Oh you mean Tony “Had A Mechanical Chest Plate And Couldn’t Have Casual Sex Because Then Everyone Would Know He Was Iron Man And He Didn’t Want People To Know” Stark?

I’m so passionate about this because there are times in the comics when the writers take this whole “womanizer” thing to extreme. Tony who told Vision that he can’t read magazine’s to understand women because when you’re interested in someone you have to know what they like and who they are as an individual and gender boxes don’t apply.

Tony who when he falls in love he falls so hard that he legit doesn’t think about anyone else. I mean he’s this rich famous good looking guy and yet he doesn’t cheat on his lovers. If it’s casual he makes it KNOWN it’s casual but if it’s not the man is all in.

Tony who told corny lines to Whitney Frost who was self conscious about her scars.

Tony who caught himself staring at Rumiko at the beach and felt SLEEZEY for being that guy who gawks at hot women in bikinis.

Tony who has been manipulated and used in relationships before (Sunset Bain and Indries Moomji) and more casual affairs (Justine Hammer)

Tony who was shot point blank in the chest by someone he was in a casual relationship with

Tony likes to dote on his dates. He likes to make people happy because that’s what he does. He doesn’t take care of himself he takes care of everyone else (or at least tries to) so yes he’s going to flirt and say corny pick up lines but why does that equate to “womanizer” and why does that make fans and some writers think he’s going to slap a woman’s ass (I WILL FOREVER SCREAM BLOODY MURDER AT THAT DAMN COMIC *flips table*)

He’s loves love okay?? He’s a helpless romantic. 

And also…he tries to keep up appearances. He’s /suppose/ to be this suave eligible bachelor so he plays the role. In early Iron Man comics he’d have a new date every issue but then make up same lame excuse to leave (because I go back to my first point of him trying to keep IM a secret) but he always felt SO GUILTY like he was using them, which he was technically, but still.

LMFAO

Tony Stark who talks about the hottness of the male body?Tony Stark who fucked a skrull and when he found out it was a skrull was like “¯\_(ツ)_/¯ yolo”Tony Stark who hit on an alien with no discernible gender?Tony Stark who hates how much he finds Dr. Doom attractive?Tony Stark who hella flirts with Johnny Storm?

You mean THAT Tony Stark? Oh yeah he’s totally straight.

I’m also going to include a little bit of my own headcanon in here because I have a reasons why I think Tony is not seen with men in the comics (besides the obvious)

So it’s pretty clear to me that Tony trusts women more than men. When Scott Lang was telling Tony that the suit was killing him Tony basically brushed him off. Two seconds later when Jane Foster said “No no Tony he’s right” Tony was like “Oh well shit if Jane thinks so maybe I should pay attention”

There are quite a few instances where Tony takes the word of a woman before that of a man. Dr. Strange telling everyone that Wanda was dangerous and Tony was just like “Uuuuh nope.”

Tony who has taken Carol Danvers’ advice over Steve Rogers.

I chalk this up to his childhood. Tony was abused by Howard in the comics. There was one comic I read where Howard backhanded him for crying over his dog that ran away when he was 8. There’s a comic where Maria threatened to leave Howard (or worse) if Howard touched her son again.

So you have a man who was abused at the hands of his father and looked up to his mother as a protector and hero. I also headcanon that one of Tony’s love languages is physical touch, so for a good portion of his life he was taught that men hurt and women don’t.

WHO IS THIS WHAT??? WHAT??? WHA???

Alright lemme break this shit down.

Peter was one of the first kids that Tony ever connected with. I mean he made the Iron Spider suit as a “re-birthday gift” because they thought Peter died and he didn’t and Tony was SO HAPPY he made him a freakin’ special suit. Not to mention paid all of Peter’s bills and kept MJ and May safe. Peter has always been important to Tony but to suggest Tony wouldn’t do that for Riri, Kamala, Sam or Miles?????????? R U FRICKIN’ KIDDING ME???

TONY WHO WAS ON THE DOWNLOW MAINFRAME IN AVENGERS MC2 AND BASICALLY MR. MOM TO ALL OF THEM???

TONY WHO CASSIE LANG HAS CALLED “UNCLE TONY” IN THE COMICS SINCE SHE WAS KNEE HIGH TO A GRASSHOPPER???

TONY WHO PROBABLY HAS KNOWN KATE BISHOP HER ENTIRE LIFE GIVEN THEY MOVE IN THE SAME SOCIAL CIRCLESTONY WHO WENT TO THE FUTURE WITH ALL THE KIDDOS TO STOP ULTRON AND HE WAS STILL ALIVE AS AN OLD MAN PLAYING ONCE AGAIN MR. MOM TO ALL OF THEM

TONY WHO GOES TO THE ORPHANAGE TO SURPRISE THE KIDS ALL THE TIME WITH COOL IRON MAN STUFF

TONY WHO LOVES KITTY PRYDE LIKE A LITTLE SISTER AND IF GIVEN THE CHANCE WOULD PROLLY TRY TO ADOPT ALL THE X-MEN WHEN THEY WERE KIDS

Like WHY is there this push that Tony would pick one over the other??? He absolutely loves all of those kids. He GETS kids, he LIKES kids, he’s a big gigantic dorky man child himself.

Like I cannot even *throws things*

And if we’re talking Miles. Like GUYS in Ults Tony was Peter’s TEACHER. Tony was the one who convinced SHIELD not to make Peter stop and trained Peter and helped Peter deal with the symbiotes and when Miles came around at first Tony FLIPPED HIS SHIT because we’re talking about his little bro but omg if he didn’t absolutely fall in love with Miles too. The only thing different was he wasn’t as laid back like he was with Peter but that’s because he already LOST Peter and he didn’t want to lose Miles too. 

((Full of hurt and wrath and not taking one second to deal with the first uwu Sometimes mirth and wrath. He wants everyone, himself included, to believe he's always having a good time!

He has his genuine happy moments! Though yeah probably not full of happiness.
