Dating Expert Reacts to MEET JOE BLACK | How to Approach a Stranger in Public

[@LeezPgh]

When he said “maybe lightening could strike”... that’s something her dad said to her. So it felt like a “sign”.

[@michellecrocker2485]

You know Susan kinda takes that as a sign because her dad said the same thing in the helicopter

[@michellecrocker2485]

I wanna think that she might have broken up with that weasel of a boyfriend over this meet cute

He didn't acknowledge his environment when he crossed the road 😂😂

I also thought (while watching this movie for the first time) that her commenting on how fascinating his conversation was with his sister, that was her way of letting him know he could carry the conversation with her if he wanted. If she really didn't want him to talk to her, like she's busy or just doesn't want to socialize with him, she probably would've left it at "no problem" after he apologized for being loud and acted closed off about it.

[@windwhisprz]

I'm always amazed how closed off people are when in public places. It's kinda disappointing. It's fun to engage with strangers, I have had some incredible moments. But I think so many people are not interested or perhaps they are fearful?

[@Matt_Nor]

I think it is a combination of interest, fear and time. Our time is valuable and if you look at it as money... how would you like to spend your time during the day. People may be fearful due to the standard and how we behave. Whether it be on social media, dating apps or in real life. Being interested or uninterested is up to your scheldue and very subjective. That's what i believe.

[@stephanieaustin-powell7313]

Sometimes smiling or saying hi to people on the street is so sad- people frequently won’t acknowledge a greeting at all or seem surprised or taken aback like they don’t know how to respond- I don’t think we should all have to be so alone

If, in some universe, I was her, first thing I would think is he is probably like this with everyone. Plus the fact that he is so attractive would make me think he's got a lot of game because he has to be social being that attractive. I know, stereotypes, but if you dont know the person, you rely on that to protect yourself I guess

[@boydcochran4692]

Most of the women I’ve dated or whatever tell me it’s the way I talk and I’m nothing special. Sometimes that good looking dude might just be into you. But yeah you gotta protect yourself bc you never know so I’m contracting myself

“Maybe lightning could strike” was foreshadowed and gave her that A-ha! moment, which also kind of freaked her out, but gave her the green light to be more open and pursue the potential relationship.

[@caroliinec]

Not only did they not exchange contact information...they didn't even exchange names!😭 thank you so much for breaking down the objectification and dehumanizing topic. So helpful!

[@ale-ayuda]

Wow your explanation in this video is great!!! I loved how you explained every action that Joe (brad) did and what it meant, especially the moment that his "threading" in the conversation to expand the conversation further. I have problems with "threading" and your explanation help me so much in understanding how to do it in any situation, not just with strangers.. I haven't even finished the whole video, but I had to post this to THANK YOU ANTHONY!!!! hope you post more videos like this one👍

[@AL_-uy5co]

I love how you explain things..makes so much sense and is so helpful to someone like me whose for the most part introverted and have a certain level of social anxiety..I’ve never heard things explained so simply but so helpful! Best advice I’ve heard so far..binge watching your videos now 🙌🏻

[@natural91LC]

this was GOLD. Fantastic job Anthony!

[@mitcheroar]

The music in this movie, especially this scene just sells it all..

[@マシュードーラン]

You’d be surprised how easy it is to chat with someone in public and just be absolutely real and engaging. The only people that don’t open up to a stranger have their individual reasons but for the most part if you’re just positive, interested, engaging and back/forth well you can talk to almost anyone

[@randomspirit6061]

1) When she says"Its fascinating" she gave a great signals of attraction. So thats reason why he didnt scare her away with too many compliments. But it was too many anyway. On the other hand its always better to show too much interest when you are attracted, then not showing interest at all. You dont wanna end up in friendzone. 2) When showing interest its sometimes better to do it by the way. Not so straightforward. Like when he is playfully creating their future together. "If we are married..." This is very great tactic because he is creating that possible future in her head and she is investing to it emotionally. If girl likes you she will play the game and invest in this with her own ideas or jokes. 3) He is obviously not some pickup artist, but he would get her anyway. You dont need to be Brad Pitt to pick up girls. You dont need to be smooth all the time. You just need to go and start conversation. And improvize from there. Just try it in whatever state you are. Even if you are ugly. Or sad. Or tired. Or in crowded place. Or..... If you dont go in you have exactly 0% chance. And everything is better than 0. 4) If you talk to her for more than 3 minutes ASK FOR HER NUMBER. Always. Its almost an insult if you dont.

[@riffraffrichard]

If you say something sincerely and from the heart it tends to do well no matter what. I remember meeting a girl and within the first few minutes I said I like you , your lovely because I really felt it. It came off well.

[@taytay37842]

Yay I'm so glad you did this one!!!

[@alliceson6464]

Please do a part 2 of Tom and Zendaya they've changed so much in interviews!!

[@matthalo89]

One thing that makes this situation ok in her mind is the fact Brad Pitt’s character is attractive. If he was considered average looking or below that then people would be annoyed, bothered, think you were rude, etc. Attraction starts with looks. Think about how before we ever speak a word to someone we look at them and see them. What happens in those first 5 seconds of first seeing them? We decide if we like their looks. Pretty girl walks in a room and you see her. Immediately you think she’s pretty and then the next step is conversing. But if the girl doesn’t find the guy good looking, nothing the guy does will matter.

[@Ender7j]

Yeah, these kind of things only apply to the 20%

[@kalliejackson7170]

PS I'm in shock that you actually did this I love this movie for probably all the right reasons that you're actually making a video about it I've been wanting someone to break this movie down that's really funny actually God is great all the time

That failing to get the number thing is very real. The first time I met the love of my life, we spent two days together falling in love, and neither of us was brave enough to risk rejection by asking for the number. We parted with no way to get back together. Pure fortune put us back together again a few months later for another two days, in which our love blossomed all the more, and STILL we didn't exchange numbers. Fortunately a much wiser and older soul was present who saw what was happening between us. He took out out for a snack when all was done, and himself assured that we exchanged numbers. Turned out though that it didn't matter, as she took me home that night and took my cherry. That is a very brief summation of just a couple of chapters of a true romance that could have been right out of a book.

[@aryers0n]

There is a phenomenon known as the “halo effect”, in which upon first impressions, attractive people are perceived more positively. People tend to assume attractive people also possess other good qualities like being kind or interesting. Imagine if it were Willem Defoe in this role 😂

[@lauren-q6f]

This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours

[@boxorfurnace]

Funny, you missed the line “lightening could strike”…that’s why she reacted in a shocked way and said “it was so right it’s scary”. Her father had used that line with her earlier, when talking about how important in life it is to find someone you REALLY love. Watch the whole movie, not just this one scene.

[@glo.v]

brilliant reaction video. always loved this movie.

[@kongvue5160]

It's because she has a boyfriend. This is the reason why she was hesitant to proceed even though she felt the spark. It's like taking a risk if she goes with Brad he may be the wrong guy and will lose the current guy. If Brad actually pressed on her more after they were outside. Asking for her phone or asking if he can see her again. She would have given in because her current boyfriend doesn't show much interest in her.

[@matthalo89]

It seems her being with a guy like Drew (I think is his name) who is successful, driven, and business savvy doesn’t pay her much attention is a common tale in the world of dating/marriage. Lots of guys win girls over because they can charm them but the guy is like Drew in the sense he only gives attention when he wants to but otherwise is hyper focused on his stuff and what he wants to do. The girl is just something nice that’s there when he wants to acknowledge her. Kinda like a nice painting hanging in your house you glance at every now and then. If she hadn’t met Brad’s character she probably would’ve married the boyfriend and lived a very lonely life with him. Rich and lonely. She would end up cheating on him because she’s just that-lonely. And he would’ve already been there done that and cheated on her eons ago on business trips while she sits alone in a big, empty house. Common tale. I know this is a movie but it reflects truths about our reality. It couldn’t be more true.

[@tcrijwanachoudhury]

This is so fascinating to watch as a woman and someone who _isnt_ American, especially in the beginning, like talking loudly for no reason is not attractive imo, I think a big reason why shes okay with it cause of what he was saying on the phone and how he talked to her.

[@pracowniaswiadomosci]

Ok, Anthony, you have very velvety voice and it is comforting and attractive. The things that do stand in the way are here 1. The sound of your recordings is too sharp, inadequate kind of mic makes the voice sound artificial with metallic echoes. (I am not a tech expert but I got my yeti blue and it pays off in podcasts). 2. You tend to use your voice like a voice actor: comic effects, whining, mimics and this makes your natural voice go less pronounced. 3. Your natural voice has very much allure and it is really appealing - if you want, you can record a more relaxed video (no reaction), just you and what sparks your interest, what you bring to the table. 4. You also have a bit cogested sinuses 😅 It can be taken care of. From what I hear, most Americans do have that kind of voice 👃 Voice is powerful, I wholeheartedly stand with what you do on this channel and I wish you to relish in the beauty of your voice when it flows only for you and your pleasure. Right now, with your voice, you do not appreciate it and you use it as a mean of epression of some content (like intelectual or personality). The voice is not a tool alone. The voice is like a body part. Like a soul part. I wish you all the nice things with it 🎶

[@GiorgiaChianca]

I wish this would happen in real life... to find a man like him. ❤️

[@eighthdoctor]

Nice breakdown of that scene. I think she doesn't ask for his name and/or number here and keeps debating whether to walk back to Pitt's character is because at this point in the film, she already has a boyfriend.

[@brunellacesaro7516]

DO TOM AND ZENDAYA DURING THE NWH PRESS TOUR.

[@lmsossi6501]

Interesting assessment, but Pitt's character doesn't become the devil. Death takes the body of that young man to experience life. He ends up falling in love with Claire's character and she with him. When he chooses to let her go at the end because he realizes that she still saw him as the man she initially met, he gives that guy back his life and returns him to her. Death had been told he was being selfish and ultimately learned that love isn't selfish, letting her go rather than taking her life so he could have her forever. Claire's character realizes when she speaks to him that he is once again the guy she met in the diner and that the other incarnation of him was actually Death. It's done in a very understated way where the realization shows on her face and she says that she wished he could have met her father as she now knows Death had come for her father and taken him.

[@AnthonyRecenello]

Beautiful. Thanks for this context.

[@patricksmith9717]

[@Leisurelee53]

[@continental_drift]

"Meet Joe black" is loosely based on "Death Takes a Holiday"

I think part of it here was that brad Pitt’s character was also a little frustrated with what his sister had been through. Like a good big brother, he hates what she went through
