So he has a PhD, a high paying job, is incredibly smart and funny while she's... a bartender? And she's above HIS league?

All things considered no but in his very small universe yes

didnt she settle down with him after playing the field of chads though? pretty accurate

women's (((accomplishments))) are meaningless

There was a copypasta a while back about how the entirety of TBBT is wish fulfillment for women to sell advertiser space.

Penny is your typical girl next door

A wannabee actress college dropout making due as a waitress

But a handsome genius falls in love with her and gives her everything she wants

Also his nerd friends are also in love with her but they know their place as beta orbiters

All while ads for cleaning products and fast food restaurants play during the commercial breaks

This show started in 2007 when nerds were still considered bottom tier and repulsive to the average normgroid. Now that everyones lives revolves around tech, and nerds have become synonmous with wealth and power, their place in the hierarchy has obviously changed

its how young teens and normies see things sometimes

normies LOVE this show specifically because it puts them in the position of the insert dumb normie girl who's never had to try and is somehow still socially above the super smart STEM guys in every metric BUT being smart

The pendulum is now swinging back with nerds being seen again as incel freaks. But this time they cry every time one of their franchises gets a woke adaptation instead of crying it isn't lore accurate.

Absolutely mindbroken.

TBBT is wish fulfillment for women

Notice that from season 4 on the characters and stories change. Men are whimps, women are magically successful and popular, it's all about very generic relationship crap.

this is also true. before the 2008 financial crash it seemed like every guy who wanted to be rich fast was trying to just go into finance and be a hot shot finance bro like they saw in movies like wallstreet. then after the cash and with the rise of facebook and snapchat all those guys decided they wanted in on that so some started trying to get into computer science so geek culture became less "nerdy"

TBBT actually had low ratings when it started and was on the verge of getting cancelled. They must have changed writers and brought in focus groups because it does get extremely safe and generic after a certain point. But whatever they did worked because every Gen Xer and boomer I know loves the show. It's still a hit on streaming and syndication.

I really love and hate women at the same time. How do I reconcile this?

The downfall started when they introduced that goblin that became the sperg's gf.

Yeah he's an ugly autistic dweeb

after a certain point

That point is Sheldon getting a GF. season 4.

They must have changed writers and brought in focus groups

Yeah. They tailored it completely towards women and rehashed all the generic Chuck Lorre content.

But whatever they did worked because every Gen Xer and boomer I know loves the show.

Women love those cozy safe series. It's also why they love Office and Friends.
It's also why no one watches modern series on repeat.

their place in the hierarchy has obviously changed

lol no it hasnt

How's your relationship with your mom?

I was always a nerd but I'm unintelligent and make no money. It's the worst of both worlds.

So he has a PhD, a high paying job, is incredibly smart and funny while she's... a bartender? And she's above HIS league?

When Big Bang Theory came out in 2007 the USA still didn't have gay marriage, nerds were spit on and stuffed into lockers, bullying was completely legal, the n64 emulators barely worked, and the USA was basically a caveman nation back then. Of course back then the bartender with a big rack was out of some geeks league.

My boomer parents love it. Ive never watched a full episode.

I guess id be considered a nerd.

after the simpsons I distinguish groups into nerds and dorks. I'm probably more of a dork desu

TICK TOCK WAGIE. YOU HAVE 24 HOURS BEFORE YOU NEED TO GET BACK IN THE NERD-OWNED CAGIE

Notice that from season 4 on

who the FUCK on Anon Babble is wathcing the big bang theory, let alone from season 4 on? are you a woman?

he made less money than her in the later seasons.

same man. and its even worse for me because i grew up in the fucking bay area, yet wasnt smart enough to do the whole "go into tech and all the tech companies that are here to become rich". i just became a complete loser instead

a high paying job

postdoc

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So he has a PhD, a high paying job, is incredibly smart and funny while she's... a bartender? And she's above HIS league?

I have a news flash for you OP. Having a PHD and high paying job and being very smart as a guy doesn't make you "above women's league". An attractive woman will ALWAYS be above your league, no matter what. And the reason an attractive woman goes for a "smart, phd, well paying job" nerd is to use him as her personal ATM.

I bet you're some software engineer or some other tech autist who thinks that because you're so smart and rich that it makes you better than everyone else and that all women would be lucky to have you, which is why you have that flawed logic.

Found the actual scientist. What's your poison?

the n64 emulators barely worked

I understood that reference!!

Found the actual scientist. What's your poison?

It was physics.

For the last 10 or so years Wall Street have been vacuuming up as many math and physics phds as they possibly could to develop their algos. It'd take a real fuck-up not to be able to land a $200k+ job in finance

That's not postdoc jobs though

USA was basically a caveman nation

Americans made google, youtube, steam, basically everything online you use. But yeah sure. Caveman nation lmao

Same. I work a shitty government job in New York while my peers are lawyers and have six figure jobs in the city. It's awful.

That's why I'm no longer a postdoc.

grug no understand words

grug only read "USA BAD"

grug lash out because grug violent nigger

Good job you retarded double nigger

That is correct, yes.
Hot girl > nerd. It's not complicated.

b-b-b-but you dont understand anon, the smart rich nerd has so much more to offer than the hot bimbo! i mean come on, he has his bank account, he can offer her financial security and a good upbringing for children, and, well, i mean surely he has something else!

the entirety of TBBT is wish fulfillment for women to sell advertiser space.

literally everything in society is jsut to sell advertising space to women. almost the entire american economy is centered around making women buy shit they dont need.

Yes. That's why male centric franchises like Star Wars and Marvel need to cater to women. But female centric franchises like Twilight and Hunger Games don't need to cater to men.

Correct because all that you described is fake make up silly human shit. Biologically speaking we have one very healthy attractive woman and one very unattractive unhealthy man

Actually i'm pretty sure in later seasons they gave Penny a pharmacy job with higher pay than leonard and small like following a scream queen from like shitty horror movies, because they realize once they both hit 30 it became clear Penny was the loser of the relationship

>But a handsome genius falls in love with her and gives her everything she wants

when did this happen?

Like, in the first episode?

what was this silly-ass video from?
wasn't it some sort of set-up or was it 2 people at some speed running conference
I forget now

The birthrates are falling for a reason.

handsome

meant to reply to this

There was an American Dad joke about pharma shills being college dropouts so at least that part is realistic.

Games done quick?

They gave her a good job and tried to make her smart towards the end of the series.
Before that she was a drunken whore waitress who thought she was too good for Leonard.

Yes, that is how social constructs work. Value is defined by demand. Just like how women want rich tall guys, rich men want young hot women. Off course this is a generalized simplification but no doubt enough people take it at face value and consider it acceptable, otherwise it wouldn´t be such a stereotype.

And yes, it is absolutely arbitrary and shallow but the construct is only reflecting the society that created it.

Autism is actually undefeated, the fact he gets along with her very well at all is unrealistic. There's a hot girl in my apartment I bump into now and again and I don't know what to say beyond a simple greeting. My mind literally turns off.

he definitely has handsome features, but they make him look like a nerd. plus he's short and skinny
