Here's Why You Should Actually Want John Mayer To Be Your Boyfriend
John Mayer has a reputation of being a cocky ladykiller, famously making the rounds with celebs such as Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love Hewitt. But in a few short minutes, we guarantee that you'll want him as your new bae.
Regardless of his public "did he really just do that?" moments, including the time he claimed ex Jessica Simpson was "sexual napalm" in bed, this Grammy winner is a lot more boyfriend material than you may think. He and Katy Perry called it quits earlier this year, and she is open about still being cool with John, recently saying: "I have a lot of respect for him still, and I know it goes both ways. There’s no bad blood."
See? He's not all that bad. Plus, we'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt and think his experience with all of these A-list ladies has allowed him to really learn and understand women. Catch our drift? Of course he would sing to you and look extremely pretty while doing so, but that's just the tip of the sexy-sensitive iceberg that is John Mayer.
10. He doesn't take himself too seriously.
You can't have the Sunday Sads.

He shows us he can be silly and that he loves dogs?! Once, he also unapologetically wore a full on, over-the-shoulder, neon green Borat male thong. You could always use a little bit of goofball to liven things up in life. Sexy time, amiright?
9. He's hot. Like really hot.
Those muscles, that face, those gorgeous locks of dark hair. If this Details 2009 photo spread doesn't convince you, we might be concerned.
8. He's a good doer.
He's headlined and been honored by VH1's Save the Music celebration, supporting the foundation which helps restore musical education programs in public schools. Any guy that makes the time to help charity gets an A+ in our book.
7. He would serenade you.
Need we say more?
6. He's probably kinky.
Not only does he have one of the most intense O-faces when playing guitar (which we're sure would translate in the bedroom), he once said ex Jessica Simpson was "like crack cocaine to [him]." It's like another level.
5. He's really smart.
According to Katy Perry, who called him a "genius." And would you doubt Katy? Didn't think so.
4. He isn't a coward.
John is well aware that he's been called a douche by many, but he has stepped up and owned it on various occasions. A few years back, he took to the Internet to express his new found discovery, and said: “I’m kind of a douchebag. I got a little sick of myself…I’m insufferable." Being a douchebag and having the self-awareness to admit that you are one cancels each another out. This just makes him someone who would man up when need be.
3. He'll notice the little details.

In "Your Body Is a Wonderland" John sings about his lover's hair, face, skin, lips, bubble gum tongue and so much more. That new LBD and wax sure as hell wouldn't go unnoticed.
2. He'll be your knight in shining armor.

Even after he and Jessica Simpson broke up, he wrote an entire manifesto on his blog in her defense when Dallas Cowboy fans blamed her for the team's failures. In it, included: "I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas... So please don’t try and take that away from her." What woman doesn't want to be protected by her man? He also told us about his inspiration to write "Daughters" in the video above, and his attempt to fix and wounded girl he loved.
1. He'll write an ode to you.
Not many women can say they have a song written specifically about or for them, and if you said this wouldn't be a dream of yours on some level, we really wouldn't believe you. You know if John was your man, he would have a sweet melody written in your honor in no time. Swoon.
