"OK, I know it&amp;#x27;s Wednesday and Girls aired Sunday, but something is still bugging me about the most recent episode. You know that time that just-not-that-into-you, non-committal guy realized he wanted to be your boyfriend after you delivered a weepy monologue into his face? No, you don&amp;#x27;t, because it doesn&amp;#x27;t happen. Today we dissect Hannah Horvath&amp;#x27;s (Lena Dunham) shirtless wood-working douchebag f*ckbuddy boyfriend on Girls, the primary source of my ire at the moment. Because the show gets so much right, it sticks out a lot when it gets something this wrong. Adam&amp;#x27;s gone from being a semi-cruel, definitely unavailable semi-friend-with-benefits who sexts other girls and makes fun of Hannah&amp;#x27;s weight to what&amp;#x27;s essentially a manic pixie dream boy and/or wish fulfillment for Dunham. Observe: Girls girls: After Hannah whined to Adam about how their relationship wasn&amp;#x27;t enough for her, a few episodes later, he acquiesced. (&amp;quot;Do you want me to be your f*cking boyfriend?) Real girls: If the guy wanted to date you, you wouldn&amp;#x27;t have to talk him into it. Girls girls: After Adam acquiesced, the two are suddenly in puppy love, watching 35mm home movies of him projected on the ceiling as if their relationship was suddenly equal instead of her feeling like crap for months and finally shoehorning him into a label he didn&amp;#x27;t really need/want. Real girls: After a few awkward dinners, you&amp;#x27;d call it quits. Girls girls: After Adam pisses Hannah (and a car driver) off, he apologizes by pasting dozens of &amp;quot;sorry&amp;quot; posters on the street. Real girls: WHAT? Who would do this besides a male Zooey Deschanel ripoff/a guy in a soft-focus Porn For Women/Charlie, Alison Williams&amp;#x27; wimpy, &amp;quot;penisless&amp;quot; ex-boyfriend? Bottom line is, while the show tends to riff on Sex &amp;amp; The City a lot in terms of tropes and relationships, Adam seems to be going the way of the Mr. Big: the unattainable turned into the attainable, but within the first 8 episodes--which, frankly, is even more unrealistic than most of the relationships displayed on the Manolo&amp;#x27;ed fantasyland of Sex &amp;amp; The City. Something&amp;#x27;s rotten in the state of Denmark, no? What did you guys think of Adam in this past episode? Do you think it&amp;#x27;s as unrealistic as I do? Talk to me!
