Penny is the social glue of these friends. Always quick to offer advice to either Alex or Dave about the ups and downs of dating as she is well-versed in the single dating culture of the new decade. She works for a public relations firm and prides herself on being the most stylish person in the office. Penny and Max have been best friends since college and provide each other a shoulder to lean on.
PENNY'S HAPPY ENDING:
I just want to settle down with a nice guy, I hate the single life.
