"The Cads" is a term often used to describe a group of individuals known for their charming yet deceitful behavior, particularly in romantic contexts. They are typically characterized by their ability to attract partners with charisma while lacking genuine commitment or sincerity. This behavior can lead to emotional distress for those involved. In literature and popular culture, cads are often depicted as charming rogues or anti-heroes. They may appear in various forms, from classic novels to modern films, where their allure and manipulative tactics create tension and drama. Examples of such characters can be found in works by authors like Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.
