Mrs. Robinson vs her daughter: which one are you taking home?
NinaBambina
Who the fuck is Ninabambina?
So you're at a bar with your buddy and encounter a hot mother/daughter duo, and that duo happens to specifically be Mrs. Robinson and her daughter, Elaine. You get to take one home for the night. Your friend isn't picky, so you get first choice. Are you chosing Mrs. Robinson or her daughter? (these are the only options, you can't replace them for other women/characters of the same age)
A male friend and I were discussing this and we had different answers. I will tell my answer and why, but want to hear what you guys think.
Got something to say?

In the era of the movie, Mrs Robinson. She’s experienced and has a checkbook and more likely to be open to some hot sex. Plus in that Era you could tell her make me a sammich and nobody would be offended.
In today’s era, the daughter. The internet has taught women how to slobber and deep throat a cock at an early age and ride a D, the young gals are much more open sexually. Plus she is a millennial and thus living off mommy so she wouldn’t know how to make a sammich but she would be down to buy the avocado toast and Carmel frappucino on mommy’s credit card.
Definitely hot Berkeley student, Elaine.
Also, yay for this movie and yay for the Simon and Garfunkel song. 😁
My male friend chose Elaine simply because she's younger and "less traveled" as he put it.
I chose Mrs. Robinson because she is sex-deprived and middle aged, so she would be eager to please in the bedroom, would probably try almost anything, and be down for several rounds. Elaine seems like she would be very boring in bed and lay on her back all the time. Plus you can find plenty of hot 21 year olds, but a hot woman in her 40s is much rarer (although Ann Bancroft was 35 during filming, for the sake of the discussion let's keep her middle-aged like her character).
Carry on. 😊
A great movie in every way...screenplay, acting, cinematography, soundtrack.
I mean, yeah, I'd probably lean toward Elaine. But Mrs. Robinson seemed a little crazy, controlling and vengeful, and the apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree.
This feels like a bracket question. Gotta put these in alphabetical order, at least as far as we know:
ELAINE
Mrs. ROBINSON
or NEITHER
I choose NEITHER.
It almost tempts one to create a Onion-like newspaper-esque version of what TUSCL would have looked like in 1975. Topics: Do you prefer live bands behind or records during burlesque shows? What kind of tassles do you like? And @JAprufrock's avatar could still definitely be Bob Crane.
Ross probably didn't hit her peak until later, like The Stepford Wives in 1975, while Bancroft hit hers much earlier, like The Restless Breed in 1957 (I had to do some Googling to figure this out, as I might recommend some of you do with your bracket votes). I see both having second or third round potential, but I think the Marilyn Monroes, Sofia Lorens and Racquel Welches of the time would knock them out.
I just put way more thought into that than I should have. I want those last 10 minutes of my life back.
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
As I tell my favorite dancers, I may not be tall, handsome or all that rich, but I like to think I know what I'm doing.
@twentyfive: ... yeah.
Mrs. Robinson. Sound of Silence. Even their version of Scarborough Fair. I may have been negative-15 when that album came out, but timeless is timeless.

Yeah. I know. It's purely speculation on my part, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!😜
In the movie, I would rather have the character of Mrs. Robinson.
In real life, I would have rather been with Katharine Ross.
But mostly, I now want that red 66 Alfa Romeo Spider.
^ @ATACdawg no disrespect but I disagree. It could easily imply that since Dustin was easy enough to just sleep with her, then he wasn't the right type for her daughter. She's just being a good mother while at the same time being a sex slut for Dustin. Plus she's hotter and sexier than her daughter in all ways.
I watched it with a bottle of lotion - not baby oil! Lol!
