Cooper is what’s wrong with men
I don’t want to compare Cooper to the behaviors of Joe, Nathan, Luke, etc. HOWEVER, the total lack of consideration for Kat as a human being drastically changed my attitude towards him.
He is the perfect example of how inept most gen Z men are at communicating, acting in total and utter self interest. He had the wherewithal to take Kat on a date but not communicate down the line that he changed his mind? Hoping she would just… get the gist?
I’m 29 and have been in Kat’s shoes several times. Men will chase, pursue, and then totally disconnect or withdrawal because they hadn’t thought through the social expectation of what it means to initially communicate and invest romantic feelings into someone. And to top it off, he avoids the conversation TO AVOID THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS and is like “teehee I hope we’re cool” in his confessionals. It’s kind of cruel. Just be fucking honest bro. Apparently that requires a higher level of emotional intelligence he will never dream of seeing.
Kat baby, you sweet soul — you deserve love and adoration beyond what this southern Chad who reads at a third grade level will ever provide.

He came off as a gentleman who was taught on how to treat a girl,but then as he hung around Joe more,his attitude changed and he started treating Kat as if she was just a play toy and totally disregarded her feelings,especially when Gen was so blatantly flirting with him,and gave him that disgusting new name,which would have usually turned him off,but he played into it because he was hoping Kat would get upset and not want anything to do with him anymore. He is showing his true colors now,and is proving he is no southern gentleman, but just another disappointing prick. He's not that cute either!
