Oh sure, any sane woman would choose....


Jack Nicholson over Keanu Reeves. LOL. NOT! Ridiculous film and of course the older woman has to end up with the older man right? Like the worst sin in the world would be for an older woman to actually end up with the younger man, which of course happens all the time in real like but Hollywood just can't let that happen.

I know right, I hate that society has totally accept and view younger woman/ older man as normal, while older women/younger men as disgusting and unacceptable.

She ended up with Harry because of their connection; it had nothing to do with age. You could flip it around and say, in what world would a man pick an older woman over all those younger women? Both Harry and Erica dated someone younger and they both ended up with the older person.

I would choose Jack (Harry) over Keanu in this movie. His personality is way more interesting than Reeves. Witty, intelligent, sensitive at times And I think he has a sexy voice and is very charismatic.
Keanu is so dreary. Just no personality. Blah. Just because he's younger doesn't make him an obvious choice.
And at the end of the day it's all about having the right connection With someone.

Keanu is so dreary. Just no personality. Blah.


Dr. Mercer (Reeves) had class though; and he was a safer bet in regards to loyalty.

But the movie stressed that Erica and Harry had a real love-connection, which is the deal breaker, not to mention Harry's epiphany.

I mildly have a thing for Keanu, while Nicholson has always left me completely cold, so it's Keanu for me, by a million miles.

I find Jack repulsive; he's a cigar-smelling old man to me. Plus, Keanu's actually more my own age, while Jack is very much older. I also would have more in common with Keanu; he's more my type of person.




reply

Physically yes, Keanu is way more attractive. But i found Keanu more empty and boring in personality. He didn't have the spark and uniqueness of Jack.

Yeah they love to keep pushing this idea that women are into old men, we aren’t, we feel the same way men feel about old women, you smell, your teeth suck and your balls are gross. That narrative has been pushed forever by men, also the idea of beautiful women marrying fat men. Stop pushing it guys, it’s not working.

There are lots of women in relationships with not great looking man so I wouldn't go as far as to say all that.

reply

Just as there are relatively good looking men with unattractive women, but that's not typical and I don't think that men are anymore attracted to an old woman than we are to old men.
