Talk:Leonard and Penny/@comment-26195350-20150531213902

To those people saying how shallow their relationships are, I thought so first but after watching some of season 1, we are wrong!

Penny has come to love Leonard due to his true nature and loyalty to her wellbeing. Her thick-skulled friends have facillated their attraction actually. In season 1, Leonard did do anything for her due to her physical appearance and blatantly showed his desire for "coitus" but always stopped himself. Penny was drunk and just rebrokeup with Zach, and came to Leonard's room to kiss him. Leonard obviously enjoys this but warns Penny of her disposition. Then, Leonard advises her to make up with another one of her boyfriends Mike, though of course, this will stunt their romantic relation. Funnily, he feels he might really just be her "gay friend".

So, although Leonard is attracted to Penny's physical appearance, he really isn't just trying to have sex with her. Penny slowly appreciates this relentless devotion and reacts acordingly.
