Do you know any guys who watch the show who has a crush on Lena?


I think sometimes she's adorable but most guys can't get past her weight. Like one guy friend told me she has pretty eyes , whatever. Do you know anyone who's crushing on Lena? I know plenty who love Marnie and Jessa..

It's not her weight. Her character is unlikeable and she doesn't dress for her body type on the show. There are lots of cute overweight girls with effervesant personalities. I don't think I could hang out with any of the characters based on their personalities, not their looks.

I definitely agree with what you wrote, I find her the least likable as a character because of her personality and her choices totally separate from her appearance, though at times I do find what she wears and how she presents herself as annoying. I don't know anyone who would dress in some of the outfits she does no matter what the body type. I should also note that I find Marnie as equally unattractive for the same reasons and she's one of the thinnest (if not the thinnest) of the girls so it's not all physical attributes or dress size.

Her clothing choices remind me of Carrie Bradshaws. Most of the time on the show you're like WTF is she wearing!?! She was super thin, too. But most of her outfits were so outrageous. I work with mostly 20 to 30 year olds just starting their careers or on their second job out of college. The chubby girls dress just like the thin girls. They wear mini skirts and skinny jeans even though they don't look good in them. Nothing as bad as Hannah, but they don't dress for their body type. So maybe that's just the way it is these days. How many times have you seen someone in yoga pants in public that shouldn't be wearing them? It's just a sign of the times that young women are comfortable with their bodies.

I don't know about NO comments being made when it comes to chubby/schluby guys and pretty women. I remember a ton of jokes made about hot wife/schlub husband sitcoms in the 2000's. More than one person expressed how it would be totally unrealistic that Courtney Thorne Smith would be with a Belushi.

Same can be true for Leah Remini with Kevin James! LOL

Lena is like 5 lbs overweight, so it's not a weight issue, her weight is fine. I honestly think they have her character dressing badly and getting horrid haircuts to make her look worse because it fits with the theme of the show for Hannah's character. I have followed Lena on Instagram and she does not look big at all IMO. I'm really confused about all the fat and cellulite hanging out on the show because her pics tell a different story. I like that Hannah tells it as it is and I love her sense of humor BUT she needs to be less insecure emotionally and not so self centered, that's what makes her unattractive IMO

reply

5lbs? lol.

Have you seen her IRL lately? She's lost at least 30 lbs.

reply

I can get past her weight, that's not an issue, it's the way she behaves. She's basically still a child.

no. nobody

One of my co-workers isnt crazy about Hannah as a character but says he has a total crush on Lena Dunham for being smart,quirky,political and being a great writer

reply

She was on Jimmy Fallon the other night and since this is the final season and I assume they wrapped awhile ago, she has lost considerable weight and her face looks considerably a lot less chubby. I could see someone thinking she's cute at best... but not really sexy at any weight. Someone said she was 5 pounds over weight...ROTFL... more like 20 pounds.

She did look WAY better on Jimmy than she does on the show where she really plays into looking as frumpy as possible.

Yeah, I think she's really cute. Love her nude scenes on the show and don't care what anyone else thinks, but the personality is a real turn-off. I definitely couldn't see myself in a relationship with a Lena/Hannah type.

You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn to serve me well.
