20-Something Observations From "Younger" Episode 4 "The Exes"

Sutton Foster may play a 40-Something turned 26 year old on the show, but I'm totally a 25 year old going on 40-Something in real life. Here are a 20 something "20-Something" observations I picked up from this past week's episode.

1. Foreplay

Via tvland.com

Usually foreplay for me includes asking for water, making quirky small talk about the guys extensive movie poster collection, and taking my shoes off Mr. Rogers style as I sit on the bed. That is, if the guy hasn't already freaked out at me not taking off my shoes at the door. When you are Liza, however, foreplay includes a lot of aggressive pushing, no talking, and some mean wall climbing skills.

2. Hot Sex

I wish I had as much energy as Liza. I've come to learn that certain skills take a lot of pre-stretching, pilates, and/or cardio. I've been known to get a leg cramp now and again. But, that said, congrats on the reverse Cowgirl action Liza, and your ability to keep your underwear on the entire time! Very Carrie Bradshaw of you. #DarrenStar #NudityClause #TVLand

3. Speaking Of Underwear...

Could Josh have worn something a bit sexier? IDK. Are loose fitting Hanes boxer briefs a straight thing? Do straight 20-Something ladies find that hot? I guess it doesn't quite matter because, let's be serious, if Josh took me home, I would probably care less.

4. Josh has nipple piercings

How XTina of him. Though, I find myself turned on.

5. Hologram-gate

Josh has tattoos, a nipple piercing, lives in Brooklyn, works at a tattoo shop, and fell for a girl whose interpretation of 26 is flannel. I feel like if there were a Kurt Cobain hologram floating around, he would know about it. Also, remember that time 2 Pac had a hologram and when Selena's was announced, every major online outlet had that as top news. Holograms trend on all social media. Maybe Josh is too counter culture for the internet.

6. "Speaking of things that are big of me"

Apparently, Josh has a big peen. Well, here's a 20-Something-ism for you. "Pic or it didn't happen."

7. Clueless roommate plays video game after hookup quietly tip toes out

One word: Accurate.

8. French Press

I own one but does no one else think those things are a tad bit time consuming. I have to go to work. Either Mr. Coffee preset or dollar coffee from the guy in the cart off of 14th and 7th.

9. "What's so hard about that..."

"Nothing. Everything. You have no idea." Who doesn't like a good innuendo. But, I stand firm Liza, pic or it didn't happen.

10. "You Da Bomb"

Yes, Liza, because us 20-Somethings are still saying this. Quick fix: You Da Bomb DOT COM. Apparently, making everything a commercial web page nowadays is very effective...dot com. Just don't go overboard. I tried making "Http Colon Slash Slash You Da Bomb Dot Com" happen once. It didn't go over well...dot com.

11. Jonathan Taylor Thomas or Andrew Keegan

Um...really ladies...those are your quintessential heartthrobs of the 90s. Freddie Prinze Jr? Heath Ledger? Maybe? #TeamJacob

12. Nothing says girls night out more than skinny margaritas

Via tvland.com

True. Especially for those of us inspiring to be Bethenny Frankel. Speaking of...I'm shocked by the pure lack of housewife discussion. Cut out "JT Squared" and give me some NeNe.

13. I mean...his name is Thad

The thing that sucks the most is when you are trying to have a girls night, and it turns to you being third wheel with friend and her douche-y boyfriend. Thad pulls out a wod of cash. Since they are not at a Brooklyn dive bar, I'm sure this place is not cash only. He should have pulled out his debit card and left the tab open. Also, he goes on to call the shots "shotskis." No sir. NEXT (as in NEXT bus NEXT).

14. "I know you girls make garbage money"

Leave it to Thad to bring up wage inequality in a way to make himself seem superior. Come on America. People like Thad should not be making the amount of money he makes. I apologize for my gender.

15. "You started doing shots like a lohan"

Did Hilary Duff...I mean Kelsey...just down like a million shots of tequila. Okay, not a million, that was just my 20-Something exaggeration talking. Kelsey tells Liza about there being a point where she stops being cute. Well, for Duff, hard to do. But, I will say that once someone starts saying things like 'Party foul,' which Kelsey does after shot three, that's a sure sign the person is reaching the point of no return.

16. The "I love this song" Dance

Yea...time to go home. Like, 20 minutes ago.

17. Binge Watching Gilmore Girls

I once worked at a coffee shop where everyone binge watched Gilmore Girls. It's a thing. Not my thing. But, it's a thing.

18. Uber

Via tvland.com

This show really likes to throw technology at your face. Honestly, I caved in to Uber about a month ago and only use it in extreme cases. Like, I would have probably hailed a taxi or, most likely, taken the five hour train ride to Brooklyn. Okay, not five hour ride. There goes that 20-Something exaggeration again. But, I would have waited for the L train for five hours before realizing it wasn't running, and, then, just go home.

19. Pretty sure there are laws against drunk tattooing...

I know it happens though. But, let's be real, that is the point you stop everything by lying to your friend by telling them you'll go to the tattoo shop and then telling the driver to go to your friend's place. Your friend may be mad but no one said the job of wing man is easy.

20. The Drunk Text

I really admired the excessive use of the lettering and exclamation points. That said, people really don't abbreviate "you" or "are" any more, especially if they work in some sort of publishing/writing field. #JustSaying #ForRealThough

21. Convenient Trash Can

More realistic if Kelsey blew chunks in the uber, the taxi ride home, or just straight up walking. I love a convenient trash can, but, it's NEVER there when you need it.

22. "I'm sorry. My friend is really drunk."

I wish I had never said these words or have had them said about me. But...yea. #Twenties

23. "Moment I saw them together, my stomach dropped."

You finally sleep with the guy, and he sleeps with someone the next day. Story of my life. Also story of my life, acknowledging that something is not serious and then feeling serious about it. Sex and feelings. Happens to everyone. Being 20-Something doesn't shut those off. Yes, my penis has a mind, but it also has a heart. *Sigh* #BeenThere #MostMenArePigs

24. Diana...that necklace is a lot of look girl.

Here's a pic...cause it happened!

25. The Coverup

I had the task of covering up for a friend after he got drunk on Halloween and didn't show up to work. Luckily, we worked for a start-up and everyone was pretty much drunk.

26. The Two Second Fight At The Coffee Station

Via tvland.com

One person is clearly in the wrong, plays the blame game, comes to his/her/their senses, makes a joke about how the person your boo thang is sleeping with looks like a cow, and the two of you move on. Just your run of the mill co-worker/friend relationship.

27. "Sorry. I was drunk..."

I'll add that to my list of excuses. Oh, wait. I already did and crossed it off. Yea, doesn't work. But, maybe Kels gets off the hook because the author totally wants to get off with her. #TooMuch?

28. People don't show up randomly at your door step anymore

Via tvland.com

Maybe Josh texted Liza beforehand? I tried doing this once as an act of romance and almost got a restraining order. That said, it is Josh. He can sit on my stoop whenever he wants.

29. Final Thought: #Hilary2016
