No offense to Tony S., but I found difficult to swallow him with all those gorgeous women (without paying) - Gloria, Valentina, Julianne, and Chrissy's hottie in Vegas. Maybe in the early years. But toward the end, Tony had become a whale and his constant mouth-breathing was hideous. So it had to be money/power.
You could think of it this way: he's certainly not ugly, can be charming and sympathetic, and some women such as Irina desire to be protected by "alpha male" types. I've seen plenty of physically unappealing men with gorgeous women so Tony isn't a stretch.
Be that as it may, Julianna Skiff was just an aborted fling and she rejected his advances after (she also was a troubled addict with poor judgement), Valentina was superficial and attracted to wealthy mobsters, and Gloria had co-dependency issues. The hottie Vegas girl was also just a fling and sexually open and experimental.
I didn't buy that seemingly educated and attractive nurse seen greeting Tony B after having spent the night with Tony during season four. Exposition helps...
Seriously...
Tony is hot!!! It’s different for women...
I find him to be a big chubby teddy bear with a gorgeous smile.
A lot of women are chubby chasers...
My little sister is a rock climber and gorgeous; and she has a serious crush on a chubby charming musician... like BAD.
So I totally get it!
This...I have been obese my whole life and I have been shocked by the amount of Really hot women who I never would have thought would be attracted to me. Thing is sometimes this can give one a complex thinking they can get anyone lol...you will find quickly how fast you come down to reality when you get rejected a few times
I was checking out at the grocery store, 2 cute girls next to me paying me no attention until I pulled out a wad of cash to pay and suddenly one slides right up next to me and 'accidently' bumps me then smiled and said hi. My anthro professor (female) used to say that men compete for women and women compete for things. I mean, look at Trump; he didn't get all those models because of his looks or hot bod.
