Have developed new theory of why women in Torchwood fancy Owen:
You know that thing where someone is so totally gorgeous nobody dares ask them out?
That's Jack.

Then there's Owen standing next to him, grinning, happily attainable.


Now granted the theory seems flawed when Jack talks like he's the most attainable guy in Cardiff, or possibly in this arm of the spiral galaxy, but there's an awful lot more talk than actual doing. So that just adds a slight puzzlement to the dazzle. Exposure to Jack makes people think many sex related things, and then he's wandered off without them.

Owen gets the leftovers.



... well it amuses me ...



I still have an almost finished fic featuring Owen.
This theory has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"Jack's definitely more than attractive enough to seem unattainable for that reason alone. He's also quite weird if you haven't a clue about his background - the clothes, the talk of shagging aliens and getting pregnant, unearthly knowledge, etc. - and I could see how that might put the Torchwood folks off him as a potential partner, gorgeous or not"

True, but this actually makes him more appealing in my case, I like weird :-). Owen is just TOO persistent. This often gives the impression of desperation (he's really very insecure) which would put a lot of women off. I tend to agree that a lot give in out of exasperation and the rest are probably as sad and desperate as he is. I feel quite sorry for him on occasions.
