Who is Don Draper? A smooth talking, successful advertising executive and a philandering womanizer on the hit show 'Mad Men'. His character has managed to mesmerize us all (well, at least the women who watch him every week) and we wanted to know why he is the way he is.
As discussed on the show, Don Draper is his assumed identity, so for this, we're going to focus on his true identity: Richard 'Dick' Whitman, a Sagittarius whose birthday falls on December 1.
The stinking Sagittarius is represented by the centaur, a half-man, half-horse; free, strong, a good shot with a bow and arrow and magnanimous by nature. They also have great luck. Like all the time. Sagittarius' always seemed to be rewarded by the universe for their minimal effort with boundless luck. When they dream, they dream big, and usually get a little help from their friends along the way. A Sagittarius may tell the story differently, but deep down they know that they wouldn't be where they are without the help of others.
For a Sagittarius, life is an everyday party. They give off a vibe twenty-four hours a day of warmth and friendliness. They love everyone and if their throwing a party, everyone is invited. No one is left out… ever. But for some, this can be disconcerting because it's almost like they cast a spell and draw people in without even trying.
Dating a Sagittarius? Chances are, they don't deserve you. And don't waste time over-thinking your relationship because the relationship will be over before it really even started. Why you ask? Sagittarius' do not like being tied down to one person for very long; they prefer to leap freely through the woods, like the Centaur that they are, sowing their oats as broadly and wildly as possible.
They are also extremely physical, so be prepared to bring on the sensuality. Think shoulder rubs, massages, and lots of hugs. But be warned; if a Sagittarius cheats on you, it's really not their fault. It's your own fault for being way too boring. These guys are pretty high-maintenance partners. They need you to laugh at their jokes, even when they aren't funny. They need you to stimulate them intellectually and intimately, while remaining a sexualized mystery. And they need you to overlook the occasional clues of infidelity.
Below is exactly what you need for dating a Sagittarius like Don Draper:
-Sense of humor: They like to joke around and you need to be able to take a joke. Laugh even when it's not funny.
-Stamina: They like to be touched and physically stimulated ALL THE TIME.
-Less than 20-20 vision: This will help you to ignore the occasional suspicions of Sagittarius. If you want to stay together, ignore the lipstick on the collar, or the middle of the night texts. Just pretend you don't see it.
-Patience: They take a long time to commit, but fall in love fast.
-Spirit of adventure: Be up for anything – they like to get wild.
-A little mystery: Let them enjoy the thrill of the chase, before they go in for the kill. Play it cool.
Starting to sound a bit like Mr. Draper? Well, let's take a look at what Bad Birthdays says about his actual birthday.
"December 1st natives are usually smart enough to get by and pretty damn funny to boot. Unfortunately, they think that's all they need in life to get by, and they neglect the give-and-take it requires to form real connections with friends and family. This can be a real curse, and often leaves the December 1st-er feeling lonely and aimless, even when they're surrounded by others".
In essence, Don Draper is a friendly, and luck-filled man, with a good sense of humor and a love of women, LOTS of women. He just hopes that you'll be able to turn a blind eye to any affairs he may be having. It's a good thing he's not the real Don Draper. Otherwise he would have been a cheating, philandering womanizer that won't shut up.
