"...after seeing Robert on TV, are we really equipped to diagnose him???"No way! Who can really tell what someone is all about, especially on something as public as "Reality TV". Who really knows what Robert's motives truly are. He's on "Blind Date" and "Cupid" and me thinks I smell someone looking for Hollywood status. (This from someone who has lived in CA for her entire life.)
I have traveled to Europe on different occasions. In my experience, the men are more open and forward...HOWEVER...I never felt their affections were necessarily more sincere than any other guy! IMHO, Robert is acting, not feeling.
