But just because she was hotter and sexier doesn't mean she's going to get it first? You saw how incredibly shallow she was. It's quite possible that she didn't find anybody she deemed to be good looking enough for her.

Or simply don't judge a book by its cover. Bridget said in one ep that she had never been in a relationship with anyone she loved enough (or in so many words). Just because someone acts the way she does doesn't mean she sleeps around

Thing is, in the first season, theere were several jokes that heavily implied that Bridget really DID have casual sex, though maybe she only had experience with oral sex.

Yeah and she was planning to have sex with Donny Doyle...

As embarrassed as I am to say this, in high school I was a lot like Bridget and my older (ironic, I know) sister was similar to Kerry. Even though I was boy crazy and I wore revealing clothes I wish I wouldn't have, I was a virgin until I was 19 and a sophomore in college. My sister lost her virginity when she was 16. To me, it makes sense for Bridget to be a virgin because her boy craziness is funny because it's innocent. Also, Kerry is much more mature than Bridget despite their actual ages.

In my high school I was always surprised to find out that the girl's who dressed provocatively were typically virgins. They were very comfortable with their bodies. In fact my best friend, who was overweight and very short and very unhappy with herself lost her virginity at 15.

I on the other hand (also overweight) was very happy with myself and did not lose my virginity until this past February at age 20 to a guy I am really in love with.

What do you mean "despite" their "actual" ages? Because in actuality, Amy Davidson is six years older then Kaley Cuoco, she just plays the younger sister because of her short stature. At the beginning of the series she was 23, but playing a 14 year-old, while Kaley was pretty much playing her age, 16 or 17. A better phrase might nave been "because of their actual ages."

Why not? It makes perfect sense. Bridget wasn't wanting for attention by any means, Kerry was. When I was in high school girls like Kerry were much more often than not the ones to surrender their virginity early, and the boys who knew that took major advantage of it. I can't imagine it's any different these days - sure, music and clothing trends change, but the boys-and-girls dynamics never do.

this discussion makes me think of marcia and jan. jan being younger developed a huge rack and with her low self esteem you can bet she was getting it from gregs friends on a regular basis.

The most surprising thing to me is that Kerry divulged that info.. Girls like her often give it up, but they usually want it to stay as secret as possible..

That might not really address the issue, but I always thought Kerry was much more intriguing (I've only seen most of the first season). If I would have had the choice between the two (yes I know, very unlikely scenario), I honestly would have gone for Kerry. At first glance Bridget might look better, but otherwise... There seems to be little else what would draw me towards her. With Kerry however, I can imagine so much more fun things to do with that one.

The actress that played Kerry has disappeared right?

reply

[–] evil_henchman 10 years ago

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that, nor why you would say it. However, if you mean that she didn't become a huge star after this show, imdb at least lists several more roles she had, hardly what I'd call disappeared.

reply

[–] megafauna005 10 years ago

I just meant she hasn't done anything prominent like Bridget.

It's really rare to get major roles on two series. But if you look at Amy's IMDB profile, she's working pretty steady.

Yes because Kerry was more mature, went to Europe away from her family,thought she was in love, and us actually far more attractive than Bridget.
