Joan may appreciate Don's talent, looks, and charm, she really has contempt for him.
What does Joan know of Don? She told Peggy that she knows what kind of woman he marries: stunning Stepford models. “Did you know he met Betty Draper doing a print ad? Did you know she was a model? That’s the kind of girl Don marries.”
Joan found out that Don cheats in the pilot episode. She knows he knocked up his wife Monday and got divorced Tuesday. She's seen his daughter have a mini-breakdown in the office (409) because of this divorce. She's cleaned up the mess he made doing something to Allison, giving her her own mini-breakdown (404). She's seen him spend a year as a useless drunk. She didn't go to Don about the drawing of her and Lane put out by his creative department, did she? And she's seen him marry his goddam secretary?!: "Happens all the time. They're all just between marriages, you know that. He'll probably make her a copywriter. He's not going to want to be married to a secretary."
Now watch Don and Joan in the bar again. What does she say to Don that's nice? "You're irresistible," she said, resisting with ease.
Then she lets him have it, beginning at 31:55: "And who do you think's waiting at home? I bet she's not ugly. The only sin she's committed is being familiar." Don: "So you think it's all him?" Joan: "Because she can't give him what she wants?" Don: "Because he doesn't know what he wants. But he's wanting." Joan: "He knows. It's just the way he is..." Don: "I'm gonna go." Joan has no protest to make.
Was Don trying to get laid? Who knows. From what he said, not even he knows.
Joan is a master. She told Don what a **** he is, to his face, and he sent her flowers the next day. Crap, no wonder he found her intimidating.
