   I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

   >   
   I DISAGREE.  I THINK A LOT OF GREAT ACTORS, IF NOT ALL, SHARE THE SAME   
   MENTALITY.   
      
      
   > He seems to prefer flying all around the world to exotic places and   
   > spending time on a movie set or interacting with fans than staying   
   > home and living a "real" life.   
      
   I AM AN ADULT WITH ADD (HAVE HAD IT ALL MY LIFE) AND I THINK HE HAS   
   THIS   
   PROBLEM AS WELL.  I BELIEVE IT HAS A LITTLE TO DO WITH THAT. BUT,  AT   
   THE   
   TIME, WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THOSE QUIET TIMES AT HOME.  WE ONLY HEAR   
   ABOUT THE   
   TIMES HE IS JETTING AROUND THE WORLD.  HEARING HOW MUCH HE VALUES HIS   
   FRIENDS AND THE TIME HE SPENDS WITH THEM, I THINK HE HAS HIS QUIET   
   TIME WITH   
   THEM BUT IT'S AT HOME, AWAY FROM THE PRYING EYE OF HIS ADORING PUBLIC   
   (MEANING US :-)   
      
   When he's surrounded by fans and he's   
   > being Mr. Nice Guy, that's when he's in his element. He thrives on the   
   attention. Maybe that relates to something about proving his worth as   
   > a kid, since his Dad was such a larger than life figure to him.   
   >   
   MANY OF US HAVE "ISSUES" DUE TO OUR CHILDHOOD.  THE SAME SEX PARENT IS   
   THE   
   MOST IMPORTANT INFLUENCE IN A CHILD'S LIFE.  I THINK MEN OFTEN TRY TO   
   PROVE   
   THEIR WORTH TO   
   THEIR FATHERS.  I DON'T SEE GEORGE AS BEING THAT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN   
   THE   
   AVERAGE MAN IN THIS REGARD.   
      
      
   > If he were an accountant, he'd probably be married (or in a long term   
   > relationship) by now.   
      
   I AM MARRIED TO AN ACCOUNTANT AND I THINK IF GEORGE WAS AN ACCOUNTANT   
   HE   
   WOULD HAVE KILLED HIMSELF BY NOW :-)   
      
   >because he has this worldly life, I think he finds it impossible to let   
   even just a little bit of it go. It seems   
   > like he thinks women distract him from his work in a negative way.   
      
   I THINK IT'S LIKELY THAT MOST WOMEN MIGHT DISTRACT HIM IN A NEGATIVE   
   WAY.   
      
   >And if his work remains his priority, he'll never make time to truly   
   > connect to someone until the career is over.   
      
   LOOK AT WARREN BEATTY.  MAYBE HE'LL GO THE SAME ROUTE.   
      
   >The sad thing is that he could actually be a much better artist if he had a   
   more stable and   
   > fulfilling personal life. Most men do better when they have a great   
   > marriage at home. He would improve the quality of his work if he   
   > started spending his time in a quality relationship.   
      
   HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE DIVORCE RATE LATELY?  NORMAL PEOPLE ARE GETTING   
   DIVORCED AT A RATE 40-50%.  ESTIMATES ARE THAT APPROX. 60% OF MEN AND   
   40% OF   
   WOMEN   
   WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR.  I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT   
   THE   
   STATS WOULD BE FOR CELEBS.   
    THE ODDS ARE AGAINST A HAPPY MARRIAGE IN THE NORMAL WORLD AND IN THE   
   WORLD   
   OF CELEBS, IF SEEMS MOST FAIL   
   YEAH, THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A DISTRACTION FOR GEORGE :-) GEE...I   
   CAN'T   
   IMAGINE WHY HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED :-)   
      
   >It doesn't have to be a marriage, but just any secure relationship. These   
   little 3   
   > month flings are ruining him.   
      
   HOW ARE THEY RUINING HIM?  I THINK HE IS LIVING MOST MEN'S FANTASY   
   LIFE :-)
