Anyone else can't stand Gus? (Spoiler)


Guy was a nice guy but kind of Dorky. He falls for Mickey and things are crazy in the beginning but eventually they work out. Than when Mickey finally shows some interest and she gave him enough chances he backs off. She made attempt after attempt but rather cheat on Mickey with the blonde while they were dating and had no care about it. He pretty much deletes Mickey from his life and when gets dumped takes Mickey back out of desperation.

reply

He didn't "cheat" on Mickey b/c they were not officially together. Also, Mickey was rude to him on several occasions, which led to him backing off.

Also, he didn't get "dumped" by Heidi. They were also not officially together.

The thread above yours is called Hate Gus so I don't think you're alone

reply

I felt like Gus was over his head. Maybe I see it differently as a guy but to be he came off as a real *beep* in the end.

reply

Maybe the writers want us to hate him... He is obnoxious and annoying. Its more annoying to see hot girls want him when we all know in real life it would never happen for him.

I think this has more to do with people disliking Gus than anything.

I'm a nerd with an attractive girlfriend so I'm not annoyed by this at all.

reply

I don't think it's unbelievable because he's a nerd. It's unbelievable because he's an a-hole.

reply

How do you feel about Mickey?

reply

Pretty much everyone arbitrarily hates Gus when Mickey is the actual harmful, toxic, self-important person. I realize she's got addiction issues and probably a Borderline Personality Disorder, but that doesn't give her a free pass to act like she does. She can't be forgiven because she found someon she genuinely cared for, when she had absolutely no business being romantically involved without first tending to her own care.

I couldn't agree with you more. It boggles my mind that people are so anti-Gus and Mickey gets a free pass. She's awful to Gus. If Gus did half the things to Mickey that she did to him that people would hate him 10 times more.

I think it really all comes down to looks. "We" tolerate Mickey's behavior b/c she's smoking hot. Gus, not so much. It's like that in real life too. "Hotter" people get away with more.

Dude, how many times are you going to post about this? Seriously. You are taking this WAY too personally.

reply

It's a discussion board. Get over it. I'm assuming you disagree what what I said since you have a problem with it.

reply

I can't stand either of them for different reasons.

reply

Gus is a douche. Who sleeps with two different women in less than like 12 hours? I can't stand him.

reply

I'd have sex with 12 girls in 12 hours if it were possible.

reply

I'd also have gotten with the two sisters.

You are either female or a guy who is blinded by Mickey's looks.

Gus did nothing wrong (in this ONE scenario).

1. They weren't in a relationship. So that right there trumps anything you say on the matter.

2. He just had a bad date with her. She didn't enjoy their sex and said she wasn't going to his lame party b/c it sounded stupid. She also didn't want to go have breakfast with him. So Gus had every right to leave her house that day thinking "That went terrible. She's not into me at all."

And that was after she had already tried to pawn him off on her roommate.

If anyone was the douche it was Mickey.



reply

i think gus is negative thinking to everyone, so rude, he's mouth rude like mickey, why he's talking to 12 year old girl like that , is he doesnt have little sister, or little cousin, he's doesnt have empathy, grown up man, gus is match with mickey, both are rude, mickey is rude , emotional to everyone she's talking, if he's can control emotional actually he can a get a job

reply

Yeah hes a little *beep*


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

reply

Sleeping with Heidi made it very difficult to like Gus at all.

He didn't even have a bad first date with Mickey, he was very lustful of her and slept with her twice on the first date, yet the Magic Castle was a dealbreaker for him, very mature.

He comes across as selfish, bitter and quite damaging to Mickey who for all her many faults, she still has enough going for her that you wish she gets it together and finds her happiness.


reply

I think you are focusing on the wrong things. Yeah, he got laid twice, but it was an awful date. She didn't enjoy the magic show. She didn't enjoy the sex. She didn't want to go to breakfast with him the following morning. And she didn't want to go to his lame party b/c it sounded "stupid".

Only a fool would walk away from that date thinking it was a success.
