Tony Stark a womanizer? Not exactly.
Apr. 14th, 2008 06:54 pmYeah, I said it. I don't think Tony Stark is a womanizer. I got to thinking about this after reading this thread on the CBR forums.
I said:
He isn't a womanizer and hasn't been for decades. Perhaps that's what his characterization was initially (I would argue otherwise, except in the reeeeally early days), but his sexuality is a lot more complicated than playah. I think, if you actually listed the women he's canonically had sex with, you'd be surprised at how low the number is for an international playboy. You'd also be surprised at how many of those sexual encounters took place in the context of a serious romantic relationship - and for a womanizer, he's been serious about a lot of women. ( tl;dr-ness and disorganized rambling )
