MAFS THREAD 10 where you will respect the forum and sit down. Take off your Anorak of Sulk and get your hands out their Uggs. For we shall wear our polo-necks of misery and janitor pyjamas of poetry.

The rest of the thread title

"For it's not easy to not get lipsed on the down low without someone getting lippy. Casper is still dying of cringe and Shitlid sees no way out. For we are all scrambling for our dignity, whilst watching the utter mockery"

It was a joint effort by us all.

I'd love to see Emma take on Alex. She'd stay calm and logical unlike Sasha and Polly.

Prediction - Holly will return, argue with Alex, storm off. Alex will argue with at least 2 other people. Caspar and Emma will make each other feel rubbish. Nafe will play theme tunes to his favourite cartoons in his head and occasionally say nice things to Lacey. There will be at least 2 eye-watering outfits. Gaston will embarrass Amy but give us a new thread title 😁

Spot on. They only thrive on people who are reactive. Sasha was understandably reactive but couldn't control herself when he went low. Considering her age, she's doing ok. I hope she just completely avoids him going forward.

All Ross needs to do is say to Sasha, I agree his behaviour is x, y,z and it's best we avoid him.
When Alex approaches him for chats or whatever 'bros only' shit, he just needs to tell Alex, no, I'm not going there Alex. I understand why Sasha was upset. Let's just leave it now and move on. End of.

That won't happen though.

That's not what Sasha wants, she wants her man to go all Daddy Ming on Alex.

@dapsnotplimsolls 🤣 yes she probably does want that. I have to admit I'd love to see daddy Ming rip him a new one. He needs a few daddy Mings in his Sphere right now.

Woah, the thread really exploded today whilst I was at work.

Can you pls make a new one?

You deserve a bonus payment for all your MAFS work!

Goes off to Google agglutination!

But he was laughing in her face when she said she was above him which is why she said that. I agree she didn’t say the full story but the above him comment was because of how he was behaving towards her.

It seems Sasha giving him the finger and saying "fuck you" has been applauded here, if it had been the other way round it would've been condemned.?
Now she's getting Ross to back her up without the whole story, so of course Alex is going to be on the defensive.
I'd rather face Alex in a argument than be bullied by the Polly, Holly , Sacha and Richelle collective.

Just watched last night’s. I think Sasha is bloody awful. If a man behaved like she does, there’d be an outcry. Aggressive, possessive, irrational and confrontational. The guy she’s with needs to run.

I can’t see why Alex is so lambasted either. Massive double standards.

Nah, they'll all be fine and end up on CelebZ (sic) Go Dating!* 🤣

*(Emphasis on the Z!)

There's none so blind as them that cannot see

Are we all watching the same programme here? Just checking I haven't been lobotomised and don't realise it.

They're all massively flawed and for the most part incredibly immature.

Alex however is god damn terrifying. I will bet my bottom dollar he's left a trail of at least 2 traumatised women in his wake. I'm sure even the charity Refuge commented on him and his behaviour towards women in the media. And his behaviour is systematically concerning around females. This cannot be compared to Sasha and her somewhat immature ' reactive ' response.

Polpot and Holly are horrible bullies to other women. I'm not scared of them. Alex I absolutely would be if he was anyway involved in my life, in my sphere or anyone I knew. It's not about double standards, it's about realistically understanding the threat level. Alex takes the crown - if we can get it over his gigantic forehead that is.

I suspect that isn't why it used to be common usage.

Alex is a simmering ball of misogynistic rage. Anyone who has been in an abusive relationship can see all the tropes.

He’s only happy when he’s being agreed with. It’s completely irresponsible to put him on TV and pretend his behavior is not problematic.

I think that's a different one which I actually hate more

@JaneJeffer please pass me the abandon thread button

I would have laughed in her face too if someone told me they were above me. And when you say laughed in her face he was on the other side of the room.

By the way, I am not pro- Alex, but I really hate when people distort the truth (not aiming this at you, by the way). That's what feels like gaslighting. Just because we don't like him doesn't mean we have to condone the awful behaviour of others.

@VictoriaSpungecake what's your agenda?

Low to me is a white woman telling a black man that she is above him. And her friend asking him if she is speaking Swahili.*

*Other older people have said that the phrase was in common usage a while ago, but I have never heard someone of Polly's age use it. So why did that pop into her brain?

Why have the producers focused on Alex when Ryan was obviously indulging in shitty behaviour behind the scenes. Everyone is afraid of Alex, but everyone was swooning over Ryan. Most abuse happens behind closed doors. We don't know who any of these people are because we only know what the shows editors want us to know/see.

The new thread has been made. My brain is a bit fried after the day that I have had so it is what it is. My phone is refusing to paste the link to it but it's on the main page.

Thanks Dillite!

everyone was swooning over Ryan
Untrue. I didn't swoon once.
