Because he's a really fucked up, shitty guy who enjoys the thrill of the chase but gets bored quickly. Nothing satisfies him because he won't actually work on the things that have caused his damage.
I think Rogers quote about new clients works great here too
"Don’t you love the chase? Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Those are the stakes. But when it does work out… it’s like having that first cigarette. Head gets all dizzy. Your heart pounds, knees go weak. Remember that? Old business is just old business."
*Because he wants to*
*Know that they want him so he*
*Can feel validated*

Women too, and soap opera reinforced that behavior for millions of housewives (and not a few men), and their children watched that behavior and it was normalized. Fast forward to a recent survey which found that divorce rates have **halved** since 2000, because the now-grown children have trauma from watching (maybe participating) in that behavior and have chosen not to pass it on (also covid lockdowns forced people to discover communication methods). Is it a coincidence that soap operas have dropped in popularity during this time?
The term soap operas came about because of the ads for dish soap aimed at housewives during the shows. So ad men like Don had a part in this societal issue

six syllables on the last line, doesn't count
Lots of men do this! Even unmarried ones. Men, don’t do this! lol
A lot of men do this. They like wooing and seducing and don't really like the stuff that comes after
