You forget this is the guy that told her she was like all women, exaggerating and making a fuss over nothing, when she bent over in pain after she was hit by the ball at that soccer game? The bastard deserves what he gets.
I didn't say he wasn't clueless.
He obviously confused "bad boy" with "dickhead" when he was trying to win her heart.
Yeah, confusion is a human mistake, after all... Like how just now, Yeo confused "rejecting him" with "being a cold bitch to him", too. ...But everyone can make a mistake, right?
...Sorry, just trying to make a point. I think his attitude is not harmless not only because he's a grown-up man who should already know better, but because he was her superior at the office, which means his verbal abusement wasn't just mysogyny, but also an abuse of power. Guys like that, so blind to their situations they themselves generate, and to everything around them, need a wake up call to realize the consequences of the way they treat others.
Umm...
I believe you are the one who is confused.
She didn't merely reject him, she went above and beyond to be cruel.
Did you miss the part where she told him she valued her lipstick more than his life?
For as mean as he was to her, regardless of what his motivation actually was, she paid him back with interest.
When he finally opens up about his true feelings and is in the process of proposing to her, she cuts his soul to ribbons by telling him she'd let him drown in order to save an empty pop can.
Yeah, sorry, but you failed to make your point.
Do you think women's mission in life is to act the part of the psychologist or the all-understanding mother to every asshole they meet in their life? We're not talking about a child, we're talking about a 40-year-old man, which means he's at least 10 years older than the protagonist (since this is her first job). Even the way he "proposed" was insulting: he didn't ask her if she liked him back, he just assumed that she did. And even though he publicly humiliated *her* many times over, *he* was saved from the embarrassment of others seeing him get humiliated by *her*. That's just as much "compassion" he deserves.
Hmmm...
Me thinks you are taking this a little too personally.
Did a man perchance act dickish toward you? Or possibly break your heart?
Because nothing you've wrote refutes my original post.
Whatever you think of his behavior, she was still a stone cold bitch to him.
Maybe it's just me, but when I run across someone who is a total prick to me, I've never found trying to sink even lower than them in response particularly helpful.
More importantly, it's just a manga.
No need to get your panties in a twist over it.
Lol, you're right. Sorry...
In his own misguided way, he was pouring his heart out, but she just crushed like a bug.
