Seducer Profile: Hank Moody
http://youtu.be/KfeERl00XtA
Look at Hank Moody.
He throws himself in front of a woman’s car, asks her out, gets rejected, threatens to sue her, makes fun of himself, makes fun of her, then asks her out again. In one interaction he manages to scare her, anger her, tease her, hit on her, and attract her.
This is the emotional roller coaster my friends. This is what women crave.
Notice his frame control. Notice how even though her face is dismissive, Hank never doubts himself. He doesn’t apologize–he’s too in his moment. He even makes fun of her last name which would blow out a lesser man.
“Janie Jones.” She says, qualifying herself. And Bingo! Hank is in. She isn’t moving away, isn’t freaking out. She’s standing there as if nothing unusual has happened. She’s waiting for her next emotional spike from this dishevelled and unpredictable charmer; this bad boy with a purpose.
Women rarely meet this sort of guy. Most guys are predictable, nice, polite. Read…
Most men are Boring.
Hank uses some classic, “Push Pull.” He insults her last name, and then when she is nice to him, he rewards her with, “Fantastic. I have a chub.” He makes a dick joke, while although crude, is also a compliment.
A funny thing about this sort of humor is that even though it could go terribly wrong and even repulse a woman with its utter vulgarity, it actually makes a very bold seductive statement. It says:
I don’t give a shit what you think.
I’m ok If you don’t like me.
I’m amusing myself.
I’m not perfect nor do I want to be.
I’m naughty and sexual.
I know what I want.
Even though this could seem pervy, it’s pervy in the best way. Instead of playing the horny truck driver, he plays the misdirected savant; the classy vigilante.
When she rejects his offer for a drink, you think he’s about to beg and qualify himself like a beta would.
Women + Begging/Qualification = Sahara Vag.
“It looks like I’m going to have to employ my considerable powers of seduction.” He states.
And then Hank stares at her silently while the crickets chirp. “I got nothing,” he finishes.
This is funny! It’s charming because he’s making fun of himself, but she knows he is confident enough that he won’t beg. He will never bend on one knee and plead for her attention.
“I’ll be the one staring into the bottomless pit of despair. Get there early or I’ll wet myself.”
This line is totally childish, crude, self-deprecating and absurd. Why does this work better than saying, “Please come to the concert with me? I’ve purchased front row seats and bottle service.”
Because Hank doesn’t need front row seats. He knows he is Hank Fuckin Moody. There ain’t no other Hank Moody, and whatever woman is crazy enough to miss out on him is not worth Hanks time.
Women will tell you they want a nice guy that is attentive and loyal and nice. This her quest for the provider. But the provider doesn’t make her horny. The provider pays for their babies diapers. What they really want is a Hank Moody. A funny, charming, take it or leave it man that is sure to give them a big pillow biting Orgasm and an emotional ping ponging.
I don’t care if you like it. You can agree or disagree. All I ask is you look at your experience and tell me how often being super polite, needy, supplicative, available, and sensitive has landed you a beautiful woman.
And for all the women that aren’t attracted to Hank Moody…Send me an email and tell me why. You may make my next blog post.
I really loved this analysis of Hank Moody and his pick up style.
Lol. I love Californication. Hanks Moody rocks. Just found your blog. Nice work.
😈
I love californication. Just found your blog. I am a woman. Firstly, no matter how dishevelled Hank is, he happens to be a handsome man, which already buys him more time to make a first impression than a less attractive man would have. Secondly, as viewers, we get to see that he really is a good guy deep down- he loves his daughter, he is actually faithful when IN a relationship, he loves Karen, he doesn’t kick women out after sleeping with them, or leave them stranded somewhere, like say a Lew Ashby would (I am currently on the 2nd season only). But I personally appreciate wit. You’re right in the sense that I appreciate a witty man that can do toe to toe with me mentally, and we ARE flattered to know that a man is physically attracted to us. But, hmmm, I think if Hank were less physically attractive and we weren’t privy to the deeper, kinder apects of his personality, he would come off as a creepy guy that we may or may not entertain.
I agree, to a degree. Thanks for your thoughts cj.
So, you’re right about Hank Moody in many ways TD. I often tread the line of perverse witt and seductive charm when approaching a woman that catches my eye. Here’s the problem mon ami…’how often being super polite, needy, supplicative, available, and sensitive has landed you a beautiful woman.’…. Woman, at least the ones with beauty and brains, can read between the lines and notice the second you play mind games with them. Getting a girl by ‘acting’ unavailable, insenstive and self sufficient is easy, but I assure you, if you want to keep her you better do the opposite. Remember, if you’re the player, she’s the coach.
