Rules of Engagement / int_129749df	comment	All Men Are Perverts: Russell in particular. While he's typically drawn to 20-something blondes, he will pursue any woman regardless of age and looks that gets his attention or if he's just bored and has nothing better to do.

Adam proposing to Jennifer in restaurants so they can get free food despite having been engaged for a while. Even when Jennifer gets tired of doing it and storms out, it still works because the waiter feels sorry for Adam.

Rules of Engagement / int_561dab6b	comment	Mistaken for Gay: Happens to Adam when Jennifer buys him a messenger bag that looks like a purse, much to Russell's amusement. In another episode, Adam is mistaken for gay because he goes to a sports bar to watch a game and orders a girly cocktail instead of a more manly drink. This causes an actual gay man to start hitting on him. Sort of a running gag with Russell. Somehow, he manages to be "paired" up with Timmy. In one episode, Timmy falls for a woman who is attracted to musicians, so Russell teaches him a song on guitar so Timmy can serenade her (in reality, Russell is setting Timmy up to humiliate himself). When Timmy starts performing the song and doing horrible=y, Russell feels bad and joins him on stage to try and salvage the performance. This gesture does not win over the woman Timmy likes; it just causes her to think that Timmy and Russell are a gay couple. Jeff and Audrey catch Russell walking out of an auditorium after a theatre show, making Jeff tease him about being a Gay Theater Geek. Then we find out that the woman he'd gone with was highly convinced that he was gay, and his willingness to go and watch a play with her had "confirmed" it. Jeff teases Russell about this for the rest of the episode.

Rules of Engagement / int_565106b3	comment	Women Are Wiser: Played straight with Adam and Jennifer. With Jeff and Audrey, however, it's not as clear cut. Although Jeff is less cultured and refined than Audrey (due to him being uninterested in things like theater and art), he's no dummy and it's been shown from time to time that he's pretty evenly-matched with Audrey when it comes to being clever and manipulative. This is probably best seen in the episode "Atlantic City" where Jeff and Audrey spend the entire episode trying to expose each others' lies. In the end, it comes to a draw.

But when Audrey invites Jennifer to go to a spa weekend on the same day, Jennifer ditches Adam in a heartbeat and feels no guilt over it. In "Hard Day's Night," Jeff gets aroused when Jennifer massages a pulled muscle. He's embarrassed and proceeds to avoid Audrey until it goes away. When Audrey later finds out from Jennifer what happened, she yells at Jeff, but during this, she says she doesn't want Jeff to be honest about situations like these and expects him to keep them from her. Jeff points out that that is exactly what he did, yet is still being yelled at.

She suggests they try some bondage, and he eagerly agrees, getting Chained to a Bed... at which point she promptly ransacks his stuff, robbing him blind and cheerfully leaving him there. Turns out, she's pulled this stunt on multiple men, and goes after the married ones specifically since they can't report it without explaining to the cops (and their wives) what, exactly, they were doing in a hotel room with her.

They snark and constantly take shots at one another but in the end, they love one another and have been together for over 10 years. Jeff and Brenda, the woman who is being a surrogate mother for his and Audrey's children. They get along pretty well once they bond, but they snark at each other's expense all the time.
