Rick dating Teri at the end - Just One of the Guys (1985) Discussion

[–] Miss-Cellaneous 15 years ago

I certainly think it would be awkward! As a girl, if I became close friends with a girl at school and then found out she was really a guy, I couldn't wrap my mind around that - or feel anything romantically for him, but that's just me. Very confusing!

After seeing her boobs, I wouldn't feel awkward...not in the least bit

"It's too long" #1 dumbest complaint for a movie not being any good.

Terri was only a "guy" for like two weeks--from the time of writing the article to when the winner of the summer internship was chosen.

Never settle with words what you can accomplish with a flamethrower.

I was more distracted by the fact that Deborah was actually pretty nice and she and Rick seemed to get along really well. She's just sort of dropped after the prom finale. Possibly in real life he would've stayed with her and felt betrayed by Terri. Although, she had bigger cha-chas than Deborah. Maybe that made the decision easier :).

I sure would be confused, but maybe we should all learn to be more open with our sexualities. Everyone's a little bit gay.

Everyone's a little bit gay.

That's over-simplifying the issue. There's a wide spectrum, but some people fall squarely on one end or the other. A good friend of mine is gay, and he has no interest in women whatsoever. I, on the other hand, am straight, and have no interest in men whatsoever. Other friends of mine fall somewhere in between.

I would be confused for a 10th of a second and then realize what wonderful boobs I just saw.

Seriously, did you see her earlier in the movie in that bikini? Yeowza! I have no idea what she looks like today, but she was totally hot back in the day.

Rick already suspected that Terri might be attracted to him or to males in general. He gave Terri confused glances a few times that she said things related to other men and women, and he thought it was peculiar that Terri used her hand and slowly brushed his hair behind his ear when the two of them were alone in the bathroom.
Rick was apparently okay with Terri's sexuality being in question, because it didn't surprise him when he thought Terri was ready to confess to being gay. The only thing he had a problem with was Terri lying about her gender. In the end, he didn't want to lose her friendship. He was flattered that she really cared for him and put him before herself from the beginning. Deborah didn't last because she only paid attention to Rick after his style transformation.

If I were in Rick's shoes, I wouldn't be confused. I would be jumping all over Terri's t!ts.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

It would be a little weird at first, but once Terry went back to looking like she did at the beginning I think I could definitely get over it. Plus didn't Terry go back to her old high school at the end? that's something that would make it easier to get over it.

I really don't think there was anything wrong with Deborah though, she seemed like a genuinely nice person, it's not like she encouraged Greg's behavior or thought it was funny. She didn't seem to like his bullying. Aside from jealousy I don't see what Terry had against her.

I'm sure he was confused - that's why some time passed between Terry's confession and when Rick approached her at her new job. I get the impression that a couple of weeks or so had passed. Rick ostensibly realized he needed time to sort things out in his head. I do kind of feel for Deborah, because she was a pretty nice girl, but Rick presumably didn't have the same closeness with her as he did with Terry.

I feel bad for Deborah too. I wonder how she ultimately got over it?

It would be weird. Your best friend was a girl pretending to be a guy. I don't know. Seems like it would be ackward.
