Well, like many characters on TV shows, they live in a bit of a fantasy world. At least it did address it in some way by even mentioning parental or family financial support in the first season.

His initial instinct about not wanting to get involved with her was right…he should have followed that. haha They both wasted the other's time.

I think that the characterization of Hannah being "desired by every man she meets" is not accurate to the show. The fact that her character has had plenty of sex partners during the course of the show is what I was addressing with that comment.

What about the movie "Swingers" with Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn? Sort of a similar creative milieu and some asshole characters. But no, not an ongoing series.

Did you ever live in a big city surrounded by 20 somethings hoping to make it in some creative field?

Aren't several mentioned in this article and the comments? Or are you specifically addressing 20 something characters?

I was answering under the impression I had to find kindness that wasn't directed at friends or family…which is where most of her attempts at kindness have been directed. She has been there at some point for almost everyone on the show. It's just interspersed with a lot of self-centeredness.

Of course not, all the people who criticize her are perfectly evolved and mature members of society who never even think about being selfish.

I find it an interesting examination of where the middle ground is between conforming to the world or being your authentic(?) self.
Not sure any character has found the middle ground yet, but they have one more season! haha

I couldn't make it through one episode of Broad City. I may be outside the target age demographic though. Girls and its emotional territory seems more relatable.

She gives off a non-uptight DTF attitude most of the time. The most unrealistic part of her sexual history on the show to me is the length of her relationship with Fran. Other than that none of it seems that out of line.

Didn't she also have sex with the pharmacist when she went back home to Michigan? I can't remember. But that was also a one and done thing and I think most of it has to do with Hannah's clear willingness to have sex. Girls who give out the "I'm up for pretty much anything" will find guys who take them up on it.

Thank you. I never understand this stance on Hannah. She dresses in perhaps unflattering styles sometimes, but she is not aggressively unattractive. And the internet as a whole has had an ongoing debate on whether Adam Driver is ugly, but somehow he is too good looking for her?

I have never watched more than a few minutes of CYE because I find it immensely annoying. I have seen every episode of Girls. People have different tastes in entertainment and comedy.

This seems to be my perception after reading comments on articles about this show. The common theme is she is too unattractive to have friends, boyfriends, jobs, life.

Maybe because there have been plenty of shows about self-absorbed male assholes already.

Agreed.

Jessa is still an asshole. If she gets credit for being "afraid" of how Hannah will react to her dating Adam, then Hannah gets credit for not telling Marnie about Desi's prior engagements and staying out of it.

I agree. It's like people are mad at her because she hasn't managed to curb the baser selfish instincts we all have. It's interesting viewing.

Haha…fair enough, I don't remember what she said.
