Can you date Angelina Jolie? Probably not. But that still doesn’t mean aspiring daters of mind-blowing beauties cannot learn a few things from Jolie’s past relationships, eccentric tastes and sporadic behaviors. Let’s face facts here: Angelina is certainly one in a million, but she’s a sexual being like the rest of us, with a host of likes and dislikes, turn-ons and turn-offs.
What does a woman like Angelina look for in a man? Well, first and foremost, you wouldn’t find her using online dating sites. Angelina has said that she strongly dislikes personal weakness and “needy” individuals, meaning she wouldn’t show these attributes when vying for a beau.
Growing up estranged from a famous father, Jolie developed a fierce independent streak and has always attempted to take whatever she wants. She’s the quintessential type-A in that respect, and anyone approaching her would need to display true confidence and swagger, and come across as dependent yet still submissive to her will.
This perfectly explains the Billy Bob Thornton situation, in case any Angelina fans were still wondering how she pulled a Julia Roberts and hooked up with a younger version of Lyle Lovett.
Jolie is also spontaneous and rebellious in the truest sense of the word. Her devil-may-care, hands-on relationship with her brother, making out with her boyfriend’s best friend, and even (supposedly) dating her mother’s boyfriend are all signs that Angelina is a live-for-the-moment woman who wears her emotions out on her sleeve. She wants what she wants and doesn’t care what the world thinks about it.
Any type of woman showing these qualities needs an equal match. Jolie isn’t the type to date the proverbial “science project.” Her potential mate would be wild and willing and down for whatever…
A fierce free spirit, women like Angelina don’t put their eggs in romance’s basket. Chivalry and the archetype prince charming might earn a smile, but it wouldn’t result in reeling in the big fish.
Moreover, Angelina is the type of woman that self-help dating gurus wouldn’t even teach you about. She makes the list as “unapproachable” due to her natural repellent of any and every cheesy pick-up line or tactic known to exist.
Her type can be referred to as a “taker” in some circles, meaning a few things: She’ll take the attention if she wants it, she’ll approach you if you’re worthy of more than a once-over, and if you step to her with any kind of game, she’ll take your pride and crush it like an empty soda can.
Oh, you think all that went out the window with Brad and that the uberattractive Mr. Pitt somehow wooed Angelina and swept her off her feet? Well, switch it around and you’d be correct. Jolie fell for Pitt initially due to, in her words, being “married to his best friend.” This set Angelina on a path to take what she wanted, and Brad couldn’t possibly resist.
So, guys, there is a lesson here. If you meet the “Angelina” type, don’t force it along. If you’re the type of person she’d be interested in, then it will develop naturally and she’ll eventually become the aggressor. You have to cash in your hopes of ever dating Jolie, but knowing how to deal with her type can score you big points in the dating department.
