9/ But this is presented as Joey's standard greeting to every hot woman ever, not specific to Rachel.

10/ (We can talk about the overall attitude of men on this show to women as sexual objects another time. ?)

11/ But Joey's relationship with Rachel is platonic almost right away. They have a genuine friendship.

12/ He frequently gives her dating advice. (Sometimes questionable af, but, you know. Well-intentioned.)

13/ He sets her up on dates with men he thinks she'll like. He lets her crash the set when he's filming and flirt with soap actors.

14/ Joey has a lot of problems but his supportive, protective relationship with the women friends is one of his best qualities.
— Skaiplana ???? (@kaneandgriffin) August 8, 2017
15/ He genuinely loves them and wants them all to be happy and there's no jealousy in it at all.
— Skaiplana ???? (@kaneandgriffin) August 8, 2017
16/ HE MAKES HER LAUGH.
— Skaiplana ???? (@kaneandgriffin) August 8, 2017
17/ Okay, now contrast this with Ross, who from minute one has labeled Rachel as "his."
— Skaiplana ???? (@kaneandgriffin) August 8, 2017
18/ We're always told that Ross/Rachel was a "friends to lovers" ship but WHAT IS THAT BASED ON??? WHAT FUCKING FRIENDSHIP??

19/ He had a crush on her in high school, so he "claimed" her first, and long after they've broken up he resents every man in her life.

20/ He hides messages from men who call her when they're living together. He's endlessly threatened by the men she dates.
— Skaiplana ???? (@kaneandgriffin) August 8, 2017
21/ He outright sabotages her career WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO THIS POINT because he can't get over his Mark thing.
