What would Susan do when she started to inexplicably turn on Todd… when his breathing bothered her… but who lets face it didn’t really get better or worse. As you may know, Todd is a very fixed character.

What would Susan do before she could diagnose him or go talk about him for years to a stranger?

And what would the man do, who after entertaining six or seven stormy women, found himself incredibly frustrated with his own choices? Maybe he’s Wealthy Todd who has been picking from women with absolutely zero self-respect and who use “dating” as a revenue stream.

If you didn’t have therapy-speak or dating apps or a never-ending scroll of advice posts or a group of negative friends, you’d do something very human: you’d look around.
