Suit Up!

Barney is known for the suits he wears.  Not only does he wear suits when he goes out with is friends, Barney even has a suit made of silk to wear to bed as pajamas (shown below).  He does not think any man should ever be seen not wearing a suit.  He is constantly calling Ted and Marshall, telling them to "suit up" and to meet him at the bar.  He thinks suits will help both him and his friends get women.  Barney thinks women can be fooled, simply by seeing a man is wearing a suit.  Barney has no other reason to wear suits, other than to pick up women.  In one episode, Barney imagines himself in a musical, meant for men trying to pick up girls, and meant for girls he is trying to pick up.  The musical was entitled "Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit." Barney is more in love with suits than he is with women, probably because he thinks the suits help him get more women.

Barney's Past

During episode 15 of season one, Barney admits to the group why he always wears a suit and tie.  Barney explains a past relationship he was in with a girl named Shannon.  He and Shannon were madly in love, planning on going to Nicaragua to participate in the Peace Corps program together.  Right before Shannon and Barney were supposed to leave, Shannon told Barney her father would not let her go with him.  Barney then left to go to Nicaragua by himself, only to come back and find Shannon making out with a clean cut alpha-male in a suit.  This guy was rich, and it was obvious by his appearance.  Barney then decided to cut his hair, clean up, get a job, and wear a suit all the time.  Below is a picture of the old Barney, and Shannon.

"Sweet Taste of Liberty"

In the third episode of the first season of How I Met You Mother, Barney and Ted took a trip to the airport to try to score women.  Barney spotted two attractive women across the baggage claim, and decided it would be a great idea for him and Ted to follow them.  They ended up following these two girls onto the airplane, thinking they were going to go home with them and sleep with them that night.  They soon found out these two girls were dating Baltimore Ravens linebackers.  Barney and Ted deserved to waste their money on this plane flight, it was awful that they thought they could follow these women home. This is one of the many examples of how big of a womanizer Barney is, and why any feminist would be likely to despise him.

Hot/Crazy Relationship

In the picture below, Barney Stinson is explaining to his friends what level of crazy is appropriate for a woman's hotness.  He explains that the hotter the woman, the crazier she is allowed to be. Barney does not care much about the Hot.Crazy Scale, but he uses this in order to help Ted when choosing a woman to date.

Introduction

Parents are known for telling dull, uninteresting stories.  The ultimate storytelling father stars in the hit television comedy, How I Met Your Mother.  Ted Mosby, the narrator and main character of How I Met Your Mother, spends countless hours explaining an extremely in depth story to his daughter and son on how he met their mother.  He includes every necessary detail, along with some stories that are completely irrelevant to his journey to meet their mother.  There are many aspects of this television comedy that drew me to become an avid fan of the show.  The relationship Ted has with his four friends is something I would love to have with my friends in the future.  The passion Ted has for telling his two children the complete story of how he met their mother is also intriguing to me, even though I still do not know who the mother is. 

While Ted is determined to tell his children the best love story of all time, Barney could not have more opposite ambitions and expectations out of life.  Barney is the womanizer of the bunch; he sleeps with a new woman a couple times a week.  He recently slept with his 200^th woman. Although Barney likes to have most of the women to himself, he is always trying to be a successful “wingman” for Ted.  He walks up to attractive women at bars, taps them on the shoulder and says to them, “Have you met Ted?” and walks away, leaving Ted the opportunity to talk to the attractive woman.  This blog will be discussing the anti-feminist actions of Barney Stinson, one of Ted Mosby's best friends.


According to dictionary.com, a feminist is a man or woman (for the most part woman) advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men. A majority of my posts are going to relate to the fact that Barney Stinson is a complete anti-feminist.  I would strongly recommend watching this television show, even if you are a feminist.  Barney's actions are incredibly low and immature, just ridiculous enough to be entertaining
