Line 22:
== Anime and Manga ==
* George from ''[[Paradise Kiss]]''.
* Guiche from ''[[
* Dio Brando from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' is so charismatic and good-looking that he managed to father four children. ''With four different women.''
* Akio and Touga from ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' use, manipulate and abuse women and men alike using in great part their sex appeal for [[More Than Mind Control]] effect. Then {{spoiler|Akio does it to Touga, establishing him as a sort of Alpha Casanova.}}
Line 31:
* Takeo Tsurumaru in ''[[Narutaru]]''.
* Paptimus Scirrocco from ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'' is a very evil version of this. He's basically what happens when you combine a Casanova with a [[Magnificent Bastard]] and give him the psychic powers of a Newtype. Generally the kind that uses his charms more to use woman as tools than just as sexual objects, though.
** Scirocco's more like [[Grigori Rasputin
* [[Karin]]'s brother, Ren, sucks the blood of stressed out women every night. He says they're usually quite grateful afterwards, but tend to [[Stalker with a Crush|keep bugging him afterward.]]
* Ryou from ''[[Strawberry Shake Sweet]]'', in a [[Girls Love]] example, has bedded about a thousand girls and that's only the known ''minimum.''
Line 182:
* Danny Blue on [[Hustle]] and Eliot Spencer on [[Leverage]] both manage this.
* Al from ''[[Quantum Leap]]''.
* Gaius Frakking Baltar on the reimagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* ''[[Star Trek]]'''s Captain James T. "Jim" Kirk and ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|The Next Generation's]]'' Commander William T. Riker.
** A [[YouTube]] user's summary of Kirk's philosophy of life:
Line 192:
* Dr. Doug Ross starts out this way in ''[[ER]]''
* Don Draper in ''[[Mad Men]]'' is probably the most prominent illustration of this trope nowadays on TV
** this video demonstrates succinctly [https://web.archive.org/web/20140607064209/http://seductionism.com/blog/01/10/how-to-pick-up-women-like-don-draper/ "How to pick up women like Don Draper"]

== 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.''
* Anthony Quinn. Three marriages, ten legitimate children, three acknowledged illegitimate children, and a string of acknowledged and confirmed sexual conquests stretching across four continents.
* [[Errol Flynn]]. He was such an accomplished and charming seducer that when he got into legal trouble in the early 1940's about having an affair with a teenager, he not only charmed the mostly-female jury into acquitting him, but ended up marrying the L.A. country sheriff's daughter, who was running a concession stand in the courthouse during the trial. The slang expression "in like Flynn" reportedly was coined as a result of that particular scandal. (This may also be an expression of [[Values Dissonance]], in that Flynn would probably have had his career wrecked today, charm or no charm.)
Line 316 ⟶ 318:
** Felix reportedly got a woman pregnant, than proceeded to end the affair and inform her husband of what had occured, getting her thrown out in the street. The woman in question was well-known for her inability to keep her legs closed (she was in fact famous in the tabloids for sleeping around), but Felix's behaviour was so callous that the press actually sided with her.
* [[Mick Jagger]].
* [[Olympic Games|Olympic skier]] Suzy Chaffee's a female version of this. She insists that throughout her skiing career, she had sex every night during competitions and she also boasts of her numerous one night stands and flings with [[Chick Magnet|many different men]] and that she never recorded [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=your%20number her number]. For all her [[The Pornomancer|blatant flirting]] though, Ms. Chaffee has never been the aggressor in her sexual encounters explaining "I give men assertive training out of bed and [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|they give me more assertive training in bed]].".
