How I Met Your Mother: 10 Best Characters Who Appeared After Season One
4. Quinn Garvey
Barney Stinson dates countless women throughout How I Met Your Mother's run, but aside from Robin, he only ever meets his match when it comes to Quinn. Since Quinn works as a stripper at Barney's usual strip club, she knows all his moves and is able to play him like a fiddle.
After too many lies to count, Barney and Quinn start to date, resulting in more lies. The two prove that they're perfect for each other after deceiving the gang about the nature of their relationship, and move in together. Barney even proposes to Quinn with a lie, as he holds up airport security to reveal an intricate magic trick, which ends in a ring.
Unfortunately, the two are a little too perfect together and end up breaking up since neither is willing to cooperate to make their marriage work. Still, it's endlessly entertaining to watch Quinn scheme and put Barney in his place.
