Subject: How Pete Davidson became the Warren Beatty of his generation

How Pete Davidson, now dating Kim Kardashian, became the Warren Beatty of his generation:
https://nypost.com/2021/11/03/how-pete-davidson-became-the-warren-beatty-of-his-generation/
Excerpts:
The “Saturday Night Live” star, now rumored to be romancing Kim Kardashian, has — somehow — become Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob since legendary ladies’ man Warren Beatty.
At just 27, the charismatic comedian already boasts a long list of A-list lovers — including pop superstar Ariana Grande, ageless actress Kate Beckinsale, “Bridgerton” breakout Phoebe Dynevor and supermodel Kaia Gerber. Now, he’s breaking the internet with an assist from that web feat’s pioneer: the most eligible 41-year-old bachelorette in Tinseltown.
Unlike the legendary “Shampoo” sex god, who possesses a matinee idol smile and bedroom blue eyes, Davidson is not what most would consider conventionally attractive, as the lanky S.I. native — who only recently moved out of his ma’s basement — is perennially pale, covered in hundreds of “manic” tattoos (that he’s currently “burning off”) and even declares himself a “red flag.”
The fact that Davidson has scored so many stunning women is mystifying many men who are under the impression they need a chiseled chest and a designer wardrobe in order to attract the woman of their dreams.
But dating coach Cher Gopman — a former psychiatric nurse who now runs NYC Wingwoman, a postmodern matchmaker operation — told The Post guys don’t have to look like Beatty to bed a beauty.
Listen up, fellas: Davidson’s appeal, she says, boils down to the fact he’s unapologetically himself — and that’s likely what has made the former Mrs. Kanye West, another man who lives by his own rules, so “intrigued” of late.
“He’s been famous for years now — and he hasn’t changed for anybody. Women love a man who’s confident in himself,” Gopman, 30, told The Post. “When a man is sure of himself, it makes us sure of him.”
Rumors of a Davidson-Kardashian romance began after the reality TV superstar and beauty-shapewear mogul hosted “SNL” early last month. The pair even locked lips during an on-screen comedy skit in which they played Aladdin and Jasmine from the Disney films.
Last week, the unlikely duo met up again, seen holding hands on a roller coaster at Knott’s “Scary” Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. While Kardashian was styled to the nines on the outing, Davidson was dressed down in baggy pants and a loose-fitting top and sported a messy bedhead.
But, it turns out, it really might be what’s on the inside that counts. Like Gopman, Amanda Eden, 28, who works in TV marketing, says she “would die” for Davidson, noting it’s the “King of Staten Island” sex symbol’s confidence that is so appealing.
“He’s genuinely himself. He doesn’t care about what anyone thinks about his looks or his personality, and that’s not the case for most men in New York City,” Eden gushed to The Post, showing off a framed photo of the funnyman that hangs in her Upper East Side apartment.
While females from Beatty’s generation may have lusted after a more ripped and rugged type of star, modern women are fawning over famous men who are turning typical ideas of masculinity on their heads — from dress-wearing Harry Styles to “twinky” Timothée Chalamet.
As Gopman explains: “Pete Davidson is not doing all the things to be a typical Hollywood man. In fact, he’s kind of changing the way Hollywood is looking at what women find attractive.”
“There’s a reason women are so attracted to men like Pete, Harry and Timothée,” Eden elaborated. “You see them being quirky and funny and laughing at themselves whenever a video goes viral. They don’t hide their personalities. They showcase it and that shows what kind of people they really are.”

Problem is he can’t ever seem to close the deal.

Ol’ Pete is now moving on. He just kicked Kim Kardashian to the curb. Just as well, he was not her type anyway.
