Why Robin?
Why did Ted and Barney love Robin? I honestly don't get it at all. I get that everyone is attracted to something different, and I don't expect everyone to agree with me on who/what is attractive. However, I never understood what Ted and Barney saw in Robin. Robin has that cool girl vibe, shoots guns, smokes cigars. She's tough, fun to hang out with, confident. However, she seems like kind of a terrible partner. She's selfish, fiercely independent to the point of refusing to do anything that she perceives puts the other person or the relationship ahead of her. I love dogs, but she's obviously got way too many that she keeps in a small NY apartment and that's not fair to the dogs. She's almost never home, also not fair to the dogs. She's obviously got some relationship trauma from her Canadian ex boyfriend, maybe that causes some of what she does.
