  • Grey is a character,imo, who only gets away with what he does because of his wealth

    Well I'm the opposite of minted so it must be the incredibly attractive bit!
    Or the pervy bit. Don't overlook that critical characteristic. ;)

    He's got a playroom without any proper games consoles in it, which is silly.

  • I've never read it or seen the film (being a bloke), but I've had several women who know me say that the character in the book of Mr. Grey (sp?), reminds them of me. I keep asking if this is an insult or not? Can someone briefly explain what the deal is with this Mr. Grey? Is he a horrible person? A pervert? What?!


    The last time I ventured into online dating I gave up as pretty much every guy on there said the bit in bold :rotfl:

    I'm female. I would class it as an insult.

    Insult.

    He's arrogant, controlling and lacks interpersonal skills.

    On the basis that these women presumably haven't tested any potential skills you might have in the bedroom department, it can't really be a compliment. Sorry.

    Edit - or maybe they think he's good looking and you remind them of him. Which would then be a compliment. I just didn't think of that initially since I can't stand people with personalities like his.
  • Mr Grey doesn't compare well with Mr Darcy or Poldark.
