When girls say they want a nerdy guy we mean like him
Nerdy
+rich + good looking + not socially awkward + tall
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Myr Na agree 🤣🤣
@@luidgi4429 lol don't we all want THAT kind of nerdy guy
@@AkireMaru Hahaha okay I'll add tall
So much respect for a man who isn’t threatened by a strong woman.
I hate the term "strong woman" What the heck does that even mean?
@@blackspiderman1887 It's simple - a strong woman is super accomplished, independent, and successful -totally on her own and without any association with a man. A lot of men are threatened by that and want a woman who needs them and depends on them.
Well I don't see why the term "Strong" is used. And it seemed to be only used to describe black women. I know many women out there that are "Successful" on their own but no one calls them a "strong" woman. I just don't like the term.
Black Spiderman Your biased, black identity politics, is showing. Serena is “strong” at many levels, as are a number of nonblack women, so your coloration of the term is weak. Physically, she is an incredible athlete, approaching the strength and serve velocity of many males on tour. She is also strong in her degree of self confidence, and of course, she is financially powerful and commands attention as a rich athlete with many titles. So what’s your agenda?
@@blackspiderman1887 You have a point. I think the best answer is that it's meaning must also take into account the context where it is used. I would challenge Inanna Lynch's definition as Serena was not successful without the association of a man, and we all live in a 'village' where we are co-dependent on the people around us. And even a woman who was dependent on romantic relationships could still be strong. Perhaps a strong woman is simply one who rejects the notion she is the 'weaker sex'?
"You flew to Paris and then tried to act cool? " OMG hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
Their relationship was sparked by a rat and fostered by a dead rabbit being torn to shreds. Beautiful
Romance at its finest
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
#romancegoals
Grim Affiliations lol summed up beautifully 😃
the way he talks about it, you can tell he feels legitimately super lucky to meet her and fall in love
Omid Saranj nope, it was beautiful. I bet if Serena was Sharapoka, you would think it was beautiful.
it being odd makes it feel more real, if anything. Meeting people for the first time can always be awkward, especially if your're famous. His tone hs that tang of "i cant believe this happened, let me tell how lucky i am"
He does.
Omid Saranj I don't think he thought she was the one exactly in that moment, but maybe he felt like they both felt more comfortable with each other that they could open up to each other more honestly. The way he explained that he was trying to play cool I think he didn't want her to think he liked her too much in case she only saw him as an acquaintance and would scare her off by being too forward.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw this on Colbert.
he looks happy when he talks about his wife this is real love
you mean husband!
goddess maat shut up 🤐
Never shut up those who have knowledge on tyrannies. No one more informative than those with first hand information.
I know right!!😃
@@goddessmaat9098 Actually, husband would be that rod straight pre-adoloscent body you have. Serena, has the curves the Kartrashians and y'all are unsuccessfully trying to get/ emulate in doctors clinics
He a handsome in a nerdy way. I see you Serena.
Ebony Durden lol
Ebony Durden he is banging a black beauty 😆
Ummm…..don't think Serena needed to marry for money.
LOL 415City, Serena's worth $180 million and Alexis is worth $9 million. Money did not play a part in this couple getting together so Bye ✋
She has wayy more money than him so that doesn't make any sense.
"But I'm from Brooklyn, I see rats all the time" 😂
Mona Ray 😂😂😂
Mona Ray He was not scared, wimpy and was East coasting not about to played. I think she liked his strength and his attention to comfort her! ❤️ Yes he was cool to! 😂😂 He was too busy, I used to do that move as a girl! Not too easy to get my time’
The human ones or the animals?
@@Essays4College the animals they're in the subway
@@bionicwoman9884 the human ones are in the subway too!
“I beg to differ on the other hand, she’s actually a total nerd” letting him know that his wife is far from stupid and not just some dumb athlete. He is so supportive of Serena and really represents while she plays too👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah I loved that
Exactly! I appreciated that as well.
She really is a nerd though.
I agree
So sorry for your hate speech
"Never tell me the odds" was such a beautifully, nerdy thing to say. :)
Strong pandering to reddit
Iri Bab: isn't that a Han Solo quote?
It's a popular subreddit, /r/nevertellmetheodds . It was a callout
I know, right?? 😂😍❤️
Star Wars reference
Alex Ohanian is brilliant, humorous, and adorable. He is also 6'5" tall, strong, spiritual, handsome, wealthy, well-spoken, down-to-earth, family-oriented, kind, a bestselling author and creator of a Billion-Dollar start-up who played defensive tackle in football in school! He is as fascinating as brilliant, spiritual, humorous, hardworking, family-oriented, beautiful, womanly, kind Serena herself.
Well said
Hey beautiful couple all the way around and the cutest little baby they have so sweet
He is a total package.
He hit the jackpot.
Love the.bestiful.couple.and.their.adorable.daughter.
I was thinking that Serena will end up with some NBA muscle superstar ,but there she goes - found this handsome nerdy guy and they are so charming together 🤗
"We trust that the US will still be a succesful country in 10 years", looks at audience with smug smirk on face as if to convey that it won't be...such disrepect. Sorry. He seems like a likable guy but I hate his not so sublte message about my Country...sweet land of liberty. #keepAmericaGreat
@@diane7912 now that we have new leadership, we can turn the ship around that was clearly sinking and on fire. Liberty for all, not a select view. That would make it GREAT.
@@rahra2483 Covid and the BLM riots were not a good ending to an otherwise great presidency. We shall see what happens in the next four years. I'm not a fan of Biden's policies but I wish him the best for the well being of our country. Thank you for your opinion. Despite our differences I
Sincerely wish you only the best. Hope we all have a better year in 2021.
@@diane7912 No, you mean the Capitol riots weren't a good ending to a ridiculous presidency. The BLM "riots" needed to happen to wake America up. We keep asking for equality, which should be a standard for all Americans. We're not trying to get revenge...which some may feel is overdue.
Nba muscle superstars tend to go for sexy melon bodied women
They have the cutest relationship story ever. I've heard it like 5 times in different interviews but it's still adorable.
roxyqueen2 every time I hear it I smile ! They are so amazing
roxyqueen2 i
ikr!
There are things that best keep them to yourself......!!!
😂😂😂
He seems like a nice and chill guy.
his such amazing person
he is!
Ellowsion, Serena's sister, Venus, stated that Alex is such a kind man. He seems very likeable.
Yes you're right. Serena is pretty chill.
Something seems fishy about this guy. Everyone is nice in the beginning.
Ohanian is hilarious. "She made what I'd call an LA invite...with no intention of my taking her up on it... [but] I'm not from LA." Smart, humorous, attentive, philanthropic, engaging. Beautiful. Sometimes the stars align.
❤️
See fellas? Being a nice guy will help you win.
Without having a net worth of 10 million, he wouldn't have stood a chance. And you know that.
Very true Mike. The money is just the first hurdle though. After that it still paid off that he's a nice guy. It also didn't hurt that Serena was in her mid 30s. ;o)
Are u stupid? Serena has 150 mill and makes 30 mill from ONE match.... don't be stupid serena doesnt care about HIS money. They clicked bc they both nerds. even i know this! Serena loves Avatar The Lasst Airbender series and voiced one of the characters bc she loved it so much, remember that??@@mlee81 also Serena has dated guys with less money than alexis so stfu
Mike Creigton Not the money dude, 10mil is nothing compared to hers. It’s the ideas that made him that money that gave him a chance. If he weren’t speaking at the conference he’d have 0 chance. You can’t just be nice, you have to offer something and in his case he offers intelligence.
The two most important things he did. Was get rich... and be a dick... that's how he got her...
A nice guy would have moved his table.. a nice guy would have asked if she wanted to go to the zoo. Not told her.. a nice guy would have been honest and not lied and pretended to be too busy to see her... I am a nice guy. Women don't like nice guys. We truly finish last. Not many venture capitalists are nice guys. They are quite literally opportunists by trade. He said as much in the interview.. he saw an opportunity to secure the bag. And he took it. His marriage is basically a merger and aquisition play... that's why the baby came IMMEDIATELY.. good for him. Now he has fame and is getting a bigger bag from that by making these appearances. Good for him..
that is honestly such a beautiful love story
Moral of the story: when in Rome, drink extra wine.
THATS EXACTLY WHATS STOOD OUT FOR ME!
alway drink extra win
Alexis Ohanian..amazing..
Tadashi Stark He is absolutely lovely; an intelligent and beautiful person. What a lovely couple Now family. Happy for them both. ❤️
I think the need he felt to protect her from that horrifying experience created something in his heart for her.
I love ur analysis 😍
Exactly
He’s very well spoken and explains things well. Those than can make seemingly hard things simple are truly intelligent
I was in awe of how he did that.
That was his superpower as an entrepreneur too. He was incredible at engaging and building community.
Agree....
So true, so true (Retired teacher here… so well done.)
I can see why Serena married him.
Serena said nobody ever treated her the way he did so she knew he was the one . They are a match point !
"... Serena Williams"
* Spontaneous cheering *
Correct response.
I know what he does.. had he not knocked up serena nobody would be talking about him.
insomniacfolder 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
insomniacfolder God I love Serena!!
Everyone deserves a BILLIONAIRE don't give up!!
Ron Muccianti, folks who follow tech already knew who Ohanian was. And now, folks who follow philanthropy know as well. He has become a bit more public being with Serena, but he was always "somebody."
He comes across as a real gentleman, madly in love with his wife. Serena is a lucky lady. :)
👍 But he is lucky too.
@@farhanasami5858 out of the men serena dated even drake a tall pale white man she choose to have kids with ..please 😑
I like him. He's a bit of a square but he has easy confidence and self assuredness, it's very attractive.
Hyram Samuels That will get a (smart )woman every time
Real, always an attractive thing for a woman.
Watched this after watching Serena’s interview on Fallon on her version of how they met. They’re so cute
Periwinkle1000 Me too!
Periwinkle1000 me too
Periwinkle1000 lol they both have the same version of how they met.
Island Girl love how in sync they are!
Same
You can tell his love for Serena is true.
Cheryl’s Organic Food Forest **** first, I'm using my wife's tablet. I knew his Love was true when the brother married her.
Thanks 415City. How did you know I can prepare homegrown food very fast? Thanks for your wonderful compliment. May God bless you.
415City your super lame
Cheryl's Organic, not sure that one can tell when love is true, but lots of people are hoping they're right for each other. Serena deserves a supportive, mature, non-player type in her life and he seems to fit the bill and to deserve the same. Best wishes to them.
jon britton you are a racist idiot
Honestly flying to paris to meet someone and then trying to play it cool is such a mood
This man is handsome, smart, well spoken and 6’5’’, Ms Williams sure knows how to pick em ❤️
@Stegan Sigel and what are you insinuating that she married him because of $$$
@PALUMBO DEJVID I don’t think you can say it’s purely because of that. When you’re one of the greatest tennis players who has ever lived, I would think you want your partner to have something going on.
@@joeydoherty368 Amen, Even people who aren't great at anything want a partner who can is accomplished. It seems that he can be emotionally supportive without also needing to be financially supported/propped up.
At the time they met 6years ago, Serena had way more millions than Alexis, but he's now done a lot more investing, paid speaking ingagements, etc. He's doing well on aquiring more funds, but so is Serena and they don't have a competition about who gets the most money.. A few years ago after Olympia was born, Serena wanted good Italian food for dinner, so he chartered a private jet and they flew to Italy for dinner! How frickin cool is that! 👏🏽👍🏽👌🏽🤩🎉 No waiting at the airport for a plane is what did it for me!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💝
Great minds think alive I git my own husband like him .I am in love for now.
I love how he speaks. They're both so lucky to have each other 😩😍
Shanice Sweetsmile luv ur dp #M&H😍
Sereno is a serial doper, but libtard Colbert would never mention it.
@@Rrtnns jealous much???
♥️
"I'm from Brooklyn. I see rats all the time." *GOLD*!!!!!!
That's the kind of love story I love to hear...random meetings that extend through countries, and touches that confirm connection. LOVE IT!!
@LaRhonda Turner love the way you described it!
“Never tell me the odds.”
-Alexis Ohanian
Aw I really like him. Seems like a genuinely nice and unique character.
The more I see him the more I like him for Serena.
I like Alexis. He's genuine and down-to-earth. Good luck to this lovely family.
I like this couple. Both hardworking, talented, well spoken individuals! He seems really nice and smart, a little bit shy, but always in the mood of storytelling. ♥️
How is this shy? Really?
Now I see what Serena sees. He can get it.
Jeannette Hernandez yassss
Lol sis...
Jeannette Hernandez LMAO, Funny Jeannette ,My Daughter Says That Alot.. Even At 50!
Jeannette Hernandez, have some class.
Roger Roger a piece of the pie! 🥧 💃🏽
Go Serena!!!! She got a good one!!!
Ughh no, go him he got a good thing she’s the star who is he..
What a cute love story.
When two people really belong together, it happens regardless of the surface nonsense.
It just happens.
Serena got her a keeper; I am so happy for both of them
This story has me smiling like a loon at work 😂
KickItWithJB
Loon....nice.
me too😄
I also caught myself smiling 🤭
Same here!!!
Wow. I have heard Serena talk about Alexis, have seen him w/ her in pictures and knew he cofounded Reddit (something I use often), but never came upon an interview with the man before. He is so interesting and seemingly laid-back, calm, intelligent, fun, spontaneous, down to earth, etc. Lots of good qualities he seems to possess, as does Serena. I totally get their relationship. Not that I thought about it before or anything, but the two of them come across as lovely people and just perfect for each other. She’s a fantastic role model for young people and he appears to be one, as well. Great interview! Always love interviews that feature people I have never heard from before. Doesn’t happen often, due to celebrity “news” being given to us nonstop 24/7 these days. Thanks! 💁🏼♀️
Honestly, this love story would make an amazing nerdy/sporty/romantic movie. How is this not a thing?
He's very attractive and has a great personality. Go Serena!
They both have excellent taste.
Okay a protector, rich, smart, not a crazy fan. That hug and “it’s okay” probably made my girl feel like wow a man. I feel you Serena!
When "push comes to shove" If you have something unique with a girl. You grab it. " If momma is happy, everyone is happy.
God! He's such a sweetheart!
i listened to this story 20 times and i still enjoy it every time
Me too its such a cute story
What a great story. Great couple, beautiful daughter. Glad they found love.
Wow, an adorable man interviewing another adorable man.😊
Colbert is the worst in the business
I just caught myself smiling all the time.
Thank you Armenia for this incredible guy who is just what my girl Rena deserves!
Glad they found each other. They seem like the perfect couple.
He is kind of hot.
Don't judge! I'm into nerds.
shameonyou17 The man is attractive. If we saw a pic of him & knew nothing of his profession, he would STILL be attractive.
Yeah!!! He is and he’s also tall
shameonyou17, My wonderful husband is a brilliant nerd who is also athletic. Turns out 6'5" Alex Ohanian played defensive tackle in football. & Serena Williams gave her victory speech in French after winning the French Open. She spoke in Italian after winning in Rome. She spoke in Spanish in Madrid. Serena's an athletic nerd, too. Despite her humble description of them as "different," Serena and Alex are both brilliant, humorous, globetrotting people.
shameonyou17, he appears to just be a cool brother to me & not nerdy at all. Im using my wife's tablet by the way.
?! OceanBlue, Brilliant, 6'5" tall, strong,spiritual, humorous, kind, Alex Ohanian is a REAL man who recognizes a REAL woman when he sees one. Alex stated that when he first met Serena and joked around with her that he thought to himself, "What a beautiful, charming woman." He fell in love & set out to make her love him in return. He succeeded.The genes of a LEGENDARY woman combined with his to form a strong,Beautiful Baby.
I love this story. May you guys have eternal happiness and bless your little family.
I feel SO connected to you Alexis!!! Guess why! I taught in an Armenian school in Sydney for 10 years, learnt about the culture and loved the students and their families! Although I am a grandma who is 70, I'd love to meet your lil treasure!
LOVE = your husband smiling when he tells the story of how you met. 💖
WOW, I love this love story... So cute, he is such a genuine good spirit. The tone of his voice, with no hesitation between words you can tell he's so connected to his truth.
In that moment he knew he just saved a damsel in distress.
Before that he didn’t know if he was what she needed.
Love is just such a wonderful blessing
He has an awesome personality! I appreciate intelligence. Glad they both found love.
And he doesn't seem to be embarrassed to admit his love for his wife..I admire..him not trying to carry all broken females on his back!..
They way they talk about each other and their family is adorable
Keep thinking he reminds me of Shia LeBoeuf
He does!
JUST DO IT!
oh god, you ruined it!
The voice!!! Yes!
Cordel Adams spot on. But a less entitled, more balanced, taller, more
buff Shia
He sounds delightful. I'm glad they found each other. I wish them a long and happy life together.
Just such a great story on how they met! Love can be found anywhere, we just have to believe it 💗
What a great couple and love story. They are both so nice and deserve each other.
That is the face of a happy man! #priceless
Wow. He’s such a charming storyteller. I bitterly hate love but this was cute.
“I’m from Brooklyn, I see rats all the time.” Love this guy, belly button peeking and all!
Such a beautiful couple.
And made a beautiful baby!!!!!
Meg S. Yes! Nerd-Jock couples do exist!
Tom Hertz he very well could be gay.... I do get that vibe
@@gatineausparks dude rlly😂
DID ANYONE NOTICE THE STAR WARS REFERENCE? “Never tell me the odds”
i can see why Serena would fall for this adorable guy!
their kids are going to be insanely smart and athletic on an entirely new level.
They are so cute together, and that baby...❤️!
His voice is much deeper than I thought it would be.
what a cute story. hope they stay together forever.
Wow, it was meant to be, I'm so glad for them, wish them the best of life. ❤
I love the way you fall for Serena and how it's all begin amazing love story.
I love him for Serena 😍
James Frew you know that's the way I feel. Very well said.
Me too James!
Me too 😍😍
Yes, he does love his wife,and how they met. I enjoy listening to their love connection 💕🕯️🙏
What a great story! So random. Shows how you have to put yourself out there and stop the self-doubt.
Confidence is attractive.
I jus love him to bits, he’s handsome, funny and seems like a very nice, kind happy go lucky kind of guy........Serena is a very lucky woman indeed....
I saw them when she was pregnant and my first thought was... Absolutely BEAUTIFUL couple.. She was glowing., he was freaking glowing more than an 8mth pregnant wife could be.. Their daughter is just as gorgeous as they are.. Opposites do attract and I'm living proof with my now FRAYING BEST DAMN FRIEND and husband of recently 2yrs.. We don't argue, we hear have this amazing friendship and connection that I had no idea you could have with a spouse even as someone with a degree in Forensic Psychology. Lol...
Now that Olympia is older and her looks facial features have developed I think she looks exactly like her Dad. She's a cutie!
Love seeing such a power couple! 💪🏽 strong Armenian business man meets athletic legend. Their child will move mountains!
LMFAO he was smooth is how he got her that's a funny origin story. I am here for it lol!
"How could a nerd like you end up with Serena Williams? What are the odds?" "(quotes Han Solo)"
stopped by just to say, dope profile pic!
He's got. I hope they continue to grow together, have a couple of more kids, and continue to love and support one another for the next 50 years❤
i just love this guy! He is so lucky to have married Serena Williams!

Oh my goodness. What a wonderful story of how Alexis met and feel in love with Serena. Awww!
He’s a great guy! I can tell he is super chilled. He reminds me of my former co worker. Two great guys. 😊👊🏾💍🦅 #NerdsForLife
Thank you Alexis...for loving Serena...may your love last forever...
What a great guy. Congrats to you Alexis for jumping and congrats Serena for jumping as well. Great catch, great personalities.
Omg....such an unprecedented,beautiful and authentic love story
Lucky guy. Serena is lucky to have an awesome husband like him. And the baby wow one of the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. God Bless this beautiful family.
Lovely romantic story Alexis, just shows love (those moments) can happen anywhere, any moment, any time .. Im really happy for you and Serena ....
Awesome love story. I thank God for His mercies and love on you. Congrats Alexis for taking that bold step. Thank God that you valued that casual invite more than dollars in the bank.
