I've been considering the whole Max phenomenon and this is what I think. Clearly it's not his looks the women go for. I think it's the element of neediness and patheticness in him. He really does become weak and slightly pathetic around women - he gets this look in his eye that kind of says 'I need to be looked after and saved and only you can do it'. It's that neediness, combined with the badness and wrongness which seems to be at the core of all his 'relationships' that I think attracts all these women. Just my opinion
God, I need to get a life!
I don't even really watch ee anymore, yet I still think about these bloody things!!
