Line 18:
See [[Mr. Fanservice]] for the guy designed to be a magnet for chicks in the real world. Don't forget [[Clueless Chick Magnet]], when the [[Chick Magnet]] doesn't even notice. And [[The Charmer]], who is seen as charismatic by others.
{{examples
'''Male'''
Line 47:
* Rito of ''[[To Love Ru (Manga)|To Love Ru]]'' has so many girls after him, a good majority of which are royalty, that one of the girls has decided that it would be much simpler if he just married all of them. [[Genre Savvy|It might also be due to the fact that she knows she can't win without the]] [[Tenchi Solution]]
* Takuya Enoki from ''Aka-chan to Boku'' ''([[Baby and Me (Manga)|Baby and Me]])'' is this to a lot of girls. When he finds out that several girls are in love with him he almost has a mental breakdown. It appears to run in the family; his widower father Harumi has several coworkers who crush on him, and two little girls at the daycare fight over Takuya's little brother Minoru.
* ''[[Jo
** 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.
** Jotaro, Josuke and Giorno all have a crowd of girls begging for their attention near their introductions; Jotaro and Giorno are too cool to dopily embrace it unlike Harem protagonists.
* Hakuoh, [[White
* ''[[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 humans -- one of the three girls is a [[Cute Ghost Girl|ghost]]. Nekoyashiki began to muse aloud when {{spoiler|a ''homunculus''}} joined the ranks of female admirers.
Line 60:
** [[The Hero|Kyu/Q]] [[Ho Yay|blushed]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|when he first saw him]].
* In ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'', several popular players have their own fanclubs; some of those are Echizen (though Tomoka and Sakuno are the only fangirls seen often), Oishi (in the anime, and much to his discomfort), Keigo Atobe (''of course'') and Hiroshi Wakato from Jyousei Shonan (who also *adores* the attention from the ladies) .
* Yuta from ''[[Mermaid Saga]]'', though played in a much more serious and tragic tone than any of the above, as Yuta knows any relationship he gets into will [[Mayfly
* Lelouch from ''[[Code Geass]]''; even if you ignore his [[Unwanted Harem]] full of the usual suspects, [[Word of God]] says that a vast majority of the female populace at his [[Elaborate University High]] has a thing for him, and that he might even have his own fan club - and all this is ''before'' his [[Ninja Maid]] sets him up with [[
** Interestingly enough, despite the fan club and [[
* 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...
* ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''
Line 84:
* 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 ''[[Angel Densetsu (Manga)|Angel Densetsu]]'' manages to get 3 girls hitting on him despite being a [[Nightmare Fuel
* 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]].
Line 91:
* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' has Kira Yamato. His best friend Athrun Zala becomes a more perfect example in [[Gundam Seed Destiny|the sequel]].
* By the end of ''[[Girls Bravo (Manga)|Girls Bravo]]'' the male lead Yukinari has about four girls after him, or who expressed interest in him at one time or another.
* 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.
* Where's ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'''s Ash Ketchum in all of this? Shipping aside, many girls (human ''and'' [[Interspecies Romance|Pokémon]]) have developed feelings for Ash and he's too clueless to notice any of them.
* 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.
Line 137:
* Former Robin and current 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 As Friends]]), and possibly Cassandra Cain (she wasn't really herself at the time, being drugged up and crazy) have all been attracted to Tim at one time or another. Even Lady Shiva was a bit too touchy-feely with him when they first met than was really necessary.
* [[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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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
** [[Superboy|Conner Kent]] has attracted Supergirl, [[New Gods|Knockout]], Tana Moon, Roxy Leech, Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark) and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). Chris Kent was dating Thara Ak-Var, and girls chased him wherever he went. Like father, like sons.
* [[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...
Line 168:
* Holger Carlsen, the displaced-to-a-magical-world hero of [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''[[Three Hearts and Three Lions]]'', is bemused to find himself the object of eager affection from [[King Arthur|Morgan le Fay]], an Elven enchantress, and a wholesome [[Animorphism|Swan May]]. Apparently he never had this much success with women in our world, which the narrator attributes to his having too much concern about hurting their feelings. Note that this is at least partly due to {{spoiler|a pair of enchantments placed on him at birth by [[The Fair Folk]]: to have the "gift of pleasing" ''and'' the "sensibility to return the affection he inspires."}}
* [[Star Wars|Luke Skywalker]], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker#Romances oh so very much]. He does get [[Heroes Want Redheads|lucky]] after something like 15+ years, but... (note: this example only applies to the [[Expanded Universe]], hence why it's in Literature instead of Film)
** Oh, Luke gets lucky. [[The Black Fleet Crisis|Akanah]] and [[The Callista Trilogy|Callista]] having sex with Luke is canon, and it's heavily implied [[The Courtship of Princess Leia|Teneniel]] raped him. [[Dark Empire|Jem]], the jury's still out on - they fell in love, but she was [[Women in Refrigerators|stuffed into the fridge]] almost immediately. I will say that Mon Mothma was confident in Luke's [[Is That What
** Let's not forget [[Even the Guys Want Him|Isolder]] and [[The New Rebellion|Brakiss]]. And the entire [[Planet of Hats|Zeltron species]] wanted a piece of Jedi.
*** [[Marvel Star Wars|Zeltrons]] welcome ''everyone'' with great enthusiasm - their culture's rules are [[Ethical Slut|love everyone, have fun,]] [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others|and if you have to kill, do it quickly and cleanly]]. But they are ''incredibly'' attracted to Luke Skywalker. They're a species of [[The Empath|empaths]], and the combination of his [[The Hero|pureheartedness]], [[Famed in Story|fame]], and the sheer, intoxicatingly sensual power of the Force in him makes them [http://images.plurk.com/959ed025cc50e8c9971fd072fb0c540b.jpg flock] and [http://images.plurk.com/87286a795d18e3df063394ab3c9948a0.jpg swarm] to him, males and females both. They welcome nearly anyone with great enthusiasm, sure, but ''especially'' him.
Line 231:
== Professional Wrestling ==
* [[Professional Wrestling|The Miz]] in the [[WWE]] used to call himself a Chick Magnet, to the point where one of his [[Merchandise
** 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.
Line 240:
* [[Mario]] in the [[Paper Mario (Video Game)|Paper Mario]] games is treated as such.
* Many protagonists of [[RPG|RPGs]], in particular the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series, display this trope, with half of the female cast falling for them on sight. ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'' plays with this by casting a childlike wannabe ladies' man as the ''protagonist''.
* Link isn't usually a [[Chick Magnet]] in the ''Zelda'' games, with his primary love interest ([[No Hugging, No Kissing|if that]]) being the eponymous princess, but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', he had a good number of other possible love interests besides Zelda: Malon, farm girl at Lon Lon Ranch who was apparently created as an [[Expy]] of Marin from ''[[The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening]]''; Saria, who was Link's childhood friend and first major love interest, but who, in one of the game's sadder twists, [[Never Grew Up|couldn't grow up along with him because she's a Kokiri and Link was a Hylian]]; The Zora Princess Ruto, who Link had to agree to marry in exchange for the third major Spiritual Stone, and who freaked him out when she tried to hold him to that promise seven years later; and possibly Nabooru, though we never did get to find out what the "something good" was that she promised Link (though we do have our theories). There's [[Even the Guys Want Him|even a male character]] than unabashedly hits on him. The only major good-guy female character who ''didn't'' express some form of affection toward him was Impa (And maybe Zelda herself, but that's a whole other can of worms), who was mainly concerned about Zelda's welfare and was more of a mentor figure than anything else.
** Made utterly hilarious when you consider the fact that Link is essentially a 10 year old in a 17 year old's body.
** And, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', not only does he get Midna and Ilia, but the girl who runs the fishing hole seemed to have a definite thing for him. Then there's the group of fangirls he gains by making it through the clawshot minigame in Hyrule Town. Not bad for a [[Heroic Mime]].
*** Talking to a certain chicken as a wolf in Ordon reveals that even ''[[But You Screw One Goat!|animals]]'' have a thing for Link. There is truly no escape.
*** 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 (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' Zelda is strongly implied to be in love with Link.
*** The Item Check girl also falls head over heels for him. You can choose to go along with it or let her down (even sadder is that you're literally the only guy who ever talks to her, as no one else uses the Item Check).
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] is somewhat portrayed this way in the games. He even got a ''[[Squick|human]]'' character to fall in love with him. However, this isn't to the extent of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Book)|Archie Comics]].
Line 262:
* 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 X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'' and ''[[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Zero]]'' had 3 girls who had been attracted to him. One became his [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die|tragic]] girlfriend, while another had the unfortunate luck of meeting Zero when he's ''both'' [[Chaste Hero|chaste]] ''and'' [[Celibate Hero|celibate]] at the same time. As for the third, ''[[Interspecies Romance|Ciel's human]]''.
* [[Mega Man Legends (Video Game)|Mega Man Volnutt]] may currently have the highscore for this series. There's Roll Casket his [[Like Brother and Sister|foster sister]], [[Just Friends|best friend]], and [[Wrench Wench|mechanic]]. Tron Bonne, the [[Dating Catwoman|cute girl]] of his [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|overzealous]] [[Tsundere|off and on]] [[Rousseau Was Right|enemies of circumstance]]. Yuna, a [[The Tease|flirt]] [[Body Surf|temporarily controlling]] [[Squick|Roll's mother]]. Sera a [[Dark
* 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). He's oblivious that {{spoiler|Morgan}} seems to have feelings for him beyond typical fangirlishness. And the Vacaylian merfolk practically throw themselves at him...{{spoiler|to his extreme discomfort, as [[Ambiguous Gender|he can't tell]] ''[[Ambiguous Gender|what]]'' [[Ambiguous Gender|gender they are]]}}.
* Miles Edgeworth in ''[[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Ace Attorney]]'', according to Gumshoe. His response to this is one of shock: ''"D-do I really inspire that sort of frothing desire in the female masses?!"''
Line 333:
* Trent, Justin and Alejandro from the ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama series]]''.
* While any crushes in ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' are only hinted at, geeky guy Arnold seems to get [[Ship Tease|Ship Teased]] with other female characters the most. There's been teasing between him and the following girls: Phoebe, Wanda, Dorothy Ann, and a one-shot character named Tiffany.
* A lot of princesses from ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'' have shown romantic interest in [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|Finn]]. Not very lucky for him, since he's [[The Last of His Kind]] and all of the girls are either dogs, elephants, slugs, cloud-like lumps, etc. The only [[Half
* Rex from ''[[Generator Rex]]'' has so far attracted the attention of at least four girls that were signififcant to the plot in one way or another.
* [[Ben 10 (Animation)|Max Tennyson]]. Bonus points in that at least two of 'em (Xylene and Verdona, the latter of whom is Ben and Gwen's grandmother) were ''[[Green
* Bob from ''[[Re Boot]]''. He attracts Dot, Mouse, and Hexadecimal along with other minor female characters.
* Apparently, Big Macintosh from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.
* Droopy, in Tom and Jerry kids and Droopy Master Detective, even his son describes him as a "Babe Magnet". In fact he always manages to conquer the beautiful Miss Vavoom on her various incarnations, even at first sight, [[Love Makes You Crazy|getting usually kisses that give him explosive reactions]].
Line 360:
* ''[[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
** Not entirely true. Nagisa had a very strong crush on Honoka's good friend Fuji P., while Honoka herself was in love with [[The Mole]], Kiriya, who ended up {{spoiler|dying, being reborn and presumably loosing his memory in the process.}}
* [[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hinagiku]] should be here. Apparently ''[[Even the Girls Want Her|everyone]]'' in the school likes her. Lampshaded several times, and once by the title of a chapter, "Are you a magnet or something?"
* Yuria, Kenshiro's one true love from ''[[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|Fist of the North Star]]'', is sought after by a significant portion of the cast for one reason or another; most memorably by [[Rival Turned Evil|Shin]], but even big scary [[Noble Demon|Raoh]] fell for her ''hard.''
* ''[[Ranma
** Akane Tendo is wanted by Ranma, Ryoga, Kuno, ''the entire school'', etc. It isn't until it's confirmed that Ranma is Akane's fiancée that the school gives up on trying to woo her.
** Also, [[Gender Bender|Ranma's]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|female form]]. Those who don't know she is a he pursue her. Those who do openly ogle.
