Line 36:
** In a more straight up example, there is a certain degree of [[UST]] between [[The Baroness]] and the local [[Heroic Bloodshed]] Chow Yan Fatt character [[Expy]]. It has been implied that they were one of the few people to have fought the other to a stalemate. At the very least Chang is one of the few people besides Rock that Balalaika seems to flirt with.
*** of course, the idea of anyone dominating Balalaika is too ridicolous to contemplate.
* In ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'', Forte Stollen's secret fantasy is to be a damsel-in-distress who has her life saved from certain death by "A Strong Man, A Really Strong Man", who will then carry her around in his arms like a bride. When she encounter just such a
* The hot-blooded, agressive [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]] pilot Asuka Langley Soryu actively scorns admirers her age, but has a major crush on the suave, dashing (and much older) secret agent Ryoji Kaji. She even [[Lampshades]] this at one point by saying something along the lines of, "none of these pathetic boys are a real man like Kaji." This being Eva, of course, the trope is played with by her [[Weakness Turns Her On|secret attraction to the much more passive Shinji Ikari]], although she is unwilling to admit this to herself.
* The h-manga ''Isshoukenmei na Kimi ga Suk'' features a subversion: The head of the martial arts club (a girl) tells the boy who confessed to her that he's too weak to date. He immediately joins her club and starts training. While he does get stronger, after a year he's still nowhere near her
** In ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', female saints have to wear a mask as a symbol that they've renounced their femininity. Traditionally, if a man ever sees their face without a mask, their choices are to either kill the man, or fall in love with him. This was evidenced in-story by Ophiuchus Shaina, who was seen without her mask by Pegasus Seiya, early on in the series. At first she tries to kill him out of humiliation... but eventually she falls in love with him, to the point where she risks her life for him several times.
* Deconstructed (or something) in the ''[[Bamboo Blade]]'' manga: Ura's father was going to confess his love to Tsubaki (Tamaki's mother) once he beat her at kendo, but he [[Can't Catch Up|Couldn't Catch Up]], never managed to win, and therefore never confessed his love.
Line 98:
** She ends up with a rather hen-pecked [[Momma's Boy]], and with Sarah wearing the pants in the relationship, the two are [[Happily Married|perfectly happy together]].
* ''[[Gor]]'' infamously applies this idea to ''all'' women. In the first book Tarl doesn't rape the woman he kidnaps; at first she is [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|offended]], then she decides he isn't a real man and nearly manages to kill him. Once she does get enslaved she's totally into him after some token complaints.
* Played with in [[Roger Zelazny]]'s ''Creatures of Light and Darkness'': Megra insists on fighting the
* Another male version of this is Peaceable Drummond Sherwood from ''[[The Sherwood Ring]].'' His response to a woman who manages to outsmart him (something he's never seen before) is to propose to her. Before passing out from the drug she just convinced him to drink.
