Do American sitcoms lie about how easily and often do guys get laid?

I have watched quite a few American sitcom, some of my favourites being FRIENDS, How I met your mother and so on, and it is frankly surprising to see how easily the guys get laid, make out and get to meet super horny women. Is this actually true, or is it just for the sake of the show?

  • It's mostly fake, but to be fair, it's also true that most of those shows are set in major urban centers where there are TONS of options and where people tend to date more people more often. It's much harder to date like that in the suburbs, and even harder in rural areas, because of the lack of other suitable people nearby.

    It's still also true that it's fiction, and it's designed to be entertainment, not a documentary, so you aren't supposed to take it as fact. On TV, you also have to be hot to be cast, for the most part, and there will be 50+ guys and/or girls who audition for a one-episode guest-starring role, and the one who gets picked will almost always be among the best-looking. Real life doesn't work that way at all, unless you are a wealthy celebrity yourself.

  • yeah i agree
    In two and a half men Alan should be that loser no one would want yet he had sex with so many women and some of them were beautiful.
    The big bang theory they were suppose to be biggest nerds and losers ever yet they had so many girls. Raj at some point was dating multiple girls in same time, Leonard had so many girls also a beautiful young girl like Alex having a crush on him? Yeah no.

    • Yeah Big Bang Theory lost its original plot so soon, the guys desperately trying and being awkward with girls was what the show was about, not to mention being extremely smart and nerdy. They just lost their touch and they humanised everyone

  • Yeah, lol, it's all true, and then Freddy Krueger comes in their dreams, and kills them all, it's a fact, I've seen it on tv, it was a live broadcast 😂😂😂

  • Believe it or not, some guys really are that smooth.

    • I guess the girls need to be really off guard or horny to be ready to sleep so easily

    • No, the guy just needs to be super confident and desirable 😊

    • Well that's hard to believe

    • Show All

  • I am gonna use how i met your mother for this one Look at barney he was rich and attractive so him having lots of girls was 100% realistic then marshal he stayed with his collage lily which is also realistic, then Ted he went through the realism of having no one to another girl who seemed perfect but wasn't and kept thinking maybe he found the 1 which again is realistic. So i would really say it depends how well the show.

  • If you’ve got the gift for it, yeah it’s just about that easy

  • it's tv

  • you do know it’s a work of fiction?

    • Yepp but it isn't Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, shouldn't there be some percentage of reality in what they show?

    • No, it’s entertainment. The writers can write that a guy gets laid 3 times per episode if he thinks it’s funny and it makes the audience laugh... doesn’t mean there is a bit of truth in it.

  • It's a tv show.
    The whole thing is one big lie.
    They aren't really friends, they're not really in an apartment, the bar or coffeeshop they congregate in is a constructed set.

  • Yes. Sitcoms are not reality. They lie a lot.

  • It’s a work of fiction and also from a different era. Post aids scare pre tinder American cities with lots of nightlife were a pretty good time for okay looking guys with decent social skills to go out and meet girls.
