Jim and Pam
Iâve seen a few different girls mention that they are âlooking for their Jim Halpertâ on their dating profiles. I was a huge fan of the Office, but I always found it painful to watch that side plot with Jim and Pam. Iâll explain why, and why no guy will ever say âIâm looking for a girl like Pam Beesleyâ
When the show begins, Pam (the secretary) is engaged to a lunkhead in the warehouse named Roy. Their engagement goes on for years and years, and heâs framed as someone who is selfish, uncaring, and using Pam.
In comes Jim Halpert, a mid-level salesman with low ambition. He secretly pines for Pam from a far, and Pam pretends not to notice while basking in the attention. Weâre not supposed to see Pam as someone who is selfish, uncaring, and using Jim.
Weâre supposed to root for the two of them to get together? Why?
Throughout the seasons, Jim professes his love, kisses her, and reaches a boiling point to get shot down. It bothers him so much, he relocates to a different branch.
When googling Pam Beesley sucks, there seems to be a troop of people co-signing my sentiments here, and mentioning other ways in which this character sucks.
This article mentioned a great plot point I forgot about. âJim then has the opportunity to grab Jan Levinson's job at NY corporate due to his friendship with David Wallace, but decides that he loves Pam and returns to Scranton.â
This is the when the Jim and Pam storyline became unbearable.
Jim should have accepted defeat, started a higher paying position in his company. If he wasnât a pussy, or a cuck, he would have made that happen for himself, and everything you see the dude doing after this is painful to watch.
Jim returns dating Rasheeda Jones and Pam immediately cockblocks and ruins the relationship for him. Then instead of getting into a relationship, she throws Jim under the bus.
Pam decides to confess to Roy that she kissed Jim (who knows how long after the kiss actually happened). Pam then DUMPS ROY for being angry that she CHEATED ON HIM! Pam doesnât predict that Roy would be overly angry with the news, even after being with him for quite a long time and knowing his personality. Pam doesnât predict that Roy would want to fight Jim, and does not give Jim a heads up that she had this discussion with Roy. Roy charges at an off-guard Jim. Everything about this paragraph is selfish, inconsiderate bullshit.
Jim then encourages Pam to go to art school, only so she can discover she sucks and no one cares. She quits, and goes home with her tail between her legs. She tricks her way into an administrator position, and then somehow becomes a salesperson without any prior training.
Pam sucks as a person. Thereâs nothing interesting about her. She has a C- level art talent, and zero drive or ambition. Sheâs always unsure and questioning herself. She doesnât think very highly of herself, yet expects very highly for herself. This is why I hated this sub-plot- for the off chance that women tried to mimic her cock-teasing, waste of life energy by watching this show. But then you realize, most women are useless like Pam Beesley. Women that will prevent you from being who you should be, and suck the life out of you.
When Jim decides to start his own business with Daryl, Daryl goes off and enjoys the success of working with athletes and sports, while Jim sucks it up and stays home to support Pam, who refuses to leave Scranton. It would have been two jobs he prevented himself from getting had he not somehow gotten encouragement from Pam.
Everything about this bitch sucks, and it annoys me that weâre supposed to be ok with her behavior. It annoys me that Jim kisses her ass and never calls her on her shit. And I guess this is why all these women want that Jim Halpert, the guy who will sacrifice his life, let his soul get sucked out, give 110% while you give 25% and suck at life.
All of the women on the show sucked, the uptight cat lady that married the gay senator, the ditzy Indian chick who always lied about being pregnant, the neurotic Jan who made Michael her fuck toy and then moved into his place making him get a second job to support her.
It really mirrors real life though, cause women suck in this many ways. Itâs a downer of an article here, but I got really stoned and way deep into analyzing this Office on the comedy central re-reuns.
This guy made a three part series on why she sucks..
