@Venaldre That’s a really interesting take, and even though I try to keep it in mind, I still find it kind of regressive in the end. Acting like a woman is “old” the moment she hits 30 is just… come on, seriously?
The thing is, it’s not just about her trying new things with the ML or whatever — I actually don’t mind that part. What throws me off is everything else. Her behavior feels childish and inconsistent, and at the same time, I couldn’t even tell you what her personality is. Like, sure, she’s resilient. Cool. But that’s the kind of female character men used to write thirty years ago.
She doesn’t really have much introspection, and when she does, it’s just weird. She keeps saying the ML looks like a kid, treats him like one, even though he really doesn’t give off that vibe at all — and then she sleeps with him right after??
That being said, I totally get where you’re coming from. I guess for me, it just didn’t go deep enough to be convincing
