But what's wrong with a woman being outspoken? If Louisa was a man, would you would have used outspoken among your list of her negative attributes? Loud-mouthed? Not really. Having an opinion does not make you a loudmouth - Louisa really does not shout unless shouted at. She normally talks quite quietly. Labeling her a slutty bitch is just a demeaning way of categorizing a woman open with her sexuality, when a guy who did such a thing i'm sure would be championed as a hero. Attention seeking? Maybe. Crude? Maybe. But the rest, I disagree.

Some fair points there iRyan, and I suppose that I can't stand Luisa because I am unable to identify any redeeming qualities on an interpersonal level. She is attractive as hell and puts out, which in my more shallow moments would make me drool, but that is only on a physical short-term level. With regards aspects of her behaviour or personality that would make me want to be friends with or like her, I see a rude, insensitive, egotistical, snide, bitchy woman who by her own admission deems people of no consequence if her involvement with them will not better her own situation. I wish for friends, not guardian angels/surrogate parents, but I also hope that if poop ever hit the fan, said friends would move heaven and earth to help me, as I would them.
Her humour is often at someone else's expense as she hides under the covers with her "beautiful-enough" ally Jasmine bitching about everybody else, and likely alienating those around her as she did through school. She assessed the terrain and strangely chose to attach herself to the other good-looking, sexually disinhibited Mean Girl of the group, thus introducing Barney Stinson's Cheerleader Effect" aka "The Bridesmaid Paradox".
People question whether Jim has changed, but I fear there is little difference between 15yr old bitchy Luisa, and the CBB version.
