Is there a Bond girl in your relationship?
The moment you start to think of the world's most soave action hero you cannot escape the fact that associated with his image has been a bevy of beauties which have given rise to the concept of the Bond girl.
This raises a certain question which cannot go unaddressed. Bond is the ultimate action hero, sophisticated, talented and dedicated, working for the establishment to protect law and order. Life for him is almost non-stop action which he must survive and deceit which he must unravel. He is focused and driven. So why doe she need a girl? Now I know there is an obvious answer to this question but if we just skip the mechanics of sex for a moment we get to the point that every Bond has had a girl to bring a certain amount of balance in the picture.
Each Bond girl brings an element without which the whole Bond thing would slip into a parody of humanity with a killing-machine like hero going through the motions of living with his only raison d'tre being the dishing out of death and punishment to deserving villains and, incidentally, the idea of such thing as ' top 10 Bond girls ' actually focuses on our perception of which Bond girl was the best complementary to Bond himself, allowing the hero to come to vivid screen life.
Bond girls bring a sense of humanity, warmth, fun and yes, sexuality, into what otherwise would be an unrelenting focus on manipulation and violence and this brings up an interesting point because every relationship, realistically, in order to work, has to work around a dynamic that creates a complementary half out of each person.
Bond's strength and poise is counterbalanced by the grace, beauty and softness the Bond girls into the picture. The moment Bond decided that he can do everything himself, he needs no other human being near him we would then lose all interest because we will have lost that common frame of reference which allows us to empathize with the on-screen hero as human.
Inevitably, in every relationship, we come down to specific roles. This is not so much a case of accepting stereotypes (man strong, hunt for food) but a case of avoiding competing with each other in the same relationship and understanding where and how each partner can support the other one.
When that does not happen you essentially get two people sharing the same living space, each looking for things (and people) outside their relationship to complement what they are missing out on which is pretty much how problems start that lead to an emotionally messy break up.
