Discuss The Big Bang Theory

I enjoyed the episode but somebody please explain this to me, and I know "it's a sitcom "so don't give me that speil , this should be taken as an in bbt universe question, not a viewer question.

What is it about Raj that allows him to bed so many attractive women? Claire, Rushi, Emily almost Penny, now Nell?

He's not particularly interesting , successful charismatic , or anything that screams "ladies man" ,yet he's somehow having one night stands left and right. Just seems too far-fetched to me ,even with Disbelief suspended.

What's true to character is how he screws up every potential relationship. But what isn't is how these relationships spark in the first place.

Are you saying you’d understand the “draw” if they were all unattractive women?

Are you saying that a guy needs one set of attributes to attract "dogs" and another to attract "dolls" ?

I'm not saying that at all. I'm just confounded as to how someone as socially and romantically inept as Raj is able to get so many women.

Maybe it's the "hook-up culture." Women are willing to boink him before knowing enough about him to realize they shouldn't.

It's like Lemons said, he's sweet and charming in the beginning. And IMO, he's better looking than Leonard and Leonard's had some hot women.

Way better looking than Leonard. And the curly hair is actually really hot on him. I think Kunal should go curly full-time.

He's got cotton candy hair.

Based on the answers here, I'm inclined to agree with you. I'm also wondering if the schlubs he hangs out with make him look better by comparison.

He isn’t always "socially and romantically inept"; at times he can turn on the charm and exude confident.

But, I think Raj's main sway with the ladies is the fact that he is always so-eager-to-please them.

If Leonard is the King of Foreplay then Raj must be the Maharshi of Foreplay and everything before the foreplay, all the wining and dining included. grinning Until he is dumped then on with the whining and crying cry

I think you guys had the best answers so far, a lot I didn't think about.

Actually he's whining and still dining, on crab from amazon etc, while wearing a dirty t-shirt...

Cover your eyes people I am about to quote Mr. K. Its not "politically correct" in the cheesy American definition. Bombay is Mumbai now because of Indian politics, the same way that Madras is now Chennai. Although I am not going to call my Madras shirts Chennai shirts.

Or as The Four Lads once sang

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks 

Wait! Does that mean I don't have to order Bejing duck?
