A woman of Laura's looks + age CELIBATE in 1960 London? LMAO!!

You know what, kid?
You haven't got the SUBTLETY to get there!
I knew a woman ( a professional like myself ) very attractive, young, couldn't meet men at all. She joined dating sites and guess what? In 6 months she met a young, attractive surgeon who apparently couldn't find a partner either! On line by the way and now they are married.
I guess those of us who are professional types working for the public good 60 odd and up hours a week; it happens. It's hard to meet SUBTLE (or otherwise) attractive men.
If you jump at a woman with your pecker hanging out; she's likely to call the cops not jump into your arms. Even Demi Moore, even in your dreams.


I intend to live forever. So far so good.

As jazzy, prosperous and free loving as 1960s London may have been, it's not that much of a stretch to assume that a professional woman in a male dominated field like Laura may have had trouble finding a mate. She may well have thought her job would be in jeopardy if she cut herself some slack loosened the reigns and started dating or, heaven forbid got married.

Of the two men who showed interest in her, one of them was married and the other suspected her of committing a serious crime. Also, she was nearly forty. Would a woman of that age and station in life really be off shagging various suitors like a flower child hippie?

And besides, the whole movie takes place over the course of what, a few weeks? Beginning with the Russian-South African crisis and ending with the theft of the diamonds (which she took part in). With all that going on, perhaps Laura wasn't exactly in the mood for a shag. We don't know her whole life's story, maybe she had someone she occasional called up for a booty call prior to these events. We don't know she was celibate, just that she didn't have sex during the timeframe of the movie.

Everybody needs love. Have you held your hostage today?

Well we don´t know if she is screwing around or not. She maybe on a break. She could also be Asexual or homosexual. It´s not like the film follows her all the time, weekends she may dress up in a blond wig and shag 20 somethings all night long.

1960 might sound like "the sixties" to you, but it was still the fifties, both chronologically and socially. The sixties didn't become "the sixties" until the birth control pill was in widespread distribution. Really the sixties as in the swinging sixties didn't really begin until 1963. As for looks, well that's never really important as outside of the movies you'd be surprised what ugly people get up to.

Not everyone in a certain time has to have the stereotypical characteristics of the era. Just look at her, a professional woman in a male-dominated world, she already broke a common trait of the time. Everyone wasn't shagging everyone else. It wouldn't be fair if someone from the future looked back on our current time and assumed that every single person in the 2010s was a conceited social-network addict. Anyway, the year 1960 was pretty much an extension of the 1950s. The moniker with its connotation of "The Sixties" that you are talking about didn't happen for a few more years.
