[disclaimer: these are only my poor random thoughts]
It is a constant source of fascination to me that so many women idealize the BG character. Well why not, after all, through out time women have romantized all sorts of male heroic figures. The BG character calls out to the heart of the lonely woman. Most women would like someone to adore them and love them for who they really are. It can be the ultimate female fantasy. Someone to be sensitive in private, but strong and dominating in public. He's also someone who is secretly lonely.
Additionally, the BG character has a sad childhood history which he managed to overcome. The whole possibility that he could have gone the other way, to the dark side, with such a background suggests a bit of a naughty side to his personality in certain situations. This is very alluring because he could be dangerous if provoked.
Another factor is the physicality of the man who plays BG. He is a large, athletically built man with the face of an avenging angel. Someone who really could protect (and serve) if need be. He is no poser, he is an alpha male type that many women find irresistable.
Here is a man consumed with a noble purpose, he's focused on his task to rid the world of bad guys. Unexpectantly, he has a romantic epiphany because he encounters *---* (mrsbg for example). This woman is his psychic match. He realizes then that life is more than the job. His sexuality is reawakened as never before all because of *---*. Naturally under these circumstances he is the sweetest, most intuitive lover ever.
This love match must be made with someone who is equally as clever. BG would only be turned on by a smart girl. She might even possess areas of knowledge that he is less informed of. He finds her enchanting, as she does him. They make each other laugh on the dreary days. They live happily ever after, not smoothly or uneventfully, but they are fiercely loyal to one another. This loyalty can be strained occasionally, but it is an unbreakable bond. Thus, they would each leave behind their lonely pasts.

Great post Claire.
I do believe Vincent has created an awesome character in Goren... part of me wonders what elements of vdo are there and part of me wonders if there is someone out there he has based the character on.... in which case where is he, let me get my hands on HIM?
The many faceted Goren; pushy when need be, but compassionate too. He knows which buttons to push on which characters. He analyses them, their personalities, just by a chance word or gesture, he has the measure of them. He is an enigma... when I think he is being too soft for the wrong reasons and sometimes when he pushes too hard I sit and squirm and think to myself he is cruel.
I believe he controls a deep embedded anger when he sees injustice and I'm sure nothing would give Goren greater pleasure than thumping some perps.
Goren couldn't be with a 'yes' woman... he needs someone intellectually stimulating, but feminine too for his strong protective masculinity to shine through.
Yeah, Claire, sometimes lonely girls think too much, but Goren is a wonderful subject to wile away the time... LOL
lotsa luv ann xxxxx
Thank you. Yes, he is.
true, true and true again. lonely girls might think too much, but at least we have some really nice thoughts... ;)
I try.
I guess I'm a lonely girl who thinks too much....But the thought's Vincent/Bobby inspire....
Wonderful post Claire.
Think the same as Tess, “....the thought's Vincent/Bobby inspire....”
Good post Claire and a very good blog!
I adore him so much it hurts my heart. Even more so to realize how perfect he is and how unrealistic that is to expect in day to day life. I mean, when you've fallen for Bobby Goren, why bother to set yourself up for disappointments elsewhere. Sigh. You summed him up beautifully.
Yes - lonely girls can think too much! But for those of us who are girls who think, only a man like BG will do!
Your post it so so true - I get tearful. How could anyone else compare to BG/Vincent.
We have all hit on the sadness of adoring BG/Vincent - he spoils us for other men. (But for real, not like the delusions of Dr Scott Borman in Zoonotic)
