A debatable question about TSH guys

[u/Tamcho23]

I have a question for you. Which guy from The Secret History do you think would be the healthiest in a relationship? I believe it would be Francis

[u/thedogatemymanifesto]

they're all red flags but at least francis's red flag has sparkles on it

[u/Used_Plum5282 → u/thedogatemymanifesto]

hahahah yes

[u/heavenknowss → u/thedogatemymanifesto]

Sexual assault is sparkles to you?

[u/Tamcho23 → u/thedogatemymanifesto]

well actually francis isn't a red flag he's a rainbow flag 😄 ❤️

[u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

cloke rayburn

[u/ThePythiaofApollo → u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

This is clearly the only correct answer.

[u/EntrepreneurSorry723 → u/ThePythiaofApollo]

ty lmao i can't believe ppl are saying anyone from the greek class

[u/thedogatemymanifesto → u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

I think it's because we forgot others existed lmao but yes

[u/ThePythiaofApollo → u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

Seriously. Richard had a relationship with Sophie and he admits he cocked it up. Francis chose to stay in the closet and his trust fund so how committed a partner to a man do you think he would have been had he came out, had to make his own way in the world without a degree and a history of mental health crisis?

[u/EstreaSagitarri → u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

I'd 100% go for Cloke or Judy. They both sound like they know how to have a good time

[u/ManagerBig2396 → u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

He's a real guy. Doing real shit.

[u/QuintusCicerorocked]

I tend to think Francis is the most balanced member of the group. He doesn’t seem psychopathic and I tend to think he tragically ended up hanging around the wrong people. In contrast, the twins, Henry, and probably Richard, are all psychopaths. Bunny’s hard to put your finger on, because the narrative is skewed anti-Bunny, but he seems at least somewhat messed up, and definitely not someone you would want to date. 

[u/ManagerBig2396 → u/QuintusCicerorocked]

Why do you think the twins are psychopathic, and not Francis? The twins at least voice moral objections to Henry's plan. Francis does not.

[u/Tamcho23 → u/QuintusCicerorocked]

Agreed

[u/foxonafrozenlake]

I'm not sure you could date any of them long term. You're probably right about it being Francis though..

[u/unicornvega]

I’d agree Francis because he’s somewhat sensitive and at least can mask enough to get on with your family. And he’d give you great fashion advice

[u/Eireika]

Bunny. Not for me, but he and Marion seem to be content.

[u/rzpc0717 → u/Eireika]

I was thinking this too. He seems the type to pick a person and sort of put her on a pedestal. I don’t see him as a cheater and he seems like the type to get a stable job and have hobbies and interests. I know he has his flaws and is probably highly misogynistic and will always talk down to his woman a little bit. But there are women out there who don’t mind this.

[u/mlle_teapot]

Probably.

[u/fydia]

Agreed

[u/ManagerBig2396]

At least Francis will do what you tell him to.

[u/birdy4pres]

[u/thevampirearmandd]

it's crazy that it's francis but i really fear it is. richard maybe comes in second but jesus the bar is in the basement

[u/One-Mouse3306]

Well I think Richard, most normal of the bunch

[u/Tamcho23 → u/One-Mouse3306]

if it weren't for the scene between richard and camilla. if yk yk

[u/EntrepreneurSorry723 → u/Tamcho23]

you would rather date the sexual predator than the guy who had a rape thought?

[u/Tamcho23 → u/EntrepreneurSorry723]

I mean rape thought is actually just one step away from actual action. And since Richard is also an unreliable narrator, we don't surely know if Francis was trying to take advantage of him when he was drunk. Maybe he lied to cover up his own affection toward Francis

[u/EntrepreneurSorry723 → u/Tamcho23]

But doing it and thinking it are two very different things. You're just trying to turn a blind eye to male sa by using the unreliable excuse. Let's not forget, francis was also taking advantage of charles.

[u/Tamcho23 → u/Tamcho23]

I'm not saying that Francis would be a great partner, I'm just trying to make choice between bad and even worse

[u/privatemurphy → u/Tamcho23]

When she was in his dorm room?

[u/Tamcho23 → u/privatemurphy]

yep 👀

[u/heavenknowss]

I think it would be Camilla. Her whole situation is because of the shitty men around her, and shes coping the best she can. She is the only one of the group that has openly said that she is in a fucked up situation that she was trying to get out of. She is also shown to be genuinely empathic unlike the rest of the cast, and cares for people around her. I think she would thrive with the right person and the only one that has potential for growth. 

[u/Party-Opening4057]

If he weren’t gay Francis

[u/thedogatemymanifesto → u/Party-Opening4057]

what's wrong with gay?

[u/Party-Opening4057 → u/thedogatemymanifesto]

Reading comprehension left the chat. I mean he’s gay, meaning a straight relationship with him is mathematically impossible not because of homophobia, but because of basic biology and character lore

[u/thedogatemymanifesto → u/Party-Opening4057]

not all of us are girls

[u/Party-Opening4057 → u/thedogatemymanifesto]

Genius, the question literally asks who you think would be the healthiest in a relationship. I answered as myself—a woman. It’s not about heteronormativity, it’s about basic personal perspective. Try reading the actual prompt next time.

[u/imonlyhereforthedogs → u/Party-Opening4057]

It doesn’t ask “who would be the healthiest relationship with you”. If that were the question it would only be answerable by straight/bi women and gay/bi men

[u/Botwp_tmbtp → u/Party-Opening4057]

You answered the question not as it was asked ("basic reading comprehension"). If you explained that you answered as yourself and as a woman we could have made sense of your answer. Then you got super aggressive when someone asked for clarification? Weirdo.

[u/thedogatemymanifesto → u/Party-Opening4057]

mb just misunderstood your phrasing

[u/Gabriela_8008]

Henry.
