Claire and David. Why? Why not? Does this look like a democracy to you?
This trend has its origins in the Mischa Barton/whoever that half-assed hack "musician" Cisco Adler guy was relationship.
This is not realistic.
In no way will any beautiful, immaculately dressed, made up and preppy fresh-faced cute young girl ever date a guy like the above advertisement unless he was A) Really Rich or B) Really Fucking Rich.

Who the she'd would date in real life.
Instead, Claire up there would be dating Charles, a banker for Credit Suisse who lives on the Upper West Side and makes frequent use of a ZipCar. David, the above scruffy guy - because scruffy artistic guys must go by the name "David" - never shortened to Dave, because that's for frat boys - would be in Bushwick working on yet another 7" single and dating a chubby girl with horn-rimmed glasses who knows that he's cheating on her but she was so sad at Sarah Lawrence that she'll take anything she can get.
Wow. I just painted a really depressing picture of that chubby girl from Sarah Lawrence. I feel bad for my own fictional creation. She should probably go on a diet or something and see a therapist. Oh yes, I know she's already on anti-depressants but maybe they should up the dosage. I think she'd be happier if she went on a nice long vacation and just completely forgot about David, because he's a douche. I mean, his art sucks and his band sounds like the Decemberists if they didn't know how to play their instruments. Or harmonize. Or write good songs.
And did you hear? Claire and Charles got married in Hilton Head last weekend? I know! Alexander was his best man and Eliza and Kimberly did the cutest sketch about their Tri-Delt days! Oh, and I totally hooked up with Claire's aunt. I know, dude. Cougar City! Fist pound it, motherfucker! Yo. You forgot to explode! Boom goes the dynamite.
That guy giving the narration there has a couple different personalities, right? I mean, is he a frat-boy? An artiste? The gay friend of the fat chick from Sarah Lawrence? I'm not quite sure.
