Not all songs are based in reality, they’re just stories that sound good. Plus most are a time capsule of the times they were made in, being a womanizer wasn’t as frowned upon back then and was pretty much expected of musicians
I don’t disagree, but I still think it says something about the writer of the song. Cheating on your wife is and was scummy behavior, and so is romanticizing it, just less so
Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like proudly announce what an absolute scumbag the author is

Essentially every eagles song is from the perspective of an alcoholic who can’t get relationships right.
