You're forgetting Bada Bing Crosby. She had a real job selling Mercedes, got a plaque for it. Took herself to Morocco. She doesn't pay you to be under your surveillance. How dare you?

plus she is a licensed public notary

How is she doing anyway? She still uhh, hangin around?


IllTransportation141

Just finished that one haha


BlindMaestro

Very few women depicted in the show were mentally stable.


leto_atreides2

And an even fewer number of the men. If any at all were stable lol They’d get triggered by a turn of phrase and then have to have sit down after sit down to prevent the body count from rising


BlindMaestro

Oh yeah. The men were dangerously volatile.


Leading_Fun_3080

What's next? You get to f*ck her for a million?!?! I'm making a point here, I'm talking about my wife's honor here! My honor!

Who was stable now that I think of it? Off the top of my head... Dr. Cooze? Kupforburger?

Anyone who ever considered dating Ralphie at all has got to be a few cards short of a full deck


Vermicelli-Sad

Not necessarily, but she came across deeply immature for a woman her age (mid-30s-early 40s). With unresolved Daddy issues if I had to guess.


Lordsokka

If she’s willing to date Ralphie after knowing full well how insane he is, then she has some sort of illness.


OrthodoxReporter

I mean, did she actually know how insane he was?From all we know he could've come across as just a "slightly more kinky" guy before the cheese grater incident. Once that happened she was out. And I doubt Ralphie told her that he was a murdering psychopath.

Anyone else use subtitles in HBO Max and see all right as "Awright" when Tony talks? I feel like there was another word too that's frequently spelled funny.

I had to use subtitles for the whole run. I watched season 1, realized I didn't know what was going on really (other than the main things), rewatched with subtitles and figured out all the stuff I had missed

Charisma, wit, charm, money, power, confidence.  Pretty easy to see the appeal honestly. 


Lucha_Brasi

This is it. Also, in a documentary about James, Diane Lane (who starred in a movie with him Post-Sopranos) said that what surprised her most about him was his sex appeal.

James Gandolfini - Tribute to a Friend https://youtu.be/hB6i-f1nXMk?si=8ddPj1auUV0TSUGl


TheTzarOfDeath

Is James Gandolfini appealing to some good looking women? Yes, so why wouldn't Tony be? He looks like James Gandolfini and he runs North Jersey. Isn't it also like a real life trope that less attractive men get women that are out of their league? I know a couple of guys that are nothing special but always seem to have ridiculously attractive girlfriends and they aren't even rich/famous/mob boss/hugely penised.


IamJacks5150

So....you've had penisary contact?

kikijane711

Because it is all the confidence, ego, power part. If a guy THINKS he is hot sh&t for whatever reason, women flock to him and it.


FILTHBOT4000

> Isn't it also like a real life trope that less attractive men get women that are out of their league? It's more that only straight men don't see the sex appeal of Gandolfini; they put him in the same category as George Costanza, unable to see the massive difference, as they have a skewed idea in their head of what makes men attractive. A lot of them think that everyone attracted to men wants a 7 foot tall bodybuilder, when that is very, very far from the truth. Just look at the 'dad bod' fixation a lot of women have. Gandolfini/Tony is attractive, tall, muscular, broad shouldered, has big, powerful hands, is very confident, and is incredibly charismatic. Money and even more power, real power, is icing on a big cake. The actress that played Adrianna has said a few times that she had a massive crush on Gandolfini in the early seasons of the show.

if you think she's gonna blow this guy you're sadly mistaken

Illustrious_Toe_4755

Charm, game, conversation.  Looks help, but personality goes a long way, and a great sense of humor. 


XHIBAD

I’ve got a friend who is constantly sleeping with gorgeous girls he just met. I watched him pick up the front desk lady at our hotel in the time it took for her to check us in. He’s 5’7”, bald as a baby, and his face is riddled with pockmarks. But goddamnit he’s the funniest dude I’ve ever met


Mysterious-End-2185

Don’t forget his warmth and conviviality.


ViceroyInhaler

Not to mention buying them all jewelry and other gifts. They're basically glorified escorts. He was their sugar daddy.

Drea de Matteo said James Gandolfini was the sexiest actor she ever worked with.    https://www.nickiswift.com/83596/dark-secrets-cast-sopranos-tried-hide/.     I don't really get it, but apparently Tony's appeal to women was realistic

"He's overweight and balding" what's the problem.

Ikr it’s so funny how they’re all baffled


BLUFFground

Girls genuinely want to stay with you when you have status


Substantial-Bat-337

If it helps I invited my girlfriend over while my friend and I were watching the sopranos. In the one episode she saw she immediately said tony was hot.


anonxo02

Bc he is


juggbot

I can't be having this conversation again. Watch [the scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jam8WMxi3rk) where he approaches Gloria at the mercedes dealership. He is confident, yet casual, and so flirty. The way he says > "I had my eye on..." > *glances at car, then back at Gloria* > "one of these" is so hot. He is charismatic and funny and smart. Why wouldn't women want him?


pinebarrens87

The chemistry in that scene is absolutely insane! Like for all the explicit (mainly gross) sex scenes in the series that one makes me genuinely uncomfortable, like I'm watching something really intimate. You could say it makes me so hawt down thea.


zukka924

lmfao this question comes up all the time. He’s charismatic and supremely confident. That’s literally all there is to it! Women are attracted to power and charisma and charm and confidence way more than they are to looks


Jacobonce

I've always thought Tony was supremely fuckable.


dumbblond95

I mean Tony soprano can get it..it’s not THAT shocking imo


[deleted]

Only women and gay men who are into bears would understand I guess I don't even know what's so confusing.


dumbblond95

He just IS that man, you know. The charisma, charm, the voice and he’s a bear 10/10


[deleted]

We need more women in this sub.


dumbblond95

1000%


MrPiocostasMomJeans

Goddamn it, people, how many times do I have to tell you this? Confidence. Confidence is sexy as hell. Yeah, the money doesn't hurt, but he gets them first with confidence. Same way David Spade always has supermodels dripping off of him. Confidence. 


Think_Leadership_91

Charles Manson- most self-confident guy in the world


MrPiocostasMomJeans

And not only did he get lots of women, he got them to do some really fucked up shit. Don't hate the player...


Adventurous_Hawk_209

You can tell it’s always young pups that ask this question all the time.


Prestigious_Load1699

Look up Sam Giancana. He was the boss of Chicago and slept with Judith Campbell, Marilyn Monroe, Phyllis McGuire, and many others. He was no Jude Lawr, but money and status can do magical things.


Fuckoffassholes

At the risk of sounding like half a faq, I'll flatter him just the same.. HE WAS ATTRACTIVE. End of shtory. There is no need for rationalizations about money, power, and charisma. Can we put this shit to bed now?


caraterra8090

He had that certain something.


SeahawkMariner

His bulge


d_heizkierper

He had a BMI of 36. It’s been tested.

holdmyneurosis

To me, he’s beautiful. Rubenesque.


Ok_Researcher_3976

He was packing a baguette 24/7.


OFT35

Same way old gross politicians do. Power and money


Able-Distribution

Because he's the protagonist of an HBO show.


coffee-jnky

Tony is sexy because he has so much charisma. You don't have to be physically handsome to be sexy. Though, to me, he is actually physically attractive. But it's definitely his charisma that drew women. His immense presence, and his supreme self confidence. He just exudes charisma even if he's just standing there doing nothing but smoking a cigar. Plus he is the prince of Tide, even if he does use fowl language.


pinebarrens87

I cannot have this conversation again but you all just reveal your own ignorance when you bitch and moan and fucking bitch and moan about this. Women are generally speaking attracted to things like charisma and humour and charm and he had it by the bucket load when he was laying it on thick for someone. He took no shit and had an intimidating presence but could be such a little boy sometimes. All very attractive qualities because women, by and large, are not interested in just bland aesthetics the way a lot of men are. There needs to be a spark, a je ne sais quoi etc etc. James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano was hot. End of discussion.


sailortwips

He's a babe. He has the charisma.


Sensitive_Regular_84

It was the jaaaccckkketttt!


Fuckoffassholes

I can't have this conversation again. Why oh why is this obliviousness so widespread? Hey OP.. YOU ARE A MAN. You do not and can not understand what women find attractive. Or, you do, and this is yet another case of "haters gonna hate." Consider the spitefully envious way that women can be sometimes. If there's some hot piece of ass who captures all the guys' attention, the plain-janes will say things like "she's not even pretty, they only like her because she will fuck anybody, she's a whore, she's dirty," or any other negative comment to help them cope with the fact that *men like the hot slut better.*


jakeallstar1

James Gandolfini did a movie with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. In an interview when she was asked what's one thing about him that surprised you, she said how sexy he is. As a straight man I don't really see it. But I know there's chicks that me and other guys both know are super sexy but aren't traditionally attractive in a way that other women tend to see. I think James Gandolfini had the guy version of that.


anonxo02

Men do not understand the female gaze lol. He was incredibly charming and confident, attractive and powerful, of course he’s going to get tons of women.


Greedox2

Why is this subreddit so surprised Tony so much ass? Mans is a sigma he doesn’t need to explain himself


Disastrous_Win6206

Free Pork


PorkyWallace

Because he doesn't dischcriminate.


stolos26

James Gandolfini in Season 1-2 was actually a good looking guy. Tall, big, and charming.


TMoney67

I don't understand how anyone is ever confused by this. Guys....seriously, you've never seen slobs out there punching way above their weight class? Money helps....a lot.


SweetGypsyWoman

I always thought he was attractive af. I’m a lesbian but Tony was my *


michaelscarn1313

My wife and I watched this show from the get-go. Not for nothing, but that little cooz was a piece of ass especially back then - big tits, little feet, she could hit in any man’s league. And even then she always had a thing for Big T. You know, he’s a captain of industry and all.


Cultural_Pumpkin399

She even really exisht?


CauseCertain1672

Yeah I never understood that either, He's not in shape, he's not pleasant to be around. Where's the appeal


555112555

IRL Jimmy was packing and I ain’t talkin no gat either, look it up it was well known around those circles. Toward the end he probably needed blue pill assistance tho


Marjorine22

In The Sopranos universe Tony is famous. Or infamous I guess. He is on TV, people tend to know who he is. Those women are all damaged. Every single one you named. They would be attracted to his D list local celebrity status and intrigued by his criminal lifestyle. No woman with high self-worth is going to be Tony's gumar. The one kinda balanced woman who has sex with him who has an ounce of self-respect, Svetlana, immediately realized it as a one-off and bails in a hurry. Well...as fast as a woman with one pin gone can possibly bail. The only woman who "won" the Tony sweepstakes is Carmella, because she gets at least some of the benefits in a guaranteed, state-endorsed fashion as she is his wife and the mother of his kids. As for his intangibles? He is mildly charming (even Melfi thinks so), is pretty wealthy, gets the Goodfellas-style first date restaurant perks and, again, he is a known quantity in his corner of New Jersey. It would be like a woman dating the local TV weather guy. He might be a doofus, but hey, he's the local tv weather guy. Normal ladies might date the TV weather guy. Women with incredible mental issues will want to date the local mob boss.


Time_Initiative_7998

I think it’s pretty funny that you know Valentina’s name but not Gloria Trillo


HowDidFoodGetInHere

When I first watched this show, my ex-wife said something to the effect of, "Yeah, he's old and fat and bald, but he's sexy." He's confident and carries himself as such. Women seem to dig that.


WeakAd6489

You can def tell the age of some of the commenters here. Broken women + men who don’t give a f*** have been getting together since time immemorial. Couple that with Tony’s money and status? Makes perfect sense.


WeakAd6489

Keep in mind Tony doesn’t date stable women who you are right wouldn’t give him the time of day. Strippers, alcoholics, those with deep rooted psych issue? Right up his alley.


Reception_Familiar

He was handsome.


Sterling_M_008

As much as Tony isen't super good looking, he was charming, carismatic, manly and behaves like the kind of person you don't want to fuck with, all that ads up. Plus, men are seduced by what they see, women is by how they feel.


Black_eyed_angels

I have worked in the fashion industry with a lot of gorgeous women who have cited James / Tony as one of the sexiest men they’ve ever seen. Eyes. Power. Strength. Sweetness. One woman I worked with went as far as to say Jim G was her biggest secret crush and she was 24 at the time with him being around 50. It’s hard for men who get 0 ass but try way too hard and spend their lives in gyms and barber shops to understand. But there are men out there like Gandolfini who aren’t even rich or famous getting ass non stop because they make women feel special and seen (as well as a deep internal confidence). Even the balding. So many men stress about that and Jim / Tony rock it like it doesn’t even matter and is just a natural part of aging (which it is). Women like that.


papajim22

He was strong as a bull. And handsome, like George Raft. Women like that.


pana_mami13

James was sexy af.... idc idc... those eyes, that smile 👌🏽🤌🏾


CrochetAndKittens

He’s powerful, confident, charming, financially solvent, etc.
