I also feel that way and I’m sure others too...
but, still, I think it’s fair to say that:
If Veronica had Jasmine's model she'd be a fan favorite.

I disagree. I don’t trust Veronica. She’s a woman who has convinced herself she’s nearing her expiry date and is desperately seeking to check off all the boxes to get married and have a kid.
It’s so obvious the sexually adventurous behavior was to capture the protagonist’s attention and once she’s married and pregnant she’s gonna put him to work, the blowjobs and exhibitionist sexual escapades come to an end and the protagonist will exist to labor for her while she constantly bitches at him.
He already cheated on his ex wife to get out of exactly that scenario and up until we the players assumed the identity of the protagonist his personality did not meaningfully change enough for him to attract anyone different than his ex. As for his ex she’s crap. There’s no reason to be with her anymore the damage is already done. She’s at best a friend and co parent but that relationship coming back is like reheating McDonald’s fries.
Thus it’s all about Jasmine. She has the same interests as the protagonist. She can keep up with him intellectually. She has multi faceted talents and she’s relatively easy going and still young enough that she isn’t jaded by a checklist leading into a traditional lifestyle.
The other two women are looking for a provider to latch onto. But Jasmine could be an actual partner.
The protagonist has some growing to do. The ex wife and Veronica are two sides to the same coin and will limit his growth.
