John Bonds With Gerard!

And between the two, we're sure they've conquered most of Hollywood!

In the midst of an interview with Details magazine, John Mayer spots Gerard Butler at El Lay's Chateau Marmont and strikes up a 20 minute conversation.

"We talked about New York . . .We're in a bit of the same position of being branded womanizers," said Mayer, when asked by the interviewer.

The two both have a penchant for dating famous women, but John wants to set the record straight.

"You just never know who's going to come into your life. To my mind, the only thing sicker than saying, 'Wow, you're a famous person and it would do a lot for my career to go out with you,' is to say, 'Wow, you're a famous person and I like you and all, but I can't do that to my career.' I don't think either of those is a good option."

We get it, yet Mayer still knows that he doesn't win fans with his overwhelming opinions!!

"What if I had a booth on the street and I said, 'Attention, everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I'm ready to hear your gripes! ….I will only be speaking to people who do not like me. Come out and let me have it. I will not speak back.' "How many people do you think would be standing there? I'm talking about people getting the chance to tell me directly, 'I think you're a douchebag.' You know how many people would do it? Ze-ro."

Don't tempt us!
