John Mayer reportedly has a split personality which he uses to win women over.

The notorious Hollywood charmer has had his dating secrets exposed by an acquaintance. Pop singer Melissa Lefton has known singer John for over a decade and explained how he manipulates his two personalities to seemingly give women everything they are looking for in a partner.

"John basically has two personalities: the romantic, sweet, good guy you hear in his songs, and the player who loves 'em and leaves 'em," Melissa revealed to British magazine Grazia. "The guy has it all so he can get away with murder."

The rock star is involved in an on-off relationship with pop star Katy Perry. The turbulent twosome were reported to have broken up last month after ladies' man John left divorce Katy heartbroken. Most recent reports however, have placed the couple as being back on again, after they were spotted together in public last week.
