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.

''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.)
