Both do seem to settle down at different points Joey in Joey , and Barney with his daughter , but who is the bigger womanizer before this? To the surprise of many fans, How I Met Your Mother revealed that Barney was not always a womanizer, and lost his virginity at twenty-three after his fall from being a pretty nice, hippie guy to the awesome satan he became.
Joey, on the other hand, is on record as having sex for years, since high school and before, admitting in season six to have attended spring break at the age of only thirteen. Barney is a pretty eccentric personality with a lot of layers to him and quirks to coincide with them. One of his running gags throughout the series is his "I only have one rule," of which there are hundreds. Barney has a variety of rules to go alongside his womanizing, including never getting them wet, meaning never let them shower at your place, and never feed them after midnight, meaning do not let her stay for breakfast.
Barney tries a lot for his lifestyle. The man puts in insane amounts of effort into everything from his apartment to his rules to his attempts at seducing women. Joey, though, does not need to put in any strenuous effort, he is naturally pretty charming to women as we see throughout the series. His "how you doin'" is iconic as well as effective , and he comes across so innocent and charming we see a plethora of women give him their numbers.
Alongside Barney's million rules, he often competes in challenges that, more often than not, people do not give him. For the most part, these challenges include various ways to pick up women. Whether it be by talking like a dolphin or little boy, dressing like an older man or with a garbage bag, or by not using specific letters in the alphabet, Barney is a pro at picking up women and uses these challenges to demonstrate it. For the most part, Barney does just about all of his dirty work himself, such as getting rid of women or keeping them away from him.
Joey tends to let other people deal with his aftermath. Moreover, the gang — who only made intermittent comments about how pathetic he was — never truly called Barney out in a way that would have forced him to reflect or address his behaviour. Even worse, they helped him trick women into sleeping with women. One who was really just waiting for the right woman to come along and transform him into a decent human being.
