Yeah, Kirk's not very horndog-ish at all. He does get a handful of actual love interests, but just a pretty standard number for old timey episodic shows with periodic hot woman guest stars.

And then there's an episode where there's a salt vampire alien who changes its appearance to be most attractive to the person looking at it. She's impersonating a woman McCoy used to know. McCoy imagines the young blonde bombshell who she's impersonating, un-aged since he saw her years and years ago. Some redshirt sees a different young blonde bombshell. Uhura imagines this gorgeous hunk who speaks her native language. Kirk imagines a sophisticated-looking woman in her late 30s, because that's what his brain tells him her age should be given what McCoy told him about her. And then there's an episode with a bunch of women who pump themselves full of beauty drugs to be irresistibly desirable. Everyone ogles them, even Spock, and most people lose their self control around them -- but not Kirk. His eyes bug out when he first sees them, he gets a grip on himself two seconds later, and he's polite as stone for the rest of the episode.

There's a couple of episodes where he is kind of horndog-y, like Wolf in the Fold, but the ENTIRE male cast except Spock was horndog-y in that episode, not just him. Chalk it up to too much time without shore leave...

Re: Star Wars The way Luke smugly folds his arms behind his head and sticks his nose in the air at Han, seriously? If his feelings for Leia were serious he wouldn't be preening that way. But everyone is just like "omg they KIIIIISSSSSSED."

Well consider me informed! That's actually pretty cool tbh, not that he can't be super-into sex or anything but it's just such a difference from what I've been told and read what he's like and I find it kind of interesting how popular opinion of him trumps the actual canon(though I imagine as a fan it's really frustrating). Also it seems to be a big difference to his reboot counterpart as well.

Ikr? He's such a little shit in that scene and part of it is to piss Han off more, 'look who kissed me but wont kiss you, which you so obviously want >:)'.

Well, the funny part is even fans seem to mostly think he's a horndog too. Even really old fanfic is all full of stuff about this James T-for-Tomcat Kirk. IDK I have a feeling it may have developed because it contrasts even more with Spock or something. But I'm sure William Shatner's RL personality also played a role in the pop culture image of him.
