Dating In Hollywood

I'm probably the worst person to give any advice in dating in Hollywood. However, probably also the one with the most common sense. Because most of us guys will fall for a hot actress and women will most likely fall for a handsome actor. This is why some of us got into the industry. BUT, one must see making films the same as at work: Do you really want to get involved with people you work with?

Answer: Probably not.

I've only seen a handful of people who made this work. Julia Roberts married a cinematographer. Anna Kendrick is dating one. Camera people are, for the most part, really nice people. But they're also constantly wanting approval. Not as bad as the directors though. A lot of directors are emotional wrecks. The cinematographer actually is more the father on a film set than director. They seem to compromise a lot more and talk irrational people off from cliffs (heavy drinkers).

This implies that you have to look for someone outside of the industry in order for it to work. And that seldom works as well. Your hours are very odd. And you can't commit to many things. Someone who accepts those terms has to have the patience of a saint. And also, because of those hours, you are really cranky and most likely don't want to hear about anyone's day. So there's that.
Dating is awful here for the fact that all you run into are other film people. They tend to think they know more than you (which they may) but this leads to a lot of animosity. Specifically between two actors. Two actors dating is a shit show. If either quits, it actually works out. Saw it one time.

Okay, so where do you find a relationship? I have no idea. My advice is to just hang with people when available. Balance is key (I guess). Being on set for 12-16 days warps your brain to believe that things are immediate (they aren't, believe it or not...things move at a glacial pace in the "real world" in the "movie world" you hurry up and wait).
I'd say, think of Hollywood like the military. You get shipped out so many months a year, so say your goodbyes when you can. And "I love you's" constantly.
I don't consider that world fair either. Soldier wives are whores. Sorry guys, they are. Guess what that makes movie wives?
