[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She wrote a show featuring herself hooking up with handsome men! I actually think it’s kind of endearing. It’s like David Lynch, writing in a scene of himself kissing a beautiful babe because he’s the visionary and he does what he wants. For an old man to do that is one thing, but a young fat woman is beyond the pale![/quote]

Not sure about other men, but Adam Driver isn't handsome, and certainly on Girls wasn't more attractive than Lena Dunham.

She said in an interview recently that the audience reception of that character and Driver was different than she intended. People came to see him as a romantic hero, largely because Driver (while not classically handsome) is extremely charismatic onscreen. But she meant for that relationship to be a way to reveal her character, Hannah's, insecurities and flaws to the audience, to create this toxic dynamic that was bad for Hannah but to show how Hannah wouldn't be able to give up on him because she ultimately finds the validation she gets from the relationship too important to her. But audiences fell in love with Driver, which made them root for the character, which was not her goal as a writer.

That was the sort of thing I loved about Girls, though, how they'd write about the realistically idiotic things people do in their 20s, out of insecurity or ego or envy or toxic traits. The show felt very honest at times about how shallow and self-destructive you can be when you are young. My youth wasn't as debauched as the girls on the show, but I saw parallels in the friendship dynamics and the bad choices the women made with regards to men, despite sometimes good intentions.[/quote]
