The Whole 'Bad Boy' Attraction
Women just consistently astound me. This movie is a situation wherein I believe art imitates life and not the contrary. While I'll never fully understand the attraction to bad boys, I know that it's not going to change. I see women all the time with douchebags and a$$holes who treat them like crap, or who may treat them fine, but are still douchebags and a$$holes and treat other people accordingly.
But what women never seem to understand is that while they're spending their teens, 20s, and (yes, sadly) 30s going after the bad boys, all the good guys (who are just as attractive and successful and loving) are being taken up by other women or deciding to not waste their time with the juvenile theatrics that females can bring to a relationship.
I find it hilarious that when I've ventured to a grocery store on a Friday night, it's almost entirely women, alone, shopping for microwavable fudge cakes and cat food. The same goes for online dating (being in a relationship since college, I've never had to use this, but I have several friends who do) - the women far outnumber the men. And they act so surprised that they can't find a boyfriend when, in fact, they idolize Adam Scott or some other actor who is not only way out of their playing field, but would most certainly treat them like crap.
I applaud women for their attraction to bad boys, including Adam Scott in this film. When you die alone of diabetes at the age of 62, I'm sure your cats will be very, very sad.
