How To Be A Modern Casanova

Seducer, gambler, necromancer, swindler, Good Samaritan, spy, swashbuckler, self-made gentleman, entrepreneur, wit, poet, translator, philosopher and general bon vivant, Giacomo Casanova was not only the most notorious lover the Western World has ever known, but also a storyteller of the first order.

This, from the back of my well-thumbed copy of Casanova’s The Story of My Life. 

We all know the Casanova of legend. Even if we haven’t read his memoirs ourselves, his persona is writ large in the culture. His is one of those brands, rather like Coca Cola, that is so famous that it can be grasped in its entirety just on the mention of its name.

I have a podcast called The Modern Casanova. My new book, an edited and updated collection of all my game writings since 2014 will also be called The Modern Casanova. But what is a Modern Casanova and how do you become one?

A Modern Casanova is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He exists among the herd, perhaps behaves as part of the herd, but he is not of the herd.

A Modern Casanova is infinitely aware of the dynamics of the society in which he live. He is well-versed in inter-gender relations, the politics of work, the politics of love. He knows how money is made. He is a self-promotor, a businessman, but he is an artist too. He sees the beauty in life and love even as he is aware of its inherent cruelty.

Being fully-versed in Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power he is careful to always conceal his intentions. He may look like other men, he may speak like other men, but he is not like other men. He is not like other men because he has taken the time to study life and to learn. He has allowed the scales to fall from his eyes.

He knows the truth, but he has not become jaded. In fact he is extremely happy, because he has found ways to undermine and disrupt the system. Through trial and error and applied study he has discovered those loopholes in the dating market, in love, in the workplace and in business that allow him to live a life of pleasure and freedom that most of the men around him, those dumb slaves to convention, could only dream of.

The Modern Casanova is a man of culture and of art. He enjoys great music, poetry, prose, architecture, travel, the foods of many nations, the women of many cultures. He is a traveler, who disdains staying in one place for too long. He is a hedonist who nevertheless tempers his more extreme impulses with a strong, stoical work ethic.

He loves the work of other creators but he does not idolise anyone. He produces more than he consumes. He writes more than he reads, he puts out into the culture more than he takes.

He is a lover of women but he sees the truth of their flaws. He does not despise them for it: on the contrary, he loves them more for what they are, but he is not taken in. He will not be tied down and forced into any kind of slavery for the sake of sentimentality of tradition. He will enjoy each woman as one enjoy’s a delicious foreign dish, and then, when the time is right, he will move on to the next.

A Modern Casanova is not bound by any kind of convention.

Above all, the Modern Casanova is a free man in a world full of chains.
