Editing Moe Szyslak (section)

=== Relationships ===
Moe has an almost non-existent love life due to his vulgarity towards women and his ugly appearance. Despite this, he has had a number of romantic experiences, including sleeping with his waitress Collette,<ref name="flamingmoes2">{{cite episode |title=Flaming Moe's|episode-link=Flaming Moe's |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |credits=Cohen, Robert; Moore, Rich; Smart, Alan|network=Fox |airdate=1991-11-21 |season=3 |number=10}}</ref> dating a woman named Renee,<ref name="dumbbell">{{cite episode |title=Dumbbell Indemnity|episode-link=Dumbbell Indemnity |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |network=Fox }}</ref> and briefly enjoying the company of many women after he had [[plastic surgery]].<ref name="plasticsurg">{{cite episode |title=Pygmoelian|episode-link=Pygmoelian |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |network=Fox }}</ref> He also has a relationship and proposed to a [[Dwarfism|dwarf]] named Maya, but Moe could not adjust to the difference in height, to the point where his ultimate plan to have his own leg bones shortened led Maya to leave him. He has long been infatuated with [[Marge Simpson]], whom he usually calls "Midge", and has on occasion tried to win her away from Homer,<ref name="marge">{{cite episode |title=Secrets of a Successful Marriage|episode-link=Secrets of a Successful Marriage |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |network=Fox }}</ref><ref name="mommie">{{cite episode |title=Mommie Beerest|episode-link=Mommie Beerest |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |network=Fox }}</ref> although later episodes have shown him actively working to keep the two together.<ref name="moho">{{cite episode |title=Moho House|episode-link=Moho House |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |network=Fox }}</ref> He has been romantically involved with [[Edna Krabappel]]<ref name="neverending">{{cite episode |title=The Seemingly Never-Ending Story|episode-link=The Seemingly Never-Ending Story |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |credits=Maxtone-Graham, Ian; Persi, Raymond|network=Fox |airdate=2006-03-12 |season=17 |number=13}}</ref> as well as Marge's sister [[Patty and Selma#Selma Bouvier|Selma Bouvier]]. Moe's romantic attractions have resulted in run-ins with the law; he has stalked [[Maude Flanders]] and other townspeople, he must register as a [[sex offender]], and he has a [[restraining order]] placed upon him. At one point, he is seen on his way to a "[[venereal disease|V.D.]] clinic".<ref name="lostlisa">{{cite episode |title=Lost Our Lisa|episode-link=Lost Our Lisa |series=The Simpsons |series-link=The Simpsons |network=Fox }}</ref> Despite his disturbing approach, Moe has shown to be a caring and devoted lover. While dating Renee (and previously Edna), he wholeheartedly spoiled them with whatever they wanted and vowed to give up his bar and take them away from Springfield forever, even if it means losing his own money and doing illegal acts to make more money. When he thought he finally won Marge's heart, he promised to be "the best man she'd ever had".<ref name="mommie"/>

In "[[Pygmoelian]]", Moe and his three closest friends assess him as a gargoyle with cauliflower ears, lizard lips, little rat eyes, a caveman brow, and a fish snout, who is not pleasant to look at, listen to or be with.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002982/quotes|title=Moe Syzlak quote from 'Pygmoelian', IMDB|website=[[IMDb]] |access-date=2018-06-30|archive-date=2016-10-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161025135059/http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002982/quotes|url-status=live}}</ref>

In "[[The Wayz We Were]]", Maya returns to Springfield, and she and Moe reconnect, but Moe's fear of commitment overpowers him. At Homer's suggestion, Moe proposes to Maya, which she accepts.
