Singer Lana Del Rey’s marriage to an alligator tour guide is a victory for normal guys everywhere and deluded men who think you need to be a 6’5” trust fund adonis to pull an attractive woman.
Congratulations to Lana, who, in recent years, has become a symbol of beauty and grace and Americana among right-wingers online. (Her music also slaps.) Lana tied the knot with a rugged man named Jeremy Dufrene, a divorced alligator tour guide with two kids. They were married by the bayou in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, where Dufrene operates his boat tours. (RELATED: Lana Del Rey Ties The Knot With Alligator Tour Guide, Shocking Fans)
Aside from the fact that Dufrene is blue-collar (which many women find attractive) and can wrestle alligators (which women also find attractive), there is something else about him that has Lana smitten. Perhaps, as lawyer Paul Skallas points out, Dufrene has a ton of charisma despite not having the same net worth and looks as Lana. (Click HERE to sign up for Mr. Right’s weekly newsletter)

“Picture a Cajun gator tour guide—quick with a joke, always making her laugh, off-the-cuff chemistry that slices through her usual melancholy. Lots of stories of animals and danger,” Skallas writes. “There’s something there that has nothing to do with money or fame or any of the stuff we think defines success.”
When I say that their marriage is a victory for normal guys, I don’t mean boring guys. If you are a super boring guy, even if you have a trust fund at your fingertips, you might not be able to attract a pretty woman. Normal guys, though, guys who aren’t making $400,000 a year, playing a professional sport, or holding down a Congressional seat, should never despair if they have some wit and cunning up their sleeve.

A sense of humor is essential. You need to make the woman laugh and make her feel giddy. You need to have that “off-the-cuff chemistry that slices through her usual melancholy,” as Skallas says. Without a sharp sense of humor and some wit, you are going to have a much harder go of it if you are just a normal person with a boring job.
I was at a bar/club once in Tampa a couple of years ago. There was a group of handsome guys there, very tall and jacked. They were wearing designer clothes and fancy watches, probably Rolexes, which are a classic indicator of high net worth. You would think the girls in the club would be giving them the eyes and trying to dance with them. But they were not. The guys were total sticks in the mud. Complete narcs. They were just standing in the corner, away from the dance floor, staring creepily at the women instead of approaching them and busting a move. They were too serious to dance. Too sure of themselves that their looks and Gucci shirts alone would have the girls swooning.
However, there were many dudes at the bar who were not as fit but were nonetheless pulling women who were 9s and 10s. Why? They weren’t afraid to dance, be a little silly, and make the women laugh. They were normal white dudes, but they had that rizz.
