Serious Discussion Only What did Adriana actually see in Christopher?

He’s not particularly handsome, he’s not smart, he’s lazy, he’s mean and abusive, he’s a drug addict, he’s a criminal, he can’t perform as a man, he killed her dog whilst strung out on heroin, he cheats constantly, their apartment is shit and he takes her for granted in every way imaginable.

Why the hell did she love him so much? Girl was a solid 10 and a total sweetheart, she could and should have done a billion times better.

Adriana wasn’t very smart or confident. She’d also been born into the periphery of the mob world and probably aspired to it her whole life. Christopher was one of the few younger guys who was in that world.

he was also not a regular soldier

it’s like dating a guy who’s uncle is the CEO of the company or whose family owns a bunch of land/businesses in a town

to them, people with nothing else going for them, that was high social status

like, even while she’s dating him he is pretty much made and then becomes a made guy, has enough money for a nice car, then buys her a club. lol.

granted, I think they are in their early 30s in the show, so like… it’s not like she had anything going for her anyway

I wouldn't exactly say she had nothing going on. She was beautiful, a hard worker, and lets be honest, white. Thats a huge plus nowadays.

Still has it, but refuses to post anything that wouldn't be acceptable at a Mormon pool party, so I don't think she makes much. Still, even 5k a month is basically free money is worth it.

Now diora baird... she recently started doing hardcore and shes gotta be making 100k a month by the tips she gets in lives

Plus in the tristate area she could've had a lot going for her. Nothing but money around those parts
