No one is allowed to think Ryan is cute after the horrible tampon song he sang to the music producer. That was quite possibly the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen someone do on television. How that moment didn't wind up in the recap is beyond me.
I am ashamed to admit that I'm liking Ryan, too, if only for the awesome faces he makes when he's commenting on certain scenes. Also, he's not a bad guitar player. And, bonus points -- he was in the military. Okay, shoot me, too. :(
@ahotdoughnut: I love Ryan, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. He has a great sense of humor, and his WTF faces alone seal the deal for me. Also, I was dying laughing when he was in the aerobic striptease class.
Who exactly are these people that they can't restrain themselves from flirting with someone while they have an SO? I have never in my entire life cheated, or even kissed someone while attached, and I rarely flirt. And not because I wasn't tempted but just because I chose not to.
Is it really SO difficult to make that choice? I find it about as difficult as not eating a whole bag of potato chips once I've opened the bag.
"Also, terrible confession time: I'm mayyyyybe starting to find Ryan a little cute. Shoot me in the face, please."
uh....me too and I think that for me its because he reminds me of all the cute boys in high school who didn't know I existed, but here he is, chatting to ME (uh, in a confessional, to everyone with a tv and braincells to loose) and the non-actualized part of me is like, aww, all those popular skanks were right sort of about something, and he is cute and funny, and maybe stupider than me, but I can get over it, and maybe do his geometry homework for him sometime...and he'll tell me a joke that isn't funny and I'll laugh anyway and wonder if he has one of those hat curlers from lids.
because, in this post-Twilight world of dashing young men and the girls who must be careful not to turn them on lest the men do something awful that would be all the girls' fault, it was up to Kumbaya to stay away from him.
Oh, fucking knock it off, I'm so tired of this pathetic old lie.
When a guy says that to a girl, it's the same damn thing as when a girl says it to a guy, and believe me, girls say it to guys. Of course, nobody says that kind of shit about the girls when they say it, instead the ladies are lauded for being faithful, which merely opens up another avenue to criticise guys for being such notorious cheaters and trying to take advantage of a poor girl who just wants to be faithful to her boyfriend.
It means "I'm in a relationship, so I am unable and/or unwilling to respond to your advances." With a healthy dose of "Please respect the relationship itself" and "By the way, we're on fucking television!".
@Werrick: "I'm in a relationship, so I am unable and/or unwilling to respond to your advances... but I'm still gonna flirt with you a lot and obsess over the fact that you like me and keep reminding you that I'd totally date you if I didn't have a girlfriend. So, you know. You stay away. Because I have a girlfriend."
What he's thinking is what he's thinking, but your statement wasn't specific at that point in the article, it was a generalization about men, not an observation about that one man.
I can grant that you may have been thinking specifically about Ryan when you wrote it, but the actual statement written was in no way specific and it reads just like every other tired, old stereotype that men have to deal with.
@Werrick: Ahh, I see your point. I was actually just trying to get in a dig at Twilight which promotes the idea that women are responsible for controlling a man's sexual urges. Which is silly and offensive for both men and women. I've no issue with men in general. Just with Twilight.
I didn't watch this one--Scott shirtless in the kitchen was enough for me--but I totally told you about Ryan being cute, or bordering on adorable, dude. But yeah, it's sad about Katelynne's (sp) boyfried, re: your theory. This actually proves my OWN theory, that boys are dumb.
Speaking of "curiously confident boys from your 10th grade English class," Richard, you have to watch this. The guys are probably tools in real life, but there's something quite charming about them touching each other's butts. It's from some dumb reality show called The Principal's Office that I will, in all likelihood, never see.

I'm going to shove myself in a locker now.

Okay, fair enough. I can see how that might make sense to you as the author of the article with that thought in mind.
Incidentally, not to mention ironically, that's precisely my own problem with Twilight and why I refused to see it or spend any money towards it.

"Do you have anything else you want to add?"
"I love you."
"I like your tie."
