Ladykiller in Love: Difference between revisions

* Henry Crawford of ''[[Mansfield Park]]'' claims to be this, but the heroine doesn't trust he can give up his ladykilling ways. {{spoiler|She's right.}}

* Happens a lot in many literary incarnations of the Don Juan legend, the [[Older Than Steam]] [[Ur Example]].

* In ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'', Scarlett takes great pleasure in flirting with any man that crosses her path, even ones who are already taken, but she has her heart set firmly on Ashley. It later turns out that the man she truly loved was [[Loving a Shadow|not Ashley]] but ''Rhett'' (who is also this trope towards her), but she [[Love Epiphany|realizes this]] [[Bittersweet Ending|a little too late]].

* In ''Tales of the Frog Princess'', [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Prince]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Garrid]], who's been described as a ladies man, two-times [[Naive Everygirl|Li'l]] and [[Alpha Bitch|Princess]] [[Rich Bitch|Hazel]] (Li'l is the more sympathetic of the two, since she genuinely falls for him) by courting Hazel, but meeting Li'l, and "forgetting" to mention it. When Li'l finds out she (rightfully) leaves him. He shows up later, admitting to have fallen in love with her.

* Fox from ''[[Boy Meets Boy]]'' and ''[[Friendly Hostility]]'' flirts with [[Anything That Moves]], until he develops a serious interest in his best friend Collin. Collin, fully aware of Fox's lecherous nature, initially refuses to play into his "game" until Fox bluntly tells him, "I'm not kidding around anymore, Collin." The two wind up in a stable and loving relationship that lasts for years, and Fox {{spoiler|is genuinely heartbroken when Collin eventually breaks up with him}}.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Tip Wilkin]] of ''[[Skin Horse]]'' has this happen to him in the current story arc when he meets [[Mad Scientist]] Tigerlily Jones. He loses his superpower ability to make any woman fall into his bed, and even loses the ability to pick handcuffs with a bobby pin. Don't ask why he would need to.

** Wally's philandering ways began well [http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20060913.html before] his marriage to Rebecca, and continued [http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20070427.html after they were wed]; when he quit playing around, however, it seems he [http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20100126.html quit for good].

* A rare gender-inversion with [[Tsundere|Mora]] towards [[The Philosopher|Minos]] in ''[[Las Lindas]]''. {{spoiler|They do get together.}}
