Did Angela want Marcus?


Is that why she was always in Marcus' business and constantly asking him about Jackie? Did she have a crush on him? Or was she just nosy? I always thought she wanted him for herself. It was also silly to have expected him to be trustworthy right away. She knew about his reputation, and she also knew that Jackie used him and broke his heart. If she did like him, I surely don't understand why. What do you think?

She definately wanted him, because marcus represents the "bad boy" that women always think they can change. Also getting Marcus over the glamorous jacqueline "...I may not have hair weaved down my back" is probably pretty satisfying. Also IMO, jacqueline only screws marcus just to show Angela that she can still have him whenever she wants, which is why she is so irrate. She probably would have forgiven marcus for cheating on her knowing how he is, if it was just some random chick, but since it was jac, then it hurt her pride knowing she "lost"

Sorry if this answer came off a lil chauvinistic, I'm speaking in generalities.

I think she was a naive young lady taken by his "charm" and just wanted a piece of him.. :-/

Too HOT To Handle!!! Too COLD To Hold!!!

Angela was attracted to Marcus from the moment she met him, but she also knew that Marcus was attracted to Jacqueline and she had no intention of trying to compete with Jacqueline initially until she noticed that Jacqueline was treating Marcus like crap.

yeah, angela knew she had no chance against jacqueline.

I feel sorry for people who dont drink

This is why I wanted it to end another way.It was a boomerang all around. Marcus got what he deserved. She went for the bad boy as much as Marcus went for the bad girl. Jaquline ended up getting played a little when she realized she could no longer manipulate him like that anymore.

She wanted him because in general. women want what they cannot have. men who have women all over them pique the interest of the other women around.

nobody likes to go to a empty restaurant. people like the hot new restaturant that is always crowded. same thing with men and women
