In this episode of How I Met Your Mother it is title Hooked referencing the overlying theme that is brought up by the friends. Ted Mosby a hopeless romantic is trying to date a beautiful blonde women named Tiffany who is made extremely attractive to the point that Ted is doing anything for her just to be with her. The problem is that Tiffany already has a boyfriend and seems to be leading Ted along however Ted is blind to the fact because of her “incredible hotness”. The friends explain what being hooked means and that everyone goes through it and your either hooking other or others are hooking you. As Ted get stringed along we see the women that Ted has hooked and how he treats her as a servant abusing her feeling towards him. At the end of the episode Ted comes to his senses and ends everything with Tiffany realizing their is no hope that they would ever be together. In this Gaze Theory is seen as the objectification of people and the reality of situations that often happen in reality. Ted wants Tiffany because she is very attractive and is almost blind to the way he is being treated. Later in the episode Tiffany is hooked by another and is objectified by a guy named Jack who makes her make him food and rub his feet just as Ted did for her.
