Guys stop pushing this thing of yours onto others. The characters didn't want it. The average person isnt' going to consider that an option. Barney would have no need for it. Robin dates monogamously. That criticism is essentially not of the show or characters , but of everyone. That's because it's not a choice most people want in the first place. They'd rather find someone else. Most couples can deal with long distance without it.

You people are so delusional that now you're confusing your headcanon with the show. Robin didn't want an open or adventurous relationship. Robin wanted a relationship. Barney didn't. Open or otherwise. He was like a mgtow type.

That's an opinion. Reality is that people don't get together based on how much you desire them, ship them, or how much that makes you feel.

@notwerkinginthishouse8634 I'm not someone who ever believed or used terms like soulmate. But Ted is the sentiment of every romantic. In the way of actually wanting a relationship, and getting married. There's nothing wrong with those goals. Nothing wrong with wanting to meet someone who is special to you, and vice versa.

Americans, some types of people, and maybe english speaking westerners in general seem to have a strong dislike for people who actually put effort into finding or wanting love as a sort of weakness. Ted wasn't perfect. Barney fucked some women over. He did it a hundred times more than whatever worst thing ted did. He played games. he fooled them constantly. I think people really gloss over some of this stuff. They are not equivalent at all. that's a false argument that breaks down. Another difference is that Ted took each thing as a l earning experience and grew from it. But no, they are not moral equivalents at all. People let Barney slide because the performance was likeable. But his plans involved constant lying, manipulation, and essentially tricking a lot of women into sleeping with him. So get out of here with that.

Robin was always in a relationship. "giving in" is projection. It is an imagining you guys have. All they're doing is giving it a shot. And then people are saying Barney isn't living the life he wanted... It also ignores what we know from Ted(which is all we know about Robin).

No they weren't. It's all artifical for one. What is confusing you is the dynamic, and the chemistry, and the charisma of neil. And the humour of the character. And that the dynamic fits a kind of fantasy. And also it seems these nontraditionalist are projecting themselves into the coupling as well. But obviously Barney was not compatible. The show proved that. They proved it twice. You could say her and Ted aren't either but they're just starting again. And the initial obstacles to their relationships are gone.

I'm starting to think the people in this youtube section have a certain leaning. But body, neither wanted that sort of thing at all. Robin's issues with Barney weren't about wanting to sleep with other people. And barney's issues with robin or relationships, weren't about that either.

In conclusions, you're delusional.

It was the most realistic part of the show. He's not gonna change for you. In fact that was their second break up, they broke up for the exact same reasons the first time.

I've never seen as sad group of people as the ones in this thread. This is how cults happen. Abusive person, but "oh she's so pretty and I want to be an ubermensch in my mind".

@maeahem Or maybe to showcase that they don't have a good relationship. And no childhood trait of hers matches barney's. They would actually match Marshall, who gets along with Ted.

@amityislandchum You're projecting. Barney was the same except he cared about his daughter. All they said was that they had a good relationship if I remember right. Seriously, you are projecting hardcore. Like we see his daughter as a baby only so what sexuality... if I remember correctly.

@ninglight4433 Since when is fashion and being an ass to people a social good. I think all this misaimed fandom is what happens when people fall for a charasmatic idea that in reality, would suck. It would suck if your boss was like this when you were just trying to live. It would suck if your boss would belittle you. All of you would literally be crying and popping pills.

I admire that they wrote their story anyway. Writers write and hope people like it. They aren't wrong just cause of shippers.

in real life... someone that sleeps around and based most of their life on that would never cheat? Like.... again look at all the PUAs and pound and dash types(I forgot what they call it). You guys are confusing the emotion seeing that interaction gives you for a good choice.

the less than human thing is beyond reaching and a complete guess. I doubt even the idolized part is accurate depending on portrayal. Nor is that a connection because the perceptions are unrelated. This history seems to be entirely in fiction and specifically modern one. But there have been jokes too. There should have been a focused on why it developed in the countries that it did. There was one mention of a french source and that's the end. Was it just a character type used and then reused because it worked. This is all very centric too. Ice cold characters exist outside of blondes. And again, as oppose to idealize... this whole take is biased because it seems misunderstand or has no understanding of how a guy actually views things. It's so removed. Like looking at it detached instead of just asking a guy. The ice cold personality is how a closed off woman would appear to anyone. But they can still be alluring or nice from what bits you can tell ect. That isn't idolization. That's attraction. But people can be naturally shy or have complexes, especially if the other person is attractive or popular or any number of things. Anyway my own idea is that the dumb beauty comes from well... beautiful people standing out so that a beautiful dumb person stands out the most. And the idea that a beautiful person can coax through life. There are both men and women examples. But I'm curious why the blond hair was taken to exemplify that in some cultures. Is it because the hair stands out. Now I'm thinking some european trend or love for it. But let's be clear that there aren't just 3. There's plenty of innocent and intelligent blondes in fiction. There always have been. The stereotype stands out because it is just a pantomime type character

They were all there in their tough times. Chemistry or a relationship dynamic isn't a good reason to have a bad relationship that was never going to work out. Monogamy wasn't the issue. Barney can't keep a relationship. And it's a struggle for him. This idea that Robin didn't want a conventional relationship is just you making something up. Only thing she didn't want was children, and maybe marriage. Then she kinda wanted both(or wanted the option). Barney doesn't need a woman at all.

And you don't see how much of a fairytail nonsense someone that likes to sleep around to the point of ridiculous plans, deciding to be with that one woman that changed him isn't far more ridiculous. One is at least a good person. The other will probably screw you over. And it's just as much of a cliche. Ted was an architect and teacher who had plenty of dates, and a wife. The story was framed to understand why he wants to date Robin, and what led there. And remember that the ending was there from the very beginning. Honestly both aren't impossible in reality. But you promote one over the other without self realization.

All this shows is how hardwired rom coms have made all of you when something subverts it. Or you thought it was the wrong kind of rom com.

That took place decades later. And you act like it wouldn't be a good ending for Robin. I thought the ending was very interesting
