Rate me late if someone else posted this but holy shit, it has never been more apparent that he doesn't talk to anyone. I wonder if he even talks to Khet once a week, this dude is so fucking lonely. I can honestly say I never think about "is this something other people are involved in and care about?" when I'm choosing how to spend my time. Now, I enjoy the detracting community but if it went away I would just find another way to spend my time like what is he talking about? Does he have a single friend?
No, Phil doesn't have friends and even when people have mentioned that he should get friends, he scoffed at the idea. He's told the internet "I work six days a week and muh wife is my best friend." He's tried to reach out to people like Wings to build something, but he was being too loud and woke up soulmaid, and you could tell he was DRUNK as all hell.
Also, Phil has a KNOWN history to see people as assets. To him, you're to be used for HIS benefit. Oh, you need a favor? No can do, dood. He has to work, dood *snort* Now, can you give him $200? Oh, don't expect that money back, dood. That went to pulling Hogans, sorry, I meant "bills".
Here is a clear example: he had a broken fightstick that was collecting dust, Howard saw it and asked if he could have it, since it wasn't working. Phil went "Yeah, go ahead." Howard knew someone locally that could fix it, he paid the guy to have it fixed, Howard told him that "Hey, I got that stick working again." Phil looked him straight in the eye and said "Okay, when are you going to give it back?" Seriously, that's a dickhead move, but it's DSP, so expect him to be a dickhead for every occasion.
There are only three people that I can think of that TRULY cared for Phil, for all of his dickheadedness was PandaRee, John, and Howard. Once they filled their purpose, he went searching for another sucker - sorry, I meant romantic partner - in Khat. Not realizing Khat was looking for a another sucker and found one in Phil. Since Phil is too fucking stupid to notice that he was being used, he decided "Well, fuck it, this is as good as it's gonna get." and put a ring on it.
Everyone in Phil's life has to have a purpose and is an asset. OIC has to give Phil money under multiple aliases, Khat has to provide company and be his soulmaid, to make sure that his DoorDash is warmed up, and go work her part-time retail job, his parents have to be there to hurry up and die, so he can get his piggy hands on his dad's retirement funds and childhood home.
See the correlation? Everyone in his life is just an asset and to be used for his benefit only. Not because you deeply care about the person and enjoy their company, fuck no! To Phil, you're to be used and milked for free labor and cash.
