Raj isn't gay -- unless you're one of the people who believes, "A male with qualities that are stereotypically pejorative of gays MUST have a sexual attraction for other males."

Raj has a some of the former, none of the latter. His heterosexual preferences are VERY well established, as any intelligent person can clearly see.

I have always thought that since season 2.

Raj is an insufferable jerk.
I take offense that you compare him with Gays
or Indians

He has had girlfriends and he's treated them all badly. He then proceeds to cry and moan that he can't find a girl.
He needs to grow up.

that could be true, but we dont know yet

I agree, whenever he gets a girl his arrogance goes off the chart.

Having said that though the question is basically why the writers have not given him a girlfriend. The writers are the ones who write him that way and they are the ones who can change that. The question remains... why haven't they written his character in such a way that he can have and keep a girlfriend?

All he does is whine in the later seasons. It is unbearable.

He did have a girlfriend (Emily) but the writers ran out of ideas (again)

I have noticed lately that Raj doesn't have many lines anymore. The whole show is about the 3 couples now.

Or rather the actress left for something else. But there was the other chick

pretty sad ending for Raj...

reply

[–] Trendrick 7 years ago

Why haven't the writers given Raj a girlfriend or a wife yet? His character seems so out of place now and all he has are funny one liners.

Makes one wonder?

I liked Emily and her  ways; but, I think Raj  Claire played off each other better...either would do nicely.

Or maybe a female-Raj-type (kind of the way Amy was to Sheldon, early on)...ONLY THIS TIME she stays that way! If they go that route...shouldn’t get any complaints about her not being good enough for him…or him not being good enough for her.

BUT; do we really want to see them "tie off" the last guy in bunch? Wouldn't that feel too much like "the end of an era"?

Not quite. But a character with whom both could play off of each others oddness. I always thought he and Leslie Winkle would make an interesting end game.

Have you met Raj?! He would be a hard guy to hang around with imo.

most women don't want to mary another woman, which is pretty much what Raj is.

Some women want to marry a dominating, hyper masculine man. Some women want to marry a man who is sensitive and gentle and who will treat her as an equal.That is what Raj is. There are plenty of both kinds of women around and even more in between. Raj is not for every woman, but there is no shortage of women who would appreciate him, and for whom he would make a great husband.He is quite a successful scientist, and he cooks.

He just had two girlfriends and screwed it up. Did you miss those episodes?

[–] AckbartheHutt 7 years ago

I saw those episodes but the writers could write in a new character that could be Rajs' girlfriend or wife. If Sheldon can have a gf for 6 seasons then so can Raj.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (17215) 7 years ago

I am not sure why Raj is still relevant for this show.

Useless raj.... whine about no girlfriend.... stupid fkn genius!

[–] FFNogoodnik (770) 6 years ago

He did not screw it up the writers made him screw it up. So why did the writers write him like that?

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (17215) 6 years ago

Exactly, its just weird watching the show now. Because all Raj does now is deliver one liners. Its like he is not even a part of the show anymore.

Doesn't seem to hinder him when it comes to the GETTING part...but, it sure kicks in when it comes to the KEEPING part!

I really don't understand what women would see in him. I'll admit he is cute, but when he opens his mouth, that kills it. I don't mean his accent. He's too feminine and jerky. He's not manly, but none of the other guys are too.  They all act like over grown teenagers. Leonard acts so goofy when getting sex I don't see how Penny can do him. Howard was a total creep in the beginning. The way they all tried getting laid and talked about who is getting it and who is not and to going out looking for it, and just doing things on dates that they think will get them laid makes me hate men sometimes.

And with all that, they still managed to get some pretty hot women, especially Leonard.

Yes. That is because this is tv and not real life. 

I ascribe that to the TV-show aspects. In real life, I don't think someone like that would be GETTING, either. Except I guess for real desperate clingers or something.
