Seinfelds Elaine Hilariously Dated Some of the Worst Guys

Each character on the hit show Seinfeld has specific traits that make them entertaining to watch. For example, Jerry and Kramer’s overly dramatic responses provided endless opportunities for comedic hijinks. One interesting trait for Elaine is her horrible dating choices and the fact that she will often change herself to keep these guys around. Not only is it funny in a general sense, but she also comments directly on the societal expectation of women to just accept men who aren’t up to their standard, representing women while also maintaining a humorous tone to her character.

While it’ll will never rank among the strongest relationships in TV history, Elaine did have one consistent boyfriend in the series. David Puddy and Elaine might have been on-and-off, but David seemed to accept Elaine the most for being herself even though she sometimes struggled to return the favor. One particular episode where David’s personality is a problem for Elaine is in Season 6, Episode 22, “The Face Painter,” when David paints his face for a hockey game. She considers breaking up with him over this, but then he agrees to stop painting his face for her, which is a sweet moment. He earns Elaine’s approval by doing this, and Elaine also learns her lesson of letting him be himself.

Most of her other boyfriends in the show aren’t as nice and end up teaching Elaine much harsher lessons. One particularly difficult relationship for her was with Dr. Reston, a psychiatrist who overanalyzed her behavior. Elaine struggled with accepting herself in the show, and this psychiatrist almost preyed on that aspect of her. She tried to break up with him multiple times and even got Kramer to pose as her boyfriend, but Reston maintained his manipulative games to force her to continue their relationship. This dynamic could have quickly turned more terrifying than funny, but Elaine learned how to stand up for herself and not just be a pawn in his manipulative games.

A rather funny connection for Elaine is when she dates The Maestro. The rest of the gang doesn’t like him, especially because he doesn’t allow anyone to call him by his actual name. He prefers to be addressed by his professional title. Elaine goes all in with this relationship, becoming a fan of classical music and engaging in the rather narcissistic focus of his status as a conductor. After jumping through hoops to gain his approval, Elaine eventually realizes she actually doesn’t like him or his insistence on calling himself The Maestro, so they break things off.

Another funny relationship for Elaine is when she dates Tony, the younger man with good looks. The gang makes fun of her for dating him as his personality doesn’t have much substance. Elaine cannot see it and just enjoys being around him. The same goes for George as he tries to win over Tony’s affections by going rock-climbing with him. In the end, Tony gets into an accident and has to bandage his face. Elaine realizes she never really liked his personality and just liked his appearance, so she breaks things off in a hilariously cold way, proving to the audience how little the connection meant to her.

The biggest relationship in Elaine’s life is actually never shown on screen, but her connection with Jerry does ultimately change the course of her life forever. They stayed friends after their break-up, and she revolves much of her life around him and their friends. They get along, and there’s even a funny moment in the final episodes of the series as their plane is crash landing where Jerry tells her he needs to confess something important, making the audience (and Elaine) think he’s going to confess his love. He doesn’t, and they quickly move on when he dismisses Elaine’s question about what he was going to say. Elaine goes with the flow where Jerry is concerned, and their dynamic makes for a funny connection on screen and adds to the meta-storyline of the series.
