Modern Rakes?

I had a thought while watching the movie Made of Honor yesterday, and I think it is interesting enough to warrant its own Salon post. I'm interested to hear what you all think on the matter.

So my thought was this: We all know about the idea of "The Rake" (see below), and even better, "The Rake Reformed," but is there a modern day equivalent to this?




Some candidates:
The Douchebag

Pros: Exhibits such self-destructive, egocentric, lothario ways as seen in the historical rake.
Cons: I'm pretty sure a rake is supposed to be desirable. This douche is not. Would we even care about reforming this guy?

The Lothario

Russell Brand is quite the ladies man in England. Also so is Calum Best apparently - but do we even know who he is? I tried to think of some lotharios from America, but all I kept thinking of was Wilmer Valderrama and that was a little too vintage for me. So we'll just deal with Russell until someone can think of a better example.
Pros: A ladies man exhibits some pretty self-evident rake behavior: i.e. getting with a lot of ladies.
Cons: Rakes weren't only ladies men. They were debauchers of innocence! Purveyors of vice! The lothario just seems to be missing that extra spark.

"The Bro"

Pros: As best defined by Brody Jenner - this guy exhibits a little of the two categories already mentioned plus some. Dabbling in douche-baggery, with some womanizing on the side, "The Bro" also has a strong attachment to his group of guy friends (aka band of Bros). When together, these bros work as a team to increase their levels of debauchery and vice. I'm thinking that this need for male comraderie resembles the gentlemen's clubs of Regency fame.
Cons: When together, these bands of bros can experience a little "revertigo". I'm not sure rakes were ever as immature as these dudes seem to be when together. And would rakes really have had "bromances"? Not sure.

Barney Stinson

Pros: Ah Barney. Ladies Man. Bro. Sharp Dresser. Wee bit of a douche? You represent that little area in the Vin Diagram of dude-dom where all of the above categories intersect. And as we have seen from the show, you are already on your way to being reformed, and oh it is good. Robin you will be one lucky bitch when you two finally get together!
Cons: Fictional?

Are there any categories that you all think should be added to this discussion? And who do you all think is pulling ahead in the race for becoming the Modern Rake?
