#two rivers

One of my favorite bits in Wheel of Time which I'm sure plenty of people hated (a thing you could say about almost any aspect of the series) is how each of the main three Two Rivers guys have love lives that often fail to even walk the line between hilarious and horrifying, let alone be functional and healthy; but every time they're doing really poorly, each one thinks, independently, "Man, I bet [one of the other Two Rivers guys] would know exactly what to do. He's so good with women." And then you mentally smash cut to that other guy, who is having a somehow worse time, even though that should be impossible.
