This show is absolutely one of the stupidest things I have ever seen yet it is incredibly funny and insightful. It's not just a brain dead spoof show. The creators have put a lot of thought into the concept and execution. The cast included.
It may seem a little extreme but who hasn't faced some of these emotions and felt that their world was going to end. People naturally have a tendency to overreact. All they have done is turned it into a literal representation. Each episode I find myself relating to his angst and uncertainty. It's ridiculous but comically realistic.
And don't be confused into thinking it's a laugh riot as the humour is more intelligent than that. It won't be for everyone but everyone should be able to relate.

I insist that people that don't enjoy this show simply don't understand it, or are irrevocably too old to ever enjoy it properly.
The show grapples with the normal complications associated with dating in your 20s, but with gigantic exaggerated versions of every minute obstacle that one faces. A simple issue is represented by an extreme exemplification of itself in that every aspect of social awkwardness is transformed into a seemingly real horror show. It's brutally hysterical, as long as you are the right age to understand it. Maybe impossible to get into if you're older than 40.
single and just out of college? this program knows what you might be going through and turns it into totally absurd comedy satire

People tend to write exaggerated things about shows they love, so when others watch it they get frustrated by the bench mark set. this show is not friends or will and grace or seinfeld. its something new. it is very creative. it doesn't drop the ball and make you lose interest after a while. some how , really don't know how, but some how found a way not to be repetitive or boring even though it was just about dating. guess its stuff we see in other people with a huge magnifying glass thats wha the show did for me. try it. this was all i had to say but unfortunately IMDb requires more lines in order for me to submit. and here you go.
Man seeking woman is definitely a surprise. For those of us who rejoice with absurd humour we are in for a treat. The story does not seem to follow a real story and might not make you burst out in laughter, but it will make you, for sure, comment to your friends and family about it. Some of the ideas are so damn ludicrous you eventually get hooked to it. Besides, some of the ideas you will see in here will have previously crossed your mind in several occasions, it's funny because you will see them in an actual show and think: "hey, i once thought of that! I am not such a weirdo after all!". Well... thats cute. Yes you are. So am i. And so is this show.So now let's enjoy it.
As soon as you watch the first few minutes of this show, you know you are watching something different. At first, I thought this was a modern day Walter Mitty, but it is more than that. The action does not take place in the head of the main character, Josh. The absurd happenings actually take place--in reality.
It does not take long to fall into the imaginative world of "Man Seeking Woman". Now, after four episodes, I am happily ensconced in Josh's (Jay Baruchel) wacky world.
Initially, the action revolves around Josh's attempts to find success on the social scene after breaking up with his girlfriend. He is totally inept, but he keeps trying. His best friend Mike (Eric Andre) is little help because he is a playa and a user (of women).
The story lines feel like an extended SNL skit--a good skit. I recommend the show, but be warned that it is edgy and definitely not PC.
Update 2/13/15: After the "cupid" episode guest starring Minka Kelly, I am upgrading my vote to an 8. The humor is consistent and, well, badass.
Update 3/14/16: I am increasing my grade to 9, because this show is consistently funny episode to episode like only the best comedy shows of all time. A wonderful blend of creativity and imagination.
