John Travolta's character


Seems so unappetizing to me... why were women falling over themselves for him?

All of the "men" in that movie were basically Mama's boys. Notice their crappy diets and penchant for cheap ass beer? Unless there was a woman home prepping a meal these guys spend all day stuffing chew in their cheeks and drinking beer. Some would call it Redneck living but these guys weren't even rednecks they were urban laborers just as much as any urban male outside of yee-yaw Texas culture. The movie does a good job showing us how the Good 'ol Boy network runs deep in Texas as Bud didn't really have any advanced skills thus needed his daddy's connections to get a grunt job at the refinery.
