Why come Steve did not introduce Myra to another nerdy guy

[Neutronman67]

Myra thought that steve was the only nerdy guy for her but he was not she was just desperate she even pretended to be interested in polka to get him to reject his dream for laura and put his heart and soul into her, steve urkel gave up his girlfriend who was into bugs and science like him in season 2 they had good chemistry but for some odd reason he introduces her to some jerk jock at school, why come steve did not do the same thing for Myra he should have introduced her to eddy or waldo haraldo faldo heck weasel would have been a perfect match for myra lol.

"Why come" you go take a nap?

Easy answer: Steve probably TRIED to do it off screen, but Myra was just TOO OBSESSED with him, just like Steve was too obsessed with Laura to move on to someone else.

Myra made herself TOO TOO easy by chasing after him, being needy and clingy, and most men that I know don't find that attractive. Women are not supposed to chase after a man, going after a man. It's the man's job to do that. I know that you think that it's a good thing, but in real life, it's not a good thing. I was in Myra's shoes. I used to like this guy very much, and I accepted him like he was, and we both like the same things, and I used to do the same things that Myra did. Stalking him, chasing him, going after him, and everything. I did that until one day, he called me and said that he met somebody else, and then a year later, he MARRIED that person. Yeah, Myra accepted Steve as he was, but chasing after him, wanting to **** him, being obsessed with him turned Steve off. Yeah he went steady with Myra only because Myra demanded him to, not because he wanted to. Yes he find her attractive just like he find Laura attractive, but he likes Laura more because of the challenge. Laura didn't chase Steve, being obsessive and jealous and possessive like Myra was, and Laura didn't make herself easy and available like Myra. That's why Steve married Laura. Don't no man want no easy woman whether if she's pretty or not, whether if she like the same things as he does or not. Myra probably pretend to like polka and cheese just to get with Steve.

Nicole, I DO agree with you on Myra making herself TOO EASY in season 5, especially in "Like a Virgin," when she really did try to force her body on Steve (have sex with him), especially in the locker scene at the end. However, after season 5's "Nunsense," Myra calmed down a lot when she realized her mistake of drawing Steve naked nearly split them up for good, and she was well behaved up until the final season, when the writers regressed her development after Steve got his makeover, but again, that was STEVE'S fault for clinging to his kindergarten crush, which was completely unrealistic and would never occur in real life - I've said it before and I'll say it again, in real life, Steve would have given up on Laura before he was even in high school. Anyway, back on topic, the reason Myra was against his makeover was because she was afraid Laura would finally see Steve the way she sees him and steal him away from her, and Myra's fear was realized, as Laura did take Steve back from her.

[nicole7477]

Well, Steve didn't make himself over for Laura, and Laura DID NOT steal Steve away from Myra. Steve left on his own. I'm going to say this again. I think that the Steve and Laura union is legit. I don't know why you are SO against their union. Again, Steve's makeover has NOTHING to do with Laura. What the writers should've done is have Steve and Laura together after the Dream Date episode, then it will be more realistic in my opinion. They should've gotten together together at the end of Season 7 instead of having a Steve clone changed into Stephan. That's my opinion.

Steve led Myra on to the point where even though he went steady with Myra, his heart was still yearning for Laura. Yes, she calm down a lot, but it's only because they went steady, and she demanded it. She was the one that told him to be loyal to her, not him. If somebody doesn't love you, move on, and that's what Myra should've done, but she FORCED her way to Steve, and you can't do that. They either want you or they don't.


You may not think that it will happen in real life but it does. I know some guys who marry their kindergarten crushes even though their crushes didn't want them AT FIRST. This DOES happen in real life. I saw it.

I just want to ask you one question. Why are you SO against Steve and Laura?

[rpm31]

I know Steve probably did not make himself over to win Laura's heart, but that probably did get Laura to notice him more. Also, you just said that if someone doesn't return your feelings for you, move on, but you were referring to Myra forcing herself on Steve, yet it was okay for Steve to continue pining over Laura his whole life? Steve never moved on either, he just pretended to, and as a lucky side effect, it got Laura jealous so she fell in love with him at the end.

[nicole7477]

Ok, Steve was wrong for forcing feelings on Laura just like Myra was wrong for forcing her feelings on Steve, so they were both equally wrong. Yes, Laura noticed the change. I think that it's for the better. Who wants to still wear suspenders at 20-21 years old? It's showing Steve growing up. Steve was still a nerd though. Laura got jealous because she likes Steve. It wasn't the first time that she was jealous either. I think that she been like Steve but was too caught up on her popularity status at the time, more like the Valley Girl dating a man from the wrong side of the town.

You didn't answer my question. Why are you so against the Steve and Laura union?

[nicole7477]

Thank you for explaining yourself. Yes, Laura treated him like crap in the beginning. I agree with you for that. But she did change in late seasons. I think that Steve and Laura should've start dating a little earlier than Season 9, then it wouldn't be such beef towards that union. Yes, Steve and Myra were in happy dates for 4 years, but Steve's heart was still towards Laura. In Seasons 1 and 2, you have to remember Laura was a teenaged girl who was popular in school, dating the most handsomest, athletic guys in school, and don't want to ruin her reputation dating a nerd like Steve. She was a young girl, so you can't use what she did as a young girl and apply it in her adult life. Laura was meant to him, but even before Season 9, I just have that gut feeling that Steve and Laura will end up together even if Myra was in the picture, and this was back in the early to mid 90s that I had that feeling. To tell you the truth, I don't like Myra. She's a pretty girl, but she's also a pushy, arrogant, possessive, jealous clingy, needy woman, and I don't like that. Laura on the other hand was sure of herself. She's pretty, she's smart, she's confident in herself, but she did have a bad taste in men who only want to have sex with her. She better be lucky that Steve is with her now, because he would've left her a long time ago.

You personally may not like the Steve/Laura pairing and that's OK, but I do, and I will not change that.

[rpm31]

I can't think of a single reason for Laura being the one for Steve though, other than Steve being unable to get over his obsession with her to the point that he's permanently damaged as far as being able to return romantic feelings for other women who may truly love him for who he is (such as Myra, and even before Myra, there were probably others in his school who would have been happy to date him). I guess in that weird way, though, it may have been for the best that Laura got Steve and not Myra, because he would have continued to mistreat Myra. Poor Myra though, she's probably permanently damaged as far as being able to return romantic feelings for other men who may truly love her for who she is, and she'll most likely end up old and alone. As I've mentioned in another post, Steve's cousin Myrtle was probably the most lucky one out of the three main stalkers in love on FM, as she was the only one to actually get OVER her obsessive crush.

[nicole7477]

True, but I still think that Laura was the one for Steve. She's pretty, she's smart. She's level-headed. Yes she treated him like crap, but that's when she was younger. Why can't you see that? What makes you think that she's not the one for Steve? If you think it's because of how she treated him in junior high and high school, then I disagree with you. You have to realize that people do change as they get older. You can't have that same superficial thinking at 21 that you did at 13, 14, 15, and 16. The Bible says that when I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became an adult, I put away childish things. So you can't judge Laura based on how she treated Steve in her youth. I still say that they make a good pair, and I will not change my views.

To the mis-guided woman who stated that men DON'T like women that chase after them (the chasing is "the man's job) you couldn't be more incorrect and wrong. You were so wrong on so many levels that I just don't know where to start. First of all, whether you are a man or a woman, if you see someone you are strongly attracted to, it is your "job" to let them know you are both interested AND available. If you wait until he or she notices you, someone who is a lot more direct and aggressive will take your man. Also, many men prefer to deal with a woman who is NOT a challenge. So many men prefer a pretty woman that would chase them and make themselves very easily available. There are 3 kinds of people in life: those that WATCH things happen, those that MAKE things happen, and those that ask "What Happened??" Your comments make it clear which 2 of the 3 comments you reccommend. So in conclusion women, go after your man and make yourself as easily available as possible. Or miss out by playing un-readable mind games like: I want YOU, but you chase ME.

[nicole7477]

Well that's not how nature works. If you see the animal kingdom, the male animal chases and conquers the female animal, not the other way around. Animals are no different than people. You may think that it's ok for a woman to chase a man, but in reality, MOST MEN DON'T LIKE IT! Times may change, but men never change their views when it comes to women. Yes they don't mind it for a while, but then the men will hit it and bounce, and go to another woman who doesn't make herself TOO TOO available, needy, clingy, and desperate. Most men want a woman who's not too needy, clingy, desperate, obssessive, possessive. It's not attractive no matter how she looks. Men put too much emphasis on a woman's looks more than what's inside. I know that men are visuals, but some men take it too far.

[Neutronman67]

That's not true their are Alot of desperate guy's that would like a lady like Myra Monkhouse to chase them like she did to Steve Urkel, i have seen men at nightclubs they get needy and clingy and try to compete with each other guys to get the woman to go out on a date with them they usually get on the Womans nerves like Steve trying to win over Laura with his wacky inventions they usually end up getting slapped, punched in the face, yelled at, have drinks thrown at them for being perverted and creepy, and last but not least rejected in a way similar to poor Steve Urkel on the fictional sitcom Family Matters hahahahahaha lol.

[nicole7477]

True, but I still don't think that it's good for a woman to chase a man. I guess I'm old fashioned, and plus, I'm a Christian. The Bibles says that a MAN that finds a wife finds a good thing. Yeah, they wouldn't mind a Myra or a Laura to chase them, BUT in a long run, that man is not going to take them seriously for a long term relationship, and it doesn't matter how a woman looks. If a man just want to hit it, of course they wouldn't mind a woman chasing a man if their mind is focusing on smashing them, but when they want to settle down, get serious, and get married, they are not going to choose a woman that chases them to death. It didn't work then, and it doesn't work now. Men are wired to be hunters and chasers. It's a biological fact.
