I can sum up my affection and appreciation for neurotic Jewish men in two words: Annie Hall.
I love all things Woody Allen: his books, his movies, his silly articles in the New Yorker. I love that he stutters. I love that he rolls his credits before the movie begins and that they are always in the same typeface. I love that Scarlett Johansson is his muse. (Isn't she just absolute perfection?)
The last two movies of his that I've seen, Vicki Cristina Barcelona and Match Point, are quite reminiscent of one another. Both films encompass love triangles with two vastly different women and one man, who, for lack of a better term, is having a hard time keeping it in his pants. It really got me thinking.
I'm realizing more and more that there are two types of women in this world: the kind that men want to be with and the kind that men want.
I need to know... Is it possible to be both at the same time?
heck yes it's possible! my boyfriend said that one of the first reasons that he was so attracted to me was because even though i was flirtatious, i was also very chaste...then we became boyfriend girlfriend, and things got a lot more fun!
ReplyDeleteJGIWC! I often wonder this myself! I try to be this way. I feel like if we can achieve this, whichever man we decide to spend the rest of our lives with will be forever under our spell!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutelyPositivelyUnequivocallyYES. YES.
ReplyDeleteEspecially for someone who possesses so many qualities in the first category, that is abundantly clear from your blog. You are *everything* they want to be with.
Now, that other part, we're not in on that, and TRULY don't need to be, oh no, no need to know, okay?! We'll just say we have every confidence in your many gifts.
BTW, we so agonized over this very issue ourselves, we can't begin to tell you.
Good grief.

Personally, I think it's necessary to be both. First comes the wanting, followed by the wanting to be with.
ReplyDelete:)
Yes you can be both. Guys want a girl with sex appeal as their girlfriend. They dont want someone who seems like they are giving it up all over town.
ReplyDeleteIn my experiences with dating, I will quickly lose interest in a relationship with a girl who uses her sex appeal to make up for lack of a personality or something interesting to say.
haha...if you figure that out-let me know!
ReplyDeleteLike the Eagles song "One of these Nights" says..."I've been searching for the daughter of the Devil himself..I've been searching for an Angel in white..I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both..and I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight" This coming from a male perspective of course. But I do feel women can be a little of both!
ReplyDeleteI just say Vicky Cristina Barcelona and I love what it says about human nature.
ReplyDeleteI do think that a woman can be sexy and desirable as well as fun to hang out with.
Most men probably fantasize about being with more than one woman, but most don't act on it, like they do in Woody's films.
Am I naive?
Yes, you can definitely be both. You just have to be the one he wants to be with before you're the one he wants. They've got to be under the spell of a ladies wit and charm first and foremost. Oh, and I also love neurotic Jewish men (I'm in love with one *swoon* haaa), Woody Allen (save that whole marrying the adopted daughter bit . . . ), and Annie Hall is second on my list of fave movies. It's perfection. Cute blog :)!!
