Then you don't chill in the city at all. Or get out much. This is textbook 20 something year old American young adult.

There are entire campuses of these girls. Entire offices of them. I know this because I study and have studied at these campuses and worked in these offices. These are my co-workers and my peers.

This is the partygoers of the Meat packing district, this is East Village, Greenpoint, West Village.

This is literally the average white girl and in many ways, the average girl in her 20's in NYC.

Of course for the purposes of the show the characters are tilted to various extremes. It's fiction. But all over this city and all over most major cities these characters all fit archetypes.

There are threads all over Higher Learning and TLR about college kids who major in the things they "liked" and are now coming to terms with the idea that what they like is either not in demand or does not pay well. That's Brian Willams daughter's character and Lena Dunhams character. Women who are not really sexually aware or live in a bubble. Lena Dunhams character and Shoshanna. Women who are are ignorant of various societal issues as well as racial issues. shyt that's all the characters on the show.

You said that no one you know in real life acts like that, which is cool, cause these are mostly fictional characters with bits and pieces of Lena Dunhams past mixed in and personally I would'nt want people like that in my circle either for obvious reasons.

But they do exist. The writing on the show this season thus far has been meh but there's a reason why people like this show (at least those who like me take it for what it's worth) as well as How to Make it in America.

While it is fictional, art imitates life. Childish Gambino fukking Lena Dunham is a HUGEEEE stretch though cause a young black republican would'nt spend his time fukking with a clueless, spoiled, fat broad from West Bumblefukk who moved to NYC to "live the dream" like so many aforementioned co-workers and peers. Not unless he was using her as as jump off. Which is a lot more realistic.

Yeah these characters are very spot on... I've encountered them in Chicago, and San Fran... Show is pretty accurate in that regard...

Church...and a black republican most likely wouldn't be caught dead in Williamsburg either. lol

Majority of the white girls i've met from the burbs are like this...self-important know-it-alls who really have no real world experience.

i chill in Queens and Manhattan everytime i come up there.

my problem with believeing any of this is that, I have been halfway around the world in that same 8 yrs and even moreso, i am from the 4th largest city in this country and once again i have yet to come across clueless self-righteous people and i've met people from many different walks of life. so it sounds to me that you're just making an excuse to like this horrid show.

i've been to Times Square. i've chilled on the West End of Chicago. I've been on Flimore St. in San Fran. and I've laughed at the weirdos on Peachtree in Atl. there is nothing i havent seen. this show captures nothing but extremes and if that seem s like the norm to you then :yeshrug:
