You can get more of Carl in Echo Interactive Short Stories: Benefits. I wouldn't call Carl "bf material" considering his "bad" habits - his frequent laziness and drug use that enables his laziness (and craziness in Jenna's route). I understand there are times to unwind and destress, but if someone lacks motivation, lives in constant fear (TJ), and/or make excuses to justify their ineptitude, regardless if they are wealthy and can provide, they are not relationship material for me ESPECIALLY if they can't strike deep, meaningful dialogue. Carl is cute and can be hot but reasons above. Flynn is sexy but too toxic. Jenna is my intellectual soul mate, but she is female and I ain't hetero; therefore, besties. Leo, at least, is committed, understanding, passionate, idealogical, and determined (CUPID) who is willing to compromise and work towards the future together ad astra (bf material).
Nowhere did I say Leo isn't toxic.
Nowhere did I say Carl is toxic.
Somewhere did I say Flynn IS toxic.
To dumb it wayyyyy down for you, I said Leo has the qualities that make him more bf material to me than Carl and/or Flynn. After all, Leo DOES have bf experience on his dating resume whereas the other two do not. I choose Leo>Carl>Flynn>TJ; Jenna, if I was straight/bi. READ carefully.
Don't worry I read what you said properly I was just dumbing it down as you say so as to not repeat your whole paragraph, if it really bother you that much you can replace the word toxic with flawed in my first post.
My point was that you singled out the flaws in Carl and Flynn while ignoring the very obvious ones in Leo which I found very funny, especially considering how prevalent they are in the story. But hey more power to you my dude, I just thought that was an interesting takeaway from the game.
