Yes Owen's looking for the perfect mother/wife, looking for her all over strip clubs across america and at the playboy mansion... Sorry to be so cynical, Owen's awesome, I just don't fall for the whole romanticized version of him! This girl's been screwed over a few too many times! lol! I just wanted to clarify something here, I have no doubts that strippers or playboy bunnies can be wonderful wives and mothers, I just meant I highly doubt that's what's on Owen's mind while he's there...

I totally agree with you sculptured. There's nothing wrong with a single guy "sowing his wild oats" as it were. Good on Ben & Christine with expanding their family & I'm sure Owen will be a great dad & husband when the times right. I know if I was his (oh I wish ) then I'd feel better knowing he's got the whole stripper / playboy thing out of his system 1st. Please correct me if I'm wrong in thinking this anyone?

Now it my turn for going off of topic but here goes my 2 cents.
I don’t think Owen going to strip clubs means anything other than that he is a guy. It doesn’t seem to me that Owen is in these clubs every weekend (I could be wrong). Plus, were does one go to if they are looking for a serious relationship anyway? Match.com? Hey, I know people who go to church every Sunday that I wouldn’t bring home to met my family. I’m not saying that Owen is sincere but I do think that there is some part of Owen that is romantic enough to believe in “happy every after”. Also, as any of you other single (and a few married) people out there can verify, it isn't so easy to find that perfect mate.

Also, as any of you other single (and a few married) people out there can verify, it isn't so easy to find that perfect mate. Oh MAC I do SOOOO agree with you! 1. As a divorcee I agree that there is no wonderful place to meet the right person & even if you think you have boy can you be wrong (hence being divorced). 2. When I split from my ex I went a bit wild & "dated" loads too but it didn't mean I wasn't still a believer in the "happy ever after" and 3. Just 'cos someone has "sowed the wild oats" whether male or female doesn't make them a bad person & as even if you are a "goodie two shoes" it doesn't make you good relationship material (also my ex) Sorry to be off thread here but I just feel a bit passionate about this having been there myself as it were (not in strip clubs I mean) but I'm sure you get my drift.

Oh, see now everyone is back to the romantic feelings I started out with! I can't help it, I like to think of Owen in that way too.

Sugar that's exactly my point is - no matter what we do in our past we all (and Owen included) have the capacity to be romantic & loving & sexy & monogamous with the right person!!! ...capacity, yes...unfortunately, sometimes people go through their whole life without finding that person. And the lucky ones find that person...I envy them because sometimes you get stuck with such the wrong person...but then you're stuck.

Oh bubbles you don't have to be stuck - believe me I was with my ex for 10 years in a living hell (far too many bad memories & details to do in to) and it took a lot of courage & guts even though I was scared as hell to leave but I did it! No one has to be stuck - I'm living proof!!

wow penelope, that was a real mood killer i mean, it was completely unexpected Mood killer, yes. But not unexpected. I'm going to be the one to stick up for Ben here. I don't know him. I don't know anyone who went to school with a friend that works for his assitant's cousin. I don't know if he IS one of the meanest people in Hollywood. I do know he had 6 films out last year and numerous cameos in several others, so SOMEONE must like working with him. And I don't know Christine, but I'm sure she's nice. And I can't possibly see her being with someone who is such a horrible person. And the fact that Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara are his parents and one of the best comedy teams ever, I can't imagine them raising an obnoxiously despicable son. As for Owen, well, I don't know him either. But I can't imagine him being friends with someone so hateful. And, also, I'm not recalling anyone actually stating that they wanted to marry or have children WITH Owen. As far as he not being interested in monogamy, I'm pretty sure we're all glad about that one. I mean, if he WERE in a relationship and had kids, well, there go all of those hopes and dreams out there, huh? And I, too, am just stating my opinion. No one has to agree with me in any way. I don't know anyONE or anyTHING. And I, too, am only making presumptions, even though mine ARE of the positive nature instead of the negative.

well said, IMAQT! i didn't mean to sound snobby or whatever when i said it was a mood killer and it was unexpected, but to me, it was completely random to say that ben was one of the "meanest" people around and was a horrible person to work with. like IMAQT said, if he really was like that, why would he be as successful as he is?? anyway, too much ranting going on! back to congratulating ben and christine
