{{quote|''"Do I really inspire that sort of frothing desire in the female masses?"''
|'''Miles Edgeworth''', ''[[Ace Attorney]]''}}
He's not [[The Casanova]], he's not [[Kavorka Man]], but he pulls girls in about as fast as they do, if not ''faster''. It's probably a good thing [[Chaste Hero|he's too innocent to notice]].
Line 175 ⟶ 176:
* Mikael Blomkvist in Stieg Larsson's "[[Millennium Trilogy]]". The amount of women falling over themselves to sleep with this financial journalist is incredible, and one can't help but feel there is a certain amount of wish-fulfillment going on on the author's part. In The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo he is already having a long-term affair with his business partner Erika. Upon moving out to Hedeby island he is quickly seduced by Cecilia Vanger, whom he has an ongoing relationship with throughout the book. Then Lisbeth comes to town as his research partner and ends up falling in love with the guy. In the sequel, The Girl Who Played With Fire, Blomkvist is sleeping with Harriet, the woman he had believed to be dead for 90% of the first book.
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'': [[First Girl Wins|Ginny]], Cho, [[Abhorrent Admirer|Romilda Vane]], and [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Moaning Myrtle]]

** It's a sort of ''thing'' with House Raith of the White Court to be that.
Line 325 ⟶ 326:
=== Real Life ===
* Frank Sinatra. ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoons featuring him frequently had the members of his audience fainting, sighing "Oh Frankie!" in ecstasy, going into seizures, or screaming. They always chased after him in huge crowds once he was done performing.
** Arguably a subversion: after his death it was revealed that many of the earlier swooning women were actually [[
** More or less the same things happened to [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]. Including the paying of actresses. Their publicists must have known each other.
* It has been claimed that poet/artist/songwriter/[[Renaissance Man]] [[Shel Silverstein]] had to beat the ladies off with sticks. Not a perfect example, as he wasn't at all "innocent" about it.
