They were in their early 30s canonically. Joey was the youngest one and he was in his late 20s.
All the actors were in their late 30s though.
At the start of the show they were all in their mid 20s
It was a plot point in one ep. that they all turned 30 some time(s) AFTER the show started.
You’re both wrong. Only Joey turned 30 after the show started. Everyone else was already in their 30s.
No they weren't, what the frick are you talking about? Rachel had an episode in the early 2000s that was focused on her turning 30, the show started in 94.
You’re thinking of a flashback
Lose weight
Monica is what, 25, when she's banging that high school senior?
They explain away Monica and Rachels apartment but what never gets addressed is how the FRICK Chandler can afford this all by himself given Joey never gets a job until like halfway through the show.
Based and tadpolepilled.
Sorry, replied it the wrong thread to the wrong post.
How's that even possible?
Not him but I do that every so often.
It's when I've got a couple of tabs open but I'm grooving so hard that I don't even notice I'm in the wrong one when I reply.
Chandler came from a rich family and he had a good job. The real question is why he hangs around with the other losers
All of them comes from a rich family except phoebe and Joey.
Friends and Frasier aren't about middle class average joe, even Seinfeld isn't about average new yorkers
middle class doesnt mean average joe
it means the middle class between the normal average people and the really rich people
Chandler had a high paying job and their apartment looked like shit most of the time.
They barely spent money on food
They just eat mostly fast food time to time but always went to Mon to eat proper food everyday
You would spend way more on food if you're ordering take-out on a daily basis than if you did regular grocery shopping.
Not in the 90's. Dollar menu was king.
>eating fast food every day costs less than buying groceries
only NEETs or delusional fatties believe this
I'm too lazy but look up a picture of Chandler's office. His job is definitely not as insignificant as you are made to believe whenever they talk about it on the show.

Jesus, she looks like my grandma now. Thanks anon, you just made some previous faps really awkward in hindsight
Fapping to tv personalities feels wrong to me. On top of the shame that goes along with typical masturbation, there's this gnawing sense of guilt for having committed some form of sacrilege.
Don't mind if I do!
Doofybros we won
Young Courtney Cox is one of the hottest women in Cinemaphile history
nah you are
We're aware.
It's a tv show.
>this is how middle class 20 something people lived in NYC in the 90s
It wasn’t tho?
30s are new 20s, 20s are new teens
>30s are new 20s, 20s are new teens
True though
No it isn't its extreme cope. People are refusing to grow up and do anything with their lives and blame it on me economy. People aren't having kids because they're scared to stop being teenagers not because they're poor. Poor people have had no problem having kids forever. Women want to suck thousands of wieners, most men can't live up to it and they'd rather stay at home watching Rick and morbius with their funkos. Then the prostitutes age out and panic as they wall and Mr rick is too busy spending his cuckbux on sweatflix
I think you need to jam more buzzwords into there anon, it seems a little light
Cope seethe and dilate chudlet we live in a society rise updog
Better, but what’s updog?
updog balls gottem
>People aren't having kids because they're scared to stop being teenagers not because they're poor.
you're not wrong about adult babies being a thing but you're genuinely moronic if you think economic factors aren't part of the problem
>economic factors
possibly the most moronic post on Cinemaphile
go yell at a cloud old man
So i was right...?
Do I know you
I think he means it in a bad way, as in society is stalling peoples development and you end up living like 15 year old at 29.
I just found out that David Schwimmer is only 6'1", I thought he was like 6'5"
I'm always surprised when anyone in a Cinemaphile thing who looks...not short turns out to be actually 6 foot plus.
In 2023 it costs $2,850pm to live in the building where they shot Travis' apartment in the east village.
On average NY cabbies make $3,776.17pm in 2023
These numbers were actually more reasonable than I was expecting but I figured I'd post anyway because I already did the research. You probably could afford to live like Travis in 2023 with the 926.17pm you've got left over after rent.
New York has undergone extreme gentrification over the past few decades. Demand overall and in formerly awful neighborhoods has skyrocketed.
That's not that reasonable when you factor in all the other costs of living, and you have to just kind of accept you're never going to retire
>You probably could afford to live like Travis in 2023 with the 926.17pm you've got left over after rent.
lolno. Was that $3.7k before or after taxes? And what about gas and repair work on the car? Hell, parking the fricking thing in Manhattan overnight is going to eat up that $900/mo
They made fun of them having such nice apartments way back in the 90s too.
It's fiction
>blah blah rent-controlled blah blah grandma's-apartment blah
It's absolute poppywiener. Phoebe was a hooker with a high-class clientele.
Phoebe never lived in that apartment tho. This is Phoebe's apartment.
Man furniture looked like shit back then
Phoebe lived their before the show.
>this is how middle class 20 something people lived in NYC in the 90s
Living in a small apartment isn't the brag you think it is. Granted it's better than my conditions.
That’s the point anon, those are huge apartments by NY standards and therefore too expensive for the characters
I don't want to blame it all on 9/11 but it certainly didn't help
>they're all white
This is problematic...
Joey, phoebe and rachel were suppposed to be straight poor, at least the first half of the show
Its not realistic, moronbro
Phoebe wasn't middle class.
Friends popularised causal sex. Frick that degenerate show.
Rachel invented sex
Yeah, no casual sex in Cheers in the 80s. Or even Golden Girls.
Yes the 60s and 70s never happened.
Only in Hollywood could this be considered the “homely” friend. I guess what I’m trying to say is “would,” if you appreciate the implication
I completely understand.
Had a Bat Mitzvah. She ain't blonde.
We're aware.
In a show with 11s, the 9s fall off considerably. That said Lisa did and does have considerable fan appeal as she had the largest chest.
Yes that wasn't sex and the city, it was fricking friends.
>israelited show for goysloppers
Cinemaphile never disappoints
>I'm a special snowflake
No, you aren't.
Socialism fell, fight between the systems ended --> Capitalism didn't need to pretend to care about the people any more --> The rich got richer --> People accepted it because "trickle down" would come --> It didn't --> Today
We have to go back
Can't. What a bummer.
was always a mid skeleton
Her face is too thin. Works well when you're young but walls you very soon. Fat face without jowls is the actual genetic win for women.
How many of you have a friend group like this?
I did for a few years but it could never last, people move around too much
