HIMYM says dating rules *ruin* your chance at love?!
Should dating rules ever be followed?
How I Met Your Mother was full of a lot of dating rules, often voiced by Barney Stinson, who lived and preached “The Bro Code” – his infamous framework of dos and don’ts in all things related to women, dating and hooking-up.
The show’s focus on “rules” reflects that, for as long as people have dated, they’ve had to navigate a host of perceived “laws” about how to act, who’s an acceptable match, and how a potential partner’s behaviors should be interpreted.
So does How I Met Your Mother really believe it’s necessary to follow the “rules” of dating? The show ultimately underlined that love can’t be contained by any rules, or rational constraints. But at the same time, in some plots they do end up proving the rules “right.”
How I Met Your Mother seems to understand the absurdity of dating rules in balance with people’s urgent need to make and follow them.
