Line 27:
** Another major subversion is not only Hancock stronger than Luffy, it isn't his 'manly' traits that attracted her to him in the first place. It was his empathy, chastity (being able to resist her charms), and his general affability. In this case it was more like all Amazons end up with Hercules because they're the only ones capable of surviving long enough to show they're not complete dicks.
*** She also love him because he punched a World Noble in the face. {{spoiler|She was captured, enslaved, and tortured by them when she was young.}}
*** The Amazon Lily arc was obviously a [[Shout
** Before Hancock, there was Alvida, who became smitten with Luffy due to the fact that he was the first man to beat her in a fight.
* Might be either played straight or averted in ''[[Angel Densetsu (Manga)|Angel Densetsu]]'', depending on your take. Kitano, after all, ''is'' [[Lightning Bruiser|pretty strong]]. On the other hand, we have two [[Ax Crazy]] [[Waif Fu]] practitioners hitting on an [[Actual Pacifist]].

== Comic Books ==
* It doesn't play out like the typical scenario, but - [[She Hulk|Jennifer Walters]], as [[Hot Amazon]] as they come, had a long-standing crush on the [[Marvel Universe]] take on [[Incredible Hercules|Hercules]]. Hercules' relationship with the actual amazons is not that great, Hippolyta is still infatuated with him; however, she's an evil violent [[Stalker With a Crush]] who will do whatever she can to sleep with him including [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|turning him into her sex slave]]. This trope is later Subverted with her [[Psychopathic Manchild]] daughter who hates him because of her mother's obsession with him.
* [[Wonder Woman]]:
** In [[The DCU]], she certainly had no respect for Heracles for doing the above to her mother, but Herc and the Amazons eventually made peace in modern times.
Line 76:
== Literature ==
* An old novel called ''Who Needs Men?'' had a post-[[Gendercide]] all-female society who go game-hunting for the last enclave of men, in Scotland. The protagonist, a hunter of escaped men, ends up in their settlement and falls for the leader.
* ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe|The Courtship of Princess Leia]]'' has Luke as even more of a [[Chick Magnet]] than the rest of the [[Expanded Universe]], bedding not one but ''two'' women from matriarchal societies. Of course, [[Femme Fatale|one is just trying to kill him]] and [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|the other uses the Force to arouse him]].
* Inverted in ''Bethany's Sin'', where the Amazon-possessed women of the town not only browbeat their cringing husbands, but {{spoiler|amputate a limb from each, as they think that being amputees will concentrate the men's fertility and increase their own chances for daughters}}. They don't just spurn Hercules, they deliberately turn their men into his hapless, weakling opposites.
* Subverted in ''Reality Check'' by Charlie Brooks. Anne Westfeld is essentially an amazon who begins the novel dating the equivalent of Hercules in Jesse Gondolin, aka the Jungle Cat. However, {{spoiler|it turns out she really wants Greg Crispin, a physical weakling}}.
