Lawrence is like the epitome of messy.
Pretty much. He doesn't care about any of these other women, he's just using them to fill a void bc he misses Issa but is mad at her.

My TL still recovering from the fallout of last Sunday lmao
This isn't a thing that happened. Lmfao. I've never seen a show that so many people comment on but clearly haven't actually watched. Because that didn't happen.
This is the kind of thinking the gets dudes fucked up.
The same issues that made him rush into a "thing" with Tasha are still there now. It's no accident that he makes out with Aparna on the same night he gets into a shouting match with Issa, literally hours later.
I don't know about you, but "I'm pissed at my ex right now!" aren't usually emotions that lead to a stable relationship.
Aparna is a cool chick, but Lawrence ain't ready for her.
EDIT: And now people are saying Lawrence should quit the job it took him years to find, just so he can be with a girl he JUST met.
LOL, I'm telling you...
Hehehe first time I have agreed with you. You make a fair point.

I don't know if he will be fired, but there will definitely be work drama.
Right, because saying no to her was that hard. I've clearly watched the show so no clue what you're on. If you disagree just say that.

Dick sucking gaf please explain why Issa was mad she caught a shot to the face when she was holding the D and could have turned that bih to the side? Also, Lawrence...what the entire fuck with that +1 to an intimate dinner party? Dro...this is bad poly etiquette and I solidified what twitter been saying all along, that ninja creepin. Molly can't have shit and just enjoy it. She coulda had that jack skellington scoop through the holidays, but I can already feel her stage 5 clinger ways cranking up. Errbody a mess and I cannot WAIT until Sunday.

I don't even understand why women like Dro. He's just lightskin and tall with 3c hair. Nigga looks like one of the Monstars from NBA Jam.
This definitely was a thing, anyone whose has been in either Issa or Lawrence position knows it.
This is furthered by the fact when he tells Aparna he has to cancel their thing, he says it's because of a "thing" seconds later saying that thing was a dinner thing but that his ex was going to be there.
When he talks to Issa outside, he immediately tries to apologize saying he didn't know blah blah blah. Which is absolutely BS, unless we're all going to sit here and say Lawrence is remedial and doesn't understand social cues at all and truly didn't know bringing Aparna would be a bad look. You brought your new girl (who isn't even actually your girl) to a shindig thrown by your ex's friend (keep in mind Tiffany not really Lawrence's friend) knowing your ex is going to be there...
And the fact he still is that angry and it's been like what? 3-5 months, in which immediately after blowing up makes out with Aparna, which is the samething he did with Tasha.
I don't know it's really hard to argue that Issa isn't on Lawrence's mind and he's still consumed by her and that decides his every action, especially actions that involve women.

I think Lawrence was feeling ... Insecure ... about Daniel possibly being there and didnt want to show up to the dinner alone. Issas friend was throwing the party, but the party was for his friend, Derek (as much as anything Tiffany does could truly be for someone else).
I dont think he was being petty (Issa would have had a date there if she wasnt a failure in the hoe game), but I think it was driven by not being over Issa.

Well she invited herself, yeah he could have said no but I suppose he thought it would be cool for her to come since the pic on FB implied that Daniel was hanging out with Issa and her friends. Why would she mind?
And he only really got angry with Issa because she was being bitchy when he came outside to check on her.
It's a little here and there. Double standards are the name of the game.
She offered him a way out as Lawrence was giving vibes about not wanting to go to the party. As it turned out, things went ok for Lawrence as painful as it was, he finally sort of got a chance to talk to Issa.
Sounds like a bit of a false equivalency imo, at least when I think of how these convos usually go on the men's side. Not that anyone should be forced to do anything they don't want to, but I'm hip as to why men tend to catch more heat for this. Whereas this show was bringing up the insecurities of black women.
I'm just fuckin around
When I talk to dudes bout goin down, LGBT or not, it's one of two answers, either they like it or they do it to get somethin in return
But Twitter was a bit quiet regarding that convo during last weeks episode
And if it was niggas talkin bout they don't wanna eat pussy, Twitter would be ablaze still
I mean, Twitter gonna Twitter, but Insecure be out here, bringing up good points about how why black women feel awkward/reluctant about doing it.
Meanwhile the convos I've had in the past with other guys about the subject are summed up as:
Their arguments tend to have little to no nuance. And that seems to be a common sentiment, with men just simply not wanting to do it for superficial reasons, so I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter reacted differently. And then of course the whole matter of reciprocation. Twitter would roast the shit out of Daniel if he ever said something like that after that scene.
That said, I agree with the likelihood of people on Twitter not giving a shit, even if the guy in question submits a damn thesis as to why they don't eat pussy lmao
Cuz Kelli be throwin hella shade at the appropriate times

Can I just say i'm sick and tired of Molly's shit? She that girl everyone knows that isn't happy unless there is something in her life making her miserable. That's why she fucking with Dro - she knows she can't have him and worrying about it gets her off. Same reason she wasn't feeling that stable dude that she ditched at the party*, she's not interested in a no drama relationship. I can't take anymore of Molly's long "woe is me" looks into the camera.
*Did anybody find it weird that when she got pissed at the news her dad cheated that dude didn't even try to console her? He just let another dude walk off with her. He had to have known she wasn't feeling him.

That was him peacing out on the drama. She couldn't even remember what he did for a living.
Its pretty much always at the exact moment shade should be thrown without the audience even realizing it.
Hahaha lol.

I only really judge her for how she treated Jared, the rest of dudes, they may not have been the best decision, but I understood why. With Jared she was just tripping though.
Outside of the parents thing (again, understandable) she hasn't really been looking for sympathy. With Dro it was like, I know this isn't great, but I'm into it and now she's not anymore. It's not like she went to Issa's or that older dude's doorstep to cry about it.
Lmao so true. He was into Molly, but he's a smart dude, he knew they weren't really that close yet. At least not like, "I should be the one to console you after you found out your childhood was a lie" close.
I mean Aparna already slept with the red headed dude on the team and they seem chill. Not saying it's not possible but I don't see too much fallout coming from a couple week/month relationship.

So its only been a month not a few months like people have been assuming.
No wonder everyone's on pins and needles, Issa and Lawrence haven't processed shit.
Thats weird, I coulda sworn they said its been a few months. Unless it means that this finale takes place over a month.

That synopsis quote is being misread. It's not saying it's only been a month since the breakup, only that this season has only spanned a month or the finale spans a month
Nah, Issa says its been a couple of months since the break up at the start of season 2.
I think the finale is either gonna take place over a month or that what we've seen in the season has only been a month.

Hope I still have power in 12 hours. Stupid hurricane.
Stay safe.
Anyways, I predict Lawrence will ask Issa if she wants to move in with him since her house is trashed and she most likely won't be able to keep up with the rent increase.
I predict season 3 will just be more ex-shenanigans dialed up to 11 if they're roomies again.
Molly about to murder Dro.
MikeBreezy92
Member
Yeah that seems more likely but Molly may move on to greener pastures.
Yeah...
With Issa's rent increase being telegraphed since episode one and Lawrence getting his own (two bedroom) apartment being his main plot thread, the writers have definitely laid the groundwork for Issa to move in with Lawrence.
...still, I hope the show doesn't go there. Because that would just be fucked.
And if they DO go there, I hope the friends cut them the fuck off. Because you know what I would want none of? THAT.

Predictions:
Lawrence is going to find out he's only at his job because his company needs someone Black there for Diversity purposes.
Issa is going to have some blowback over the Mexicans not being included into her study group.
Molly is going to find out that Dro ain't shit and she's just a side piece to a cheater. I think she will probably move to Chicago too.

crossing my fingers for that one.
It's not just you. There isn't really a good guy. Except for Kelli. She's just funny AF.

I like these characters because they're messy. The ones in stable relationships are the least interesting. I tune in wondering how they're gonna fuck up even more this week. Then when they have a glimpse at happiness, I tune in to see how they fuck it up.
This is me.
Allonym
There should be more tampons in gaming
What character from this or last season is in a stable relationship? Dro and Candice perhaps have the closest resemblance to that but I don't think I'd call them stable.
Idk how anyone can be team Issa though. You can't cheat and be mad and you do people dirty and then blow it all out of proportion when that same dude nuts in your face. Her and Molly are both stupid. You want to act like a hoe, it's not outside the realm of possibility that you'll be treated as one.
This brings me to Molly. Molly had something good with Jared and fucked that up and found ways of faulting a well to do person who liked her. Like what is Dro's profession? Jared had his own spot, a stable job at Enterprise but when she found someone who had all that she thought she was looking for she didn't really care for those things.
Personally I think both Molly and Issa are unlikable people at times and Daniel and Lawrence are more likable people in general.
I'm hoping he doesn't offer Issa a place to stay.
