Anyone else want to date Frances?


I would love to date a girl like her. Pretty, funny, awkward, free-spirited. Not undateable in my book.

I have dated women similar to Frances...and they were usually self-absorbed, irresponsible, unreliable, and like Frances, frequently moochers.

Amen, Shemp. Been there, done that. Didn't get the t shirt.

Frances in the end, yes. Still awkward and creative and spirited, but responsible enough to be a "real person", capable of taking care of herself.

But just barely.

I dated girls like her and they were a real mixed bag. Free spirited, smart, funny — that was great. Emotionally self indulgent, dependent, needy — not so great.

None of them look as good as Gerwig. Girls that look as good as Gerwig usually lack the depressive mood and have more self confidence than the Frances Halladay type, but they also lack the character.

I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard she's rather flaky.
