So I started reading over my notes, and was suddenly reminded of a point that really just bothered me. Right after Ben is rejected by the 80+ date, his friend goes on and tells him he's sorry. Now, I was kinda hoping for something more supportive, but his "supportiveness" ends up being more of a bragging/blaming rant.
His friend goes on about how "[Ben's] an adult now, [and] need[s]to fix [his] score”. He then goes on to remind Ben of how he and his wife came to be 90+, because they knew EXACTLY WHAT WAS RIGHT and waited to date and WORKED THEIR WAY UP TO THE TOP and NOW THEY SHOVE IT ALL IN HIS FACE.
Like, thanks dude, I totally need to know how great you are now. It's nice to know that even though I've worked my butt off for this job, I can't get it because apparently I DIDN'T WORK MY WAY UP TO THE TOP so now I suck because my last romantic relationship failed. Yeah, it's all my fault. Thanks for reminding me, man.
IT'S LIKE RACISM/CLASSISM/OTHER ISMS BUT WITH SCORES AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD UUUUUUUUUUGH
(Sorry for that, it just got me kind of riled up D: )
Yeah, Ben's friend is literally the worst. After all of the rude things he says to Ben, I don't know why Ben is still friends with him. I was really hoping for some final seen where Ben would just give him a piece of his mind, but unfortunately this didn't happen. The interesting thing about the scores in relation to the isms, is what people can do to get them, and this to the question: is there anything you can do to improve your "score" in real life? How? Would you do them? Are they worth it?
