Scott Baio is 45...and Single - Page 11

Funny how Scott doesn't think he is mean, he doesn't think he hurts anyone and yet after listening to all the ex girlfriends he is emotionally absent. I sincerely hope he can connect, cause it always looks as if he is not listening to anything Doc Ali is saying.

I agree. He doesn't seem to hear them at all. If he was truly sincere in his efforts he would be able to see what all of his exes are saying about him. Instead of just voice-overing that he is a jerk, he would do something to change himself.

Alright ladies...even I agree that 45 is too old to still be single. However, I have to say that I can't blame the guy for being single when he was at the top of his stardom back in the day. Whether you agree with this train of thought or not...the majority, if not all guys in his situation would have done the same thing and gone out with as many models and playmates as possible without committing.

I remember Nicole Eggert telling him that she remembered him flipping through a Playboy as if it were a Sears catalog and then casually dating the girl he liked. That is AWESOME! That is every guys dream whether they openly admit it or not. I can't blame him at all for staying single as long as he has.

Baio hasn't been at the top of his game since about 20 years ago, though. His behavior at 25 is to be expected. The problem is that it's two decades later, his looks are gone, he has no career to speak of and he apparently wants to "settle down." I couldn't care less if he never got married. Hey, if you know you're not the marrying kind, do your future spouse (and possible children!) a favor and stay single. George Clooney has been married and divorced and said he will never marry again. More power to him! I hope he sticks to his guns 'cause he'd probably be a horrible husband. But Scott's supposedly wanting to get married...which I totally don't buy.

I'm also a little surprised. Back in the day, men used to fantasize about dating a Playmate but never wanted to marry one. Porn has become so mainstream these days that people announce it like a badge of honor. Dr. Phil's son married a Playmate. I just think it's funny. I actually don't think it's every man's dream to date a centerfold. I think more likely men want a sexy woman with some substance--who'll save all the good stuff for behind closed doors.

I have brothers about Scott's age and I agree with you about the fantasy.

However, That was in Scott's 20's. He should have started growing up a long time ago. If he really wanted a family and a strong relationship, he would have started being serious in his 30's. He is a spoiled brat.
I agree that he is losing his looks and his income may not be as steady as he likes. I think it finally hit his tiny pea brain that he can't get the twenty-something eye candies he is used to and now "wants" to settle down.
I, however, do not think he is ready for this step. I think he is just scared that he is going to end up old and alone, sitting in a strip club in his 60's giving Johnny V. spending money for the strippers.

What has Scott Baio done recently? Seriously, I mean aside from this show. His career sure went the way of the dodo. Some actors from back in the day have salvaged their careers. Take Rick Schroder for instance. He has been on NYPD Blue and 24. Scott needs his agent or he'll never end up on cop dramas like CSI: NY. You know what I mean? It's like if comedians can land dramatic roles in shows like Kville and childhood stars can resurrect their careers after years of disappearing from the lime light. Why can't he? I guess it's just one step at a time. He's got to fix his personal life first before he can fix his career. The problem is it doesn't seem like he wants to.

Lois Lane · 08-16-2007, 08:14 PM

I think the difference is that Ricky Schroeder was always a really good actor, even as a little kid. Scott Baio was cute and that got him through on sitcoms. I never saw "Diagnosis Murder," so if he was good on there, good for him. I can't imagine him holding his own against Dick Van Dyke, though. Even with Mario Lopez from "Saved by the Bell," he's still good looking (though smarmy), which is getting him gigs here and there. And wasn't Lopez's co-star--that blond kid--also on "NYPD Blue" after Schroeder left? But without his 20something looks, I don't really see what Scott has to offer anyone. Hopefully he made a lot of money and invested wisely...'cause I don't really see Hollywood knocking down his door. Maybe he'll be on "Surreal Life" in another year or two...

I know I said date…but, to be perfectly honest most men do not want to “date” a centerfold. The rest of what you wrote is very true. Every guy wants to date a woman who is a lady in public and a little something more behind closed doors. At least that’s my preference.

Talent. I don’t think Baio has the acting chops like Schroder or Anthony Anderson do. I think that’s who you were referring to when you talked about a comedian in Kville. Anderson, right? Anyway, these guys have more talent than Baio. Even though Anderson is a comedian he can do dramatic roles. You ever see him on The Shield? Baio could probably salvage his career and land a role like this down the road, but I think it’s more important for him to focus on his personal life first. If he gets that down then the rest of his life will start to fall into place.

I've come to the conclusion that scott is one step away from being a total sociopath.
He's almost textbook. The hallmark of a sociopath is an inability to empathize/connect with others and a lack of self-awareness/accountability.
He's clearly incapable of self-reflection in terms of how his actions affect others.
kimrs' point about his insincere "Oh really, I don't remember, sorry" responses is a great example.

I looked up a list of traits common among sociopaths, and they seem to fit scott quite well, especially the last two:
Egocentricity; Callousness; Conscience defect; Exaggerated sexuality; Excessive boasting; Risk taking; Inability to resist temptation; Antagonistic, deprecating attitude toward the opposite sex; Lack of interest in bonding with a mate.

I don't think he has any real desire to change or to get married.
I almost feel sorry for renee. Almost.

Scott Baio is no more interested in getting married than Donald Trump is in donating his hair. This show was he and his agent's idea to try to jump on the reality bandwagon and get his name back out there. He will be a terrible husband, IMHO, and probably not a great father either. He is far too selfish and self absorbed to give of himself, and to me that is what makes a great parent or spouse. Some men are just not cut out for commitment and fatherhood, he is one of them. I agree with the poster who commented on George Clooney being honest enough to admit he will never get married again. I have far more respect for a man who admits, up front, that he is not interested in marriage or children, that allows the woman who chooses to date him, to make an informed decision about whether or not she wants to get involved with him. Look at his friends, especially that little creepy guy Johnny, show me the man's friends, and I will show you the man. The only difference between creepy Johnny and Scott is that Scott's looks, even at 45, don't make you throw up in your mouth. Scott gets first pick, creepy Johnny is the bottom dweller who went around sleeping with Scott's rejects. Though I doubt Scott will ever get married, or if he does, that it will last, the first thing his life coach should have advised him to do was dump that loser friend of his. If Renee sticks with Scott after this (and I read somewhere she is five months pregnant by him), she needs to torpedo that friendship. Of course, if she does, Scott will go around crying about how she is smothering him, and that my friends will be season two, Scott Baio is Married and Miserable.
