Line 137:
* Christian Troy on ''[[Nip Tuck|Nip/Tuck]]''.
* Tony Dinozzo on ''NCIS''.
* Captain Jack Harkness in ''[[
* Brian in ''Seacht''.
* Patrick of ''[[Coupling]]'' behaves like a cold hearted seducer, unable to see women as anything but potential conquests, dumping his girlfriends almost immediately, and compiling a vast collection of sex tapes of his conquests. Interestingly, he avoids being loathsome, as he's portrayed as stupid rather than deliberately malicious.
Line 183:
* Danny Blue on [[Hustle]] and Eliot Spencer on [[Leverage]] both manage this.
* Al from ''[[Quantum Leap]]''.
* Gaius Frakking Baltar on the reimagined ''[[
* ''[[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:

* Panther Caruso from ''[[Star Fox (Video Game)|Star Fox]]'' relentlessly pursues Krystal, and is described more than once [[Word of God|by Nintendo]] as being a self-proclaimed ladies' man. He could, however, be a slight subversion in the sense that he never really gets anywhere with Krystal (who shares a mutual affection with Fox McCloud), whom tends to either ignore, humour or outright reject his advances in ''Assault'' and their cameo appearances in ''[[Super Smash Bros (Video Game)|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The only game where he does seem to succeed in any way with her is ''Command'', and whilst he is depicted as devoted to her, it's very much implied the only reason she's with him is because Fox kicked her off the Star Fox team ([[
* Gannayev of ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]: Mask of the Betrayer'' regularly abuses his Spirit Shaman powers for the sake of jumping into the fantasies of innocent young farmgirls and having hot dream-sex. One sidequest deals with a girl with latent powers that wasn't satisfied with just a one-night stand and ended up creating her ''own'' Gannayev in her head. Real Gann wasn't amused.
* Goto, from [[Mana Khemia]] 2, is seen going on dates with various students ''in groups'' (as well as some one on one time with the Chairman). When the main cast doubt his claims of natural desirability they take a school-wide poll, only to find out that 100% of the girls want him as well as [[Even the Guys Want Him|1/3 of the guys]], and the only reason the members of Ulrika's workshop aren't effected is he's purposefully toning down his charm around them. Then things get a bit complicated when the son of one of his old flings shows up looking for revenge...

* Hugh Griffin, president of the *USA in ''[[Decades of Darkness]]''. As the author writes, his wife knows when to look away.
* Jake from the ''Booty Call'' set of Flash games.
Line 315:
** Mostly in France. Saved America by turning French salons in America's favor.
* [[David Bowie]].
* If [[Real Life]] was fiction, than Prince Felix zu Schwarzenburg would be a very dark take on this trope, possibly verging on deconstruction. A major ladies man in his younger days, Felix [[Really Gets Around|slept]], drugged, and [[The Alcoholic|drank]] his way across every major court in Europe, and scored with some of the most sought after women of the time period. And by the time he was forty, he was so burned out that people who knew him said that there was nothing left, save cold, icy ambition (for his country, not himself). Becoming Foreign-Minister of Austria in 1848, Felix served as [[Evil Chancellor|advisor]] and [[Evil Mentor|mentor]] to [[The Emperor|Emperor Franz-Josef]] advocating a [[Pragmatic Villainy|pragmatic]], [[The Cynic|cynical]] foreign policy based on [[My Country, Right or Wrong|what was best for Austria]]. When asked if Franz-Josef should show mercy to the rebels of 1848, Felix responded that "Mercy is a fine quality, but first, we must have some hangings." He later stated that Austria would "shock the world by the depth of its ingratitude." He died prematurely in 1852 of a stroke, mourned in Austria, and hated everywhere else. In London, his [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|duplicity]] and his womanising actually earned him the nickname "The Prince of Cadland."
** 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]].
