I've had this strange sort of rethinking about GDL lately. Not so long ago I didn't really follow him all that closely, so I was aware of things, but not in any depth. I think my initial impressions of him led me to think of him like a lot of my male friends, and past boyfriends. Fairly experienced and a bit laid back about sex and sexuality. I think the drama school thing threw me too. Most of the guys I've known who went that route would not be describable as sexually naive. And they all had some time with an older, experienced woman.
This recent information coming out has caused, and I'm sorry to use this again, but a bit of cognitive dissonance. It's not what I expected. Also, most of the guys I've known, even the not so experienced ones, were past this kind of behavior by 27. Or, at least, at the tail end of it. I was chalking up some of this to having just gotten out of a long term relationship and playing catch up.
I'm thinking he might not be the type to fuck his way through fandom. He really, really wants to be a bad boy. He tries so hard. He even tells us he's bad. I think he might try a groupie or two, but he'll end up picking the wrong ones, or just not get what he's looking for.
I hear what you're saying about the Education of GDL. I can't say the thought never crossed my mind, but...I'm not really interested in a student. Even in fantasy. I am also certain that the line to teach him a thing or two has already begun to form in the front row of his band's shows.
