Henry Cavill Is Scared to Flirt Because He'll Be "Called a Rapist"... Why did he say that in public?

[LEGS MAHONEY]

Eh like the other person said in regards to a male celebrity it makes sense to be cautious giving an accusation can derail your career now.

It's not much of a concern for regular guys

 

[Torrid]

With Justice League tanking I guess he had to say some dumb shit to stir the pot.

Get off the cross though dude; you have it much better than most.

 

[SmilinDesperado]

No, you don't know.



People only know about someones personal life if they talk about it. What we know beyond a shadow of a doubt is what he said, so I am not going to create a fantasy based on what is not said. That, to me, would be irrational.

That is frankly very stupid.
Conversations and language does not work like that. You are being completely irrational to say otherwise.
It has nothing to do with "creating a fantasy", it's called using common sense.
Words can easily be taken out of context when you weren't there to hear the whole conversation.

 

[MikeMcMann]

Why do people take these little blurbs and quotes from random interviews with celebrities as 100% gospel truth?
He's an actor talking to someone he met 5 minutes prior about some abstract and personal shit on the fly.

If you pulled up a random line from a random conversation i had with someone, you could probably easily tear its logic apart, or catch me embellishing or exaggerating a statement.
That's not any way to understand someone's real thoughts on an issue...taking random quotes from the conversation without any clarification and detail.

You seriously think that Henry Cavill has trouble picking up girls? It is retarded to take statements like this as 100% truth. I'm sure there's a lot more to that story if the conversation had continued

I agree with you but just to be accurate and clear Cavill never says he has any issue picking up women. That is disingenuous spin by @Pupi and @The Big Bang Bang who are misrepresented what he said.

What he said was that it felt there was less risk of being caught up in a MeToo situation by dating women he already knew and had relationships with and therefore knows what they are capable of then in dating new unknown women for the first time.

That, in no way, as @Pupi is lying about suggests he struggles to pick up women and that @Pupi is better at picking up women than him as he is saying.

 

[MikeMcMann]

Lol I don't have any authority on this forum and I'm not trying to impress you, so besides my assumption that you have a fragile ego and I upset your belief in a magic formula for success with women, I don't understand why you're so offended. Fame, good looks, and money are clearly no indication of success with women since the subject in question admitted to being scared and unsuccessful. He even suggested to going back to a previously unsuccessful relationship. Your argument is based on assumptions and mine is based on evidence Cavill himself provided, so whats your deal?

He never said that.

You are flat out lying.

 

[TheGreatA]

He is scared of women.

How and why Sherbros are giving him a pass is beyond me...

Whereas The Rock would NEVER say some cry baby shit like that.

You've never seen "The Rock" with a woman in public (even when he wasn't married) for a reason. Because he knew the game before others knew that the game even existed.

He'll never say it because he's not dumb enough to say it. He's too career-minded for that.

 

[Pupi]

OMFG you are pathetic. Deluded and pathetic.

We know.

No you don't know that about me, but thanks for sharing more about yourself and how you fantasize about Cavills personal life and his body. Now the picture is becoming more clear as to why you're so offended.

He has maybe the best male physique of all time, as I judge it, in that scene coming out of the water in Man of Steel. I think women are beginning to shift towards a less masculine build, though.

Definitely an inspiration/blueprint to emulate when pushing around the iron, IMO.

 

[Gregolian]

That doesn't take away from my argument of him being unsuccessful in that relationship and being so scared of being humiliated by women who consider him too creepy that he is willing to entertain the idea of returning to an unsuccessful relationship.

My thing is he seems, based on what we see of him in the public eye at least, to be a genuinely decent person so part of me wonders if he isn't the overly cautious type.

Like, my second job at the bar I see PLENTY of guys that just kind of stand on the outside of the dance floor looking severely uncomfortable/unsure if they should go dance with the pretty obvious single girl. One of the other bouncers I work with who is married to our head bartender was so damn confused by it he asked the dude and the legit response was "I didn't want to try dancing with the girl and then have her freak the fuck out on me" which seems irrational but then I remember kicking a girl out of a bar once, lightly putting my hand between her shoulder blades to guide her out and then her screeching like a banshee that I was sexually assaulting her.

[MikeMcMann]

Hey man, I do not like slut shaming.

Bang and let bang.

...but comments like Cavill made are PURE fucking nonsense.

Girls who are very experienced are hoes...while guys are champions...

...no. There should be no distinction there.

Sluts (be they men or women) are fine, unless they cheat on their partners and or spread Herpes...etc.

But personally, I do not find sex to be "casual". Fuck that.

Hot girls are a dime a dozen, but girls who are worthy of ones maximum effort are...very uncommon.

Lastly, I fear no woman. I trust my sensibilities, but said trust has to be EARNED.

OMG you have issue and need help.

Your rant here has nothing to do with this thread and the topic. And you are the only one slut shaming. YOu are the one suggesting any girl wanting casual sex has something wrong with her and is a slut and you make no distinction in any circumstance even the one I portrayed I was in where the gal was just coming out of a long divorce and was not ready to jump into any relationship. To you she is simply a slut.

 

[MikeMcMann]

"I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I'm old-fashioned for thinking that," he admitted.

"It's very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it's like: 'Well, I don't want to go up and talk to her, because I'm going to be called a rapist or something.'

"So you're like, 'Forget it. I'm going to call an ex-girlfriend instead, and then just go back to a relationship, which never really worked,'" he continued.

Cavill said that there was a new environment where the old culture is not acceptable anymore and he is not willing to risk performing in that environment out of fear. That fear, he said in the underlined portion above, makes him willing to return to a relationship that "never really worked."

It sounds to me like I was 100% on the money when I claimed that he is scared of talking to women in this new environment AND that he is even willing to return to an unsuccessful relationship because of that fear. All of this equals a man who is successful with women to you?

Nothing you say or quote above speaks to what his success ratio with picking up women can be.

FACT - you can be scared to do something and YET still be very successful when you do it.

 

[MikeMcMann]

I think his line @Pupi about going back to an ex wasn't him actually doing that but a hypothetical scenario.

Yes he is saying that ex, that KNOWN person and knowing how they act and react makes him feel safer than meeting or picking up someone new and risking a MeToo accusation.

What he is not saying is that he is unable to pick up a new person.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Maybe im out of line, but if he is being interviewed to promote an upcoming movie, why is he being asked questions that have nothing to do with the movie?

 

[Morning Star]

After seeing what happened to Chris Hardwick and to a lessor extent Aziz I don't really blame him. The mob is constantly looking to tear people down and their agenda takes precedence over evidence. They don't care if they ruin an innocent person's life/career.

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Maybe im out of line, but if he is being interviewed to promote an upcoming movie, why is he being asked questions that have nothing to do with the movie?

This, his reply should have been

"next question, a relevant one please"

 

[MikeMcMann]

...
I feel like a translator, but the funniest part, the irredeemable part, is that you actually think a guy as famous, rich, good looking, tall, and muscular as Cavill can't get women if he wanted to LOL. I think honestly your implication of this is by far the worst part of your argument, which makes me feel you are having a good laugh at my (and others) expense. If so, well played.

Actually the funniest part is he is trying to maintain that he has more success with women than Cavill can or does and hides behind 'you don't know me' thinking that is his proof and shield.

 

[Ultra O’Dia]

Regular folks, sure. Celebrities, not so much. Cavill is speaking for Cavill, and his concerns are justified.

Celebs, and also anyone with money. I can guarantee that I have some potential #metoo’s. But, I dont have enough money to make the tirades worthwhile. Its built-in anti-Capitalism, really.

 

[Hog-train]

It's an oxymoron.

Casually bangin hoes left and right is not brag worthy.

Well, to some people that is their goal in life, but...to each their own.

Ideally as long as diseases are not disseminated...good.

For the millennial generation, it is the will of the women as well as men who bang casually. It's a 2 way street.

 

[LuchaBear]

I understand his point but the delivery was awful. Then again I don't think there's anyway to answer that question on the spot with out sounding awkward. It's an awkward question and it's stupid to ask.

 

[Renard]

I think it's sad to stop yourself from living your life because there's a small percentage of something going wrong. It doesn't sound like he's big into the party lifestyle, so he's not particularly at risk either. Flirting to find a new long-term girlfriend is very tame. It kinds of reminds of MGTOWs who are like "I'm going to make myself lonely and alone on purpose! Ha! Got you good, women!"

 

[punky brewster]

I think every male celebrity, whether an actor, musician, athlete or politician, should just reply "my attorney has advised me to not answer that" when asked any question that even broaches the topic of #metoo or gender poltics. These garbage magazines, websites and blogs will run out of material quickly. They've made it abundantly clear they don't want to hear any opinions that don't resonate in their own echo chamber.
