    Because it wasnt simple, and its got a lot of old culture in it that doesnt always hit the same way as it did then.

    Its a product of its time, and making fun of it is sort of like making fun of older generations for whatever reason.

    I will say I dont like how apparently women needed to be under 100 pounds to be considered attractive back then, and it bums me out knowing that Chandler’s actor was struggling with addiction during a chunk of the show.

    It does have some really well written bits though, but its usually not the ones people bring up most often.

        The fact that a lot of men now appreciate big booty bitches? I don’t think I’d ever find a woman under 100 pounds attractive even. That’s basically underweight.

          There are very few people who have a problem with women weighing under 50 kilos, even back then. The “fat Monica” jokes showed her in a dat shit where she appeared well over a 100 kilos and there you can objectively say that that is less attractive.

          If that’s not true then the question is a) where is the line? Am I required to be attracted to women over 150 kilos? 200 kilos? Because I’m not

          People, men and women, are attracted to what they find attractive and most people find fit bodies attractive
