The demonic interpretation of the Don Juan legend, created by the seventeenth-century French playwright Moliere, and immortalized by Mozart in his opera, 'Don Giovanni', received support in the twentieth century from a strange quarter. The scientific investigation into the private sexual lives of the bourgeoisie and masses was begun early in the twenteith century through the discipline of psychoanalysis. Intially, a psychological therapy for mental illness, psychoanalysis evolved psuedo-scientific theories aimed at explaining such things like character development and differentiation. A famous psychoanalyst by the name of Wilhelm Stekel wrote a book titled, 'Bisexual Love', in which he resurrected the demonic interpretation of the Don Juan character. Basing his claims and conclusions on the clinical study and psychoanalysis of several Don Juan character-types, he reached the startling conclusion that Don Juan was really a repressed homo. In this way, he tries to explain Don Juans' frequent flight and dissatisfation with women. Counterposing Don Juan to Casanova, he argues Don Juan is really a misogynist (woman-hater) and a truly disturbed character-type.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
FYI: Don Juans are Homos!

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Wikapedia defo of a Don Juan: (Been on forums before)
The legends say that Don Juan seduced, raped or killed a young girl of noble family, and killed her father. Later, he came across a statue of the father in a cemetery and impiously invited it home to dine with him, an invitation which the statue gladly accepted. The ghost of the father arrived for dinner as the harbinger of Don Juan's death. The Statue asked to shake Don Juan's hand, and when he extended his arm, he was dragged away to Hell.
Most authorities agree that the first recorded tale of Don Juan is El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra (The Playboy of Seville and Guest of Stone) by Tirso de Molina. Dates vary for the first publication of this, from 1620 to 1635, depending upon the source, although it appeared in Spain as early as 1615.
Depending upon the particular rendition of the legend, Don Juan's character may be presented in one of two perspectives, or somewhere in between: According to some, Don Juan was a simple, lustful womanizer, a cruel seducer who simply gets sex wherever he can. Others, however, see Don Juan as a man who genuinely loves every woman he seduces, and it is his gift to see the true beauty and intrinsic value which exist within every woman.

Do you think being gay gets in the way of getting more women? Is it bad to be gay? I always liked sticking my finger in my bum as a kid. I still stare at my d!ck when I masturbate, is that gay? What if I play football, and I like to rest my hand on my friends crotch? I always like to see how big my friends asses are, is that gay?
Oh yeah, and what's wrong with being a misogynist? Hating women rocks, it's so easy to be uninterested when I think they are useless pieces of meat good for nothing except giving me head.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Thanks for the info Tomatoes. In my research on Don Juan I didn't think to look up for info on Wikapedia, which is a fantastic resource! Stekel has both a broad category for Don Juan character-types, which he then subdivides into the Don Juans (mysogynistic seducers) and the Casanova types, which he believes really do love women and are more in touch with their femaninity, but in a health sublimated way. He explains Don Juans' promiscuity as evidence of unconscious homosexual instincts. These repressed instincts motivate Don Juan to prove his heterosexuality by sleeping with alot of women, but his endless conquests only prove his lack of satisfaction with any woman.Tomatoes said:
