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]].

But unlike the scoundrels mentioned above, even when he ''does'' finally realize the feelings of the girls around him, he never tries to take advantage of them. He usually ends up digging himself in deeper, because by this time, he's come to [[Love You and Everybody|care for all of them]], even if just as friends, and [[Tenchi Solution|doesn't want to break their hearts]], or lose any of them if/when he finally chooses the girl he really loves. This sometimes [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|makes him look like a wimp in the eyes of some fans]], especially those who have [[OTP|their own favorite girl]], and usually don't share his concern for the others. [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|Some fans may even question his sexuality]].

== Male ==
=== Anime and Manga ===
* Pick a [[Harem Anime]] protagonist. ''Any'' [[Harem Anime]] protagonist.
* Tenchi Masaki from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' is the classic [[Unlucky Everydude]] version.
**
** Seina from ''[[Tenchi Muyo! GXP|GXP]]'' is Tenchi turned [[Up to Eleven]]. He seems pretty normal on Earth, but once he gets into space, he starts attracting girls ''outside'' his harem too.
* Rei from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' breaks up loving couples just by walking past them, causes squees whenever anything of the female gender sees him. His being dumb as a plank and loving only food does nothing to dissuade the girls. His [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|transforming into a giant goofy tiger-bull whenever excited]] might. Sometimes.
* Ranma Saotome of ''[[Ranma
** That's just girls. Let's not even get into [[Even the Guys Want Him|how many boys want him]] or the whole [[Even
* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' has both Yusaku ''and'' a [[Gender
* Negi Springfield from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. He's [[Adorably Precocious Child|a little too young]] to be worrying about love. Unfortunately for him, he's also a little too cute for his own good, which draws in girls that ''don't'' have any romantic interest in him yet. (A prime example is a chart, apparently made by Chamo, measuring the type and extent of several girls' affection for Negi is partially shown. One girl, while having rather low ''romantic'' feelings for him, has a ''maternal'' score of [[Off the Chart|12 out of a possible ''10'']].) Having insane fighting and magical skills (and selective maturity) helps. As many have noted, the situation is most likely going to get worse once he hits puberty, which has prompted Chisame to wonder if it's not best that they kill him now (chapter 125).
** That's not even factoring in the "age deceiving pills" which reveal that in five years or so, he's going to be really, ''really'' [[Bishonen]].
** To make matters even ''worse'', he has a habit of unintentionally saying things that sound like love confessions or even ''proposals''. With a totally straight face (by which we mean an adorably innocent smile).
** Lampshaded in chapter 285 by [[Meta Guy|Chisame]] again with an exasperated "We've got us another one..." after {{spoiler|Shiori}} shows visible signs of attraction to Negi.
** If you thought Negi was dense, you clearly haven't seen Kotaro. Natsumi, Mei and Madoka plus nearly as many nameless fangirls as Negi, yet manages to be even more oblivious than Negi. At least Negi ''understood'' the confessions he's gotten and picked up on, {{spoiler|although Ako's not really getting over Nagi like she pretended.}}
** Hell, Negi's such a
** In chapter 344, the ramifications of being such a powerful chick magnet are finally kicking in, and it doesn't look like it's going to be pretty for ''anyone''.
* Fubuki from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''; he not only has most of the female students at Duel Academy fawning over him, but some female teachers. He's fully aware of his powers, and occasionally humors them, but is too carefree to consider exploiting it.
* Kei Takishima of ''[[Special A]]'', and probably every male member of Special A.
* The ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', especially Tamaki Suoh.
Line 42:
* Akito Tenkawa of ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' manages to attract the eyes of about half the female crew over the course of the series, to the vocal annoyance (and sometimes ''envy'') of some of the male crewmembers. It gets [[Lampshaded]] ''constantly''.
* The tenants in ''[[The Wallflower]]'', with varying levels of embracement and sympathy between them. Kyohei, who is poor, is sympathetic since he has to leave most of his jobs due to sexual harassment ([[Even the Guys Want Him|even male bosses, and his headmaster at school try to come on to him]]). Ranmaru is the exact opposite, embracing the role fully to his own advantage.
* Rito of ''[[To
* Takuya Enoki from ''Aka-chan to Boku'' ''([[
* ''[[
** Jotaro Kujo from Part 3 was beloved by basically all the girls at his high school, probably due to his [[Troubled but Cute]] image. They ''still'' think he's irresistible when he tells them to go away.
** This also happens with the other JoJos of the different arcs, including a bit in Part 4 where this happens to another character who was disguised as the hero.
Line 50:
* Hakuoh, [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] from ''[[Duel Masters]]'', was one of these during the first season, but he was too busy being aloof and dealing with the [[Serious Business]] of card games to care. After his [[Heel Face Turn]], the effect seems to wear off.
* ''[[Rental Magica]]'''s Itsuki Iba is one of these, since he has at least three girls displaying affection for him, plus a younger one who looks up to him as her [[Big Brother Worship|"onii-chan"]].
** ...and an older lady sort of likes him. And this doesn't stop on living or
* Sasuke Uchiha from ''[[Naruto]]'' has ''so'' many emotional problems that he hardly even notices the girls that become entranced by him.
** Naruto doesn't do too bad for himself, either. Especially not if you consider the [[Filler]] arcs. And the movies. (thinking of a particular post-credits gag in particular...)
* Tokiwa Takashi from ''[[Ask Dr. Rin]]'' is an example who does seem aware of it. However, being completely devoted to [[Love Makes You Evil|the one girl who isn't interested]] turns him from that to a [[Stalker
* In ''[[Tantei Gakuen Q]]'', handsome [[The Lancer|Ryu Amakusa]] is somewhat of a chick magnet, with girls of all ages (including [[The Chick|Megumi Minami]] from his class) blushing at the mere sight of him. Once during a case that happened in [[The Smart Guy|Kazuma's]] school, a flock of several girls no older than 11 years old almost [[The Glomp|glomp-attacked]] him, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|much to his embarrassment]].
** [[The Hero|Kyu/Q]] [[Ho Yay|blushed]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|when he first saw him]].
Line 61:
** Interestingly enough, despite the fan club and [[108]] dates, ''both'' of Lelouch's main [[Love Interest|love interests]] start out thinking Lelouch is an arrogant Jerkass, and only fall for him after seeing [[Noble Demon|his hidden kind side]].
* Keitaro from ''[[Love Hina]]'' fits in. By the end of the manga, only two girls had not fallen in love with him. One of them was eight years old...
* ''[[
** Luffy actually fits this trope pretty well, especially with {{spoiler|the Kuja Amazons being all over him.}} It's not surprising, seeing as how thanks to Alvida he's never been short of admirers for most of the series. You know you're a big time
** Likely played for laughs, because in spite of all obvious evidence, Luffy does not have any clue of their attraction to him, nor does he show any attraction to anyone. Even if all the women sent him Valentine cards (if it exists in that universe), he'd probably wonder what all the paper hearts are for.
** Boa Hancock, and [[Even the Girls Want Her|she has the fangirls to prove it]]. "Is there no end to her sex appeal?"
** Alvida has all the men and women of '''R'''oguetown [[
** Also, [[Badass Princess| Vivi]], [[Mermaid| Shirahoshi]], [[Gladiator| Rebecca]], [[The Vamp| Viola]], [[Nubile Savage| Marguerite]], and [[Dark Action Girl| Reiju]] have all shown some adoration towards Luffy, though rarely anything beyond flirting. Interestingly, all of these girls except Marguerite but including Hancock have royal blood in some way.
* Jing from ''[[King of Bandit Jing]]'' is definitely a Chick Magnet. 99% of the time, when his adventure has something to do with a girl, she'll fall for him. There's also a reason why they call all the girls in the series "Jing Girls".
* Sagara Sousuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' (coupled with apparently being a Whispered magnet). Kaname, Tessa, and Nami (from ''Invisible Victory'', who is heavily implied to also be a Whispered) are all in love with him. And then there's Ena Saeki who has a crush on him. There are also strong hints that Grace Weissman (AKA Gray) had some feelings for him (or, at the very least, was ''attracted'' to him) - noticeable by how friendly she was towards him, and how quick she was to constantly defend him (not to mention opening up to him about all sorts of personal feelings). In fact, one of the soldiers asked her why she was so unreasonably defensive about him and if she had the hots for him, to which she reacts in typical [[Tsundere]] fashion. Her final internal thoughts were towards him, hoping that he wouldn't worry about her and would be able to return safely. Indeed, his pheromones are so strong that he managed to get her to feel this way towards him in the span of a few days, despite him being [[The Stoic|really quiet and hardly talking]]. Oh, and he also has one [[Ax Crazy|crazy]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|male]] [[Stalker with a Crush|stalker]]...
** He's even more of a Chick Magnet than even that - it's implied that a ''bunch'' of girls ([[Stupid Sexy Flanders|and guys]]) at school harbor crushes on him and find him incredibly good looking... the only thing is that his insane, violent behavior and unapproachability keeps them from daring to chase and pursue him.
*** It gets much worse. You know that Whispered girl (Mira Kudan) he rescued who appeared briefly in the beginning? Yeah, she apparently also fell for him and "gave her heart to him" ever since he saved her life. Except she actually [[Lampshade Hanging|acknowledges]] that she won't act on it seeing how Kaname and Tessa would kill her before she gets close.
* Suguru Misato of ''[[Mahoromatic]]'' has pretty much all the girls in the series after him, including two (maybe all three) members of triomatic, Mahoro, and his slutty, depraved, insane teacher miss Shikijo.
* Train from ''[[Black Cat (
* Ichigo Kurosaki from ''[[Bleach]]'' is known in the fandom for attracting entire harems. Orihime is outright in love with him, and Nel (Orihime's equal as a well-endowed beauty) [[The Glomp|glomps]] him at one point. Riruka of X-Cution, who saw Ichigo's face only '''once''', ''fell to her knees, gaping at his hotness''. Yoruichi has made a pass at him (although it might solely be to tease him), and Rangiku deliberately tried to seduce him once when she thought it would get her what she wanted. It's heavily implied that Senna from the first movie had feelings for him. If that wasn't enough, the fandom will then argue about whether or not [[Shipping Goggles|evidence]] exists for Rukia and Tatsuki having feelings for him too. Unsurprisingly, Ichigo is a [[Chaste Hero]] who doesn't seem especially interested in getting a girlfriend, and he's still surprisingly innocent in that area.
** In the zanpaktou filler, Hyorinmaru is considered attractive by several females, from the obvious Haineko to Tobiume, and even Suzumebachi marvels at his hotness at one point.
* Allen Walker from ''[[D
* Akio Asakura from ''[[Wangan Midnight]]''. In fact, when he ends up repeating his last year of high school due to excessive absences caused by driving the Devil Z at night so much, the lower-grade female students got excited over being able to attend high school with Akio for another year. Said obsession with the Devil Z prevents him from hooking up with them.
* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' has Touma, possibly the most extreme example in all fiction. Early in the series, nearly ten thousand girls (9969 clones and their genetic donor) fall in love with him. That's not including various girls before ''and'' after this incident. He [[Clueless Chick Magnet|has absolutely no idea of any of their feelings]].
** It apparently runs in the family, as his father Touya is another example. Unlike Touma, he's prone to flirting back, even if his wife is standing right next to him.
** Later on, there's Kakeru, who has over a hundred girls in love with him.
* Nozumu Itoshiki (the titular 'Mr Despair' of [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]), the certifiably suicidally depressed teacher whose fashion sense is stuck in the 19th century and whose personal goal is self-annihilation, somehow manages to get almost every girl in his class to fall in love with him by accident (or at the least make him the subject of their various fetishes and insanities, which is just as good... right?)
* Li/Hei from ''[[Darker than Black]]''. Apart from the standard [[UST]] with [[Hero Antagonist|Kirihara]], he's also attracted the romantic interest of two [[Loony Fan|Loony]] [[Fan Girl|Fangirls]], a Contractor that regularly forgoes the [[Planet of Hats|hat]] of rational self-interest because she's in love with him, and a girl that isn't even [[Tin Man|supposed to feel]] ''[[Empty Shell|any]]'' [[Emotionless Girl|emotions]], much less love.
** He manages to charm almost every female who encounters him, really. Even several who meet him with their only initial assumption being, "[[Fantastic Racism|Evil, inherently heartless killing machine]]." Even the ones who don't fall for him want to adopt him; his [[Miniature Senior Citizens|elderly landlady]] treats him like a surrogate son, and at least one teenage girl decided she wanted him to be her big brother. About the only exception is Season 2's Mina Hazuki... a [[Psycho Lesbian]] who [[Does Not Like Men]].
* Kitano from ''[[
* Paptimus Scirocco of ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'' fame. It's implied he uses [[Psychic Powers]] to subtley manipulate women. A particularily dangerous example, he has managed to weaponize this ability, convincing his lovers to fight & die for the sake of his nebulous goals & it's even implied his ultimate goal may be to use this power on a global scale.
* Apart from the requisite [[Love Triangle]], [[Macross Frontier]]'s Alto Saotome has an unofficial fanclub including not only the SMS [[Bridge Bunnies]] (and [[Camp Gay|Bobby]]) but also around half of his school's female population -- [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|All of which he's probably prettier than]].
* Tsukune Aono from ''[[Rosario
* Guts from ''[[Berserk]]''. Not at all obvious in the Golden Age, of course, which has as a plot point his slowly building relationship with Casca. Rather, it happens to him afterwards, where he seems to have more of a knack for having girls [[Precocious Crush|several generations his junior fall for him]]. Farnese (who is a generation younger than him) falls in love with and practically worships the ground he walks on. And then there's Schierke, who is more than a generation younger than him, and has a huge crush on him. Not to mention that it's implied that Jill (who looks to be around the same age as Schierke), an abused village girl, developed a huge crush on him as well (to the point where she repeatedly kept begging for him to allow her to permanently follow and come with him). And along with (much) younger girls, he also seems to be a demon magnet, and not just because of the [[Magnetic Plot Device|Brand of Sacrifice]] he bears. There's Slan, the only female member of the Godhand, who is ''very'' attracted to him in an evil and sadistic way. And even Rosine, a fairy-like Apostle, flirts with and [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115100318/http://view.thespectrum.net/series/berserk-volume-11.html?ch=Volume+16&page=53 mentions how attractive he is] (despite her almost [[Single

* Yuuji from ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]''. No only does he have ''two'' main Love Interests, he was also involved in...ehh...[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|questionable actions]] with a female villain, is desired by another female Crimson Denizen for {{spoiler|being the vessel of her lover}}, and becomes actually part of a Love ''Square'' due to a ''third'' girl literally clinging to him later on. And he ''still'' stays [[Oblivious to Love]] for a total of 2 Seasons.

* Fuyuki Hinata of ''[[Keroro Gunso]]'' has attracted a lot of female attention for a twelve-year-old boy. Girls who have a thing for him include schizo billionaire heiress Momoka, [[School Newspaper Newshound]] Chiruyo, a mermaid, a princess on the moon (just go with it) and Alicia Southerncross, an [[Emotionless Girl]] with a shape-shifting space entity who happens to be her adopted father on her head.
* Touya and Yukito of ''[[
* Ayumu Narumi from ''[[Spiral]]'' attracts the attention of Hiyono and Rio thanks to his amazing cooking skills. After he meets {{spoiler|Hizumi}} he goes on to find himself being confessed to nearly every day by girls who had been attracted to him but intimidated by his demeanor and the fact that he hung out with [[School Newspaper Newshound|Hiyono]] all the time.
* Agito from ''[[
* Tadase from ''[[
* Compared to some of the protagonists of harem anime, Van of ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' is only modestly successful, since he's only got three women chasing after him most of the time. However, he has the ability to attract women instantly. In episode 10, he receives a proposal of marriage from a successful businesswoman who wanted his assistance as an armor rider; in episode 21, he memorably gets a come on ''in the middle of battle'' from an enemy who finds him "adorable."
* Ryuuji from ''[[Toradora

* In ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', way back in the beginning of the series, there's all those fangirls in the school dying to give Gokudera and Yamamoto chocolates.
** And in chapter 364 when Dino introduces himself as Tsuna's English teacher quite a few of the girls [[Even the Guys Want Him|and one guy]] blush over how dreamy he is.

This leads into them realizing he's selfish, boorish, and is generally bad, and they should both dump him. [[Beat]]. "You first." "No, ''you'' first." They glumly conclude that Archie is some sort of [[Kavorka Man]].

* Connor Hawke, the unworldly second [[Green Arrow]], pretty much just has to show up for women to start throwing themselves at him (occasionally literally).
** The irony, of course, is that unlike [[Casanova|his father, Ollie Queen]], Connor is [[Celibate Hero|pretty much a monk-for-life]].
Line 132 ⟶ 133:
* The apple didn't far fall from the adoptive tree, as [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] has never had a problem with the ladies. Well, technically he ''has'', but it's more of a "getting them to go away" problem than a "getting them to come by in the first place" problem.
** His animated version even ''hooked up with Lois Lane.'' Even the Joker had to express his admiration for that one.
* Former Robin and current{{when}} Red Robin, Tim Drake, is no slouch either. While he's only ever been in a committed relationship with Stephanie (Batgirl), Darla Aquista (the Warlock's Daughter), Hong Kong gangster {{spoiler|possibly undercover cop}} Lynx, Cassandra Sandsmark aka Wondergirl (though they ultimately decided they were [[Better
* [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]] as well. His lovers' gallery is probably exceeded only by Batman, and in Batman's case most of the relationships are merely used to maintain his playboy image. In fact, the Human Torch "snaps" when he learns that his best bud Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker, who he was extremely envious of for his ability to attract women. Johnny even labeled Peter's ability the "Parker Luck", much to Spidey's amusement, who uses the same term to describe his bad luck. If you still needs proof, take a look at the 'Love Interest' section of [[wikipedia:List of Spider-Man supporting characters|this page]]. ''He even nabbed [[Incredible Hercules|Hercules]]' former wife!''
* Clark Kent/[[Superman]]. He's attracted: Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris (a mermaid!), Lois Lane, Cat Grant, [[Wonder Woman]], Maxima, [[New Gods|Amazing Grace]], The Queen Of Fables, La Encantadora, [[Supergirl]]!, [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|Ice]] (Guy Gardner's main squeeze), Obsession (Dana Dearden), a Latina cop, an alien insect queen that had taken Lana's form, and Lyla (a [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|purple-haired chick]] from Kandor).
Line 138 ⟶ 139:
* [[The Hulk]], surprisingly enough. A lot of women, both human and non human, seem to fall for him. To date he has been married at least three times (two now dead and one partially insane) and bedded many more. Bruce Banner on the other hand...
* Cyclops of the [[X-Men]] has had at least six different girlfriends, and that's just counting his mainstream version. Psylocke also once tried it on with him. In particular, he seems to be irresistible to telepaths.
* One of the main running gags for Ivar Anni-Padda in Valiant's ''[[Timewalker]]'' series. Whether he's walking down the street minding his own business, running for his life from the villain of the month or falling from the top of a skyscraper, all anybody can say about it is "Gorgeous!"
* Doug Ramsey/Cypher of the ''[[New Mutants]]''. He dated [[Ms. Fanservice|pre-bodyswap]] [[Likes Older Women|Psylocke]] as well as teammate Wolfsbane, but has also managed to earn himself quite the following of female villains.
* White Feather, a member of the super-hero parody team ''[[The Inferior Five]]''. He's a hunky, muscular fellow who tends to attract a lot of girls. Sadly, he's afraid of them, much like he's afraid of everything else; he's often used the need to be a hero simply as an excuse to get away from them, even though he's usually scared of whatever the team has to fight against. Not surprisingly, the only girl he's truly comfortable around is his friend and teammate Dumb Bunny, a fortunate situation as he's a photographer and she's a model in their civilian identities. It would be difficult for either to make a living otherwise.

* Nawat Crow in Tamora Pierce's [[Tortall Universe|Trickster Books]] is rather like this. His innocence is compounded by the fact that...well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|he's a transformed crow]] and, in the beginning, misinterpreted kissing as mate-feeding and thought that a reasonable way to substancially increase the number of available warriors was to continuously mate and have nestlings. The fact that he's adorable doesn't hurt either.
* In Simon Hawke's ''[[The Reluctant Sorcerer]]'' trilogy, women far and wide find the main character endearing to no end, because his nature strikes them smack-dab in their maternal instinct.

Subverted in Bevier's case: he's well aware of his attraction to women but his religious scruples (he's aiming to convert from knight to priest at some point) mean he refuses to act on it.

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.

=== Mythology ===
* Adonis of [[Greek Mythology]]. So handsome that two goddesses fell in love with him at first sight. Aphrodite took a shine to him when he was ''[[Squick|born]]'' and Persephone fell for him when he was about [[Shotacon|thirteen]]. It didn't end well for Adonis—when he eventually chose [[First Girl Wins|Aphrodite]], [[If I Can't Have You|a furious Persephone told]] Aphrodite's former lover [[Complete Monster|Ares]] about Aphrodite's new beau. Ares turned into a boar and attacked Adonis while he was out hunting. Since Ares is a jerk, he killed Adonis by [[Groin Attack|goring him in the crotch]].
* Diarmid O'Dyna of [[Celtic Mythology]] (who was Lancer in the aforementioned [[Fate/Zero]]) had this as an actual magical ability—any woman who looked at his face would instantly fall in love with him. One of these was a woman who caught sight of him at her own wedding party. Her husband-to-be [[Murder the Hypotenuse|didn't take it very well]].
=== [[Professional Wrestling]] ===
* The Miz in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] used to call himself a Chick Magnet, to the point where one of his [[Merchandise-Driven|T-shirts]] includes a chick (read: baby bird) being drawn to a horseshoe red-and-white magnet, just in case [[Viewers are Morons|some people]] didn't get the gist of his gimmick.
** It's probably more because Miz's character is basically that he is a massive tool, so he'd be the sort to provide an illustration of the concept.
* [[Daniel Bryan]] seems to be this in WWE, drawing the WWE Divas to him without even trying (or acting upon it). In one instance, he's got the Bella twins hanging on each arm.
=== Video Games ===
* Ludwig von Koopa. And, very, very likely, most popular Koopaling. Of all the Koopalings, he's the one with the girls chasing after him. Everybody loves his deep voice in New Super Mario Bros Wii.

*** Telma the barkeeper also frequently flirted with him, despite being at least twice his age.
**** Of course, it's implied that Telma flirts with ''lots'' of men; in particular, during her tenure in Kakariko, she makes advances on Renado (who quickly becomes uncomfortable around her).
** [[Word of God]] is that in OOT Navi was in love with Link making almost every major female in the game, if not every, have romantic subtext with him.
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

** Tatsuya from ''[[Persona 2]]'' is explicitly shown to be a chick magnet. Almost all the female cast wants him, major or minor characters. Heck, even some of the guys want him.
** Souji/Yu of ''[[
* The Prince of Falena, in ''[[Suikoden V]]''. Several characters and NPCs [[Lampshade Hanging|comment on the large number of attractive women in his army]], to the point of it being a [[Running Gag]]. The more lecherous characters seem almost offended that he never takes advantage of the situation, or even seems to notice.
** In ''[[Suikoden IV]]'', the hero also recruits an awful lot of women, and at least two cliques of three get together to gush and giggle over him. One of said cliques even declares themselves his personal bodyguards.
* Despite being a mecha [[Otaku]] with no knowledge on romance with women nor interest in them, Ryusei Date from ''[[Super Robot Wars]] OG'' has manage to make no less than three girls seriously fall for him. This is considerably more than most other characters with the exception of Masaki, who is himself a
* Clank, Ratchet's [[Robot Buddy]] from the ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' series has a strange habit of attracting various women, both robotic and organic. This starts with Edwina the RoboShack owner and the HelpDesk Girl in the first game, then a pink robot fangirl spends the next game chasing him over the galaxy in the next game, then in the third game, he gets to play a James bond-esque secret agent surrounded by adoring women, has pop star seductress Courtney Gears move in on him, in the fourth game, he begins a relationship with a robot called Venus (who is never seen again), in the Secret Agent Clank spinoff, all women in the game are in love with him. Meanwhile, the only definite love interest Ratchet has ever had is Sasha (Talwyn from the Future series seems to be on her way to becoming one, too, though).
* [[My Hero Zero|Zero]] from ''[[
* [[Mega Man Legends
* Despite his nerdiness, occasionally [[Monkey Island|Guybrush Threepwood]] falls into this. Elaine seems to initially fall for him just after hearing his name from the lookout. The {{spoiler|ghost bride in the Goodsoup crypt}} starts coming onto him immediately (granted, she's been waiting a LONG time for a man).

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' plays with the trope in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120830045308/http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=020412 this strip from 2002].
* El Chupacabre (better known as "Chuy") in the webcomic ''[http://www.go-girly.com Girly]'', who initially is under the mistaken impression that he is using his powers for good. Unfortunately, he's also a sort of unintentional [[Kavorka Man]], and his [[Heel Face Turn]] is complicated by the fact that, no matter what he does, any woman he gets near develops a sudden and overpowering attraction to him. And let's not even ''start'' on [[Freaky Friday|what happened when everyone got shuffled into different bodies and his girlfriend got his, mojo and all]].
* In ''[[Least I Could Do]]'', Rayne Summers is able to seduce virtually any and every girl he meets.
** Well, I don't know about ''that''. Check out [[Informed Ability]] on the LICD article.
* From ''[[Funny Farm]]'', Flink's ability to turn women (and gay men) on is inexplicable, given that he's an [[Kavorka Man|anthropomorphic pig]]. Furthermore, he's not doing anything other than standing there and talking (or just standing), and most of the time doesn't think anything of the fact that they're hanging off him. He's [[The Fool]], but he also might be the first truly asexual
* Tip in ''[[Skin Horse]]'' even when he's [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=40132 transformed into a different species]

* [[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Disney's Peter Pan]] has Tinker Bell, Wendy, Tiger Lily and a gang of mermaids all over him and easily jealous.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' has [[The Leader|Nigel/Numbuh One]] being an "in-training" chick magnet, with Lizzie, Rachel/Numbuh 362 and {{spoiler|[[Cargo Ship|his own tree house]]}} being into him.
** Gender-flipped version: [[The Ditz|Kuki/Numbuh Three]] has shown to attract a lot of guys. Much to [[Crazy Jealous Guy|Wally/Numbuh 4]]'s irritation.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has two such characters. Sokka has had four girls swooning during the series, only liking two of them back {{spoiler|(the first didn't end well)}}, and not even being aware of one. Zuko is also in a relationship, but this doesn't stop him from attracting two girls he has met, plus a few additional ones when he [[Shirtless Scene|went shirtless]].
* [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' episode "A Leaf in the Wind" introduces young [[Fictional Sport|pro-bender]] Bolin, who has "crazy [[Fan Girl|fangirls]]." As his team enters the arena, one can be heard in the audience screaming his name.
* The Flash in the final season of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. Once he stopped hitting on practically anything that moved, girls seemed to really start going for him. Resulting in him being [[Crowning Moment of Funny|awkwardly flustered by the attention of at least one superheroine]]. He even accidentally seduced a supervillainess while in [[Freaky Friday|someone else's body.]]
* Lance from [[Sym
* Despite being a [[Handsome Lech]], [[Looney Tunes|Pepe LePew]] typically sent the female cats he fell in love with running for the hills, partly because of his skunk smell and partly because he just comes on too damn strong. On the other hand, when his odor is neutralized (on one occasion, the female cat's nose became clogged after an allergic reaction, which made her lose her sense of smell) or he gets black paint on his back which covers his white stripe (the female cats typically have white stripes painted on their backs, which makes them look like skunks), the female cats fall head-over-heels in love with him and the whole formula is [[Gender Flip|gender flipped]] as they fall madly in love with Pepe and begin chasing him.

=== 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 [[Astroturf|actresses paid by his publicist]] to hype up his image before he was really famous.
** 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.
* Another example is [[wikipedia:Richard Sterban|Richard Sterban]], he even shows it off near the end of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a-KpGauwN0&feature=channel this video], of course [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vghIPtvCFRs his voice] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mo6UkNZcX0&feature=channel helps too].

* The title character of ''[[Miyuki-chan in Wonderland]]'' attracts the attention of <s>all the girls</s> everyone in the worlds she stumbles in, since they're all inhabited by girls only.
* Haruhi Fujioka from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' is probably one of the only heterosexual girls who's still a genuine Chick Magnet, given her... [[Wholesome Crossdresser|unique circumstances]].
* Shizuma from the [[Girls Love]] series ''[[Strawberry Panic!]]'' Naturally, there are absolutely no men in sight, but that's just okay with her.
* The whole of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''{{'}}s Tomobiki High School knows that Ryuunousuke's rather delusional father insists on making a man out of her, and she ''still'' gets more love letters than any guy on campus.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': It was only a two-chapter interlude, but the whole Cinema Village incident proved that Sakurazaki Setsuna + [[Samurai]] Costume = [[Squee]]!!!!
** Yue has a claim to the title too. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v32/c286/5.html "...she seems to attract girls left and right and drive them all to tears..."]
* While neither of the two protagonists in ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]'' have love interests hanging off them due to their [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]], Honoka is noted to get love letters from boys all the time. More relevantly, poor Nagisa is chagrined that she gets them from the ''girls'' all the time.

* Momo from ''[[Peach Girl]]'' has about four guys after her at one time or another.
* Like her brother, Natusumi Hinata of ''[[Keroro Gunso]]'' has quite a following. Only it seems to be of the same gender. From her swooning all girl fanclub at school, to [[Ninja|Koyuki]], she's a real draw for chicks. The only male that seems to have any interest in her, is Giroro.

* [[Marvel Star Wars|Zeltrons]] are [http://images.plurk.com/7b4dada705f4bfbf1b0c332da452b38d.jpg drawn to] Leia Organa just as they are to her brother, and for the same reasons - she's heroic, famous, and Force-Sensitive.
=== Film ===
* The entire plot of ''[[There's Something About Mary]]'' was based on the titular character being one of these.
** Although she tended to attract a [[Stalker with a Crush|particular type]] of man.
* In ''Chicago'', Roxie Hart imagines herself as a [[Dude Magnet]] (and a Marriage Proposal Magnet) in her "I'll be a star and boy will it be swell" song.
=== Literature ===
* Bella Swan of ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' fame. Apparently even her science teacher fancies her.
* Raven of ''[[Vampire Kisses]]'' has three guys after her at one time or another, the guys being Trevor, Jagger, and Alexander.
=== Live-Action TV ===
* Fred was a bit like this in ''[[Angel]]''. It took her forever to notice that both Gunn and Wesley liked her, plus [[Amy Acker]] apparently got quite a lot of attention on set as well.

* In one episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', "The Window", Ted recalls his longtime crush Maggie whom he never got to date because, as he describes her, she is "catnip for men".
=== Video Games ===
* Asellus of ''[[SaGa Frontier]]'' is a rare video game example of this (still attracting girls, not guys, mind you), and there's a in-story reason for it to boot. She has {{spoiler|the blood of the Charm Lord in her, which makes her half-mystic, but also gives her the Charm Lord's Innate abilities of seduction and attraction to females.}} If you see the [[Easter Egg]], you'll understand more.
* Pamela from ''[[Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis]]''. She's a ''very'' [[Moe]], '''''very''''' [[Cute Ghost Girl]]. The ghost part doesn't deter guys (even the ''principal''!) from courting her.
* Male [[Mass Effect|Commander Shepard]] (see above) is almost matched by his female counterpart, who gets [[Good-Looking Privates|Lt Kaiden Alenko]], [[Nice Guy|Jacob Taylor]], [[Troubled but Cute|Thane Krios]] and [[Cowboy Cop|Garrus Vakarian]]. Also [[Bi the Way|Liara, Morinth and Shiala]], but I'm not sure if that counts for this trope.
** [[Bi the Way|Kelly]] doesn't let something like gender bother her.
** Kelly doesn't let [[Interspecies Romance|anything bother her]].
* The [[Distaff Counterpart|female protagonist]] of [[Updated Rerelease|Persona 3 Portable]] counts as a Dude Magnet. Junpei (the only male in SEES [[Platonic Life Partners|she cannot have a romantic relationship with]]) notes that a number of guys he talks to are interested in her. At least two of her Social Links develop feelings for her, although she can't have a relationship with them, another one calls her beautiful, and she is able to (optionally. As noted above, the game developers have realized that it ''is'' possible for boys and girls to just be friends) romance Akihiko (himself a Chick Magnet), [[The Cutie|Ken]], Ryoji {{spoiler|who eventually turns out to be an unwilling [[Big Bad]]}}, and Shinjiro {{spoiler|who is implied to have fallen for her whether the player chooses to become lovers with him or not}}. Then there's Theo...
==== Visual Novels ====
* Osanai Shouko from [[Girls Love]] [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Aoi Shiro]]'' attracts a lot of [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|girls]] {{spoiler|up to having something dangerously close to [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]] sex}}. The fact that she's an extremely charming [[Sempai]] doesn't help, though it's more obvious when the story is related from other characters' point of view.
** It's more [[Justified Trope|justified]] in case of [[Akai Ito|Hatou Kei]]: she is [[Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious]], so a lot of characters want her as food. Most of them settles somewhere between treating her as blood dispenser and [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|lover]].

=== Web Original ===
* Thunderbird, in the [[Whateley Universe]]. He's gotten all the way into his sophomore year at [[Super-Hero School|Whateley Academy]] without noticing that all the girls on his training team, that girl who is always on his case about something, and that girl he thinks of as a 'little sister' are all crushing on him. Now he has Chaka after him too.
* [[Obscurus Lupa]] fends off the advances of [[Todd in the Shadows]] and Stickman from "[[What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?]]," in addition to [[Suburban Knights|Angry Joe calling her hot, Sage and the Nostalgia Critic offering to kiss her]], [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] implying that he wants to make out with her, [[Atop the Fourth Wall|90s Kid]] outright saying he wants to make out with her and [[Diamanda Hagan]] being [[It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context|pregnant with Lupa's baby]]. The Linkara bit has Lupa ask "[[Lampshade Hanging|Why is everyone in love with me?]]" Parodied in a [["Previously On..."]] segment on "[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]" (in fact, the same one with Diamanda) where Welshy laments that "she got another one. Film Brain is now in love with Obscurus Lupa."
* In ''[[SCP Foundation]]'', the original version of SCP-166 (aka "the Teen Succubus") had some sort of supernatural ability to cause any man who saw her to fall madly in love and chase after her, possibly with the intent to commit rape, although this effect only lasted as long as they could see her. Unfortunately, SCP-166 - a [[Nice Girl]] raised in a convent - had no control over this power. Clearly, she was "contained" for her own protection.
