The writer's room at the time was seven women, two gay men, and Greg, the only straight guy in the room.
Apparently a lot of the plot lines on the show came out of the female writers', like, actual sort of dating peccadilloes-
And Greg's just sitting there the whole time being like, "Are you fucking kidding me, ladies?" (laughs)
So one woman is describing, like, a guy that she went on a date with, and she's, she's doing this thing of like, "I'm getting mixed signals.
He said this, but I don't know." And, and the women in the, in the room are doing this thing that I think is very typical of friends when you're, like, describing your dating problems.
... "He's not calling because, like, he's worried about intimacy." Or like, they're kind of making excuses for this guy.
