If you liked The Shrinking Man, you should read He Who Shrank.
Again, the film was not about abortion....

Is very realistic about the good guy not having the girl, happens all the time, but the film shows Karen a little too impolite and even cruel... I mean, in real life, after the guy payed for the abortion and cared for her so much, probably Karen would be very grateful and would find "softer" ways to reject Gary, probably talking with him first, or even in that last scene she would go to talk to him trying to ease things or cheered him up.
Instead is like Karen enjoyed Gary's suffering in that last shot.
True, brother of mine is gay and for a lot of my youth I was surprised by this phenomenon. He was not even interested in having female friends, but if you went to a store with him, the cashier girl will devoured him with the eyes, and for me it was like being invisible. LOL
A lot of times I recognize a gay guy simply because it reminds me of my brother in somehow.
So it's juts like you said, girls really like the metrosexual guy who dress well, also gay guys usually dance better, which also causes interest in girls.
A lot of women unconsciously feel a lot of attraction to two type of guys, the one hyper successful with girls or the gay guy,
So in the movie we get an example of the first case and in this post is an example of the second case.
In my mind Sara changed his look and Rick realized she was kind of hot and a much worthy girl than Karen, they are currently in a relation.
Karen did not learn the lesson and had to have a second abortion, but this time she had to do it completely alone since she broke with up with Rick after many infidelities and a couple of STD's passed by him.
I just watched the film for the first time, so I came here to read some posts and this one is kind of funny, because 20 minutes into the film I said to myself "I bet the actor playing Rick is gay" then I went to read the Wikipedia entries of each actor and I confirmed it.
Is funny because some gay guys are like magnets for girls.
Maybe we can ask that to the actress Allison Mack, she recruited a lot of women to be abused by a cult leader.
There are bad women, just like bad men.

I think here in South America people have forgotten a lot of 80's classics, like this one which is not part of the most famous mainstream classics of the 80's, I have a very long list of 80's films to watch that I'm still discovering, I'm having such a good time, I also saw this last couple of weeks: Class of 1984, Class of 1999, Miracle Mile, good movies. :)
I think is OK If you watch it in a not so big screen, I watch it in on a 100 inches projector and the experience was not pleasant.
Last night I saw the film for the very first time, very cool flick! And for my surprise the films ends with a song by one of my favorite artist of all time: Midge Ure, it was a big surprise, I was also surprised when I read on wikipedia:
"Midge Ure's "Come The Day" is used under the closing credits of the film. Ure recorded the track while on tour in the United States in 1989. He would later say that he disliked the song, as well as the film"
So he was not fan of the song, but it was very good.
Anyway if you liked this song I recommend the rest of Midge Ure's work, his solo work and specially with Ultravox, guy has one of the best voices I have ever heard. With Ultravox, songs like: Hymn, Vienna, The Voice, One Small Day, Love's Great Adventure, The Voice.
Solo work, songs like: If I Was, Call of the Wild,Beneath a Spielberg Sky, Personal Heaven.
Great music.
It's impossible that a film like this can be remade, specially with the political correctness of today.
