I think part of it is that Wilson is not compatible with women and dates them to make them happy (which we saw tonight, when he wasn't the one to cheat in his marriage with Julie, when Bonnie described him as worried about what the woman wants (but not himself), the affair with Grace, etc). Sex with women isn't just to be normal, closeted, conformist for him. It's a tool to make people happy, and Wilson wants to make women happy because he sees it as the right thing to do, being a gentleman.
But yeah. I'm pretty baffled at RSL's inability to bring sexy back. I don't think him and Gaby even have chemistry. Maybe he's asexual? Because, I mean, most gay people I know can fake or even feel at least a little short-term chemistry with other sexes. Also, Gaby's been in Israel/Germany the past few years, and they've been long distance most their relationship, and I'm not trying to judge, but it looks like a very poorly constructed beard. Like an Abe Lincoln beard you'd wear for Halloween. Obvious.
I guess I'm just thinking...if he's asexual, why does he seem to have chemistry with male co-stars, then? It's just strange, I don't know. I mean, when people are generally non-homophobic and casual about sexuality, I prefer to take their word for it if they say they're straight. Some people just make it very difficult to believe.
"Homina, homina, homina," you know.
And ABE LINCOLN BEARD. I'm going to be repeating that.
We saw him in "Tape," where he's supposed to be straight, I think, and he was totally slashing with the other male lead. No chemistry whatsoever with the female lead
( ... )
There's a kind of focus that straight guys have towards women... like no one else is in the room, or no one else matters at that point. It's like... they're not thinking of anything else than her.
YES, EXACTLY. And um, gay guys are the same way towards other guys (including straight ones). Just something I noticed years ago. I have no verdict to give on bi men, because I don't personally know any offline that I know of.
But, uh, glad someone else sees this sort of...defining energy. It's awfully hard to describe. But it's really crucial, somehow. Completely affects how men treat both women and each other.
When he looks at House, you get the idea that he's not. He's thinking about House.
Yes. It's like he's always calculating what House thinks, how House feels, what House wants, what House needs. Whether or not he acts on that in that moment (maybe he's too busy or pissed or whatever to act on what House wants), he's focused on that automatically.

It's not there with female characters. So...odd.

bi people in general tend to act that way toward people they are interested in, whatever their gender.
