Pete Davidson — why I get the appeal of unconventional but funny men

The question of Pete Davidson and quite how he does so well with women is something I haven’t understood at all until quite recently. I always thought there was something utterly grimy about him, but having dated Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and now Emily Ratajkowski – no one can deny he’s not got it, which in Pete Davidson’s case appears to be just BDE (big dick energy) and a sense of humour.

I’d assumed the former SNL comedian was one of those famous types who was famous for doing very little at all, but the fact he’s a comedian makes everything else make sense. Let’s face it, his half-shut, stoned-looking, brown eyes, dodgy facial hair and fairly appalling tattoos (he has the word “Goon” tattooed next to a Great White Shark on his chest) don’t exactly make him attractive in any conventional way.
