Yeah, I guess she means he doesn't play games, but that phrase is something that's usually said about men who are really bad at approaching women. I don't see Bryan having problems in that department.

It doesn't seem like a game to Bryan, if he is completely uprooting his life to be with Rachel.  That's not a game!

Yeah, he had her from 'hey Rachel' that means serious game in my book. Imo in this case his friend just meant, that he actually isn't a player. Jmo

IMO it doesn't matter how much "game" someone has, or how much they try to be a smooth player, if you're not attracted to that person, they can smooth their way till the cows come home.

Rachel liked it, starting from the first kiss that swept her off her feet.

Bryan absolutely has game. What is Pauldine smoking .

I personally hate this kind of friend, being too protective is horrible and it's like we can't fight our fight?

LOL. It reminds me of what Cupcake said when he was defending Bryan. He was like "he's a 37-y/o chiropractor! How much of a player could he be?".

Sometimes, I do wonder if Bryan has as much game as people think. It seems like 90% of female viewers think he's insincere and are not buying what he's selling. Given how cheesy and OTT he is, I wouldn't be surprised if that turns women off IRL too. I do think if the lead had been Raven or Kristina or Danielle M, there's no way he would have won. I bet his game only works with a specific type of woman, who is just as physical and cheesy as he is. IMO.

@Aria ITA.
It's like the date who continually tells you knock knock jokes. Some women like that. Ok. Me not so much. Or the guy who likes slap stick or just all around corny. My eyes would be rolling outta my head. But that's me. Rachel has said before she likes corny. Maybe she got that.

I have to give kudos to Pauldine for having Bryan's back.  Even though she might be looking a tad overprotective, that is a really good friend, imho.

Why must someone be labeled having/playing games just because they have an effusive happy personality and expressive word usage?? Some people are genuinely that person. I have not seen anything that Bryan has said or done that shows any game playing. He genuinely liked then loved Rachel. That is the premise of this show. I appreciate someone who can be honest, forthright and expressive with their feelings and affection. Apparently Rachel does too. IMO Bryan and Rachel understand and validate each other and Bryan's words and actions make Rachel feel accepted, adored and loved for who she is. Good for Bryan for giving her that and being genuine in the process. IMO

Big, if true.

I'd probably be turned off by him tbh. I'm not into OTT romance for myself though I do enjoy watching it on this show.

I can see a lot of women running for the hills because of past experiences with "smooth" men, but I think there are still plenty who lap that stuff up. Whether they're the kind of women Bryan is seriously interested in is another matter altogether. Luckily for him Rachel didn't resist too much, even if she was a bit sceptical.
