You might be onto something, there, Maisie.

Now that I am back in the dating scene, I can't help noticing that the single men are predominantly older, bitterer, ruder, and meaner than they were in their 20s and early 30s. Not just to me. To everyone, and particularly to women. They have some sense of entitlement that I never saw in men when I was in my 20s and 30s. It must be: marriage ruins them. They get too used to barking orders and controlling everyone.

Uh, yeah, Dad. Yew waaahnt huhwhut, When??? hahahahahaha! Take a number, and stand in line.
 
I hate to admit it, but I still find him unbelieveably attractive. That being said, he is also super lame. I separate the two.

I think he jumped the shark around the time of the demise of his marriage to NK.

LOL. I find him creepy and highly controlling but admit he looked like he had aged backwards on the MTV awards when he presented w/Cameron Diaz. How''d he do that?

I feel the same way...but perhaps he had been creepy a long time before they split up and was just more private about it? I felt bad when they divorced, but now, can see why! Perhaps practicing Scientology has changed him too?
 
I read this about Scientology:

In the book The Science of Survival, in the Chart of Human Evaluation Hubbard said that a man high in the chart has a strong interest in sex and the rearing of children

There was always speculation about Tom Cruise and his orientation. I wonder if he got married and had a baby just because it was expected of him as a Scientologist.

Just a thought.

I remember there was a lot of speculation a few years back. That is quite interesting. I didn''t know that. Did the article say anything about the views of Scientology pertaining to sexual orientation?
You could have a strong interest in sex and rearing children no matter what your sexual orientation, but if Scientology deems homosexuality as a big taboo, that would be interesting.
 
I read that they don''t have an official stance on Homosexuality and members are banned from discussing it.
 
Well I guess no answer is an answer too... hmmmm...
 
Please remember that Scientology is a religion so please keep religion out of the discussion.
 
I just had to comment about the title of this post. We don''t hear the word "grotty" here much, it had me giggling. I picture a little kid saying "Eeeew, he''s icky, and nasty, and GROTTY!"

I''ve never understood his appeal, I''m not attracted to the frat boy type, but he does seem to be aging backwards, and does not look 20 years older than his wife (or whatever their age difference is).
 
Well, he certainly makes my Smarm-O-Meter go off.

I never did think he was cute, cool, or an actor.
 
IMO he has always been grotty, people are just noticing it more now because he is older and weirder.

He really bothers me because I do not think he is a good actor, I do not find him attractive, I can not relate to or like any of his characters, he is very short for a hollywood actor not to mention all the weird, ignorant and stupid things he comes up with in interviews. I just don''t see how he ''made it'' and why people continue to employ him.
 
Haha, I don''t know the word "grotty"???! I''ve heard "grody" (or is that "groty"???! Either way, long "o" sound!) and it means kinda dirty, icky, just one shade shy of gross.

But "grotty"??! What does it mean? Same thing??!

Lynn, you lost your "B"!!!!!!!!

I actually used dictionary.com to find the correct spelling for ''grotty.'' It is the long ''o'' sound of grody or groty. Same smarmy difference!!!!

He completely creeps me out. He just gets weirder and weirder. I wonder what''s next!

This pretty much sums it up for me. It was downhill all the way after Risky Business. Rob Lowe -- same thing, a rapid decline into grotty-ness. Now, Johnny Depp, on the other hand...

Big ditto!!!
 
I never cared for him as an actor. I thought he was ok looking but he always comes across, to me anyway, as unbelievably arrogant, and I just can''t tolerate that.

Johnny Depp on the other hand..he was nice looking when he was younger, but as he''s gotten older I find that I have a hard time not licking the tv/computer/movie screen when I see him.
 
I have never found Tom Cruise attractive in any way.
I will not watch him in any movie because I don''t find the
characters he plays believable. All I can see is
Tom Cruise.
Casting him in Interview With The Vampire was a travesty.

Now Johnny Depp I would be willing to tie up, bathe and shave.
For the common good of course.
 
I think Tom Cruise is an absolute creeper! He totally grosses me out. Katie Holmes grosses me out too now, just for being associated with him. Every time I see him on TV my upper lip curls a bit. haha.
