Why is Brad Pitt (yes, that one) struggling to find a new girlfriend?

[Uncharted]

As many of you have heard, Angelina Jolie officially filed for divorce back in 2016. While they continue to battle it out in court, Mr. Pitt has reportedly been struggling to find a new girlfriend this past year and a half.

Coffee-shop cold approach rejection:

"Perhaps in an attempt to change things up right before the new year, in early January news broke that Pitt had allegedly been attempting to rejoin the plebeians, shifting his flirting for what seemed like the first time ever from Hollywood to the real world. In an acknowledgment that this was a rather impossible feat, he opted to go not by Brad, but by his birth name, introducing himself to a woman in line with him at a coffee shop in L.A. as “William.” Things didn’t go exactly as planned: She reportedly responded by remarking that he in fact looked like a Bradley, before strolling out of the café."

Emilia Clarke:

"About a year after Kate Hudson told Andy Cohen that she actually “kind of liked” that false rumors about her dating Pitt had been circling around earlier that year, the actor seemed to accept that if he wanted to move beyond flings that were “nothing serious,” the easiest way would be with one of his own kind—i.e., another single celebrity. Leaving "William" behind, Pitt took an entirely different tack just a few days later by publicly and unabashedly bidding $120,000 to simply watch an episode of Game of Thrones with Emilia Clarke. Alas, Pitt didn’t even succeed at that; he was ultimately outbid, and while Clarke has gone on to say his move made that “the best night” of her life, and of course received a multi-thousand-dollar confirmation of his interest, she certainly doesn’t seem to have pursued Pitt."

Tiffany Haddish

"After the Oscars, in March, Tiffany Haddish told Kelly Ripa that a run-in with Pitt in an elevator at the awards ceremony had led to a pact between the two: that if “in one year, if he's single and I'm single, we gonna do it.” Even then, Haddish wasn’t entirely sold on the idea of their hookup, making a point to add, “I don't know if I could deal with a man that's got that many kids.” Once she found out that everyone had actually been taking her story seriously, though, she made it crystal clear that to her, that was not only outlandish, but perhaps even offensive. “So funny to me, it was a Joke but I Love how serious you all are,” she tweeted in response to TMZ’s post about their so-called pact, making it clear that as far as she’s concerned, Pitt has way too much baggage. “I want to be number one in a man’s life. he has a lot of kids that would make me what number 8 or at best baby Mama 2. And as much as I would love to chitchat with Angie that is not what I want to be talking about.”

Shania Twain

"Over the summer, Pitt suffered another blow when, on a press tour for her first studio album since 2002, Shania Twain shared the headline-generating tidbit that it was Pitt’s nude photos that so famously didn’t impress her much. It was a bit of a blow to Pitt, especially considering that at the time, he was not only having trouble on the dating front, but still deep in the throes of tackling his divorce and sobriety, the latter of which he’d only recently, and quite seriously, opened up about."

Neri Oxman

"Finally, Pitt seemed to hit the jackpot earlier this year when it was reported that he, like George Clooney before him, had somehow ended up with a woman way out of his league. The rumors that he was dating the “rockstar M.I.T. professor” Neri Oxman, whose work can be found in the collection of institutions like the Centre Pompidou and MoMA, were in fact so exciting that no one seemed to pay attention to their small caveat—that the pair's relationship was in fact strictly "professional." (Though at that point, even that the fact that he was landing some solo hangs, and perhaps even flirting with Oxman, felt like a win for Pitt.) Unfortunately for Pitt and the tabloids, though, that wishful thinking came to a sudden halt on Thursday, when Page Six reported that Oxman is actually still going strong with her billionaire boyfriend Bill Ackman, a hedge fund manager who's apparently worth flying to Paris for just to cheer him on at his tennis matches."

Any insights as to why such a high-profile Hollywood figure who is probably the biggest international sex symbol seems to be struggling? This may perhaps be a wake-up call to those who don't think that the guys who "have it all" can actually struggle with girls too.

Interesting read. I usually don't like following celebrity shit like this, because it's almost always a one-sided story / fake news.

If I had to guess I'd bet on any woman knowing that if they engage in any sort of relationship with Pitt it will be blown up, with mudslinging stories, false reports / photoshops, and lots of assumptions to come along with it. Then there's also the potential baggage that might be true because of why the divorce happened, anyway - if he really is looking for something more serious.

Surprised about the coffee shop thing. I googled "brad pitt coffee shop" and found this, which makes it sound far less like a harsh rejection and more like he didn't put in much effort.

EDIT: You have to think about who originally reported this story. Did the girl report it like "Oh my god Brad PItt just approached me I was so nervous" or did the coffee shop staff report it? Then the news sources that will see that as a "story" are usually gonna twist it one way or another.


A family friend of mine once told me she was hit on by Frank Sinatra at a bar, and he was overly aggressive and upset when she wouldn't comply with him. When you're that famous it probably changes up the dynamics & expectations quite a bit.

Good post!

This just goes to show that most girls that you cold approach will NOT be sexually available, even for the top 1% of men in the world. When a girl is already invested in a guy, she doesn't give a fuck about your looks, money, status, or "game". She is simply not in the market for a new guy, no matter how impressive he his.

So to all the guys out there cold approaching, try not to take "rejection" personally, she most likely just isn't looking for a new guy at this point in her life.

As far as Brad's relationship problems go, if he just realized that he needs to invest a little bit LESS than the women in his life, not only would he be a lot happier, but the women wouldn't be leaving him for greener pastures.
