This really. I mean I like Chandler. But Richard...that’s a man 🤤

I have just finished watching them all for the millionth time and I’m still so disappointed in Rachel for getting off that plane Angry

I think Monica and Chandler are a great pairing they remind me of me and dh (I even had my own version of Richard...hot, older etc) she is uptight and a control freak he is more level headed and laid back. She gives him more structure he peels her off the ceiling at times. They compliment each other and make each other a better version of themselves (and I am waaaayyy too over invested in this clearly)

I have a confession....I like ross

Me too. He is by far the funniest.

I thought Pete was awful with all his extreme sports stuff, and he had no neck! Richard all the way for me, Chandler was like a naughty schoolboy compared to him.

googlyeyedpirate · 01/03/2019 23:41

Chandler. Chandler was her best friend type of lover.

Richard was a dad type of lover

Nutkin123 · 01/03/2019 23:47

The whole Richard thing was creepy AF!!!! He was literally her dad's mate. Chandler was funny, kind and loving. 110% chandler!

fairybeagle · 01/03/2019 23:48

Chandler 😍😍

thecutecouple · 01/03/2019 23:49

Chandler Bing any day. Couldn't get past Richard's bushy tash and the age difference.

Patroclus · 01/03/2019 23:55

I was amazed when I got a bit older and fund out the general consesus was that Richard was insanely attractive. He just reminds me of the murderers in awful digital channel american crime documentaries who go on the run in florida.

There is also the weird incest issue that she dated his son

But sexually yes, Richard is infinitely preferable Grin

BartonHollow · 02/03/2019 00:38

Oh God Yes if anything the one that Monica should've married was Jon Favreau's billionaire bloke that took her to Rome on a date.

SkirmishOfWit · 02/03/2019 01:15

She wasn’t important enough to Richard or Pete for them to put being with her before their own stuff. Chandler got over all his issues around commitment and immaturity in relationships to be good enough for her and was hot and funny, Richard was pretty dull really, the big tree.

The early relationship of M&C had a lot more heat than M&R too, so she got everything with him not just friendship.

suddenly aware of how much time I’ve spent on this and it’s too muchSo yeah... Chandler Blush

DuffBeer · 02/03/2019 01:24

I'd be happy with either!

Courchevel · 02/03/2019 01:34

I'm watching it on Netflix at the mo, and I think it's lovely how Chandler and Monica's relationship grows out of a friendship.
Richard was too old, and kids were always so important to Monica.
Also Chandler was funnier, better in bed (I can't confirm this.... unfortunately Grin) and they had all that shared history.
I met Matthew Perry once and he was utterly charming, very tall/broad shoulders and very good looking. (I haven't met Tom Selleck for a direct comparison though!)

Fluffyears · 02/03/2019 11:09

I hate men with facial hair. It gives me the heebie jeebies so Tom selleck is a total turn off to me. Chandler was my favourite, he had the same sense of humour my DH has an that attracted me straight away. I have a quirky sense of humour and if a guy can make me laugh he’s halfway into my pants and I find him more attractive.

HotChocolateLover · 02/03/2019 11:36

I’d marry Chandler, he was alway my favourite. Probably because he’s quite like my DH 😂 Richard is lovely but...nah!

Switsy · 02/03/2019 11:40

Absolutely. I'd rather have had a good decade or so with Richard (before having him admitted to Shady Pines and taking up with a toy boy), than decades upon decades with Chandler. Chandler was not sexy. Envy

Did you see the sneaky footage someone took of Courtney Cox and Tom Selleck bumping into one another in a bar recently?

Ross was her Midnight Mystery Kisser

😂😂😂

I could never understand why Chandler was made out to be hopeless with women and a loser compared to Joey. He was so good looking, especially in the early seasons. No one in their right mind would pick Joey no brains over Chandler funny and hot.

Switsy · 02/03/2019 13:14

No one in their right mind would pick Joey no brains over Chandler funny and hot.

Joey was stupid but good looking and sexually confident.

Chandler was a walking bag of neuroses.

For a one night stand I'd pick Joey every time. Long term, neither.

Lottapianos · 02/03/2019 13:15

'But Richard was a friend of her parents and he knew her as a child which is just a whole other level of weird.'

I have to agree with the weirdness. Tom Selleck though. Yum. I'm a fool for some nice manly facial hair

I enjoy Ross but only because David Schwimmer is such a great comic actor. I agree the character was a petty, control freak weirdo

andypudding · 02/03/2019 13:20

@Switsy see I found Joey so dopey it was cringey and I'd be embarrassed for him and that ruins any sexual attraction for me. I liked Chandler's quirks and the self deprecating sense of humour Grin

Although I liked Joey's story about backpacking across Western Europe Grin

Switsy · 02/03/2019 13:23

I'm a very kind person and would be willing to overlook a lack of brain cells if I though they could give me an unforgettable few hours Grin

Can't remember the backpacking story!

andypudding · 02/03/2019 13:31

God it's so funny

andypudding · 02/03/2019 13:31

Whoops posted that too bloody soon

Switsy · 02/03/2019 13:42

Grin Love it. I would be so easily seduced by Joey! How handsome he was in that clip.

Ross on the other hand......who would ever loosens their knickers for him?!
