I agree 100%. Sam is so worried about not being girly. She also doesn't know her audience. -it feels like she can't imagine the experts/yv audience would disagree with her. In her mind- Neil isn't attractive to her -so Neil isn't an attractive man. Neil and maybe David so remind me of who women marry for the 2nd (lasting) marriage. First they married some alpha guy who thought he was all that-maybe because he was. But, alpha dude who has it all-isn't someone who you can be a friend with-laugh with you thru the non-attractive times like when you're puking on the floor in the bathroom.
