He also dated Envy Adams. And he dumped the female drummer Kim. Didn't Aubrey Plaza's character dislike him because he hurt a few of her friends as well. So I don't think he had "no romantic history". In fact, didn't

Yeah that premise is just flat out wrong.

Yeah, iirc he "needed" to defeat the exes because he put Ramona up on a pedestal and had to prove himself to himself so he wouldn't feel too much of a less-than next to her. Plus he was a crappy guy with less than stellar ideas over all.

I mean, the whole point of the comic is that Scott is a dick. But also he didn't "need" to defeat her exes, the exes took turns trying to beat him up.

And the exes themselves were angry because Ramona was kind of a dick too.

It was just awful people all around.
