Known for dating a slew of starlets including Jessica Simpson -- who he called "sexual napalm" -- John doesn't exactly have the best reputation with the ladies. Although he's now linked with Katy Perry, Mayer previously had high-profile relationships -- and breakups -- with Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
"I was just a jerk," the singer confessed during an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning", which will air on Feb. 10.
Fans of Simpson may recall the March 2010 Playboy interview in which John compared the pop star to crack cocaine, adding, "Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say." Mayer's subsequent relationship with Taylor Swift ended so badly that she penned the tune "Dear John," in his, ahem, dishonor!
It appears Mayer's learning from the mistakes of his previous relationships.
"It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you," he said. "I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."
