Being a f*ckboy is not a new phenomenon. Some would argue that f*ckboyism dates all the way back to before the Ice Age when cavemen were still flaunting how many stones they had in their pile and women were only as valuable as the number of berries in their basket. F*ckboyism runs deep in our blood, so deep in fact that your grandfather's grandfather and his grandfather were probably witnesses of its development over the years. While today, everything is made public and televised for the world to see, in the past, there was less coverage going around so f*ckboys were able to get away with way more than they can today without being cancelled. Without further ado, here I am to shed light on the rich history of the lifestyle of a f*ckboy through the stories of some of its greatest implementers. Scroll down for history's most infamous f*ckboys.
As is common among artists and particularly geniuses, Picasso beats to his own drum. He had two marriages with about a million different love affairs scattered in between and despite his desire to do right by his children and wives he never really felt apologetic for his non-monogamous ways. He viewed his excess as part of his art - part of his genius.
Picasso believed he had to live his life passionately in order to sustain the fervor of his artwork. This meant sleeping with a plethora of women that he probably shouldn't have pursued. A potential madman, fueled by a lust he self-admittedly couldn't contain, Picasso was a notorious womanizer - a path that was made easy for him through his massive success as a painter and the fame and fortune he accrued following. The creator of a new art form, cubism, his life's work granted him luxuries beyond anyone's wildest dreams and relationships with high-society women and models and ballerinas that the world's greatest playboys could never comprehend.
Fitzgerald, the famed American novelist behind The Great Gatsby, is perhaps most recognized for living his actual life as wildly and erotically as he painted the privileged lives of the characters in his stories. Similar to Jay Gatsby, the protagonist of Fitzgerald's critically acclaimed novel The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald spent his days boozing and soaking up the excess age that was the Roaring Twenties. He partied harder than any of his contemporaries, rocked to more jazz than any of his fellows, and slept with more vodka-guzzling bimbos than any sane urologist would recommend. To give a better example of Fitzgerald's penchant for fuckboy machismo, Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda, was actually checked into an insane asylum as a result of the regret-free way he lived his life and subsequently treated her with. Additionally, as is a stellar indicator of his flamboyant lifestyle, Fitzgerald sadly died of a heart attack at the young age of 44 due to what most people think is a result of his excessive alcoholism.
Aside from ratifying the U.S. Constitution and being one of America's most influential founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton was a very lustful man who went so far as to blackmail a woman's husband that he was having an affair with to cover up his mistake. Some people argue that aside from dying in a gun-duel at the hands of Aaron Burr (probably trying to impress a girl), this shameful affair is actually the reason he never joined his peers in becoming a U.S. president. His affair with the blonde 23-year-old Maria is one of the earliest and most shocking sex scandals to hit the west, so in terms of being a fuckboy pioneer, one must applaud his effort.
Speaking of politicians, arguably the most notorious f*ckboy to ever occupy the Oval Office is none other than the prodigal JFK. May he rest in peace. Outside of his intelligent, smoke show of a wife, Jackie O, Kennedy was famous for bringing female guests to the White House pool and having drinks with them as they awed at his position as leader of the free world. Famously, Kennedy had an affair with a White House press office intern named Mimi Alford that ended rather poorly when the then-president asked her to give his brother Ted some action while he sat and watched. Additionally, Kennedy was rumored to have had a fling with perhaps the greatest sexual icon of the 20th century, the stunning Marilyn Monroe while holding office. Between bouts with different actresses, employees, and basically anyone else that caught his eye, I would say that it is safe to say that Kennedy's resume with women has rendered him one of the most real f*ckboys to ever do it.
