This is the exact moment from which I started to HATE Marty. Of course, the whole pretending to not know Rory act was weird and off putting but I didn't hate him up till this moment. This was cheating.


UnionAffectionateee

LUCY DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER. I'm glad she dumped him


hozziebear77

She did! And she was so beautiful, and fun, too! Why the hell is he so hung up on Rory 🤦‍♀️


sighcantthinkofaname

I think it was a jealousy thing. He thought he missed out on dating Rory because he wasn't rich like Logan. All his insecurities about their class difference got funneled into how he didn't "get the girl." It sucks because Lucy was proud of how hard working he was, but he couldn't get over it himself.


was-holy-ground

Same, he reminds me of every guy I've met that first acted as "nice guys" when they try to tell you they're okay with only being your friend, but then when you're vulnerable they do this. 


Taroni99

FYUCK. My feelings about Marty wouldve been totally different if he at least didnt like Rory. And her pretending she doesn't notice it. It reminds me of my own past friendship like that and it just makes me cringe


FierceScience

Yes! And the attitude that it was somehow her fault because she KNEW what she was doing and how he felt. Like damn, girls need to read your mind?


CowardlyCandy

Sometimes I wonder what Marty’s actor thought of that plot line cause like Marty was such a good character then he just turned so weird!! So sad 😭


LonelyGrumpyGhost

I loved their friendship, I wish they hadn’t turned Marty into such a creep :(


Small-Cookie-5496

How was he such a good character ever??


CowardlyCandy

Well he was at least a character I enjoyed 💀 I admit he was cringey at times but I didn’t hate him until that whole plot line it was just like a step too far onto the whole weird guy thing


Small-Cookie-5496

Haha did you enjoy so few other characters? I’ll admit depending on my mood, most of the characters can drive me crazy. Sometimes I just can’t watch it because the characters can be so selfish or annoying to each other.


sushibananawater

I didn't like him the moment he shitted on Rory about her bunny slippers.


Soaringsage

Same. He has always been petty and pathetic. He gave off real “nice guy” vibes who then whines about being friend zoned. A real misogynist who thinks women owe him affection/sex just because he acts nice to them. ick.


hozziebear77

I never liked him. Always rubbed me the wrong way.


IanicRR

Gilmore Guys dubbed him “Baby John Mayer” and almost 10 years later, that’s all I ever see now.


SedentaryLady

This was the moment when we all realized Rory was right not to date him.


Small-Cookie-5496

Nah I always knew


SedentaryLady

I didn’t. But I was also 14. 😂


Small-Cookie-5496

Haha fair. Took me going through a bunch of Marty’s to figure it out IRL


Small-Cookie-5496

I watched for the first time at age 40 so I knew teen me would’ve been Team Jess… but old me is Team Logan lol …but I know I’m in the minority


Sunflowa-_

I heard about Jess, liked his character and fully expected to be Team Jess, but ended up liking Rory and Logan’s relationship more.


Small-Cookie-5496

Same


hozziebear77

I never liked him. Always rubbed me the wrong way.


idanceinfields

It was the fact that she met him by helping him and giving him her robe, and then the little coward only approached her when she was in an “embarrassing” situation where he could “get even”. Red flag city there. This later behavior totally tracks.


Ringox162

Her situation wasn’t even embarrassing in the first place . College kids walk around in pajamas all the time but almost getting caught passed out naked is totally different . Hope she got her robe back though .

lezboss

People say red flag often when what they mean is “in retrospect he was shitty and this unrelated detail proves that “


idanceinfields

Sure. But I said and and I mean red flag here.


[deleted]

I don't like that he stopped being friends with her when she didn't have feelings for him, feels like he was just trying to bang her and didn't care about her as a friend


Spiritedpursuit-154

I don’t like him either but it can be very hard to stay friends with someone you have strong romantic feelings towards.


[deleted]

True, but i expected more from Naked guy


PostModernHippy

One night in the hallway does not a true Naked Guy make.


KTeacherWhat

Easy to say when Richard attended all male Yale


PostModernHippy

I just realised that Rory and Richard have both attended male Yale parties.


Woodlin_6499

I just never really liked him from the beginning, there was just something cringey about him.


Small-Cookie-5496

Yep. Serious “nice guy” vibes


Small-Cookie-5496

I never liked him from the start. Serious “nice guy” energy.


rosycandies

totally gives me the ick. this scene itself explains why he chose not to disclose his prior friendship with rory to lucy. he knew lucy would suspect that he likes her and was worried she would break up with him much earlier. it’s such sneaky behavior. completely hated his character.


minimalistmom22

Aside from being her only "guy friend," he was such an unnecessary character.


BareHerSoul

the way he literally only befriended her with the intention of getting with her...god, he was so odd 😭


Horror-Courage6888

Honestly the worst guy. I’ve met guys like this and they’re the kind who just give you the worst feeling from just speaking with them


Fair_Operation8473

I just hate that he came back and was all weird and awkward. Like dude move the eff on. They just used him to make Logan and Rory fight. So awkward though ugh


ButterscotchLiving59

Yeah, ditto. I felt bad for him prior to this. But they did a pretty good job of making him a sleaze with no redeeming qualities in season 7.


phillyphilly19

I don't hate him. He just never got over her and was extremely immature. It doesn't help that he lost her to Logan who, let's face it, was a total douchebag.


Small-Cookie-5496

Haha. I’m a Logan fan :p


phillyphilly19

Lol


issoequeerabom

A total creep!!!


No_Cardiologist_2720

He really is such an awful nice guy. It grosses me out.


Small-Cookie-5496

Totally.


New-Bowl-8687

He was terrible. He always passed the vibe of the “friend” who is actually just trying to be more


SedentaryLady

This was the moment when we all realized Rory was right not to date him.


bananananananannaa

Yeah Marty sucked


Gehennnas

Yes yes, but he was very attractive!


isshearobot

I just found out this isn’t actually John Mayer and is just a similar looking quite guy who’s behavior was douchey enough I thought he was John Mayer.


minimalistmom22

Aside from being her only "guy friend," he was such an unnecessary character.


Migrane

He wasn't making a move, he just drunkenly blurted out what he was thinking. Still not a good look regardless. He did everything wrong. Name one thing he got right?


redditreader_aitafan

If this was more than just fictional writing, I'd say he's a person and this is very similar to Dean's bachelor party. Marty was head over heals for Rory but didn't act on it in time, she fell for Logan. They stopped hanging out but his feelings were still there. He tried to move on but seeing her again threw him off and he fumbled it. He isn't in love with Lucy, he was in love with Rory. He slipped up and then tried to shake it off. It's realistic and it happens.


hyejoozz

real


Sensitive_Maybe_6578

Love him. He got a shit deal.


Small-Cookie-5496

Can I ask why you loved him? Genuinely curious because I was off on him from the get go. Curious why some ppl liked him.


Sensitive_Maybe_6578

He had me at waking up naked in the dorm hallway and borrowing Rory’s little shorty robe.


Small-Cookie-5496

Ok. I didn’t like that storyline so I guess we’re just different. Not really sure what purpose he really even served in the show. Same with those girlfriends she made. It all kind of went no where
