"Lisa....please girlfriend...listen to your friends!"
Posted by HappyDayz on 08-18-03 at 11:11 AM
Is it becoming obvious to anyone else why she says she has a track record of picking the wrong guys? For the most part, she's doing it again. Laura and Kim wave the flag when they spot something, and Lisa just blows it off.....usually saying something like "I like you, don't listen to her". Hello! The whole reason they are there is to point out the potential problems! I think Lisa is terrific, but when she does this, I want to throw something at the tv (lol, just like I would when my best friend...who also makes bad choices in men...does the same things). Usually Laura and Kim are dead on with their assessment (except Kim is sometimes a little too easy on them)! Maybe Lisa's just being nice, trying to keep the guys from getting their feelings too hurt (after all, she has at least one more date with each of them after each show...she probably doesn't want a lot more crying to contend with, she has Robert for that). I am concerned that she seems to have blinders on sometimes.

It IS that she has to keep dating them, like it or not. She has never said anything bad about anyone until this past week's show, where she let Ken and Robert know her displeasure... mostly stemming from Scott's ouster.

She has to "go the distance" with at least some of these guys... she ain't gonna burn bridges before they're crossed for the last time.

Just from what I've seen, the problem with keeping a man might not be a problem where Lisa or the guy is concerned. It looks like it may lie with the attitudes and behavior of her so called friends.

I never understood how Lisa can have a track record with the "wrong guys". If you look at her bio, her longest relationship was *6 years*!! And she's only 25! How many "wrong guys" could their possibly be in the timespan of when she was single?

I think the secret isn't that she's a bad judge of character, just inexperienced. Dating your significant other is a lot different from dating as a single person hoping to find a significant other imho...

You know...before I got really into this show, I read that in her bio (6 yr relationship)...and my husband and I were joking about it....how could you have a bad track record if you only had ONE relationship. However, in an interview I read somewhere a bit later, Lisa said it was an off and on relationship for six years, so I take it that she did date others during that time and that was not the only relationship she had.

I agree with you that it is more inexperience than bad judge of character....she has seemed to fall for some pretty bad lines during this show. Someone else phrased it very well on this board (Swami, I think) by referring to it as a gullible innocence.
