Thanks Canadia. What a fantastic interview. The part where he leans in and says," I don't think you are" I can just see him doing that...

This is awesome...i think she was flirting with him but i also think he expected the flirt.Maybe she was beautiful...because he said"I don’t know if this is about the question or about you flirting"she just asked the question she had to.But well we dont know they way she looked at him anyway...thank you so much canadia

We know him by now...they don't even have to be beautiful, LOL!!!
The statement he made about how even the most beautiful girl in the world has a man who is tired of fucking her is so spoken like a man who is single and can get any women he chooses. I wonder if G has really ever been deeply in love?!?! A person who has would not say that, IMO.

I wonder if G has really ever been deeply in love?!?! A person who has would not say that, IMO. You are so absolutely right Prince. I think I wouldn't be off the mark by saying he has never allowed himself to get that close to someone to be truly, madly, deeply in love with them. That kind of love is out there and in that case, no you never get tired of fucking them even after things begin to sag. There will always be something about that person that intrigues you. My DJ's I listen to every morning said something that made me think of Gerry in reference to Tiger Woods and his apology. For one thing they have a huge problem with this sex addiction stuff.... Eh I believe there is true sex addiction but I believe to an extent it effects women more than men and stems from abuse as a child. I think most men at some point of their life use their dicks like heat seeking missiles. I don't think sex addict describes either Tiger Woods or Gerry, emotionally detached in regards to their prick is more like it. (Keep in mind we know that Tiger Woods is a dog, and we don't know how much of a revolving door Gerry's bed is... lots of speculation but that's it.) The DJ's said that narcissistic Tiger probably had a little schedule for his life which is likely true and that he planned to be married and have X amount of kids at a certain age....blah, blah, blah... He never took in account that he was expected to be faithful. I give Gerry credit being he is just as driven as Tiger in so far as he has the wherewithal to know not to get married and have children when he is really not ready. Gerry did say he thought he'd be married by now and have kids and thank goodness he is savvy enough about himself not to have done that.

You know he made mention of "Some asshole in Des Moines on their computer.." If he had mentioned Detroit I may have be affronted.

I think I would be terrified of him. He is so smart, witty, clever and handsome...I would just fall apart. And would you not worry all the time that you could not ever meet his expectations? I would be wondering each day can I still hold on to him...it would drive me crazy and the women that fall all over him..what man can really ignore all that......I think the woman that could really make him happy, wife, mother of his children, ect.....would stay away....GREAT ARTICLE.... thanks..you can really read between the lines on this one!!

Some quotes that jumped out at me:
What must be it be like to be you adulated by all these women?
Do you think that maybe you’re single because it’s just too easy for you?
Well, it’s interesting that I’ve found relationships a little harder with the advent of my success. Whether that’s because it’s easier or it’s too easy or just suddenly because you’re more under scrutiny or because you’re busier, I don’t know. It’s perhaps a bit of everything.
This makes sense, success can screw with your head and Gerry's level of success must be a real mind blower!
Do you think there’s too much focus on your private life and that it takes something away from your image as an actor?
There’s no doubt that it does. Some people say that it helps you, but I don’t quite see that. I don’t think that people see you in the press and then it’s going necessarily make them judge you in a harsh way. It’s just annoying that we can’t deal with truths. Yeah, if I were having a relationship with Jen, we would say it, or I would say it, or she would say it. It’s just that people like to make shit up based on nothing or very little. The more that goes on and the more there are rumors about different people, then people start to form opinions of you based on something that isn’t true. I’d rather be judged on my work is what I’m saying. I’d rather people knew me for my work than for stories that some asshole in Des Moines is sitting making up on her computer knowing that it will picked and go around the world. It’s as easy as that.
This is a direct shot at all the celebrity blogs and tabloids. Something to bear in mind in the constant onslaught of gossip which is about 80% untrue.
What’s your ideal type of woman? What are you looking for? Let’s matchmake you.
Actually, beautiful maybe, but more sexy I think rather than beautiful, because it’s the chemistry thing that’s more important. I always remember the old adage: “Show me the most beautiful woman in the world and I’ll show you a guy who’s tired of fucking her.” (Laughs) In a way, it’s a horrible thing to say, but what I take from that is that it isn’t all just about beauty. It’s about something more substantial than that.
Context is everything! That adage didn't originate with Gerry at all, what I think he's getting at here is that any potential partner of his is going to need to have more then a pretty face going for her to hold his interest.

I don't think any of us are stating anything new. When you are famous and single, whether male or female, it does make it so much harder. Especially if you already had trust issues before you became famous, then add fame and celebrity to the mix. Who can you trust? Who is after you for your money or fame or status, what can you do for their career vs who really cares about the real you, even assuming you can be the real you given you live under a microscope, people have likely already betrayed you to taboloids and the like, and you might be afraid to reveal too much of yourself too quickly and that might frustrate the other person who has only good intentions. And then you have the situation where the people who would probably be best for you in a relationship are going to be scared off by your celebrity, the lifestyle, the reputation in the press and not wanting to live with that kind of scrutiny themselves. So yeah it makes it 10 times harder really - easier to find the non committal situation, but harder for something real. You can see why some celebrities are married to their high school sweetheart or someone they met when they were nothing or struggling because they know they can trust that person. I remember someone asked Michael Hutchence, now deceased lead singer of INXS why rockstars are always hooking up with models - he was dating Helena Christensen at the time. He said no one else understands the lifestyle, which is similar and you keep running into those same people all the time so that is who you meet. Now at the time he was with Tim Farriss, one of the guitarists with INXS, who very cleverly said I am not dating a model I am married to the model wife [ ie his high school sweetheart.]
Michael and Helena, such a good and such a gorgeous couple, I always loved her best of the supermodels of that era, any model who admits her weakness is cheese is my kind of gal, but, he was admittedly and pretty open about the fact he was fully incapable of being faithful to any one woman even Helena or Paula Yates, the mother of his only child, Tiger Lily. Yet Michael was the kind of guy the women could not stay mad at in spite of his behaviour. All his main exes were at his funeral balling their eyes out. Sigh.
I do think that most famous people develop the ability to spot the fakes or parasites etc, phoney-dar? but even the smartest can be hoodwinked by someone who is a master con artist from time to time. But that is not just in romantic relationships, look at Anna Nicole Smith and her blood sucking entourage.

Oh lord Anna Nicole, I wonder if that prehistoric guy she married had dementia or was just super horny. Here he is with all these crusty age spots all over his balding, gray, little head and these two colossal boobs stuck right in his face. I'll always remember that big smile he had on his kisser though.
