Maybe because I am single I don't understand... but...
Damn Michael Douglas... you have that fine-piece-of-tail wife, why on Earth risk losing her for a fling with a random business woman with a 'fro?

Because he was bored.
shareNot only bored but because it was new. Old and new. Men are like that according to Bill Mahar. Made sense after I thought about it for a few years. It has nothing to do with their beautiful wife, it's just new. Men are like that.

Maher went on to clarify: "Hugh Grant had Elizabeth Hurley at home ... and he wanted MARVIN HAGLER IN A WIG"
Also, it's not about Glenn Close instead of Anne Archer, it's Glenn Close in ADDITION to Anne Archer share
He probably didn't have much of a sex life with his wife either (as evidenced in the scene where the kid wants to sleep in their bed and they can't make nookie).
sharean the fact that beauty is different than sexy
shareI agree there. Beth was kind of sultry but she and Dan seemingly had little opportunity for intimacy. He was never going to leave his wife but Alex was a first-class flirt who pulled all of his strings (not that he needed much encouragement).
Alex knew how to work it. She pushed Dan's buttons. But I also think Beth was sexy on occasion but was too wrapped up in raising their daughter (not that this is in any way a bad thing you understand - just that I think Dan felt a little neglected!).

I don't know if Dan felt neglected or that they had little time for intimacy (when horny, you'll make time), but just that beauty and sexy is different

Hi Your Regal Highness, ✨ I feel that is simply put and spot on. Alex wasn't a stunner in the looks department, but she knew how put out all the right signals to get what she wanted. This is what some people don't quite understand about Dan and Alex, that it was her sexual allure that was enticing to him and her sense of wildness, or should that be craziness.

Hello my sweetheart! How have you been?
I agree with all that you wrote!
"These days you have to boil someone before you can sleep with them"
Here are some 💐🌷 for you. It is always a pleasure to read your intelligent and insightful comments and musings on films, especially FA. I must remember to stalk you more often—like Alex—when I need a regal fix. 😊

Forbidden fruit, and the (supposed low level of) risk. And yes, strange tail, crude a term as it is.
