No, Stuart is looking for love, not to get laid.

Because he probably did in the first ten minutes when he meet her, but she needed a place to live anyway, and what´s better than a desperate Beta that will let you do anything in the house? She gets the benefits of marriage without the sex.

The old tale of the Beta and the party girl in her thirties.

Nope, date in episode 3. He will go with any normal girl that would have him (note: normal in most of the world is not-fat) The blond model is just his dream girl in the external aspect. But I suspect we will have him going out in a date just to discover that blondie is actually a very stupid person.

"Why are these people putting up with Jenny Slate?"

She couldn´t be as Stuart because she is a normal weight woman, less than 35 years old. To be awkward she should be a teenager, an older lady, or fat. And there is no funny in fat, it is always sad (Melissa McCarthy included, especially her).

So you mean that the principal activity of men in this world (outside of creating almost everything, outside Madame Curie) is shallow?

Again, maybe he inherited a place in London and swapped it after the 2008 crash. And he is renting one part, so he has that and his income as a designer. He is not rich. OK, he could sell the place and travel the world. And then what?

No he is not. He helps his friends in the end, and he is an interesting dude. The problem is that he decided to live in that materialist wasteland. In other parts of the world, he would be king.

Maybe they are not cheap, but they have the sensibilities of the middle class men they were until they hit gold with "The Office". In the UK, not everybody is rich before becoming even richer. Well, probably Benedict Cumberbatch.

He did not had a choice in the matter of the 800 USD.

50 USD is a lot of money almost anywhere. I don´t know how you guys can live like that. OK, I could live all my life with the annual wages of a junior Wall Street perp, but 50 USD for a plate of food? Maybe in 2 stars Michelin restaurants. In fact, I paid 16 Euros for an entire meal in a Michelin "Bib Gourmand"…

He is not cheap, he has the condo (which is probably the only property he owns, and maybe came through inheritance, he swapped a flat in London for it, whatever) and his income as a designer, that´s it.

50 USD will buy you one of the best wines in South America, that is, if you are in South America. In fact 50 USD will buy you fine dining for two in a very good restaurant (that´s 500 ARS for God´s sake! My common evening meal in a nice place would be like 120-150 ARS tops, if I am feeling really rich at the moment).

His date was a jerk about it. Yes, lets go to an expensive restaurant and order truffles. Let´s do that, the tall weird guy will pay.

Yes, but only in this ep. we learn that he is her agent.

I found Potemkin to be extremely boring (outside the revolutionary editing). I would have gone with something enthralling like Citizen Kane, and let the girls be bored with it anyways, because it is in black & white, does not have known contemporary actors, etc.

I back this motion.

He probably tried at the beginning when she rented the place. Heck, it was probably the reasons why he rented the place to her. And it didn´t work, and he was friendzoned, and now they´re pals. I have seen it happen dozens of times.

I hope that the end-of-series will be him taking a flight ala Louie but to Thailand, and finding love there, but with a tourist.
