Why was the Friends show always shilling how cool it was to be rentcuck in your 30s and share a room alongside other single losers?
>>215610238They weren't in their 30's and had a fuckton of money to be on a nice 90's new york like a breeze
>>215610238>rentcuck in your 30s and share a roomHaven't seen friends but this is utterly insane to me. I have friends who are engineers at top companies in London and still have flatmates.
>>215610238or maybe its just easier to have one set.
>>215610238Yeah what the world was crying out for was more sitcoms about traditional homeowners with families regardless of whether or not most non wealthy twentysomethings in the city can actually afford to own a home
>>215610238The show ends with two of them buying a house together and moving away
>>215610238Even when I was a little kid I always felt there was something weird and wrong with Friends.It didn't help I watched older shows where people were married young and owned a home and kids already, those always looked as winners to me no matter how many forced problems yids made
>>215610300I make $200,000/year before tax and only just bought my own home at the start of the year because even a 3 bedroom shithole that's falling apart where I live is 1 million dollars.
>>215610300They aren't called europoors for nothing
>>215610507It sucks how we need to be old farts to buy a house now. I wanted a house when I was younger
>>215610546Yep. I'm 28 and am completely aware of how immensely fortunate I am to own a house at my age. The only two other people in my social circles that do work as engineer civilian contractors for the military. All our friends that work regular office jobs or even ones that actually pay decently don't have a chance until they're in their mid 30s at least, but the housing market is constantly escaping them because a certain desert tribe keeps paying politicians to import hordes of people from India and the Middle East
>should I fuck tons of hot people, fall in and out of love and tell it to my cool friends who will give me free food, let me crash without money, make me laugh and set me up with other good laysor>fuck one person forever and work foreverHmmm, I wonder which one is more appealing to 20-year-olds whose hormones are telling them to fuck like rabbits
>>215610667Yeah it's sad, because even if YOU make it your friends/family won't, it's bad if you want to have kids. Like, my cousin has 2 kids but he lives in a place full of old farts and nogs so his kids barely step outside, I have been looking for some places on my own and even if I could afford a few of those the people....don't look good.
why would anyone at any high or low point of their day-to-day lives ever want to sleep in a racing car-themed bed?
>>215610845See? You even got this wrong. You see it was better to have a home in your youth and then get a lover instead of being a poor brokefag asking permission to your roommates to bring your girlfriend or go to hotels
>>215611159People don't love themselves anon, if they knew how much we lost they would be seething.
>>215610845It's funny you think this is a normal thing, and not a manufactured hyper-hormonal and in-the-moment mentality
>>215610266They turned 30+ in the show.
>>215611520Nobody said it was normal, underage drinking isn't either and every teen wants to do it.
I was a huge slut in my 20s and haven't touched a woman in 6 years
>>215611591Doing heroin is also appealing but some 20yo can say "no thanks" just fine
There were plenty of sitcoms about families already. They wanted to make a different one so they picked young professionals living in a city. People in NYC tend to delay marriage and settling down. I've only seen a few episodes but I was under the impression they owned the apartments anyway
>>215610238When I was a kid my racecar bed was extra cool because it looked like the mello yello nascar. /tv/ related because it was similar to the one used in Days of Thunder think just the number was dif.
>>215611624Saying "yes" to something so normalized in every culture and country and community is not the same as doing something that may lead to psychological, physical or legal consequences dumbass.
>>215611688>being rammed by 20 dudes don't lead to psychological or physical consequencesmhm
>>215610238Friends even had a race car bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX6BKpRW1bA
>>215610238The real swag would be to fuck women in that bed.
>>215611708On average a woman fucks a new guy every week
>>215610238Yeah it's pathetic. I'm in my 30's and live with my parents like a normal person
>>215611756Your sample size is your mom and sister
>>215611708It's under the umbrella of being a "lover" or "sleeping around", around guys "scoring with a hot chick" is always cool, with girls it's trying to find herself or "the one". I'm not saying it's a good thing, I'm saying society encourages people to be in love and being "in love" is different to everyone.Believe it or not but partying and sleeping around is seen as "healthy", because you want excitement in your youth when most people are beautiful without effort.So no, someone telling you they fucked a girl yesterday and they did heroin yesterday are not the same thing dumbass.
They didn't shill anything, retard. Monica and Chandler bought a house soon after they got married. Monica, Rachel and Joey also complained about being unable to pay rent.
>>215611908Not to mention in the last episode they mention that Monica's apartment had rent control and that's how it was so damn affordable.
>>215611955>Not to mention in the last episode they mention that Monica's apartment had rent control and that's how it was so damn affordable.This was also said in the first ep of the show. Monica said it was her grandma's rent controlled apartment but she moved and Monica is pretending to be her.
