Why Ross, Chandler, and Joey Together Create the Man of Your Dreams

The classic sitcom Friends made its debut in 1994 and has left imprints on many of our hearts in more ways than one. Some of us may have lived right through the characters as they followed along with each weekly episode the second they premiered; while others have continuously watched re-runs after our parents told us it was well worth it.

Throughout all 10 seasons, we laughed at Phoebe's quirkiness and spontaneity, cried for Rachel's ongoing struggle with love, and realized just how much we strive to be as organized and sweet as the girl-next-door Monica. While the show would be no where without those 3 memorable women, no one can deny the presence of the 3 most charming, somewhat awkward, yet alwayshumorous men; Chandler, Ross and Joey.

Amidst our tears, both good and bad, these 3 men helped the show grow into what it's remembered for today. Perhaps without us even realizing it, Chandler, Ross and Joey have altogether enveloped what it means to be the perfect man and have made for the perfect equation of the title, "man of your dreams."

Here's why.

~ Ross - The Emotional, Awkward, yet Intelligent Romantic

You can't help but appreciate someone with a big heart, something none other than Ross Geller has. Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Ross cares deeply about his friends and family and at the end of the day just wants what is best for them. Not to mention, his academic intelligence is an additional plus that only adds to his romantic charm. While his dramatic clumsiness comes off a bit (well, very) socially awkward at times, he's a good reminder for you that you can't always be perfect and if you stay true to the person you are, it can take you where you need and want to be in life.



~ Chandler - The Sarcastic, Curious, yet Lovable Realist

Everyone loves a man with humor, someone to make them laugh day in and day out. Chandler Bing undoubtedly has that ability and will do all he can to see you smile. Chandler is often hard on himself and very much focused on the realities of life like working a dead-end job and desperately looking for love. But it's his perfect combination of wit, maturity, and curiosity of the world happening around him that will keep you enjoying life in all it's ups and downs, and hoping he's there next to you every step of the way.


~ Joey - The Handsome, Smug, yet Food Loving Charmer

Full of love (mostly for himself) while full of food, Joey Tribbiani is the ultimate heart-throb, finding every chance he can get to flirt. He's the undeniably handsome actor everyone wants to be with. While lacking some common sense, Joey can be the biggest teddy bear, open to sharing his feelings and comforting hugs, but not any crumb of his food. He carries an innocence to the world that is hard to resist, and while doing all he can to be the only man for you, he manages to somehow also become your new best friend in the process. Even if it's just eating a cheap dinner while watching the ball game together, it doesn't take much to make Joey happy being with you.




It's hard denying Ross, Chandler, and Joey together combine to make the ideal man; one who loves large, is always making you laugh, and allows you to live a little carefree. While just characters on one of the most popular TV shows of our time, one can only hope to find him, whether you call him "the man of your dreams," the one or your one-of-a-kind RossChandlerJoey of the world.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

1951

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
