I've lived with a few self-professed Don Juan's, and while they did get laid, they'd always report these lofty figures. Then when I'd go back and think about it I'd realize the time we lived together I never saw any evidence of that many girls being in the house/apartment. Or they'd tell variations of the same three stories over and over again, but swear there'd been like a 100 girls, of which they seem to have forgotten 90+. People have a tendency to frame their own sex lives very negatively in comparison to others in their own minds I think, but tend to exaggerate in reality. They especially are fascinated by celebrities. Yet even the celebrities I've met were all nice, normal, married, and frequently monogamous types. Even Johnny Depp has some interview where he's laughing about all these rumors people spread about his sex life and how it's honestly not that interesting. I think in effect the fantasy of one group having a power over women is just that, a fantasy. In my life at least I've found I have little control over who wants to and eventually sleeps with me.
Also I think people confuse a woman hanging around a guy because he's attractive, or being drawn to the attractiveness and wanting to sleep with that person. Many women keep attractive guys in tow for the appearance, often because they like playing games and showing that those guys will follow them. I sort of joke about these Facebook photos I see on Monday of the Saturday night crowd. A guy will post a photo with six attractive ladies. What is he with all six? Then I'll look at the girls profile. Boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend. All will have boyfriends, strangely none of them him. And I'll also bet his AMEX card has all their drink orders on it. HMMMMMMMMMMMM.....
