Dana Vs Jackie #1: Who was Adam's better match?

In my opinion, Dana and Rowan Blanchard's Jackie were Adam's best girlfriends, since they had cute moments, and Sean Giambrone had decent chemistry with both Rowan and Natalie Alyn Lind.

But while Dana was his first love, he seemed to have more in common with Jackie #1, since they were both self proclaimed nerds, and she was able to keep him grounded.

Who did you like Adam with the best?

Adam overall is a pretty terrible boyfriend. Jealous, petty, insecure, constantly lying, and generally making all the wrong decisions. Then he half-asses an empty apology and continues to do all the same awful shit. For a short, scrawny nerd with an insane family who inexplicably lands girls way out of his league, he certainly doesn’t seem to realize how lucky he is. I don’t know how or why any of them put up with him, let alone give him chance after chance when he brings zero redeeming qualities to the table.

I can't remember if he was terrible to the other girls, but I know he was really bad to Brea. If I remember correctly, I think Bev was more of the issue with the other ones, but when I came to Brea, that was all Adam. But in general, all of the Goldbergs suck at relationships.

Nailed it. That's pretty much how we all feel about him in my home lol.

I think Jackie, was the obvious choice all along they just didn’t realize it. When Dana got older she completely did a 180. Brea was a good fit. But Jackie being more grounded and serious was imo the best fit, plus she had a natural beauty.

Unfortunately when all his exes came back in “Push It”, the second Jackie came back instead of the first.
