Is it believable that Frasier got all those beautiful women?

I didn't find him very good looking. He was overweight and noticeably balding. His hair in the first couple of seasons was terrible (though that mullet thing may have been the style back in the early 90s, idk). Is it really believable that he got all those beautiful women, including models? I don't think he ever dated someone who was actually in his league looks wise.

Maybe it was because he had money and fame? Or was he actually an attractive guy and I'm somehow the only one who doesn't see it?

I think Kelsey Grammer was very good looking as a very young man, but by the time he hit middle age, not so much.

Well looks aren't everything. To be fair Frasier came across charming and sophisticated and was always very respectful towards the women he pursued.

Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!

He seemed more obnoxious and full of himself than charming. I couldn't stand his personality much. Especially in later seasons.

I was almost kind of thinking the same thing. I usually see good looking women with good looking dudes. Frasier is a TV show.

[–] blakgard 8 years ago

I think he was attractive enough. I see a lot of (imo) homely looking men with beautiful women. Generally, I think women are attracted to other things besides looks (personality or money, generally). Frasier was selfish, but was highly educated, quite likeable, and put on airs.

Yes, all of that is somewhat true, but Frasier was not dating hat check girls, if you know what I mean. They were well to do in their own right.

IMO, he was not attractive.

"Frasier was not dating hat check girls"---women do not like to date men who are less successful than they are. Remember how embarrassed Roz was when she went out with that garbage man? You could hardly see some billionaire heiress dating a janitor, could you? Face it, women are more attracted to men who are "ugly" and successful than handsome and poor.

I found it a bit unbelievable,that nearly every one of them slept with him on their first date.

[–] hubcap18 8 years ago

Average joe guys being with beautiful out-of-their league women is a sitcom trope.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, The King of Queens, Seinfeld, 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter, According to Jim, Modern Family, and many more.

Come to think of it, "average" might be being too kind.

I don't think he was overweight, just a bit flabby but all that can be fixed with a training program to include weights....and stop eating all that crap from Europe plus North America, Central America...give it a French name, he & Niles would devour raw eggs.

I don't think he was attractive or handsome or any of that...he did have charm and the voice of what we would think for Fabio. He was always pompous. Arrogant. Know it all. Imperious. Ostentatious. Pretentious. etc etc And he loved to talk about himself & Harvard.

What really turned me off for him is his begging for sex routine. Oh please...give me another chance. 'whimper' OH BOO HOO BOO HOO And when he started dating the famous & rich tall lawyer, he became a pussy.

He is the same kinda' guy as Alan Harper, only rich.

He literally did whimper when Honey Snow denied him sex. Lol.

The woman married to Gene Simmons, hahaha.

Did you notice that Frasier tired of his paramours once he slept with them? He went on a fault finding mission rather quickly.

Modern Family? I would say Phil's a good looking guy, and Claire's not out of his league at all. They're both about equal in terms of attractiveness. Unless you were talking about her father who married a woman half his age...but then he's not necessarily unattractive, just older.

[–] khowefl 8 years ago

Are you kidding? Phil is one thousand times uglier than claire. She was hot and he was very average.

Maya55555 - He didn't bag and shag all of them. He would make some lame excuse as to why they were not compatible. And then on his way.

Plus Frasier was a hypocrite. He always claimed he had sex with only those that had a future with him. We all know that's a lie.

[–] macasey66 8 years ago

Yeah, RaimeyD, that last one irritated me. It was obvious that the same writers did not write all the shows. The lack of continuity bugged me. Frasier would bang almost anything that moved. And then would get razzed by the others for being "celibate", and not being able to "get a date", WTF??

No, not believable.

There are some women (many?) who would go out with someone just because they are a "doctor".

But as you correctly pointed out, he was overweight, balding. Also, he worked on an AM radio station (hardly a high-prestige job).

[–] macasey66 8 years ago

I disagree that Frasier was overweight. Kenny and Norm from Cheers were overweight. Besides, not all of us like skinny guys.

[–] kds-lcos 8 years ago

He could get women...he just could not keep them.

When Cheers ended he had a beard and looked better with it. He wanted to keep it but the producers asked him to shave it because John Mahoney. The guy playing his father is only 14 years older and they needed a visible age difference.

The guy playing his father is only 14 years older and they needed a visible age difference.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that John Mahoney was only in his early 50s when the show premiered. It might just be the white hair, but I thought he was actually old enough to be Frasier's dad - the character was nearly 10 years older than the actor.

The balding did make Frasier look quite a bit older though. His skin actually didn't age that much from his start on Cheers to the beginning of this show, but he looked a lot older in 1993 than 1984 because of the hair loss.

[–] macasey66 8 years ago

I didn't like the beard.

He is ugly as hell. That was one of the largest goofups in the show. Him and niles getting all of these beautiful women was completely unbelievable. It was completely ridiculous. However maybe that was part of the humor of the show. Who knows.

[–] macasey66 8 years ago

I disagree. I thought that they were both cute. And I didn't think that all of the women were all that hot (not gonna name names). I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder...

Him and niles getting all of these beautiful women

What beatiful women did Niles get??? Maris, Poppy .... The woman from the escort service was hot, though.

"""What beatiful women did Niles get???"""

Niles briefly dated a gorgeous woman named Adelle Chiles he met a singles bar that Roz told him about. She was stolen away by a Niles clone named Rodney who dumped Daphne for Adelle Chiles. .

Daphne was beautiful right?
