Chivalrous Pervert: Difference between revisions

Such a serious [['''Chivalrous Pervert]]''' is very likely to also be a male [[Ethical Slut]] with a benevolent [[For Happiness]] morality. However, it could also be that some part of him might also believe that [[Sex Is Evil]] and make him feel guilty about his "immoral" [[Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny|hornyness]] and [[Averted Trope|overcompensate for it]] by being extra nice. Or his hypersexuality could be an outlet for more complex personal issues, often making him [[The Woobie]].

Compare [[Handsome Lech]], whose morals are a bit more loose but not as much as the villainous perv; [[Covert Pervert]], who is also sympathetic but in no way vocal about his/her... tastes; and [[Loveable Sex Maniac]], who fulfills the latter half of this page's title but most certainly not the former. A [['''Chivalrous Pervert]]''' who prefers to spy on those of his preferred gender may be [[The Peeping Tom]]. Also compare his [[Distaff Counterpart]], the [[Good Bad Girl]]. May end up setting a girl to [[Pervert Revenge Mode]] or even an [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]]

{{examples|Examples:}}

== [[Anime]] &and [[Manga]] ==

* Masaomi Kida and Chikage Rokujo from ''[[Durarara!!]]''.

* Hachibe Maeda of ''[[Ai Kora (Manga)|Ai Kora]]'' is a strange case. While admittedly an individual who values women for the aesthetic appeal of their various body parts, he is willing to go to extreme lengths to protect the owners of those parts.

* Jenos from ''[[Black Cat (Mangamanga)|Black Cat]]''.

* Shunsui Kyoraku from ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'' loves flirting with his lieutenant, [[Hot Librarian]] Nanao, and was known for chasing girls when he was in the shinigami academy. He promptly rescues Nanao when she collapses after Yamamoto sends out his ''enormous'' reiatsu and it overwhelms her. He's also a very [[Badass]] captain who first tries to convince his rivals to give up on their purposes ''and'' [[Martial Pacifist|only accepts to fight so he won't disgrace his opponents]].

* Youhei Sunohara from ''[[Clannad (Visualvisual Novelnovel)|Clannad]]''.

* The deceased Prince Clovis la Britannia from ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]''. You'd never guess it if not for the 6th [[Picture Drama]], though: it has his half-sisters, Cornelia and Euphemia, checking on some stuff he left... and [[Big Brother Instinct|Cornelia]] frets over the sweet and naive Euphemia being willing to wear one ''very'' revealing swimsuit that Clovis designed in his free time.

* Shoei Jinnai of ''[[Desire Climax]]'' evolves into one of these throughout the [[Story Arc]], albeit most certainly starting off as a bit of an [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]] with Mio Omori.

* Hideki from ''[[Chobits (Manga)|Chobits]]''. Make no mistake, he is a underwear-ogling porn addict, but would never take advantage of Chi in that way. [[Berserk Button|And heaven help you if you do]].

* Emishi Haruki from ''[[Get BackersGetBackers]]''. He considers harming a woman to be just about the most terrible sin imaginable, and opponents admitting to it is nearly a [[Berserk Button]]; meanwhile, he happily flirts with every woman he meets. The closest he's come to 'pervert' was abruptly burying his face in a female friend's breasts, while desperately trying to cheer himself up {{spoiler|after Amon's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.

* Meisuke "Nube" Nueno from ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]'' is a [[Covert Pervert]] for his busty workmate Ritsuko and more or less often ogles pretty women, but never ever tried to ogle his students no matter [[Huge Schoolgirl|how well-endowed]] [[Artistic Age|some of them are]] (* cough* Miki * cough* Ai), and lectured highschool-aged Izuna harshly when he believed she was into [[Enjo Kosai]] (Iwhich is the Japanese equivalent of teen prostitution, to say it simply). And when a very pretty 15-years-old girl [[An Ice Person|with ice powers]] claims to be in love with him, he repeatedly refuses her affections by saying that she's too young for him - which is technically true, [[May DecemberMay–December Romance|as he's 26 already]]. {{spoiler|She has to die and then be revived before he comes to love her back}}

** More or less confirmed in a rather early arc where a young woman named Koharu, [[I Owe You My Life|whose life he saved years ago]], was very enamoured with him. Miroku actually ''turned her affections down'', believing it was a case of [[Loving a Shadow]].

* Sanji from ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''. He gained one of those "actually bad" rivals recently in the form of Absalom, a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] member who can turn invisible and who licked both the female protagonists and attacked Nami when she was bathing. That ended ''very badly'' for Absalom.

* PG-rated version: Brock from ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]''.

* Warrant Officer Oreldo in ''[[Pumpkin Scissors]]'' embraces the trope completely. He loves the ladies, and unlike many similar characters, he enjoys quite a bit of success with them. He's also always willing to get the crap beaten out of him for the sake of some cute girl he's just met, and frequently sets himself up as the bad guy in order to make sure things are made right for the girl of the moment -- suchmoment—such as when, angered by how a poor girl's drug-addicted father was wasting her money and opportunities, he made a show of offering to buy her from him and then pretended to assault her in order to finally goad her father into taking action on her behalf.

* [[Deadpan Snarker|Kyon]] from the ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' franchise may count, even though he rarely has actually needed to avenge the dishonor of a beautiful lady -- butlady—but push the [[Big Brother Instinct|right]] [[Berserk Button|buttons]] and he'll defend.

* Tatewaki Kuno from ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' has some traits of this. He is well-versed in poetry and believes two people in a relationship should exchange diaries before they get physical. On the other hand he grabs his objects of affection without warning, sometimes on the chest, and is unable to realize they are in fact disgusted by his attention.

*** To the contrary "Jiraiya the Gallant" (as his mythological inspiration was also known) was the epitome of this trope. "Gallant" means "(of a man or his behavior) giving special attention and respect to women; chivalrous." He was always protective and respectful of any women under his supervision, as shown in all his dealings with Konan.

* Roybea Roy from ''[[After War Gundam X (Anime)|Gundam X]]''. One episode has him buying swimsuits for the crew girls after checking their measurements ''by mere sight'', another has him visiting each one of his old girlfriends to see how are they holding up (including a [[Ill Girl]] whom he buys medicines for {{spoiler|and the tombstone of the woman who actually gave him his Gundam}}). He also {{spoiler|is very upset when one of his lovers, [[Femme Fatale]] Yurina, is shot to death, and very gracefully accepts Sala Tyrrell's apologies and definitive rejection of his affections.}}

* ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]'': (Anime)|Chibodee Crocket]] is a bit of a flirt and loves teasing Rain, but when needed he's extremely protective of her and the [[Four -Girl Ensemble]] that forms his crew.

* Yasunobu Hattori of ''[[Suzuka]]'' fits this trope. While he is a pervert and generally thinking lewd thoughts, his advice to [[What an Idiot!|protagonist Yamato Akitsuki]] would have saved everyone in the show a lot of trouble.

* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]''{{'}}s Battler Ushiromiya serially gropes every girl he sees, particularly odd because many of those girls are his [[Kissing Cousins|cousins]]. However, when [[Shrinking Violet|Shannon]] actually appears to be about to let him grope her, Battler freaks out and scolds her not to do that.

** Rudolf, his [[Like Father, Like Son|father]], is also somewhat on this territory, although he also has an unfortunate tendency to [[Handsome Lech|cheat on his wife]].

* [[Deconstructed]] in ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' with Kudou Yoji. He's both shamelessly flirtatious toward and protective of women - at one point proclaiming that "woman's enemy is my enemy" - but he's also an assassin and male [[Honey Trap]], and any woman he makes any kind of emotional connection with is inevitably either a target he is using for information, a target who's trying to use ''him'' for information, or just plain [[Cartwright Curse|doomed to become a statistic]]. By sequel series ''[[Weiss Kreuz]] Gluhen,'' the emotional toll on Yoji has become so bad that he's developed habits like talking to his dead girlfriend on the phone and unconsciously throttling his partners during sex, and he nearly pulls a [[Face Heel Turn]] in his desperation to forget about all of it. {{spoiler|He only recovers after a complete case of [[Victory -Guided Amnesia]] allows him to leave it all behind and marry the [[Hospital Hottie]] [[Florence Nightingale Effect|who takes care of him]].}}

* Saito in ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof (Light Novel)|Zero no Tsukaima]]'' (more on the chivalrous side in the [[Light Novel]] and more on the perverted side in the anime). He's attracted to pretty much his entire [[Unwanted Harem]], including [[Tsundere|his master Louise]], his maid Siesta, the flirty Kirche, [[Emotionless Girl|the quiet]] [[Sugar and Ice Personality|Tabitha]], [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|the naive Tiffania]] [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses|and even Princess Henrietta]]. Despite his perverted side, he never takes advantage of them even when given an opportunity. Not even when Louise becomes a lovey-dovey [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] under effect of a [[Love Potion]].

* ''[[Full Metal Panic|!]]'': Kurz Weber]]. Best summed up in his fight at the end of the first season, in which he rejects a [[We Can Rule Together]] speech by suggesting a counterstrategy: "I'll kill you, ask Tessa for a picture of her in her swimsuit as a reward, and sell copies to everyone on the ship for $20 apiece." Shortly afterward, when Melissa Mao turns up in nothing but her underwear to save him and then passes out, his only reaction is to sit dolefully next to her and lament that he doesn't have a camera. He also tends to use his reputation as a pervert to distract others and avoid conversations he doesn't care for.

* Yugi. You know, from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. In the manga he has lots of fantasies involving pretty girls, and specially about Anzu, but he doesn't act on them and is otherwise a really sweet [[Nice Guy]].

** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Our protagonist, ladies and gentlemen!]]''

* Sugisaki in ''[[SeitokaiStudent noCouncil's IchizonDiscretion]]''. Very strong on the pervert end of the scale as his declared goal is to turn the student council into his harem and compares them to a dating sim, where after finishing Chizuru's route he would get the Best Harem End. That way (insert noble pose) everyone can be happy!

** Jack Rakan certainly likes "collecting" panties, much to the consternation and mortification of Fate Averruncus' [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|minions]]; and his comments to Nagi about the latter's aforementioned beau leaves little doubt that his mind has already hurled itself through the proverbial gutter. He never quite crosses beyond those boundaries, however, and developed his infamous technique to defeat female opponents by [[Panty Thief|stealing their panties]] and [[Defeat Byby Modesty|flipping their skirts until they concede]] to gain the upper hand without directly hurting them.

* [[Moe Anthropomorphism|Greece]] from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', especially when compared to resident [[Lovable Sex Maniac]] France. He's known as #1 in the frequency of sex among nations and [[Naked People Are Funny|has even less problems with nudity]] than France does, but his overall personality is ''[[Nice Guy|very]]'' [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|different]] from France's. This becomes most obvious when he's shown with Japan: he's made one or two sexual advances towards him (which may or may not include actual sex), but most signs of his genuine affection for him are less centered on sex and actually pretty sweet (seriously, trying to speak Japanese? Taking all of Japan's snacks after the other nations ignore them? Being worried about his hair looking unkempt to Japan?).

** A subtler version is Prussia, who [[TedSmall BaxterName, Big Ego|might talk big about]] [[Badass|how fearless and awesome he is]], but freaks out at the sight of [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|a teen Hungary]]'s [[Clothing Damage|half-naked body]] and, once he realizes [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|she's a female]], [[Please Put Some Clothes On|he quickly hands her his cape for cover.]]

* Sakanami from ''[[Koe Dede Oshigoto!]]'' considers sexual harassment to be the ultimate compliment to a girl, but himself will never touch a woman unless she wants him to.

* Usui Takumi in ''[[Kaichou wa Maid Sama-sama]]'' delights in teasing Misaki, enough so that she habitually calls him a "perverted space alien." Aside from stealing a couple of kisses, however, he scrupulously refrains from actually taking advantage of her in any way. Most notable during the incident in which Misaki is hypnotized to behave as though drunk, and begins trying to take off her clothes - Usui rolls her up in a blanket so that she can't do anything she'd really regret later.

* ''[[Shoujo Kakumei Utena]]'' has two highly deconstructive examples:

** Touga Kiryuu. He seduces any girl he wants - sometimes three or four at a time -, but comes more than once comes to the aid of Utena, his sister Nanami and his friend Saionji. Yet not only does he pull a really cruel prank on {{spoiler|Nanami by making her believe they're [[Not Blood Siblings]], despite knowing she's crazy for him}}, but he {{spoiler|causes Utena to go into an [[Heroic BSOD]] by defeating her in a duel}}, and then {{spoiler|causes Saionji to be kicked out of Ohtori Academy}}.

** Akio Ohtori. During his seduction sequences, he appears to be a ''perfect'' gentleman but turns out to be {{spoiler|the [[Enemy Without]] of a selfless prince deity whose [[Barrier Maiden]] sister Anthy has to suffer for his inability to cope with being divine}}. Akio's seduction of {{spoiler|Utena (including taking her virginity)}} is presented by him as the gentlemanly thing to do - kissing her feet, making her feel like a lady, being the most polite guy ever. But it turns out {{spoiler|it's all a ruse to warp her into a very feminine and kind, yet also very passive bride for him to use in his cosmic plans, instead of her becoming an equally kind-hearted prince who could conquer him, and like he did to poor Anthy many years ago via [[Brother -Sister Incest|making her his lover]] and a sorta [[Honey Trap]] as the Rose Bride.}} The real kicker? {{spoiler|Deep down, Akio is '''still''' the good guy prince who consoled Utena when she was a child, showed her true nobility, and made her promise that she'd save Anthy.}} ... So anyway, after a while of all that, [[Yaoi Guys|Akio has sex with Touga]].

* Michel ([[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Michael? Mikhail?]]) Blanc of ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' is a textbook example. He eyes up and down all the pretty girls with his devilish charms, but he makes a clear effort to remember the names of those he only met for five seconds months ago, and ''will'' headlock suspected two-timing [[Jerkass|Jerk Asses]] who are setting up girls for a heartbreak. Gives decent relationship advice, too. {{spoiler|And ultimately sacrifices his life for Klan, the girl he loves.}}

* Ginei Morioka from ''[[Rosario to+ Vampire]]'' is incredibly perverted, and after his introduction, he's very blatant about it. However, he's very protective of his friends, and at one point he [[Taking the Bullet|shields them from a massive fireball]] when he's [[Lightning Bruiser|perfectly capable of dodging]]. Yet even in tense situations, he's quite lecherous. At one point, he [[Thanks for Thethe Mammary|grabs Kurumu's breast]] as his "reward" for rescuing them.

* Toshiki from ''[[Video Girl Ai (Manga)|Video Girl Len]]'' is an unrepentant, irresponsible, flirty [[Casanova]] who dates and dumps girls and constantly tries to peek on Len Momono to see her naked. He's also a loyal friend who hugs Hiromu and cries with him when he's heartbroken, {{spoiler|takes beatings from delinquents to save Hiromu and Ayumi, and when Len offers to have sex with him to see if her mission would be easier, he does '''not'' take her offer}}. Yeah, the guy may be a major pervert, but when his friends truly need him he's very much there for them, so it's no wonder that with all of his high libido he ''still'' was pure-hearted enough to see the Neo Gokuraku store.

* ''[[Magic Users Club (Anime)|Magic Users Club]]'': While Takeo may burst into perverted fantasies at the drop of a hat, he's very protective of his fellow club members, especially Sae, and tries his best to perform his duties as president without acting on his desires.

* ''[[Inukami (Anime)|Inukami!]]'': Keita, and those four Citizens of Darkness guys who he often share a jail cell with. They're peeping toms and panty thieves but that's as far as they go. They're the 'good' perverts that contrast the evil perversion of the [[Big Bad]], who likes undressing people and putting them in embarrasing cosplay.

== [[Comic Books]] ==

== [[Film]] ==

* James Lennox in ''[[Men With Brooms (Film)|Men Withwith Brooms]]'', the kind of classy guy who brings a "[[The Oldest Profession|"Rent-A-Girlfriend"]]" to athe funeral of a beloved friend, [[Above the Influence|refuses to take advantage of Amy]] when she makes a drunken rebound attempt at him. He even goes on to [[What the Hell, Hero?|berate Chris]] for unintentionally causing Amy to fall [[Off the Wagon]].

* ''[[Back to The Future|]]'': George McFly]].{{context}}

* Nicholas van Rijn of [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''[[Technic History]]''. If you are an attractive woman, expect to have him make constant references to your looks as well as many passes. But should danger appear, you couldn't have anyone better at your side.

* In the same mould, Heslet Quillan from [[James H. Schmitz]]'s ''[[Federation of the Hub]]'' takes instant advantage of the situation when the [[Naked People Are Funny|naked]] [[Action Girl]] falls into his arms--butarms—but never hesitates when a lady needs his help.

* [[Conan the Barbarian]]. Perhaps most notably in "[[TheXuthal Slitheringof Shadowthe (Literature)Dusk|The Slithering Shadow]]" where Conan is actually embarrassed at the way [[The Vamp]] [[The Glomp|glomped]] onto him, because his slave girl Natala is watching, even though "He was no more monogamous in his nature than the average soldier of fortune"

** On the issue of how much a fighter he is, it should be noted that his business card reads in full as "World's 2ndSecond Greatest Lover. Finest Swordsman. Outrageous Liar. Soldier of Fortune. Stepladders Repaired."

* [[John Ringo]]'s ''[[GhostPaladin (Literature)of Shadows|Ghost]]'' gives us a chivalrous ''rapist'' as the protagonist. Say it with me... [http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html OH JOHN RINGO NO].

{{quote| Without hesitation Fitz stepped forward and cracked Robin on the jaw with a straight punch which [[Non -Action Guy|probably hurt him more than its victim.]]<br />

Robin staggered backwards, looking shocked.<br />

* A favourite of [[Christopher Pike]]'s in his novels: the ''Final Friends'' series (Bubba); ''Monster'' (Kevin); ''[[Witch (Literature)|Witch]]'' (Randy); ''The Eternal Enemy'' (Ed).

* ''[[A Thread of Grace|]]'': Renzo Leoni]] has elements of this. His ability to play this role allows him to get close to the Nazis who are in charge of his area of Italy.

* Eon onin the ''[[Belisarius Series]]'' is rather like this. As a teenager he played around with the palace staff as well as his two concubines whom he was quite fond of. This was before he married. Interestingly when asked by the title character to play a role as a spectacularly abusive pervert for his cover in a covert op he is rather repulsed. Before Eon's coronation the elders of his kingdom question all the palace staff on his treatment of them on the assumption that this would indicate how he might treat his people.

* G'Kar from ''[[Babylon Five5]]'' after some [[Character Development]]. The ending of the series [[Fridge Logic|implies]] that his patience paid off.

*** The peeping "incident" was actually one full season before the end of the series and it happened on a White Star, not in Earth DomeEarthDome. His last appearance in the series in broadcast order implies he got to get jiggy with Lyta Alexander, who five years earlier had replied to his proposition with something along the lines of: not even if you were the last male in the Universe, and the salvation of the Universe dependent on it. Of course, in between she'd done some [[Boldly Coming]] with Kosh, at least in heavy subtext.

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Naomi'''}}: You're not even going to try and convince me? Most guys would.<br />

* Xander from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', though rarely with success.

** It should be noted that the one time he had any success with Buffy, his [[Love Interest]] in the early seasons, he turned her down because he realized that she was under the influence of magic.

* Joey from ''[[Friends (TV)|Friends]]'', at least when it comes to the members of his group of friends. He hits on them on numerous occasions and tries several ploys to either see them naked or see them kiss each other, but when everyone believes Phoebe's been in a porno movie, Joey is the only member of the gang who refuses to watch it. He also freaks out quite a bit when Rachel calls his bluff and actually offers to sleep with him.

* Jack Harkness, from ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]''. Forget ''ladies,'' he's after [[Anything That Moves|the population of every galaxy]]. He is ''introduced'' in ''Doctor Who'' ogling an endangered Rose Tyler's behind through a pair of binoculars. True to the "chivalrous" part, he immediately goes to rescue her. [[Refuge in Audacity|And slaps the other soldier coming to ask him what he was doing on the bum]], commenting that his was nice too. In a notable subversion of the trope, he's extremely committed when he's actually dating someone who's monogamous. He also refuses to do anyone with anyone else who's in a monogamous relationship -- althoughrelationship—although all his friends keep randomly kissing him.

* Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci from ''[[Quantum Leap]]''. Lost his virginity at an age where most boys were still putting lizards in girl's lunchboxes. "I have been absolutely in love with every woman I have ever slept with — at ''that'' moment in time." He's easily [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]] and takes advantage of being a [[Virtual Ghost]] to [[Power Perversion Potential|peep to his heart's content]]. But he never stopped loving his first wife who remarried when it looked like he was killed in Vietnam, and the only thing he won't do for a woman he's involved with is keep it in his pants. And the surest way to press his [[Berserk Button|button]] is to harm or belittle a woman. Don Juan needs to go knight this guy RFN.

* Napoleon Solo in ''[[The Man Fromfrom UNCLEU.N.C.L.E.]]''. Depending on the episode and writer, Solo tends to bounce between [[Casanova]], [[The Charmer]], [[Chivalrous Pervert]] and [[Handsome Lech]]. A ''lot''.

* Richard ''[[Castle]] '': Title character Richard Castle fits this to a T. [[The Charmer|He loves the ladies]] and will quite happily drop [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]]s like nobody's business, but in one episode he befriends a call girl who is helping them solve a case. {{spoiler|She comes to his house crying, with a black eye, and even when she tries to kiss him he refuses and insists on getting her medical attention.}}

* Tony, the Canteen Manager from the sitcom ''[[Dinner LadiesDinnerladies]]''.

* The anti-heroic Prince Justin Greystone from ''[[Wizards and Warriors (TV series)|Wizards and Warriors]]''. He occasionally tears himself away from his wine and women to reluctantly do something noble.

* Buck Wilmington from ''[[The Magnificent Seven (TV series)|The Magnificent Seven]]'' TV series. Hits on/sleeps with every woman he meets but treats them all with respect. He attributes this to the fact he was raised in a brothel but his mother taught him to treat every woman like a lady.

* Tristan, from ''[[All Creatures Great and Small (TV)|All Creatures Great and Small]]'', seemingly has a different nurse on his arm every week, but he also seems to treat them all beautifully.

* Tony DiNozzo from ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]''. He started out as a regular [[Casanova]], hitting on every skirt he could find, and even after six seasons of character development is still interested, but he would never even think of hurting a woman.

* James T. Kirk from ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series]]''.

* Jack Tripper from ''[[ThreesThree's Company]]''. He's had ''numerous'' [[Girl of the Week|Girls Of The Week]] and never passes an opportunity to get a kiss from either or both of his two female roommates, but he never actually goes any farther than that with his roommates and goes steady with his latest girlfriend in the series finale.

* Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce from ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]''. He sleeps around, but has a defined moral; he appreciates the company of women for their own sake; he is contrasted with actual perverts in the form of 50s-style chauvinists and out-and-out rapists, whom he opposes; he doesn't get along with the 50s masculine persona. Hawkeye falls in with almost every aspect listed in this entry.

* Sam Axe from ''[[Burn Notice]]''. He's certainly a [[Casanova]] and (for the first two seasons, at least) had a collection of sugar mamas, so we know he's appreciative of the ladies. But should you actually want to harm one? [[Beware the Nice Ones|Run]]. [[Obfuscating Stupidity|Just]] [[Badass|run]].

* Dean Winchester from ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''. He flirts with most of the women he meets, but when we see him with Cassie, we find out that he really loved her, but she didn't believe him when he told her what he did for a living, breaking his heart as she left. And he isn't exactly thrilled when he discovers that [[Ho Yay]] buddy Castiel plans to hand a girl named Anna (whom Dean had slept with) over to the angels.

* Don Draper of ''[[Mad Men]]'' is a [[Casanova]] ''par excellence'', to the point where it [[Your Cheating Heart|costs him his marriage]] (combined with his pathological addiction to lying). However, he has serious problems with other men being crude and creepy around women (whatever he might be, he is never crude or creepy), particularly in the office; as he [[Lampshade Hanging|says to Peggy]], "I have rules" about this sort of thing. When he breaks these rules and drunkenly seduces his secretary Allison in Season 4, [[OOC Is Serious Business|it's used as an indication of how far he has fallen]].

* Damien Scott of ''[[Strike Back]]'' is a regular [[Casanova]] but is usually honest with the women he sleeps with or at least as honest as being a secret government operative allows him to. When he is held captive together with a female hostage he quickly seduces her. However, once they are rescued he declines to have sex with her because he realizes that it would be taking advantage of her vulnerable emotional state.

* Jimmy Hopkins from ''[[Bully (Videovideo Gamegame)|Bully]]'', while he can be a [[Jerkass]] and a [[Kavorka Man|player]], he is always kind when it comes to a ''truly'' distraught woman. Maybe his motives are questionable, but still, he's a good person deep down.

* In ''[[Star Fox (Video Gameseries)|Star FoxFOX]]'', Panther Caroso may be [[The Casanova]], but he still cares about who he woos, making him this.

* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] III: Morrowind]]'' has Crassius Curio, a quest-giver and high-ranking member of House Hlaalu. Insists on calling the PC things like "dumpling" or "pumpkin pie," [[Anything That Moves|no matter the gender,]] and his first order is to see you naked. However, it's largely implied nothing ''really'' happens...

* Ready? Here comes the list of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' poster boys for this trope:

** Desh in ''[[Final Fantasy III (Video Game)|Final Fantasy III]]''. Gave us the famous quote: "Hey, we have a ship! Now we can pick up girls from all over the world!". Makes an apparent {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} soon after.

** Edge in ''[[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IV]]''. A prince who will fight like a wildcat to protect his people, but never misses an opportunity to get close to pretty ladies.

** Edgar from ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]''. A king who tells little girls he'll marry them when they grow up... and spends his days working as a [[Gadgeteer Genius]] to protect every last one of his subjects. He hits on Terra when Locke first brings her to Castle Figaro, but is also willing to put himself (not to mention his own kingdom) in great risk in order to protect her from [[The Empire]].

{{quote| '''Kefka''': A [[Blatant Lies|girl of no importance]] recently escaped us, and we heard that she found refuge here...<br />

** Irvine in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VIII]]''. It's mostly an act, at times even bordering on [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]. Although he genuinely enjoys being a dashing cowboy type, his real concern is protecting his friends.

** Zidane in ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'' is practically the poster boy for the series alongside Edgar. He actually has "Protect Girls" as a support skill which lets him intercept attacks on women, and is constantly flirting with females throughout the game. He also subverts [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]], as he shameless makes passes at Garnet the entire game, though he backs off slightly when he realizes he's actually in love with her.

*** ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' reveals that not even gods and [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s are off-limits to him, as his battle quote to the Cloud of Darkness is "You are are impressive, [[Ms. Fanservice|in more ways than one]]", and when Cosmos appears before him he instantly replies "Today's not a good day for a date".

** If we're putting all the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' examples together, add political mastermind Al-Cid Margrace ([[NamesName's the Same|NOT Cid]]) in ''[[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XII]]'' and, more obviously, ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics a 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy Tactics a 2A2]]''.

** Surprisingly, one of the characters he doesn't appear to be attracted to is [[Break the Cutie|Atoli]]. Of course, he's more of a [[Shipper Onon Deck]] with her and Haseo, which might be why...

* Larry Butz in ''[[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Ace Attorney]]'', who falls in love quickly and is very passionate about the ladies. Unfortunately most of them seem to end up using him, leaving him, being murdered, or being [[Whip It Good|Franziska von Karma.]]

* Perhaps the best example that no one's ever heard of: Sain the Paladin from ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' (the seventh one overall, [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|the first one to be released in the United States]]), who somehow manages to be both [[Genre Blind]] and [[Genre Savvy]] simultaneously. He knows how knights in that particular genre of game pick up women, so he inserts a lot of stereotypically "knightly" phrases into his speech. Which would probably work, if anyone else in the game talked like that. He does a lot of stuff -- likestuff—like trying a "heroic" pose with a lance in the middle of a fight, but in the process forgetting the [[Tactical Rock -Paper -Scissors]] and taking an axe to the face for his trouble -- thattrouble—that show how he's trying to be honorable and heroic but is really just perverted and hilarious. Sadly, [[Shoo Out the Clowns|he shows up less and less]] as the game gets [[Darker and Edgier]], and notably has no plot-mandated lines after the [[Disc One Final Boss]]. Darn shame. So many good opportunities missed.

{{quote| '''Briggid''': What's Chalpy like?<br />

'''Alec''': It's a country full of beautiful girls.<br />

'''Briggid''': Alec! You better not try to double-time with me!<br />

* Zelos from ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]''. It actually benefits him to talk to every female character he sees, as they'll give your party items if Zelos is in the lead.

* The player character of the [[Dating Sim]] ''True Love'' shamelessly comments on seeing [[Panty Shot|girls' panties]] and the size of their breasts, and would clearly love to get laid by any beautiful girl he meets. However, he won't force a girl to do anything she doesn't want to do, and is disgusted by the misogynistic statements made by the school resident [[Casanova]]. Heck, there's even an event in the game where {{spoiler|he ''[[Rescue Romance|rescues]]'' one of the girls from a [[Near -Rape Experience]], which makes him gain love points from both the girl he saves ''and'' [[Hot for Student|his hot female teacher]] (whom you can't hook up with if you don't help the damsel).}}

* The ''[[MegamanMega Man Legends]]'' incarnation of the [[Fan Nickname|Blue Bomber]] is a champion of justice who has a nasty habit of peeping at his adoptive sister in the bath.

* Gilder of ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]'' seems to be one of these. He certainly doesn't go after Fina or Aika, and has a sense of humour about it - even [[Karma Meter|if Vyse chooses to tell him]] that his motto comparing women and sunsets ("beautiful, but there will be another one tomorrow") is messed up when they first meet.

* [[Large Ham|Bang Shishigami]] from ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]''.

{{quote| "Yukiko is my anchor, my friend and my one true love. She comes first. The moment she tells me she's uncomfortable with my... [[Triang Relations|activities with]] [[Ms. Fanservice|Mulan]] is the moment they cease."}}

* Ragnar from ''[[Wild ArmsARMs XF]]''.

* Gannayev in ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]] Mask of the Betrayer'' starts out as a jaded Casanova but a female player can turn him into a [[Chivalrous Pervert]] instead, with a little care.

* Zevran Arainai plays around with this in ''[[Dragon Age|Dragon Age: Origins]]''. While he is a [[Professional Killer]] who wears a [[Casanova]] facade, when genuinely pursuing a relationship with someone, he switches into this mode. He makes a point of only having sex on an amateur basis, though. Sleeping with the target only makes things complicated.

* Spada Belforma from ''[[Tales of Innocence (Video Game)|Tales of Innocence]]'', at least when it comes to Ange.

** Note that he actually ''is'' a Knight.

* Junpei Iori in ''[[Persona 3]]''.

* Roy Campbell is shown to be this in ''[[Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops]]''. Namely, Roy has attempted to give advice to his fellow soldiers that proves to be completely inappropriate for the soldiers' current situation despite the similar wording (For example, if a soldier attempts to call Campbell asking for advice in regards to distance between themselves and the enemy that is far enough away to not trigger an alert, and he ended up giving advice about personal space in regards to dating a girl.), as well as teased Snake about getting a girl like Elisa into joining his side as he thinks that she's about five years too young to be sexually mature. However, he has shown himself to have quite a bit of a restraint in regards to dating girls: For instance, he passed an opportunity to date a girl he had an attraction to for his brother's sake (they were both attracted to the same girl) and joined the Green Berets.

** This carries over to ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', where he's in a relationship with the [[May DecemberMay–December Romance|much-younger]] [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Rose]]. {{spoiler|This is all a ruse to keep the Patriots from finding out that Rose's unborn child is Raiden's, thus trying to prevent them from using Rose and the baby as leverage against him.}}

* ''[[Duke Nukem]]'' has made it his life's mission to rescue [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|Distressed Damsels]] from hideous, alien behemoths. But that doesn't mean he won't ogle them once he's saved them.

* Raven from ''[[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Tales of Vesperia]]'' is this, flirting incessantly with the female party members (not that [[The Tease|Judith]] does much to discourage him), while having a chivalrous side that becomes especially noticeable halfway through the game. {{spoiler|It also helps that he's actually a knight captain. Hell, even as ''Schwann'' he'll compliment Judith's beauty if she's in the party during the boss fight with him}}.

* Wrex from ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]''. He certainly loves the ladies, but he treats them with considerably more respect than the average Krogan. If both are alive by the end of the third game, it's implied that he settles down with Eve

* Mion Sonozaki in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' is an extremely rare female on male example. Much more prevelantprevalent in the manga. Then again, she may also be acting as such [[The Gadfly|to screw with Keiichi for lulz]] every bit as much as it's motivated by affection.

** Sam thinks he is a Casanova, and ends up being a [[Chivalrous Pervert]] in spite of himself.

* Tedd from ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]''. I mean seriously, ''Grace'' has used the [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-04-23 X-Ray on his glasses] more than ''he''!

* Jake Packard in ''[[ISOI.s.o.]]'' is this trope to a T. [[Even the Guys Want Him]] and there's almost [[Anything That Moves|no one he won't hump]], but he's actually genuinely sweet and honorable and won't go an inch further than he's been permitted to.

* Joe Rosenthal from ''[[ItsWalkyverse|It's Walky!]]''. Started out as a [[Loveable Sex Maniac]] ("[https://web.archive.org/web/20131011031921/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040114.html every 50th girl gets a coupon for half-off any entree at Fazoli's]", [https://web.archive.org/web/20131011031907/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040111.html note that this adds up to some 40+ coupons]), but over the years he became quite chivalrous.

* [http://twokinds.net/?p=477 This] page of ''[[Two KindsTwokinds]]'' sums up Eric's motivation for preventing genocide quite nicely.

* [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara.]] Apparently, being feminist gives him an "appreciation for the female body".

{{quote| '''[[Marz Gurl]]:''' I think, what it comes down to is, it has to be just you and me. Lesbianism.<br />

'''Linkara:''' Can I watch?<br />

'''[[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]]:''' No, you're a feminist, and that's exploitation.<br />

* More subtly, [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]. He will fall in love with any [[Action Girl]], he's a subby masochist, he has a [[Berserk Button]] of women not having the power they should, but he'll make it clear if he's having the hots for someone in whatever he's reviewing. (Female ''and'' male.)

* Ayla Goodkind, codename Phase, of the ''[[Whateley Universe]]''. He looks so much like a girl (because of his mutation) that he can shower in the girls' bathroom... and look at everyone else in there. On the other hand, he's really considerate of his girlfriend and his female friends, even if he's only about fifteen. And the girls in the bathroom haven't asked him to leave (yet).

* ''[[Family Guy]]'': Quagmire, who frequently engages in [[Ephebophile]]-like behavior, including Meg. Despite his lust for – and later, near sexual relationship with – Meg, he has shown on many occassionsoccasions that he cares for Meg, comforting her and giving her advice in her time of need.

* Beast Boy from the animated ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]''. In the ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]'' movie, {{spoiler|he gets his own legion of Japanese fangirls, and enjoys it very much}}.

* Female version: [[Magical Girl Warrior]] Castaspella from ''[[She Ra Princess of Power (Animation)|She -Ra: Princess of Power]]''. Adora catches her ogling her twin brother openly at least twice.

* Jiminy Cricket from ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' openly hits on the attractive women featured in Gepetto's music boxes & cuckoo clocks, whips out a pair of specks when the can-can dancers appear in a show he was previously uninterested in, and more or less only became Pinocchio's conscience/guardian [[Hello, Nurse!|because the Blue Fairy batted her eyes at him]]. In his defense, he's very polite and respectful to women he meets face-to-face, even if they're inanimate; and once he's charged with taking care of Pinocchio, he takes his job very seriously.

* Prince Naveen from the latest Disney movie ''[[The Princess and Thethe Frog]]''. After he and Tiana are turned into frogs, chased out of a banquet, nearly swallowed by alligators, and stuck in a damp hole for the night, he suggests they [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|"get comfortable"]].

* [[Looney Tunes|Speedy Gonzales]] is a friend of my sister Carmella!

* Sokka and Iroh from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.

* Phil, [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hercules]]'s mentor.

{{quote| '''[[Hot Scientist|Dr. Holiday]]''': I'm talking about the 90% negative spike in your bioenergy.<br />

'''Rex''': [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|My bios spike everytime I see you, Doctor Holiday.]]<br />

* [[Plastic Man]] in ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batmanand the Brave And The Bold]]'' is portrayed as this. He hits on ''every'' attractive superheroine he meets. He seems to be doing it for fun more than anything, as can be seen in "Night of the Batmen!" where, after Catwoman expresses her interest in him, he replies "Tempting. But I'm really more of a dog person". The best part? He's married and has a child.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131122081121/http://www.okcupid.com/personality?type=DGSD&g=1&o=1 The Backrubber].

* Of all people, [[w:Giacomo Casanova|Casanova]]. His reputation of having sex with anything that couldn't outrun him was justified, but he avoided overly simple or overly complex conquests, and actually valued intelligence in a woman. His primary target were women who were married for reasons other than love, and was simply showing them affection that their more brutish husbands didn't.

* Gender-bending scene-[[Pop/crunkcore|crunkcore]] singer Jeffree Star is slightly sex-crazed if [[Intercourse Withwith You|the subject matter of all his songs]] is any indication, but when he caught former tourmate Dahvie Vanity of Blood On The Dance Floor banging underage girls, he clearly demonstrated where he drew the line.
