ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Don Juanism

Okay kiddo, let me explain Don Juanism in a way you'll understand. Do you remember the story of Don Juan, the famous fictional character who was a ladies' man and had lots of girlfriends? Well, Don Juanism is named after him and refers to a man who always needs to be with different women to feel important and popular.

It's like when you have a toy you really like to play with, but eventually, it gets boring and you want to play with a new toy. Don Juanism is kind of the same thing, but instead of toys, it's with girlfriends. A man who practices Don Juanism wants to be with many different women all the time because it makes him feel good.

But here’s the problem with Don Juanism, it's not a good thing because it often leads to hurt feelings and broken hearts. Imagine you have a friend who wants to play with you one day, and the next day he wants to play with someone else. You would feel sad and left out, right? That's why having many girlfriends without real love or respect can be hurtful and unkind to others.

So, it's important to remember to treat people with kindness and respect, and not to use them just to make ourselves feel popular or important. True happiness and popularity come from having genuine connections and friendships with others.
