In case you haven't heard, Adam Levine is a bit of a ladies man—which is kind of like saying Adele is a bit of a singer, or Angelina Jolie is a bit of a looker. He's dated, been linked to, hooked up with, or been spotted with a list of high-profile ladies that should earn him a pat on the back from George Clooney if the two ever meet.
A new profile of the Maroon 5 singer in Details magazine does not shy away from this reputation, and Adam admirably owns up to it. Of course he does this with a quote worthy of a lifted eyebrow. Lay it on us Adam, why have you slept with so many hot ladies?
"There's two kinds of men," he told the magazine. "There are men who are f-cking misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."
It should be noted that the Voice judge made a respectable run at long-term monogamy with Victoria's Secret model Anne V. When the two split in April after two years, we openly wondered which VS Angel he might date next. In his new interview though, it sounds like Adam wants to be known for his intellectual side as much as, if not more than, his rockstar side.
"I've always felt a little misrepresented in the world," he said of his decision to join The Voice. "I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls. A little bit of a bimbo. Maybe I was kind of a bimbo. I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that. But I wanted to create a little balance. When the show came around, I thought, 'People now know that I have a brain.'"
But don't worry. Adam still has important rockstar things on his brain. We'll leave you with this little excerpt from the Details piece.
"You know what yoga's good for?" Adam Levine asks, pausing in mid-thought as he discusses his healthful lifestyle. He draws to his feet, balances in the private jet's narrow aisle, points at his crotch, and thrusts his pelvis like a porn star. "I'll tell you what yoga is good for: F----ck-ing," he chimes, in a singsong falsetto, then laughs.
