Woody and Diane, the blind spot of love

Not to mention anything else, just the dialogue I saw between Woody Allen and Diane in this comedy. Like "Anne Hall" and "Manhattan", in my impression, Woody and Diane always have similar dialogues:
Diane: You think I am stupid.
Woody: No, how can you say that? I think you are smart, sensitive, and...
Diane: Smart, yes, well, then why are you not attracted to me? You know, I mean, men are crazy for me. My body is great, and I have a PhD in oral sex.

Actually, I think Woody has long been in love with Diane, you know from the way he saw her for the first time. (Let me bring it into my personal feelings, because sometimes it’s the same with the girl I like)
Woody Allen’s neurotic and clever characteristics make him always cautious when he enters a love, and he is afraid of what he will receive. harm. (He said it himself, joking is a way for him to protect himself)
But is this really smart? Woody thinks he can control love and wants to dominate the relationship, but in the end he is always tortured by all kinds of helplessness. Putting Woody as a kind of rational animal for the time being, Diane prefers the emotional side. Woody is conceited and clever, but he is inferior in front of this beautiful animal.
Maybe men and women in love think this way, how can they look at me because the other is so good? Maybe there is a blind spot in love.
