Elaine finds Puddy attractive for his masculine qualities, such as his height, his deep voice, and the fact that he works with his hands; early in their relationship, Elaine compares him to Stanley Kowalski. She is turned off by his casual and apparently lackadaisical attitude toward relationships and what she perceives as his odd behaviors, such as face and body painting in support of New Jersey Devils ice hockey games and his love of Arby's. She also finds his religious beliefs problematic, as she herself is not religious. He is unfazed by her lack of faith, and reminds her in his matter-of-fact way that she is going to hell. Puddy is also a recovering germaphobe. He is also known for his catch phrase, "Yeah, that's right," delivered in a dead-pan manner with little or no emotion behind it.
