Why do thousands of viewers say that Victoria's great & is perfect for Ted? She claims that the best part of a kiss is the lead up to it, so it's better to not kiss, claiming that a kissless, sexless night is perfect. She makes Ted wait almost a month, then soon after chooses to move 4,000 miles to Germany, where she very quickly starts a new relationship with Klaus, despite claiming to be in love with Ted. She jilts Klaus at the altar, then expects Ted to drop everything & marry her. She gives him the ultimatum that he must stop being friends with Robin.

[@Missmagazinebura]

SHe isnt perfect She was with Klaus the german man

[@rileykaplan3470]

@@tanyamoretz not really true though... If you think about it, the moment Ted tried to put Victoria's letter on the table he kinda ran into Klaus who was just about to run away, too. So, even if Victoria hadn't shown up in the bar she probably wouldn't have got married that day.

Why doesn't HIMYM have the level of popularity of Friends, TBBT or the US remake of The Office? HIMYM & The Office both end badly, yet The Office has become much more popular after it ended, so HIMYM's disappointing s9 can't be the reason.

And also, yeah of course Ted was an absolute Dick to Natalie, and although I do krav maga and love it, it's just never okay to physically assault someone unless in self defence. Just imagine that had been a man assulting a woman... that would not have gotten half the "ah yeah!s" that this did.

[@dinakisa1049]

I agree. I don't think it would work. The idea of a person you went on a first date with standing naked in your living room while you're in the kitchen fixing him something isn't even appealing.

[@AnthonySforza]

Im up to 3 out of five times. Not quite 2/3, but still. Where the show got it wrong (Except in Ted's case), is that YOU have to be the one determining that there won't be a second date. So if you can just tell that she wont want to go out again, then showing up naked in her living room, she's already written you off and it wont go well because you're giving her more reason to dislike you. However, if you are the one deciding that you're probably not going out with her, then she hasnt written you off yet and she's more open to it.

Barney & Robin each make it clear for years that they don't do commitment, so it makes no sense for them to marry.

[@aussiepie4865]

I can’t comment on the dates without losing it over the ending. Ted and Robin were the worst couple ever. Wtf can’t these sitcoms have a happy ending? The mother was exactly the right person, it should have finished at the train station. Btw the worst date was the police woman, (Janet?)

[@Punmaster9001]

Top 10? How about every date with narcissist ted. I mean as bad as blah blah seems, it's obvious she's had to deal with a lot of shit in her life, and she could consciously or unconsciously tell that ted was still obsessed with Robin, and for whatever reason people try so hard to get attention from narcissists like that, she was unfortunately unable to just walk away the moment she realized the problem. And of course, with any examples I could give from the show, it's what the writers made them do. ted's reaction to Cassie going through all that, instead of comforting her at any point, he acts like she's a burden and tries to bale. Natalie might be one of the best, and most glaring examples of ted being a fucking narcissist. And it's all perfectly laid out in that episode If not the most egregious example of ted's narcissism, then it's at least the very first example we see.

How do we know what Barney is like? Ted is the one telling us the story. So we as the audience don't know what Barney is like.

[@dinakisa1049]

True. He's an unreliable narrator. The writers did that on purpose because Ted is telling the story many years later. There is a possibility that Ted exaggerates Barney's adventures so that the kids don't feel bad about their dad marrying Barney's ex (Robin). He also exaggerates how perfect the mother was so that the kids know that Ted loved their mother and give him the blessing to move on.
