Elle Florence #12 Fumbling Towards Mediocrity: Elle, Her Cats, and the Quest for Mr. Next

[APoppy]

I think Elle is one of those people who either doesn't realize that a lot of people (people I know in real life too) are curious and will Google and check house sale records etc esp about people they've met but who seem full of bullshit. Or if what they say seems too grand based on what you know about them.

Either she doesn't realize that it isn't unusual for people to just do a search on public records. Or s he just assumes everyone is gullible and should believe exactly what she says even if her lies down match up. And since people are calling her out on her bullshit it is either "creepy stalkers" or "lying gossip". It never occurs to her to just be truthful.

Mind you even if you tell the truth people won't always believe you. But If you are secure in yourself and you know what you are saying/doing is truthful you cant let idiot people stop you from living your life.

I think Elle is so upset about stalkers and haters bc she knows what she's selling is not entirely truthful. If she's actually deluded and believes she's in this fantasy world she spins then I hope she gets some professional help.

I think Elle truly does believe every word she says. She believes she is this amazing girl boss, she believes she is the greatest catch and any man that dumps here is crazy. She truly believes it all. She is insecure thou and needs constant reassurance from those around her and those online, hence YouTube. I think that’s why she gets so upset with the gossip and any criticism towards her is dismissed by her, because in her mind she is the most amazing women to walk earth and how can anyone question or critique her decisions and lifestyles.

Maybe she's quiet so that people will stop talking about her?

 

[Keikochan]

Yeah that's what she is hoping, that we'll get bored, forget, find something else to talk about. We won't though

Yep! I’m still here. Can’t stop, won’t stop posting as long as she’s still scamming people.

Girl needs a name, face, and location transplant if she ever wants to escape the goss.

She’s probably in the middle of doing that as we speak. Besides, Mama G can afford it.

If she was just honest and open and vulnerable she wouldn't have these issues. Clearly everything she does is shallow and she has no depth. If he had an ounce of self awareness and some ability to reflect she wouldn't be jumping head first into disaster after disaster.

Ok jumping into stuff with SS after Joe dumped her was foolish but it wasn't anywhere on the scale of awful as her moving to FL to be with Rick. Anyone with half a brain would know to stay away from him, he gives off major white knight vibes. He must know all the right things to say to people like Elle.

She goes trying to change her likes and interests for guys trying to get them to like her instead of being herself and looking for a guy who wants that. Just is madness to me. I'm not outdoorsy I would not date a guy who would expect me to go camping with him. But Elle seems to sell herself as something she isn't.

Sure the fact that her interests are only shopping and watching hallmark movies might make it hard for her to find a guy but I'm sure there's some guy out there who wants a pretty enough partner and doesn't care if they can be actual friends. Just stop selling yourself as a hard working lawyer that loves whatever interests the guy has.

Elle’s not terrible looking after all the work she’s had done and she can scrub up well when she makes an effort. There’s no reason she can’t get someone who looks like Rick, Joe, or Chris since none of them are attractive to begin with (Joe is cute in a nerdy way but he’s not the type of guy girls go crazy over at first glance).

Her trouble is she expects a lot. Guys with careers like Joe and Chris want beautiful women or cute women with common interests and real accomplishments of their own and calling yourself a girlboss while reselling aliexpress jewelry is not an accomplishment to these people. These guys aren’t going to fund her shopping addiction and real housewives fantasy when she has so little to offer them. They can’t all be momma G and have zero expectations or standards.

Does anyone have her bride vlogs saved?

Does anyone have her bride vlogs saved?

The only Florida vlog I want to see again is the one where she tried on wedding dresses. I distinctly recall Elle and Mama G sweating their way around various trashy looking bridal 'boutiques' as if they were planning the wedding of the century.

It was highly entertaining watching Elle critique every dress she tried on when we all know she'd say yes to any dress that would get her down an aisle. Really any aisle at this point...church, movie theatre, supermarket, who cares? Just as long as there's a man at the end of it!

All these dresses looked super heavy and dated. Smelle tried to make her viewers think she was getting her dress from some enviable place by stressing she was greeted with a glass of BuBbLeEe but all bridal salons do that now

They were super dated! It is like elle watched say yes to the dress once when she was 18 and then never realized that wedding dresses have changed since then. And kept her dream wedding dresses in her head all this time (this is something I don't understand)

One of my friends got married in 2017 and she wore a strapless dress and I thought those had gone out of style already (all the other bridesmaids chose strapless other than me, I had zero contact with them) I am by no means fashion toward but I always find it weird when people who are self proclaimed fashionistas like elle and my friend go with basic dated looking dresses.

I think in her last video she said she’d go back to “regular posting” at the end of the summer since she’s working on her businesses. But the problem is that she can’t have it both ways: she can’t not post for an entire summer, not engage with her subscribers, not do anything, and then expect her viewers to welcome her back with open arms and loyally purchase from her new line that’s coming in August.

I totally understand needing to take a break. But if she’s not going to post full videos, she should at least post these #shorts that a lot of YTers have been doing lately. Show a 30-second cooking or baking hack, provide a list of places to volunteer to support Pride Month… And what about these giveaways she was planning to do? Why not upload a short giveaway video once every couple weeks to keep your viewers engaged?

To not post any content for months at a time, and then show up and say, “Hey! I have a new line, buy my stuff,” is in my opinion, not very tactful. But at this point, I don’t think her viewers care.

 

[svdwoodsen]

I don’t think it really matters if a style is dated since there are only so many wedding dress styles out there and a lot of people just really like certain styles (strapless, princess gowns, mermaid) that others hate. But Elle picks the most unflattering and ugly dresses that don’t go with her body shape. She’s already short and kind of chubby (she’s not fat but her body is very shapeless and she’s soft and doughy looking all over) and the poofy gowns she was trying on made that even worse.

She also picked super heavy looking dresses that did not match up with her tropical theme.

Just noticed this on reddit

I don't think tact is Elle's speciality or she wouldn't have the problems she has.

Elle dresses for the body she thinks she has (willowy and effortlessly sophisticated French girl), not the body she actually has (cubicle dweller who binges on gud pasta and cheap wine).

You’re such a generous person! Thinking she’ll be back in August is kind. I’m betting she “returns” with a Labor Day weekend vlog, assuming she’s made friends by then or her Mom decides to return to the states for the US holiday.

I don't think tact is Elle's speciality or she wouldn't have the problems she has.

You nailed it! There are just come social concepts that escape her. My parents would be furious with me if I acted the way she has (or at least what we’ve seen from what she shared on social media).

One of my step-sisters is austic and she struggled with basic social skills. When I spent proper time with her once our parents got together, I thought she was incredibly rude and dumb, but tried to cut her some slack because she has a developmental delay that gives the perception of the bad character traits. Fast forward to 20 years later...it’s not the autism. She is rude, she isn’t smart, had no basic common sense AND she’s a racist. Ha! All that to say...what you see is what you get. I was trying to give old girl (Elle) the benefit of the doubt that she may have a developmental delay that stunts her social development but...

I don't think Elle cares, people will still hate watch

Hopefully they’re all watching on viewpure!!!
