Toxic Takeaways: The Problem With Ross from Friends

The Take is launching a brand new merch line! Check out our limited edition designs available on the Merch Shelf now before they’re gone: https://the-take.myteespring.co/ | Ross Geller, played by David Schwimmer, is one of TV’s original "nice guys." Yet ever since Friends ended in 2004, we’ve been able to take a more critical look at Ross, and spot some of the many red flags we once disregarded. Through this retrospective lens, we can see Ross as an example of male fragility. He’s a guy who’s so preoccupied with proving that he’s a ‘man,’ he often ends up overcompensating and even hurting others in the process. And yet, after ten seasons of questionable behavior, Ross ends up getting his dream girl anyway. Here’s our Take on the many Toxic Takeaways from Ross Geller’s story, and the lessons he can teach us about how not to be a good friend.
