* Does Carl really have some sort of disorder with NoSocialSkills, or is he just a geek/nerd stereotype?
* How is it that ''none'' of the women Johnny tried picking up were punished for attacking him? As far as we know, all Johnny did was harmless flirting and never touched any of them. Pretty sure that's physical assault and would result in serious jail time.

* If the demon needed to make Johnny Bravo sin that bad, why didn't it just help him out in his dating life? "Hitting on chicks" seems far easier for Johnny to focus on than [[PokeThePoodle petty crimes]]. He gets girls and the demon in turn gets to mentor him the incubus way. He could even be a {{foil}} to the sensitive male.

** When asked, the creators have said that Johnny's continued on-screen failure (aside from Velma) is purely for the sake of comedy, and that in reality picking up girls isn't such an issue for him when the camera isn't in focus. After all, the botched volcano sacrifice kinda proved he wasn't a virgin.

** Adding to this, while he isn't a virgin [[ParalyzingFearOfSexuality his actions when entering the spies' apartment must tell women otherwise]]. For him, initiating dates is one thing. But afterwards, acting on them is another.

** Going by the pilot episode, Johnny does have the skills to draw a beautiful woman's interest (the beautiful woman being the zookeeper Mary). Right after he changes into his karate gi and speaks of his "special powers", Mary looks like she's interested in him. Mary lets Johnny hunt for the zoo's escaped gorilla instead of telling him to keep out, suggesting he impressed her enough to think he was capable of catching the gorilla (turns out he wasn't). When put with the rest of the Van Partible episodes it's easy to say that Johnny isn't lacking in strength and charisma but his {{Jerkass}} behavior and buffoonery repeatedly ruins his shots with the ladies.

** He may have the looks, but he has all the charisma and intelligence of a brick and is notoriously shallow, only hitting on women for their looks. His looks may get their attention, but unless the woman is equally shallow, he's going to fail once he starts talking.

* How was Johnny a CasanovaWannabe and not TheCasanova? Regardless of how dumb he is, his fantastic body should've ensured he had at least a few women surrounding him.
