I also feel like Lawrence should have better sense for someone who has been with his girl for that long. His spider senses should be tingling like crazy. shyt he should've responded to that text and pretended to be Issa.

I thought he was going to either reply or Daniel was going to send another message basically confirming that they had sex.

This episode was cool, but basically took most of the momentum from the last episode away. Can't completely criticize it until I see it play out, but having Issa act weird as fukk all episode should have made dude at least a little suspicious . It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

What I like about this show is they film in the middle class black areas. I can't think of any other show/movie that films exclusively in the middle class black areas, its always the fukking hood. They're filming in baldwin hills, leimart park, mid wilshire near the black comedy shows, ladera. I see chenshaw mall up in there. real nice to see home.

Lawerence, please dump issa, That is all.

And I was with Molly (im never with her) on letting ole dude go. They were actually on the path to something long term and if that is something that bothered her, and she couldn't get over it, then she did the NON DESPERATE thing and let him go.

She would have looked hella desperate trying to over look it, just so she could finally have a man, when she wasn't truly happy.

:russ:

AND?.......

How can a man call himself straight and let another man give them head? If it wasn't for him he definitely shouldn't of told Molly that :dead:

A lot of dl cats are exposing themselves in this thread :scust:

Fa real, fa real. If you can even get hard in an intimate setting with another man, you're gay as fukk. No truly straight man fails to understand this concept/logic.

Off topic: Wait so females can eat p*ssy all day and no one bats an eye but the minute a man has one curious moment with a male friend he forever gay? do you understand how backward your logic is?

Just go suck a dikk already :scust:

I feel dudes saying he should dump Issa but is keeping her and forever having the upperhand an option? He even has a hall pass at this point. I know homegirl at the bank is looking right but what it would be like long-term is a question mark. He can't just move on to some rebound chic.
Also, his finances currently aren't the best. could be a heavy lift to dump Issa.

Show would be so much better without all this bullshyt infidelity

Nah, I disagree.... It's real life

Especially showing the aftermath

You think it was just a one time mistake, but it never works out that way. You be lowkey lusting after someone on the side looking at your main sideways. Then you cheat and realize no matter how good it was it's never really worth it.

I'm also glad the female is the one being unfaithful. Especially after everybody was so quick to shyt on Lawrence and his depiction on the show after the 1st 2 episodes...

I'm actually anticipating this next episode. It's always interesting to see how people handles knowing your spouse is cheating before they know that you know about it.

Awwww man, The play had me rolling bruh.. The comedy on this show is subtle but on point. Glad it got renewed. Can't wait to see where this show and Atlanta goes with their 2nd seasons

Nah, that sounds good in theory, but its really Issa that would have the upper hand. If he lets her get away with it... then that means he MIGHT let her get away with it again.

getting a hall pass would only further sully the relationship more and is a lose lose for the relationship. If he fukks someone, now issa has to wonder if one time will be enough (it might wake his savage up), if he doesn't, well he looks stupid.

There's no way around it, she must be punished or Lawrence will look weak to her (Shes already alluded to such by calling him "gay straight", saying she wanted her back blown out) and she might not learn anything in the long run.

I don't know if it's just me but I don't really take this show or it's writing too seriously. The only really unrealistic part to me is when homie told ol' girl he let his friend suck him off. There's no man on earth who would admit some shyt like that to a chick he doesn't really know. The leadup to it just didn't feel realistic. Went from "I streaked at a Best Western" to "I fukked my married boss" to "I let my friend suck me off... once." It would have made more sense for her to find out on accident.

I also feel like Lawrence should have better sense for someone who has been with his girl for that long. His spider senses should be tingling like crazy. shyt he should've responded to that text and pretended to be Issa.

I actually, generally, like the writing on the show. The only terrible piece was all the characters ignoring the fact that they could just message the YouTube uploadloader directly instead of hoping the two people they knew at that crowded venue would know the person; that was a clear plot device to get them to reconnect. I agree that dude just admitting that felt off, but I'd imagine you, like I, would never have had the homo encounter with your boy to begin with, so how can we truly say how someone who would do that would share this news with a chick he's pursuing? Perhaps, @Uncle Kendrick can shed some light here, how do you let women know you've sucked a dikk or two in your past?:lupe:

I thought the dialogue between her friends afterwards was pretty good, especially when one of them pointed out that if it was a white dude, she would have just chalked it up to the game. Great point, cuz if it was a white dude, I wouldn't have felt the reveal felt off either.


Regarding Lawrence, I think when you consider all that's going on with him and how he's bouncing back it's easy to see how he could be missing the signs. Looks like he's in for an awakening before the season's end tho :whoo:

You're proving my argument how can you condemn him in one breath but be completely open to it in another? You either against it or you for it there's no in-between. Also keep in mind he's not attracted to men at all and it happened only one time in college while under the influence of alcohol.
Life is full of double standards
Women can hit men but not vise versa

Ppl say sexuality is fluid but it doesn't matter what ppl say
It only matters how your target demo will react if you tell them the truth

Ppl wanna do all this textbook shyt when it comes to labels when it won't work that way in the real world

Try that shyt that Molly's nikka did...and you can feel good saying I'm straight as your girl leaves you while you cry into a pillow
