One TBBT Storyline That Still Feels So Unrealistic For a Nerd-Centric Show

Summary:

• The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom that revolves around socially awkward scientists.
• Despite being shy and insecure, Leonard was actually a magnet for women.
• A lot of fans find his popularity among women unrealistic.

The Big Bang Theory is a show full of quirky characters, and that's what makes it so great in the first place. Sheldon, Raj, Howard, and Leonard are the perfect quartet of combined awkwardness and geekiness that keeps us glued to the screen.

Humor is the biggest part of the show, and almost every phrase of each character makes fans laugh, especially when they are trying to interact with women.

Howard, before he met Bernadette, was the sleaziest person ever and made us want to throw up every time he commented on a woman. Sheldon was a huge misogynist before he met Amy (and even after). And Raj... well, even though he couldn't talk to girls, he still managed to make them feel uncomfortable.

But there was something about Leonard that made a lot of really smart and beautiful women throw themselves at him, and many fans of the show find it quite not relatable.

“I have been on a TBBT rewatch binge for sometime now and it seems that despite Leonard's awkwardness at times women seem to be throwing themselves at him? The show seems to be somewhat of a nerd fantasy, seems super unrealistic,” Reddit user SignificantSound7904 said.

The fan’s got a point. Over the course of the show there were many women who made the first step to start a relationship with him – Penny even had to kiss him first! But before they became an endgame couple there was Leslie Winkle, who was happy to have sexual intercourse with him.

Let’s not forget also Dr. Stephanie Barnett, once Howard’s date who after a first glance on Leonard wanted immediately to kiss him. Then there was the comic book girl Alice, and of course Priya. There were several more women in his life, but these ones are the perfect examples for the case.

However, not all the fans are on the same page about how unrealistic the fact that the guys were able to attract beautiful girls while being so awkward. And the main thing that made it possible was of course their brainy personality.

“Smart guys are attractive. There is nothing more enjoyable than listening to someone talk about something they enjoy doing, and the guys on the show do that a lot,” Redditor whyamisoawesome9 said.

The Big Bang Theory is available to watch on MAX.
