IMO, nobody...
it's very difficult for him to find the right one, maybe it's even easier for us than for him. But if such a woman exists, she won't be a model and sure not a fan. If she's not scared to say no the first times, not too scared to lose him renouncing to just a mere hookup... and he keeps on being interested in her... well, she has good chances to win his heart.
Time will tell, though....  You are so right... I agree, Gerry will only be with a girl that is not afraid to stick up for herself. One that makes him feel he is LUCKY to have her. He's a man that needs a strong woman. One that he has no doubt will put him in his place big time if he steps out of line... One that he knows will be out of there if he doesn't treat her with respect... No clinging vines for the Butler. |

Found this in an interview Gerry did for USA Today in August.
Thought it was pretty interesting, since we like to speculate about these things. It seems to me though, that we hit the mark with our views.
Even though he swears he's single, he says he has been in relationships. "I'm just very good at keeping them quiet."
His success, however, is making intimacy trickier.
"I was never one who was great at it in the first place, so I do look to the future with a certain amount of trepidation," Butler says, laughing. "But it's just going to take a good woman to come and put me in line, you know? Shake me about and go, 'Come on!' you know? To let me breathe but at the same time slap me about a bit" — and to always be ready for the joke.[/i]

I am so not the type of woman for him. I would not want to give him his space. I really would I'd be on him like a bad rash.  |

I think Joy is absolutely right in her assessment. She is describing the sort of woman who will have what it will takes to hold Gerry’s interest. But I think right now because so many women are willing to make themselves available to Gerry on the fame factor alone, he really is guarding himself against the sort of women who might really arouse him on a deeper level. He’s not wasting a lot of time on pursuit at this point. But Gerry is the kind guy very capable of working on himself. He has managed to get a grip on his alcohol problems, his smoking habit. He is rather a spiritual king of guy, a seeker. At some point he will allow a woman to get past his defenses and decide that what ever potential exists between the two of them is well worth his time and effort. And he will put the same sort of focus on that he brought to other issues in his life.

Can you imagine being the focus of his attention? I think your right Sophiero, when he puts his mind to do something he goes "all in". I hope all the fame whores just stay well away from him. He won't spend his time on them, so why even waste it?

I believe G has a very intuitive side and he know when somebody is a celeb whore and he will hit that if she offers but... the more well know he get the more difficult it will be to find some one who isn't a fan or someone not willing to give him the time of day due to their perceptions of him.

Well, i'm a fan yet i think i would still fancy him even if he wakes up one day,decides to quit Hollywood and goes to Scotland to.....make an accomplished farmer !
Actually i'd like him more as a farmer ! Alas, i guess i'm infatuated by the person rather than by the public persona!

yes girls. i hear you and agree. one other thing to throw in the mix of conjecture...on the other hand, G has been around a lot...hence, he could have his defenses up b/c he's 'seen it all' which makes anyone skeptical towards what's true and what isn't...i think he vascillates between trusting and not...(shrugs). it would be typical for any one of us living 'it out' like this
and, even though its pretty apparent gerry's 'loving' all the trappings of his success (and he should be, right) but when it comes to emotional/physical involvement....he would best be to hold back, a tad, instead of throwing it all out there in the fast lane, so he doesn't get 'burnt out' when his 'real love' comes along.
you know...fertile ground instead of hard & lumpy...can't grow seeds in that, now can we? just saying...

I think that in the last couple of years it has been hard for him to cope with all that attention, especially from women. Well, I don't mean it like he is suffering, don't get me wrong...  I am sure he has his benefits with some different ladies. But as far as him finding love, it has got to be really hard for him. He doesn't know who he can trust, and when he shows interest in someone, like PC, and the media goes crazy, I feel a little sorry for him. He never has time to really get to know anyone for who they are, because he doesn't know if they are just after his fame (as some say PC was) I seems to me, though, that in the last couple of months, he is more relaxed, and maybe has come to terms with it. I don't know. I was going somewhere with this when I started writing, but now...Oh, I don't know where I am going with this, but I will say that I think he will settle down somewhere in the future with some ordinary girl, she might be from the industry, but not an actress. Someone he works with, like a stylist or publicist of some sort, who has known him for a while, and is familiar with the industry and all the craziness of it. |

Actually, I'm really skeptical about Gerry settling down... unless he finds a woman who really knocks him down, Gerry will remain single. Not that it's a fault or it's bad, I really hate when people ask me "when are you going to settle down?" like my life depended on it to be successful. In Gerry's case, many coincidences should happen to allow him to trust a woman.... it's not easy to focus on one woman when dozens of them throw themselves at you all the time!!

Someone he works with, like a stylist or publicist of some sort, who has known him for a while, and is familiar with the industry and all the craziness of it. hi girls, just HAD to pop over to this thread..one mo' time (not that it's the first thread in line or anything PLUS being as methodical as practical AND not to mention my keen interest in mr. butlers love life, or anthing like that, of course not...yukity yuk) but, honestly, we women love to play devils advocate and speculate on affairs of the heart anyway. as girls...we develop thick, elaborate plots of intrigue, drama and romance...with our dolls. right?.....  anyhoo....moving along....jeanne, i lean toward what you said wholeheartily...but without too much 'pity' though right? my two cents...gerry is a wonderful guy, who's worked hard for this and he's living it out the best way he knows and eventually, his 'love' life will ease into itself, naturally...when its time for him to be 'inlove'...he'll give it a good shake and probably make it last...he's maturing. (smile) ...wealth disturbs many people and gets them a little off balance if they're not born into it. so, women who are gold diggers are disturbed and deserve to get the living shit kicked OUT OF THEM....LOL.....i couldn't help it (chuckle, snort....) LOL....just a little fiesty now, eh? kyri...i hear you too though. even though mr. butler may be a 'restless roguish' type....he strikes me as heady/emotional and one who should have a life partner to snoggle with....but we all know SHOULD and DO are two different things, aye ;-0 |

This Gerry drought is leaving me partched so I went gleening for articles. Here is one dated 2.12 and the information isn't something that we didn't already know but here you are. Gerard Butler used to be `bit of a player' Bounty Hunter star Gerard Butler said he used to be a 'bit of a player' when he was younger. The 40-year-old actor, who is rumoured to be dating Jennifer Aniston, said he's not sure why he has never married but said he's been busy working. He said: 'I used to be a bit of a player, actually. Had a lot of fun, had a lot of girlfriends, and my mum would say: 'One of these days, somebody is going to break your heart.' 'I remember thinking, No, they're not - I'm not going to let it happen! 'I think I had a Casanova complex, which they say can happen to guys who were abandoned by their father, and that happened to me - my parents split up when I was two.' He added: 'I don't know why I've never married. I had a couple of serious relationships when I was younger, but if I think back, they were never anything I could see sustaining. 'And, lately, since I've got into acting, I've just been working harder, so I don't have time. I have to put my feet up for five minutes first!' |
