I prefer the option of painting his face blue with indelible dye, on a regular basis.
Green is out,
The Hulk is so, so sexy.

That was always my take. It's not so much a show for nerds as a show about nerds aimed at people who know nerds.
I always thought it was a show about nerds aimed at people who think they know what a nerd is based on a stereotype about nerds using a couple of people known to the writers of TBBT who are perceived to be nerds by the aforementioned writers.
Well, that's a more precise way of putting it.
Oh, and really overrated.
As example: In the show, the nerdy characters make references to Star Wars / Star Trek / DC all the time in their daily life. I know no nerd/geek who does that nor I do so, unless if I am sitting only with geek close friends, in a specific setting, who are also happen to be fans of SW/ST/DC. But most geeks/nerds have enough social intelligence to know that it's stupid to throw science fiction jokes/references around normies in daily life.
And I find desexualising Raj in that fashion as a typical subtle racist trope (Asian men less masculine than Whites).
My women friends all had the hots for Raj actually he is too sexy to desexualize. He is actually the most appealing TBBT character to NT women I know (and one female aspie
) His character was dating two women at a time.I thought I replied to this post already. <shrug>
Raj describes himself as "Delightful caramel", I believe.
So, what is so great about him, not that I am saying he isn't great in the series?
Is it his "Puppy Dog" helplessness?
Or is it because his father is filthy rich.?
If I had to have a male relationship with anyone on the show, it would be Leonard. He is so considerate, and he is "The King of Foreplay."

Pure sex appeal with Raj. I like brown men and I have 3 brown children to prove it.

Am I considered brown btw?
Lol I have never used "brown" to describe people before. My childrens' father is a Yemenite Jew, Middle Eastern like you so I suppose you are brown also. Chocolate is brown so that's good no? Please don't mention other brown substances that are less pleasant Boo. Chocolate, definitely chocolate. Yemenite Jews have the darkest skin of all the Middle Eastern jews. Very reminiscent of dark skinned Indians.
I am considered a pale brown tho. lol
Milk chocolate, only 30% cocoa

You do realise this research means we superficial males get the better end of the deal, right?
If we are prepared to put in the effort, we can often "punch above our weight limit."
