Animal Chick Magnet

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

This trope is about the fact that women seem to be naturally fond of animals, and tend to show more interest in a man who has one or more.

Compare Pick Up Babes with Babes, Cuteness Proximity.

Examples of Animal Chick Magnet include:


  • An ad for... something (Captain Morgan's rum maybe?) has some men running a beagle puppy rental booth for this purpose.

Anime

  • This kind of thing happens often enough in Pokémon.

Live Action TV

  • How I Met Your Mother: Barney harnesses the power of a ridiculously cute teapot pig to get women into his apartment.
  • Road Rules season 7 "Latin America": Abe Ingersoll used Menudo, the group's pet Chihuahua, to meet girls.
  • Will and Grace, Jack used Will's dog to pick up guys.

Western Animation

  • Johnny Bravo tries this by buying an emu. Goes about as well as expected.
  • In an episode of American Dad, Steve wants to get a dog for this purpose. His dad brings him home an old, weak, dying, 20-year old dog. Steve reluctantly takes it, and gets mocked by some passing girls. However, he sees this as a positive since a girl "noticed him".
  • Gender-flipped in the Phineas and Ferb episode "Mispercieved Monotreme", where Candace appropriates her brothers' pet platypus after her crush Jeremy mentions that "you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat animals" and invites her to his charity pet-wash.
