“Kissing is a man’s business” – Gerry (P.S. I love you, character portrayed by Gerard Butler)
Oh my God, how true. Having kissed men and boys, trust me; I know the difference. Boys think they know they
are getting it right and have no concern whether they are pleasing you or not.
Men on the other hand, know that the more you are satisfied, the harder you will work at satisfying them-
it is a win-win situation. It goes for kissing and everything else.
P.S. I should know. I did date a guy 12 years older than me. Was so much fun…
When I heard Gerard Butler‘s character utter the sentence quoted, I was thinking “Hell, you are so right!!!”.
*** Gerard Butler: Oh, Gerard was born in 1969- which makes him a good 15 years older than me.
And add the sweetness and romantic qualities of his character, I would embrace that difference. And in the movie, Hillary Swank‘ s Holly meets Gerry when she is college and he is a musician. I guess we are supposed to assume a 10 year difference or something like that. Whatever. Bring it on!
***Richard Gere
Oh well. The name speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Pretty Woman might be fun but the story of a businessman + a hooker = fairy tale?? C’mon. Seriously. And I don’t really like his earlier stuff- I find them boring and him looking too neat. But when his hair is scruffy, he is wearing his jeans and just a shirt, he is passionate and a little rebellious, all I can say is Hallelujah!!!
Let’s see more with 3 examples.
*Mr. Jones: The lovely manic-depressive patient. 1993. Richard is 44 years old. Barely looking to be in his mid 30s. Longish hair. Impulsive attitude. No wonder his doctor falls in love with him.
*Sommersby: Jack Sommersby comes home 6 years after the war. Right after Jodie Foster shaves the beard, we have an amazing-looking man, who is fun,loyal and loving. Oh boy. Who cares if the guy is 20 years older??? 30?? I want him. (Gere, that is) right here, right now basically.
* Nights in Rodanthe: 2008. Richard is 59. His character has fathered a son played by James Franco. Who do you want? Richard’s character Paul!! He has made mistakes and he is trying to amend them. He meets Diane Lane’s Adrienne. 4 intense days. Totally honest and open. Total attraction and emotional involvement. I fell in love with Jack.
*** Jeffrey Dean Morgan. 43. Ever since I saw him in Grey’s Anatomy, I want this guy.
Whatever that comes my way really. One night stand, a serious make-out session, marriage, bed buddies…Oh,yes! I was seduced badly. He barely looks 35 and I like a guy who is older and looks younger than he really is. I guess we have already established that. In Grey’s, he was playing a patient who needed a heart transplant. He charmed Doctor Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) with his good nature, funny self and good looks.
She cared for him so much she risked her career to save him. My relationship with the show is limited with Jeffrey’s appearances as Denny Duquette.
Then came P.S. I love you. Oh when Gerry sends his wife to Ireland with his letters, he is a musician she runs across at a bar. All those good looks and the sexiness of vocals and guitar. Oh,wow!!!
Below; The Accidental Husband : Silly movie but Jeffrey was there and it was enjoyable. Oh, he played a fire-fighter.
If you are thinking he only plays the good guy, please see the Watchmen. He is supposedly a superhero but he is more like a psycho in there. He is as good as a villain.
