Love Island Thread 6 - Maura’s nether report, wet with a chance of popsicles

[RagingWhoreBag]

Fill up the other one first!

Sagradafamiliar totally get where you are coming from re diagnosing Lucie.

Dont think most of us have though. It's not wrong to mention it at all though in my opinion.

My son has aspergers and acts, in some ways like Lucie. That doesnt mean Lucie must have aspergers, however I can understand her. Where as a lot of people are saying she is playing a game. I'm having observed my son acting in ways Lucies does, I can totally believe she isnt flirting and just wanting time on her own and gets on with certain people better. These people happen to be men.

I dont believe she must have aspergers, but so many people are saying she is manipulative or game playing or went after Amy or pretends she doesnt know what she is doing.

I have used a few comparisons, because I can understand her actions in a different context to that. Not just from my son, but from my own experiences when I was that age.

Imo, her reactions are just fine. There is no normal because normal doesnt actually exist.

People can recognise her reactions from their own personal experience with aspergers, without diagnosing her.

Many people wont accept her reactions are just fine, they are her own, they dont hurt anybody, and that's ok.

So yes, dont diagnose but I dont thinks have.

In previous years they have had to ditch one person from each couple so I think Joe and Elmer will be going ! 👍

So joe or Anton and Elma or Lucie ummm that will be good the girls will ditch Lucie though not Elma I think

And then all the people complaining about why can’t men have female friends will see why, if they find each other attractive it’s never ‘just friends’.

I dont think that's true. One of my Male best friends is hot. I want him to go on love island, he looks like Adam from last year. Friends for 8 years and not even one suggestive text or inappropriate converstation.

Yes, I think a lot of people are under estimating lucie. With th whole tommy is like a big brother to her, she just doesn't like this bunch of girls narrative.

I think it's a lot simpler and is exactly what it says on the tin. She fancies tommy and that's why she spends as much as her time with him and not with the girls. And it is him as opposed to thr boys.

And if you notice it's often her going over to him, sitting on his bed, curled up by his bean bag, whispering in his ear first. He does come over to her, but no where near as many times as she approaches him.

I'd bet we will see her and joe break up, her get with tommy, her cry that it's love island and she's there to find someone. I really think that's where this is going, or where she's taking it.

She just needs joe to dump her so she doesn't look like the bad guy. And why she was gutted last night he'd picked her again.

Ohhh I can remember exactly what the text said. Did it say one couple will go home? Or 2 people?

Someone saying "no problem, it's OK" or "it's FINE" is quite different to saying "I just want to draw a line under it, I don't want it to be an issue".

"It's OK" can be passive-aggressively accepting a situation but not really accepting it. Here Amy was the one to come forward and say she wants it to be squashed, but then bitches about Lucie whenever she can. That's just vile behaviour.

and it's highly immature to not wish to get to know or spend time with the girls for no other reason than the fact they are female.

But it isn’t because they are female!!! It’s because they are a bitchy girl gang. Lucie gets on fine with Maura. She is a girl!

Coercive control all over. I'm tempted to watch a few bits with my girls so they can learn to see it 'IRL'.

Actually, it's not just them. Perhaps I've been lucky (or just never noticed it) in that I've never actually seen behaviour like that in real life, either in my own relationships or that of friends.

It honestly did come as a shock to me to see a man behaving like that.

It's made me want to re-evaluate my memories to see if I simply failed to pick up on stuff like this in the past or if I was just lucky and never came across it.

I think the wording was the bottom 2 couples will be at risk! It was definitely vague enough to do there is definitely another twist and Caroline is going back over which fits with an islander choosing twist.

Shequakes yeah, I don’t believe that it NEVER happens, but I think in many cases people who profess to be just friends are actually deluding themselves (or their OH)

I always think of the line in When Harry Met Sally before the clip I posted above. She says “ah so you CAN be friends with a woman you don’t find attractive”, he replies “nah, you pretty much want to nail them too”!

It’s because they are a bitchy girl gang

I'm not sure, I think molly, Anna, Yewande etc would be more than happy to be friends with lucie.

I strongly suspect the issue is two fold. One is Amy and two she wants to spend all her time with tommy and joe. More so tommy now.

Just gonna leave this here ‘cause it made me

See, I have Aspergers & I totally understand how Lucie feels when people tell her everything's fine but it isn't. I expect people to say what they mean and mean what they say. It's confusing when people just expect me to know what they are hinting at.

Not everyone has autism. Fgs.

Analysing the different ways in which people interact socially is one of the reasons I love watching this programme.

Me too, I also don’t think anyone should be doing any diagnosing but nothing wrong with discussion.
Editors of this show have a scary amount of responsibility as most of these young people are fragile.

It doesn't matter whether she has autism or not! I'm saying nobody deserves to be bullied because they're socially different

I was just giving my opinion from what I have seen. It's an intense environment and people react differently.

I know quite a few men that say they wish their girlfriends/girls they like would stop hinting at things and just say it as it is, because they don't pick up hints

I don't think they're all autistic. Having a couple traits in common with autistic people does not automatically mean you have it...

No, but that's not even the point is it @FieldsOfWheat?

It seems no one can talk about anything on this thread anymore without someone being offended. Someone made a comment yesterday about Lucie being special which I thought was out of order but the other comments are just people noticing things from experience

Oh first look is up.

Hilarious!

I loved when Maura was offered a drink and she said 'I am so thirsty'.

Just checking in for later. Glad Maura hasn't gone. Hope Joe and Lucie leave tonight as I'm not fussed with either of them.

Just seen first look.Maura is getting a taste of her own medicine by Elma
