Rrrowr!\|''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''}} The juvenile serial dater. He hasn't even graduated from high school (possibly even middle school) yet, and he's already gone through as many girls as [[The Casanova]], possibly more, high school dating [[No Going Steady\|being what it is]]. The only thing that differentiates him from The Casanova is that, because of his age and his show's target demographics, it's highly unlikely that he and his dates are having sex. At least, it'll be a cold day in hell before the [[Media Watchdogs]] let anybody even ''think'' about it. Compare [[Chick Magnet]]. His [[Distaff Counterpart]] is the [[Fille Fatale]]. If he's young enough, this may result in [[Toy Ship~~\|Toy Ships~~]]s. ~~NOT~~''Not'' a child-friendly version of a statistical analysis technique. {{examples}}▼ ''Note: All The Tropes is not a gossip site. As per [[Topic:Wj3jclzpasz0mj6h\|this discussion]], if you add a historical [[Real Life]] example, please keep in mind [[All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness]] when adding examples to this section and ensure it's documented. Please do not add current Real Life examples at all.'' == Anime & Manga ==▼ ▲{{examples}} ▲== Anime &and Manga == * Shippo of ''[[Inuyasha]]'' has won the hearts of many young girls, human and demon. Though some would argue that Shippou, being a demon and hence not subject to ordinary aging processes, is much older than he looks hence, only a [[Casanova]] of the regular variety. ** This is relative, actually. He may be old in human years, but for all purposes he has the looks ''and'' the mentality of a young boy. He's still a child by [[Youkai]] standards, just like Inuyasha is several decades old but is considered a teenager. * Kaito Kuroba aka ''[[Kaito Kid]]'' was seen practicing his skills to become a smooth Lady Killer he'll eventually be in this flashback; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBOAj2hlBA it backfired but taught him a lesson when flirting.] * Erio Mondial fits this trope unofficially, in doujins universe, almost every girl in ''[[~~Magical Girl~~ Lyrical Nanoha\|Nanoha]]'' universe has had less then legal relations with him (compared to his fall guys and butt monkies Chrono and Yuuno, that is a major achievement). In the official universe, he has a hinted romantic relationship with his non-blood-sister Caro Ru Lushe and Suzuka and Alisa found him quite cute in the sound drama. The boy has done much to compensate for the other men's failures. ** It probably doesn't help that in said sound drama that Fate wanted him to join her on the lady's side of the bath, and none of the other girls rejected the idea. And when he finally does go over there, he gets a full view of Tiana's fully naked body, and just after she mentioned that it would do him some good to see women naked. Thank you, Subaru. * Yuichi Aizawa of ''[[Kanon]]'' had a full-blown harem of girls at age ten. * Gon from ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'', much to Killua's horror. * What about Garrod Ran from ''[[~~After War Gundam X (Anime)\|~~After War Gundam X]]''? At age 15 he's got a [[Shrinking Violet]] and an [[Action Girl]] after him, and some would also include a [[Shorttank]] who appears later... {{spoiler\|He chooses the [[Shrinking Violet]]. What can we say, [[First Girl Wins]]!}} * Taro from ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]''. * Negi of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' does this without even trying, or, indeed, [[Oblivious to Love\|even being aware of it]]. To paraphrase Chisame, it might be best to kill him before he hits puberty and starts ''noticing'' the attention he gathers with his every mannerism. He doesn't toss any of the girls away, of course, since he doesn't even realize he's seduced them (and most realize he doesn't, and thus don't end up too heartbroken) – and at least [[Covert Pervert\|one]] is more open to the "harem" scenario than she'd like to admit. ** He actually has a [[Heroic BSOD]] every time someone pulls him aside and tells him he's accidentally seduced several<ref> more</ref> of his students.<ref> this has happened at least twice</ref>. ''The very next thing he does accidentally seduces the girl who had told him that''. {{quote\| '''Chisame:''' Here he comes! His natural gigolo talk! (Again?!)~~<br />~~ '''Chamo:''' That's my aniki! }} * As per ''[[Pokémon (~~Anime~~anime)\|Pokémon]]'''s Ash Ketchum's inability to age, he has been shown to have garnered a rather respectable number of young women's affections at the ''canon'' age of ten (which has been pushed ~~[[Not Allowed to Grow Up\|~~for the past two decades]]). However, he's still [[Oblivious to Love\|dense as a rock]]. As of the most recent series, this canonical list includes {{spoiler\|Misty, Melody, Macey, Bianca/Latias, Anabel and Angie.}} ** Gary Oak. He has his own cheerleadering squad, and Dawn was a fangirl of his. * ''[[Durarara!!]]'''s Masaomi Kida, whose surname even ''begs'' for a punnerific joke involving this trope, hits on girls left, right, and center, {{spoiler\|though it's later revealed this behavior is almost entirely a [[Stepford Smiler\|front]]. His heart belongs to one girl and one girl alone.}} * Momochi from ''[[Level E]]''. When it's revealed that {{spoiler\|the password to unlock the bracelets}} is the name of the girl they like, most of the kids say a name or just "nobody in particular." Momochi lists off the names of about twenty different girls, only to be told that his answer is invalid because he left some out. He lists off five more, and is told that there's ''still'' one left... {{spoiler\|Who turns out to be a girl he met in passing, and thus doesn't know her name}}. Then there's the time they helped out the twin-tailed mermaid. At the end of the episode, most of the kids offer their condolences. Momochi offers his phone number. * Mizuiro from ''[[Bleach]] ''is known to be able to get women ''much older'' than him fawning over him with pretty much the snap of a finger. How many guys can you name that while in their teen years, can go with their girlfriend, who is an older woman, and ''nine of her friends'', to Hawaii for the entire Summer vacation? [[James Bond]], eat your heart out. * In ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]],'' Tenchi has several adult women flirting with him, including two who seriously want his love (who is how serious about having him, though, is one of many things that changes from version to version.). One is even a distant relative of his ([[Deliberate Values Dissonance\|that's just how Juraians roll]], as she explained.) He's about fifteen. Of course, that's just going on the ages they look. A lot of the cast can measure their ages in three or four digits - which actually may explain it. What's 15 vs 18 mean to you when your kid sister is the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]? ''[[Tenchi Muyo! GXP]]'' is the same with its protagonist, Seina, who appears even younger than Tenchi. ** The age differences are less extreme in ''[[Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar]]'', with ''most'' of the girls pursuing Tenchi's little brother Kenshi genuinely within a few years of his age (he seems to be 14 or so, and most of the girls are under 18). But one is definitely in her twenties, and Kenshi even attracts the attention of one girl's ''mother''. * A young Romano in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' is only willing to learn enough Spanish to demand kisses from Belgium and the Queen of Spain. Once Belgium takes him up on it, however, he finds himself at a total loss. == ~~Comics~~Comic Books == * [[Superboy]]: His list of girlfriends is long, especially when you consider that he's, at most, ''[[Cloning Blues\|two years old.]]'' ** And is a teenager at that. The fact that he hasn't been impregnating women faster than a speeding bullet is a testament to his ~~Will~~will ~~Power~~power, ~~consider~~considering his sum total of life experiences. == Films -- Live Action == * The 1995 Larry Clark film ''[[Kids]]'' is about a 17-year-old Casanova who specializes in virgins. After his last conquest (13-years-old) discovers she's HIV-positive, she decides he has to be stopped before he passes [[Unusual Euphemism\|the gift that keeps on giving]] on to another girl. * In ''[[Don Juan Demarco]]'', the titular character claims to have discovered his vocation ''very'' early in life. He committed his first act of peeping-tomfoolery before he was old enough to walk. * In ''Tadpole,'' Oscar is a Sartre-quoting genius that firmly believes in [[Not Growing Up Sucks]] as he's 15, but wants to be 40, has zero interest in girls his age for [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?\|actually being his age,]] [[Nerds Are Sexy\|turns on and even sleeps with]] [[Growing Up Sucks\|his step-mom's]] [[Bebe Neuwirth\|best friend]] and all the while crushes on [[Sigourney Weaver\|his]] [[Hot Mom\|Hot Step-Mom]] [[What Does She See in Him?\|that seems wasted on his dad.]] He'd be an [[Insufferable Genius]] and [[The Scrappy]] had he not be so hilariously bad at trying to look mature like using dog hair as sideburns and trying to keep the secret of said sexual encounter from coming out said step-mom's friend's [[Bottle Fairy\|loose lips]] though he [[Character Development\|does get better and re-connect with the previously mentioned girl his age]] after she starts reading Sartre, too. == Literature == * Olver from ''[[Wheel of Time]]'' * Arguably, [[Peter Pan]], since all the girls in Neverland (particularly [[Clingy Jealous Girl\|Tinkerbell]]) are interested on him, and the novel clearly states he will keep going back for the females of every generation of Wendy's family and they will all have a certain crush on him. In fact, this is [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshaded]] in [[Peter Pan (Disney film)\|the sequel to the Disney version]] (see the quote page). ** Sadly for the girls, Peter only wants a woman who can be his mother. * ''[[Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey]]'', a.k.a. Buster Casey. Racked up a list of most of the females in his school before he left home. Notice the use of the word "females", [[Hot for Teacher\|not just the female students]]. * Otto in ''[[Someone Else's War ~~(Literature)~~\|Someone Elses War]]'' is very kind and polite, but always the first to appreciate a girl's beauty, quite vocally at that. (He's twelve.) Line 56 ⟶ 58: * Drake of ''[[Drake and Josh]]''. Very much so. An official count numbers the girls he's shown dating in the series to be over 60. You will never see him dating a girl you saw him date in a previous episode. Add that to the fact that he is shown dating a girl nearly every episode and you have yourself a lot of dumped girls. ** In one episode, we see him with three girls: a girlfriend from a previous episode, his current girlfriend that was introduced in another episode, and a previously unknown girlfriend. * The [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Drake and Josh]]'', ''[[~~I Carly~~iCarly]]'' has Spencer fitting a [[Kidanova]] more than a [[Casanova]] despite being in his late 20's, because of the shows' [[Kid Com]] genre, Spencer never doing more than kissing the girl ([[Getting Crap Past the Radar\|on camera at least]]), and because he's not a jerk. The closest the actual [[Power Trio]] has is Carly, who picks up a love interest a few times a season. * Skeeter of ''[[Cousin Skeeter]]'' * Shawn of ''[[Boy Meets World]]''. One would assume he's the regular kind of [[Casanova]], however he reveals while displaying his [[Genre Savvy\|knowledge]] of [[Death Byby Sex]] that he is still, technically, a virgin. ** Eric too in the early seasons. * [[Subverted Trope\|Subverted]] in ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' with Matthew Panning, "the Stud of Port Richland Middle School", who claimed to have had sex with a hundred girls by the time he was 12. It's obvious to everyone that he's lying, except for Barney, who makes it the goal of his adult life to sleep with ''200'' girls just to show Panning up. * Every single live-action show on [[Disney Channel]] seems to have at least one. * During season 2 of ''[[Degrassi]]'', when JT who's 13 at the time instantly starts making plans on dating the most popular older high school girls he can catch. == Theater == * [[Older Than Radio]]: Mozart's opera ''[[~~The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre)\|~~The Marriage of Figaro]]'' has a boy, Cherubino, who is old enough to get shipped off to the army but young enough to be a [[Cross Dressing Voice]] role, and spends the show charming every woman he can get his hands on. He ends up in a [[Beta Couple]] (with Barbarina, the local [[The Ingenue\|ingenue]]) by the end of the night. Lampshaded by his song "Voi chi sapete", in which he explains that he loves being in love with all the ladies around and it's a natural thing to him. ** Actually, in the original plays by Beaumarchais it goes further: {{spoiler\|the sequel ''The Guilty Mother'' says he's the father of Countess Rosina's child.}} Line 76 ⟶ 78: == Video Games == * Zidane from ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' is 16 years old, and even though his love interest Garnet shares his age, he hits on much older women as well. In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' he hits on [[Final Fantasy XI\|Shantotto]], who, while tiny, is somewhere in her ''30s''. * Nils Lutefisk from ''[[~~Psychonauts (Video Game)\|~~Psychonauts]]'' is one of these. He claims it's because his parents let him watch R-rated movies. * Roy from ''[[Fire Emblem]] 6'' is just fifteen years old, but he can have up to ''six'' possible love interests: his gorgeous ex-teacher, his childhood friend, a cheery [[Lethal Chef]], a silent female nomad, a cute mercenary girl and a shy half-human, half-dragon shaman girl. From ''[[Fire Emblem]] 8'', we have Ewan. This redheaded, cheery magic student can't be older than 15, but he can date and eventually marry Amelia, a sweet girl who's at least two or three years older than he is. Line 82 ⟶ 84: 15-year-old Erk the Mage has three possible girlfriends ([[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!\|Serra]], [[The Ojou\|Priscilla]] and [[Plucky Girl\|Nino]]). Though, he is very anti-social and even laments his inability to talk to girls at one point. * The aforementioned Priscilla is no slouch either: she can have a [[Chivalrous Pervert]], a [[Dragon Rider]], a [[Fragile Speedster]] and Erk himself after her, and she's 16. {{spoiler\|Too bad only Erk can get to marry her: [[Star-Crossed Lovers\|all of the other guys are doomed]].}} * Also, Serra. She's 16 too, and not only she can marry Erk, but she also has romantic endings with Matthew (a [[Guile Hero]] [[Trickster]] {{spoiler\|who recently lost his girlfriend}}) and Sir Oswin (a [[Younger Than They Look]] [[Genius Bruiser]] who is [[May-December Romance\|~~who is~~ twice her age.]]) ** Dew from ''Fire Emblem 4'' may have them all beat: he can marry and have kids with most of the women in the player's army (and not in the future tense, either). His exact age is unclear, but definitely early-to-mid teens. (A manga adaption gave his age as 14!) And several of the girls are older than he is! (15-year-old Lachesis and 14-year-old Sylvia are around his age, but Bridget and Adean are at least in their mid-to-late teens.) * Poo from ''[[~~Earthbound~~EarthBound]]'' is implied to be this. He has fangirls in his hometown, anyway. * [[New Transfer Student\|Ryoji Mochizuki]] of ''[[Persona 3]]'' earned an [[Instant Fanclub]] the moment he transferred over to Gekkoukan High, mostly for his mysterious air and boyish looks. This makes the [[Chivalrous Pervert]] ''extremely happy,'' since he already hits on any and all women in ~~range -- sometimes~~range—sometimes risking life and limb, such as when he {{spoiler\|propositions [[The Ojou\|Mitsuru]] during her [[Heroic BSOD]] and then, immediately after being rebuked, asks [[The Chick\|Yukari]] out on a date at the [[Love Hotels\|red-light]] district}}.) He even hits on [[Robot Girl\|Aigis]], whose response is... [[Detect Evil\|unexpected]]. In ''[[Updated Rerelease\|Persona 3 Portable]]'', though, he becomes a [[Ladykiller in Love]] with the [[Distaff Counterpart\|Female Protagonist]]. * Palom from ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' must be some sort of record; he's ''five years old''. == Web Comics == * Cactus Donathan, the [[Casanova]] of ''Instant Classic'', gets some backstory into his ways using this trope in [http://www.instantclassic.net/story.php?comicID=252 "Brothers Donathan - Part Five"]{{Dead link}}. * Ryan from ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'' tries to be this... [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=165747 not always successfully]. * Alex of ''[[World of Fizz]]'' is definitely a prepubescent pervert, though none of his crushes (a classmate, his sister's girlfriend, the school nurse...) have shown much interest in him. == Web Original == * The web novel ''Seeking a Sweet Bewitching Kiss'' as part of the [[Girls Love]] series ''[[Sono Hanabira Nini Kuchizuke ~~Wo (Visual Novel)\|Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchizuke Wo~~wo]]'' contains a female and lesbian version of this trope. Elementary [[Schoolgirl Lesbians\|schoolgirl lesbian]] Runa, has all the girls in her class as well as [[Hot for Student\|her teacher]] (a woman in her early twenties) enamored with her. Recently, she has gotten her own visual novel released, in which she kind of subverts the trope by having sex with her teacher. * [[~~The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)\|~~The Nostalgia Critic]] has reminded people that he was an early bloomer when it came to sex. Judging by his [[Dark and Troubled Past]], it may have not been a good thing. Line 106 ⟶ 108: * It seems Ferb of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is one of these. ** Ferb doesn't have nearly as much success as [[Butt Monkey]], Baljeet. So far, he has gone on a romantic cruise with his childhood friend Mishti, actually kissed a female friend named Wendy (who seemed to like it), and managed to unwittingly become the crush of Fireside Girl Ginger. * Jonesy in ''[[~~Sixteen\|~~6teen]]'' is one of these, but he fails to get the girls just as much as he fails to get a stable job. ** He got Nikki, didn't he? * [[James Bond Jr.]]. seems to have learned more than just fighting skills from his uncle. * In the ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' episode "Prom-ise Her Anything" Dizzy is this combined with [[Mars Needs Women]] and manages to snag a grown human woman as a date. * [[Johnny Test]]. So far, this 11 year-old has managed to charm the class tomboy, the school's [[Alpha Bitch\|queen bee]], an alien [[Rebellious Princess]] five years older than him, and a cute [[Daddy's Little Villain]] {{spoiler\|(literally, since it turned out ''she'' was the villain, not her dad)}}. And possibly [[Ho Yay\|Gil]]. * In ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents]]'', Timmy apparently once had relations with a grown woman named Carly at some party he doesn't remember due to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]. She seemed perfectly fine with it. * The title character of ''[[Camp Lazlo]]'' is wrongfully accused of being one of these by Commander Hoohah at least once. == [[Real Life]] == ''Note: All The Tropes is not a gossip site. As per [[Topic:Wj3jclzpasz0mj6h\|this discussion]], if you add a historical [[Real Life]] example, please keep in mind [[All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness]] when adding examples to this section and ensure it's documented. Please do not add current Real Life examples at all.'' * [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/3546322/US-schoolboy-publishes-guide-to-dating.html This kid] for sure. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEzQXhdZSGs This kid definitely qualifies]. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Kidanova~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:All the Tropes Superhero Team]] [[Category:Seduction Tropes]] [[Category:Pages needing more categories]]
