Aside from Chugs Taylor, The Guys would rather just pretend The Notebook never happened. I’ve had a theory for years that romance novels and insanely gushy movies like that give women an unrealistic idea of love and will ruin relationships.
Now it seems Ryan “Little Goose” Gosling agrees with me, and he just doesn’t care. In a recent interview the Notebook star said a guy once told him his fiancée once broke up with him after watching his work, because she suddenly realized that he would not build her a house. Because, in the 21st century, love means building a physical shelter single-handedly, providing funding for supplies, getting it up to code, installing HVAC and then furnishing the whole thing.
