GLOW's Ruth Wilder a classic enf girl?

[Survivor29]

Has anyone seen the Netflix show GLOW (Gorgerous Ladies of Wrestling)? One of the main characters, Ruth Wilder, comes off to me as a very classical enf girl. She is a struggling actor for whom everything seems to go wrong despite her genuine talent. She is also very attractive, but a financial failure and seemingly hated by almost everyone she meets. Her best friend, Debbie Eagan, seems to delight in torturing and embarrassing her, taking pleasure in Ruth's failures and in her own superiority. When Ruth is at her lowest, she is seduced by Debbie's husband, which Debbie uses to make Ruth into the villain as a homewrecker. I was reminded of the show recently and I only rewatched the first episode, but there is enough material just in the first episode to talk about.

Honestly, the show almost feels written by someone who is a fan of the enf genre... lol.

Played by Alison Brie, she does a few semi-nude/topless scenes, and is usually wearing fairly skimpy clothes. Struggling not to turn to becoming a porn actress, Ruth works on a female wrestling show project which is only marginally less provocative.

When in the changing room after a workout, Ruth mentions that she has been offered porn by a director. Her friend Debbie, makes fun of her for being a prude, remarking that she used to change under her shirt inside the girl's locker room and having been pressured out of that by Debbie, Ruth strips completely naked to change. Notably, Debbie herself does not take off her underwear.

Later, on the set of GLOW, one of the mean girls has forgotten her shoes, and so she pressures Ruth into giving her her shoes, and by never returning them just steals them. Ruth is forced to wear her old waitressing shoes which are falling apart.

In another scene, Ruth is mugged by some young boys who grab her purse and run off. I thought this scene was particularly humiliating because the boys as smaller and younger than her, and she tries to act in control, even trying to be snide to the boys, but quickly loses control of the situation, and when they run off she completely gives up her pride and dignity, giving up her purse and just begging them to give her her keys. It's not hard to imagine a scene where Ruth willingly gives up her clothes and shoes in exchange for her keys.

Simply, she is a often scantily clad girl who often loses her clothes and suffers many embarrassments/humiliations.

After getting mugged, she calls Debbie to pick her up, and on the ride home Debbie notably teases her, emphasizing the whole thing.

Anyway, that's it. I'd seen GLOW before when it came out, and it's a good show, but I hadn't really looked at it before through this lens lol. Maybe it can inspire some stories, I guess is what I was getting at. I think I might make a gallery with a few pictures from the show but otherwise, that's all from me!

Haven't seen it, but I'll check it out.

My 1st impression when reading the descriptions and looking at the photos is, well, it seems to be off topic. Never was a fan of female wrestling, or mud fighting or such stuff. I admit that there may be some people out there who are turned on by these pictures, I am not. But I haven't seen the series on Netflix, so I could be wrong.

I haven't posted any pictures yet so I assume you are talking about just random googling?

I am not really talking about the wrestling premise of the show.

[automagix12]

Yes, I googled some photos and the description of what's going on (the story plot).
Feel free to post your favourite photos of G.L.O.W. here, or in the gallery. If they are erotic and on topic, then it's fine with me.

I've watched a few episodes - she does indeed seem the ENF type. Plenty of scope there - rewrites of scenes from the show that take things a little further!

So you get what I mean then! Yes, it's definitely not a straight enf as it's a mainstream TV show, but it doesn't take much imagination/rewriting to make it extremely enf does it?

Did you spot anything I didn't mention? I only rewatched the first episode so far as I have seen the show before when it came out.

Didn't spot anything of note that you didn't mention. But Ruth is shy, awkward, insecure - all of which makes her ideal for ENF situations. She also has a great body!

Yeah, her character was definitely the main thing that I picked up on, but I also think the way that her so called "best friend" is actually really mean to her is a part of it as well. Even before the so called "betrayal", which is really the husband seducing Ruth while she was at her lowest, Debbie picked on Ruth a lot, and overall people seem to bully Ruth a lot.

[SteveBurke]

Ruth gets bullied because she's an easy target. She would make a great subject for a stripsearch story because she would submit easily, allowing herself to be used and humiliated because she doesn't know how to stand up for herself.

And her tight little ass could use a good spanking!

Yes, I agree. I think the whole GLOW aspect isn't really want I am interesting in so if I were re-writing it, I'd just say that the GLOW project failed before it got started and she continued on as a failed actress/waitress.

It's the character that I found intriguing.

I don't agree that it needs a re-write, just a little tweaking. I can think of plenty of promising storylines:

Debbie rips off Ruth's top during a match. Ruth wants to quit, but is pressured into continuing topless.

Debbie has Ruth in a headlock, and is supposed to playfully spank her ass as part of an agreed routine - but instead yanks down her shorts and wallops her bare ass in front of a cheering crowd.

Ruth and Debbie are sharing a joint outside the gym after training. They have a heart-to-heart talk, and Ruth is hopeful of rebuilding their friendship - but then a police car rolls up. Debbie throws the joint to Ruth, who is promptly arrested and taken away for a full cavity search!


You could still have Ruth pursue other jobs on the side, but the wrestling show and her issues with Debbie can provide plenty of scenarios for ENF. Of course, Ruth perseveres through it all, determined to make her name as an actress, (and make up with Debbie), but is constantly humiliated and taken advantage of.
