Because yes, if you watch the two of them together it is just point-blank awful. But if you watch him with Bailey, or sniveling hand-on-bomb girl, or that sweet little old lady who didn't want to leave the hospital... he's absolutely charming, totally take-charge, and delightfully dependable. <BR/><BR/>His chemistry with Izzy is great, too (I don't mean romantically; I mean platonically).<BR/><BR/>No, I think it's just with Meredith that he's train-wreck-e-rific.Kate Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987438202240646062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1141256968896398752006-03-01T15:49:00.000-08:002006-03-01T15:49:00.000-08:00Simone:I had a similar thought while watching the ...Simone:<BR/><BR/>I had a similar thought while watching the last 2 episodes of GA. Because - though I hadn't noticed it before - George seems to whine...a lot. <BR/><BR/>So it got me thinking...would he really make a good boyfriend? I mean, he constantly complained that Mer didn't notice him and blah, blah, blah, but I saw him doing nothing about it. Yes, he went to her and she handled it very badly, but he seemed to just wuss out. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I liked that aspect of it.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410951433962652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1141236187881247432006-03-01T10:03:00.000-08:002006-03-01T10:03:00.000-08:00ok, feeling a little wrong about posting that comm...ok, feeling a little wrong about posting that comment.

I fell in love with the sweet, soulful, slightly klutzy, friend. I had eyes for only him, smitten by is inner-handsomeness. Until he turned out to be McAsshole. Now granted this may be just me but prepare your self, cause those sweet overlooked guys so perfect as they admire you from afar, when given a shot at getting comfortable in your adoration can take you for granted and string you along just as seriously as any one with a chisled jawline. Frankly its even worse, because you don't see it coming. Good luck, ladies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1141022284532474622006-02-26T22:38:00.000-08:002006-02-26T22:38:00.000-08:00First of all....I love this post.

I think you've made an excellent point with the McSweetie/McDreamy thing..I'm watching GA now and waiting to see how things turn out *crosses fingers*. <BR/><BR/>Second: These comments are cracking me up. I'm lucky enough to have found my McSweetie. He's sweet, adorable and sexy-as-all-get-out. The perfect combination. <BR/><BR/>Here's wishing all of you the same....Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410951433962652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1140990639820681562006-02-26T13:50:00.000-08:002006-02-26T13:50:00.000-08:00In my online dating travails, I've run into a lot ...In my online dating travails, I've run into a lot of guys who announce in their profiles that they are Nice Guys. What they invariably mean by this is that they're boring and/or clingy, and bitter because they've been dumped for more interesting/independent (and therefore less nice?) guys. I want a McSweetie who will treat me well, but (as I said to my last McDreamy, who was not quite McSweet enough) a little mystery and doubt are what make a relationship sexy.

I actually don't mind Meredith. I was in love with a total bad boy for upwards of five years after it became readily apparent that it was going nowhere fast. I have tons of sympathy for (most) of Meredith's actions.<BR/><BR/>I don't have sympathy for McDreamy, though. I feel like he's stringing her along... unintentionally or intentionally, it's still wrong.<BR/><BR/>And I have made bad choices like Meredith, but my best friends (who are very nice guys) were always off limits. I'm just saying. She should have a limit.<BR/><BR/>You're right--it's not simple. But I just think there are some decency fundamentals in play here.Kate Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987438202240646062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1140727704646835542006-02-23T12:48:00.000-08:002006-02-23T12:48:00.000-08:00Yikes, you may have opened more of a debate with y...Yikes, you may have opened more of a debate with your GA post than you intended, Kate!<BR/><BR/>Let's band together, start a new group: Damned Scribbling Women United For the Proliferation of Nice Guy Heroes In Romance (DSWUFPNGHIR, for short).<BR/><BR/>I think Peter and Jude are two good footsoldiers to lead the charge.<BR/><BR/>And now I get why you were so mad at Julia Chesterwood!Anneliese Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389340053893292833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1140713532461147272006-02-23T08:52:00.000-08:002006-02-23T08:52:00.000-08:00OOOH! OOOH! OOOH!! I totally agree (and have been ...OOOH! OOOH! OOOH!! I totally agree (and have been FREAKING OUT that I missed last week's big George moment. How good was it? And why is GA not on iTunes yet?) <BR/>Scarily, the GA writer's blog implies to me that the WRITERS think M and M belong together. ARE THEY CRACKHEADS? You cannot write George and not want him to be the protagonist. I'll freakin' do him if Mer won't. <BR/>So yes, and yes, and yes.Ms. Albertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066340847081068473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1140713510028079612006-02-23T08:51:00.000-08:002006-02-23T08:51:00.000-08:00I am a reader of the GA Blog..saw your site and ca...I am a reader of the GA Blog..saw your site and came to visit!<BR/><BR/>Anyway I am a self admitted lover of the unhealthy ones. The question you pose is one that I ask myself everyday, and like Meredith did with George, I've forced myself to stay with the "nice guy" knowing I didn't feel it in my core. Sick? Yes. Twisted? Without a doubt. Honest? Yep! See I can continue my self-flogging without hurting anyone but myself as long as I continue to chase unhealthy men. But when I try to flip it, and do the right thing, and stay with the “nice guy” it never works out; and in doing so I hurt someone who sooooo doesn't deserve it. I give the nice guys hundreds of chances!!! But then I turn into the bad guy and they turn into me. It’s not fair and as a result I’ve taken breaks from bad and nice guys and am trying to do some self-evaluation.<BR/><BR/>You blame Meredith for making googley eyes at McDreamy, well she loved him. It's sooo extremely damn frustratingly painstakingly hard to stop loving someone. Doesn't the matter the situation of which the love ends, wife shows up, cops show up, mutual ending, letting love go is hard. And Meredith (who is similar to me) has found a somewhat functional love for the first time in her life with McDreamy, well at least until the wife showed up and it became dysfunctional. She felt like she had done the right thing, fallen for a nice guy and even better he liked her back!!! She did what was healthy, there was no chase, no longing for love, nothing of the such. But as we learned, things are not always what they seem.<BR/><BR/>Like I said before it's so easy to sit back and say "When will people stop going for bad boys and go for the nice guys?", it's extremely easy to say...not so easy to implement. And believe me I've tried, repeatedly.<BR/><BR/>Just my .02.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878269351116341001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-1140708176053554742006-02-23T07:22:00.000-08:002006-02-23T07:22:00.000-08:00I don't know, but I love George, too.
