Was Walley slow?
I know Walley is portrayed as a good student and athlete, but Tony Dow seems to play him as slow.
Really, what smart, popular guy would have Eddie and Lumpy as best friends?
Watching the episode "Wally's big date" is strong evidence. he doesn't want to date a beautiful girl because she's taller than him. When she makes her herself appear shorter to He praises her for conforming to his lack of self-esteem.
shareA lot of men have issues with a woman being taller than them, and probably just as many if not more women have a problem with it.
shareThat's only one example of Wally not being too bright and having his masculinity threatened by women.
In his defense, he is a generation older than me and the writers were two-to-three generations older.
