In most countries where people of colour make up the majority, expect TheCasanova to belong to the dominant ethnic group in a given country (for example, Han Chinese in UsefulNotes/{{China}}, Yamato Japanese in UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}, and Arabs in the Arabic-speaking world).

Added DiffLines:

This trope tends to suffer from three [[DoubleStandard double standards]] when portrayed in media:
* The first is that the Casanova is [[AlwaysMale always male]], given that [[MyGirlIsNotASlut women are usually shamed for having an active sex life]]. The comparatively [[GenderInvertedTrope rarer female version]] is an [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Aphrodite&defid=8214600 "aphrodite,"]] but she’ll likely be portrayed as an evil character who [[TheVamp exploits her sexuality to manipulate innocent men]]. The womanizing skills of the Casanova, on the other hand, will almost always be portrayed heroically.
* This trope also applies almost exclusively to ''straight'' men, given that [[DepravedHomosexual queer people with an active sex life are usually villainized in media]]. Meanwhile, straight men get to be portrayed as badasses for having multiple women at their beck and call. Bisexuals or demisexuals are even rarer, though not unheard of; for example [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Oberyn Martell]].
* In the media of the Western world, the Casanova trope is also usually only applied to white men. [[MatzoFever Men]] [[MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow of]] [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt colour]] [[MoralMyopia having, expressing or giving into their sexual desires is often portrayed negatively]] or PlayedForLaughs.
