The Woody Allen Approach

[Alpine]

No nothing to do with under age relatives

I'm just wondering how well he got laid before he was rich and famous?

I must admit I have a similar self depricating sense of humour and from what I've read here it's a bit of a no-no.

Having said that I can't help feeling he managed to laugh a few women into bed before he could buy girlfriends.

Any thoughts?

I think you have a very good question. He's not the best lookingman in the world, so i think he gets women by being himself. He acts like he's comfortable being the wimpy looking guy, and he's confident enough in his uniqueness that he has no desire to change. this creates a reverse psyochology with women. They start to wonder why he's so confident even though his looks don't match up. Then you add the ****y funny aspect to it, and whammo!

I'm a girl and I'm attracted to this kind of guy along with the a confident goodlooking guy. The most attractive thing a man can have to me is "confidence" no matter what he looks like.

Yes, interesting point about the reverse psychology, so what you're saying is women think he's ultra-confident because he's quite happy taking the piss out of himself.

I must say though, I thought Woody Allen's general demina is not one of confidence, but one of total insecurity and self loathing, but there you go.

Hey Seabreeze where you been? I haven't had an intelligent response to my posts all week

Thanks Alpine,

I know, to guys, Woody Allen doesn't look confident. You guys don't have to see it, but women do. It's hard to put into words what I'm talking about, but it really has a lot to do with a guy liking himself. I think a guy like Woody Allen would not have accomplished what he has without having a general comfortability with who he was as a man, as a person, and a woman can sense that in a man. He comes off as a guy who can take women or leave them, he's not trying to impress them, and that's the key here. He's attracted to them, but they must meet him on his terms (and I'm not talking about accepting his personality flaws). I'm talking about women just accepting him for the Woody that he is: a man, a Jewish man, a ****y funny man, a short man, a skinny man, a man who doesn't smile a lot but likes to make other people smile, etc.

So in a word, congruency.

The only reason why women Woody had relationships with was that they fell in love with him. He is a very wimpy AFC type, but doesn't seem like a chump who'd let people run over him. His type would attract only wimpy afc type girls.

People like the familiar, if you start changing the way you dress and the possessions, they feel threatened. Always downplay it because you know you're still the same person even though you may act/look different when you improve yourself. I didn't do this and this brought insecurity to a lot of people. I didn't go back to acting like my usual self either, I just downplay it or tell them that change is normal and I'm still the same though.

Maybe what Seabreeze is trying to say is that a guy like Woody Allen, no matter how dorky he is, is incredibly comfortable in his skin and accepts and uses his personality traits and quirks instead of trying to hide them or compensate for them. And maybe he has a big d1ck......I dunno.

Bingo baby!

P.S. Size doesn't matter.

It also helps that he is one of the most gifted comedians of the last 20 years. If you are legitimately funny (and I am not talking about the usual C & F stuff) that is a huge aphodiasiac to women, Even third rate comedians have really hot girlfriends. I think the reason is because humor hits people a gut, emotional level, not an intelectual level. Women really respond to that.

 

[Alpine]

I should have been a stand up, I do look funny so I'd be off to a good start.

But you really need balls, it's got to be up there with approaching a Nicole Kidman or handfeeding Siegrfreed's Tiger.

If you have the courage to do that, you probably can approach any women. Apparently, public speaking is the most common social phobia.

Woody Allen is a fuccing pedophile pervert.

He ended up MARRYING his adopted daughter after he raised her. Wtf thats as AFC as it gets. pedo.

 

[TheInfamousCBear]

People should stop trying to copy the exceptions to the rule and stick with what works until you get really good...Who knows if Woody Allen got play before he was famous and how he did, just look at the proven working methods...

 

[Alpine]

Isn't there somewhere in the states you can marry a donkey?

 

[Julian]

Yeah its where your dad met your mom.
