Elaine Gives George Dating Advice | The Phone Message | Seinfeld

[@necroplastful]

Basically EVERYTHING you should never EVER do in this situation George did it in this scene.

[@mattm7798]

Except for calling. A simple "Hey it's George, sorry I missed you. Give me a call when you can. Bye". Boom easy peasy lol, but this is George, so you turn that message in 45 seconds of non stop awkward

[@jasone42683]

He hadn't practiced the opposite yet. That's in later episodes 😉

[@BDUBZ49]

This, to me, was the ultimate George scene. Thank you for including the whole thing. Brilliant writing and acting.

[@MA-go7ee]

No way. The ultimate George scene was the one with his boss after being caught sleeping with the janitor where he goes 'Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?' Lmao

George Brought those in with him, watch it back that is the stuff that comes out of his bag. Jerry probably wincing because the directions if I remember right, are like at most 2 teaspoons not a Big Sip. Pepto is strong stuff. The way George was his middle name was ULCER. LOL.

they made the right decision to drop the stand up intro bits.

When I started watching Seinfeld in about 1995, I didnt realize the show was supposed to be about how Jerry gets his stand-up material. So I was always confused why they included the bits.

So many people think they can fake their way into a relationship. Like they're going to pull a fast one on someone, but they won't eventually find out who you truly are?

She wasn't necessarily inviting you to anything noteworthy like "coffee." But it's something to keep in mind.

[@GeorgeMonet]

I was in George's exact situation and blew it the exact same way. Somehow I always knew I was the George in the friend group.

[@pflaffik]

Was asked that too, i said "but i dont smoke", then she was like "Yes you do, you were smoking last time", then she gave me a detailed story about us smoking in the back of a bar, all details matched except the part where i smoked. Impossible for her to make all that up, so i guess im a smoker,

That's true I don't remember her ever talking about siblings. Anyway I think out of the group she's the one we know the least about her childhood/relationshipwith parents. There was an episode with her dad and that was pretty much it.

“The scrutiny you put each other through” The worst offenders for this are people who live in Manhattan. Even though folks like to say “I don’t like judging others” they all do it and with extreme prejudice when it comes to dating. The long list of items to check off their list is why I became more carefree and free spirited dating women from manhattan, because I grew up poor and many of them wanted a guy with connections/money/status.

Are women actually attracted to men who they perceive don’t care about them?

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Ok, so first off, women aren't some strange, mysterious species that thinks differently to men. Basically, normal women (there are exceptions in both sexes of course) look for the same things in men that you look for in a woman. Are they attractive, do they have a good personality. That's it. Sure, women have a bit of extra hormonal stuff going on and because they bear the children they're looking for a loyal man that can provide for the family. That's only a consideration after he's passed the first two criteria though. So no, generally women aren't attracted to men who appear to not care about them. There are some exceptions like if the guy is already taken some women find attractive and if the woman is extremely attractive that one guy that doesn't drop and kiss her feet she might find attractive but usually those relationships don't last long because when you start dating them that attractiveness is gone.
