The male form of [[Hello, Nurse!]] and polar opposite of the [[Casanova Wannabe]]. A male character who is so good-looking and unintentionally charming that he becomes a babe ''and'' stud magnet, (the studs being either bisexual, or straight). Some of the other characters may question his sexuality and he'll keep them guessing, which results in [[Ho Yay]]... unless, of course, he is the [[Boys Love|love interest]].

 

{{examples}}

* Akira from ''[[Ai Ore Love Me]]''. Many of the boys at his school are infatuated at him because of his cute, feminine appearance.

* ''[[Gate 7]]'': Tokugawa Iemitsu.

* ''[[Yamada Taro Monogatari]]'': Not only is Taro a big [[Chick Magnet]], he even manages to make [[Unknown Rival|Suguira]] fall for him.

* Kagetora of ''[[Mirage of Blaze]]''. Naoe is deeply in love with him.

* ''Gensoumaden [[Saiyuki]]'' and all its related movies, series and manga. All four main characters, especially Sanzo, get quite a bit of male attention, notably from their foes. Goku had Homura get up close and personal, Hakkai had Chin Yisou (plus Li Touten's come-ons to Tenpou), Gojyo had Kami-sama...and poor Sanzo had Hazel, Go Dougan in ''Requiem'', Rikudo, the bandits from ''Burial'', and that one guy from the ''Reload'' anime with the puppets. Not to mention the way that Goku looks at Sanzo and Gojyo teases him about being pretty. Sanzo...does not always deal with this gracefully. One of his less rage-y reactions from early in ''Gensomaden'':

{{quote|'''Guy''' (Leers and holds Sanzo's face):''You're so pretty that you look like a woman.''

'''Guy''': (Leers even more):''I don't mind.''

'''GS''' (Remains placid):''Fool.'' }}

* ''[[Gankutsuou]]'': The Count. Albert clearly has a huge crush on him. And then there's Albert himself. His best friend Franz is secretly and desperately in love with him. And Peppo, a male crossdresser seems to have a strong affection for Albert and enjoys teasing him whenever he can. He later falls deeply in love with Albert. He also ends up engaged to Eugenie who ends up falling in love with him too.

* There's the attraction that Hanagata has for Otaru in ''[[Saber Marionette J]]'' though it's not shared. As well as Otaru having a [[Unwanted Harem]] of about three marionettes all who are head over heels in love with him.

* Kyohei from ''[[The Wallflower]]'', who has a history of losing jobs due to his bosses—both male and female—sexually harassing him, and his headmaster at his school also came on to him once.

* In ''[[Haunted Junction]]'', Akamanto Kamen/Red Mantle is a ''very'' attractive male ghost who charms all the girls of Saitou High on mere sight, except for School Council girl Mutsuki ([[Shotacon|she has a thing for younger males instead]]). When he takes off his mask to save a bunch of [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] boys from a curse cast by his rival {{spoiler|and long-lost younger sister}}, the ghostly [[Femme Fatale]] Blue Spot Girl, even guys (included Haruto and Kazumi from the Saitou HS council) fall in love with him. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* From ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', Dio Brando. His insane level of charisma gets a lot of people to serve him, female and male alike. Joseph even mentions that this makes him very dangerous, as his minions are extremely loyal.

* ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]''--

** In the original light novel series, D almost gets raped 3 times by men & Leon prevents two of them, one of those rape attempt included a kiss & getting to second base, and D gets 5 marriage requests from men.

* One-shot character and [[Charm Person]] Kotaro Ijuuin in ''[[Rosario + Vampire]] Capu2''. Not only did his voice captivate nearly every girl in earshot, when Ginei attempted to stand up to him, even he was smitten.

* From the opening credits, it's clear that [[The Quiet One|Ichiro]] from ''[[Nerima Daikon Brothers]]'' is coveted by women, men and animals alike. Naturally, he works at a host club.

* Ikki from ''[[Air Gear]]''. Just ask Akito. Or Aeon Clock who once confessed his love for him by saying that his life is Ikki's "feathers" and that "my heart is still inside those wings engraved with the same time". Or possibly even Kazu.

* Train from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' had three girls who fell for him, and, ironically, the [[Big Bad|man]] who fell for him is the one whose feelings for him are the deepest and most [[Stalker with a Crush|obsessive]].

* Akio from ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', and for very different reasons, Touga. It's no real surprise when they start doing each other after Akio's first couple of appearances.

* Claus Valca from ''[[Last Exile]]'', especially notable in the episode "Fairy Chess", receives varying forms of potentially romantic attention from Lavie, Tatiana, Sophia, Dio, and Gale.

* Masao Kirishima from ''[[Mars (manga)|Mars]]'' quickly attracts the attention of male and female students alike.

* Sousuke Sagara from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. Sousuke managed to attract [[Stalker with a Crush|unwanted attention]] from Gauron ever since he was ''[[Shotacon|twelve]]''. Seriously—when Gauron [[Love At First Sight|first saw him]], he literally did a double take, parked his jeep, and tried to pick him up. Also, in episode 24 while Gauron's trying to blow himself and Sousuke up (possibly in his screwed-up mind, as a lover's double suicide), he cries out, "I LOVE YOU, KASHIM!" and in Japanese, Gauron actually says "Aishiteru ze", which literally means "I love you" with all the romantic and sexual connotations attached to it. He also keeps calling Sousuke "Honey". Zaied also quite possibly felt a bit more than friendship towards Sousuke. Especially considering the frequent, really [[Gaussian Girl]]-esque memories he had of playing half-naked in the water with young Sousuke. Or how, in the short amount of time he was shown, he's always ''constantly'' thinking about Sousuke and whispering his name. Not to mention that, although Sousuke doesn't hesitate to kill him, he {{spoiler|ends up unable to bring himself to shoot Sousuke when he has the chance}}. And Zaied wasn't the only guerilla that worked with Sousuke that probably wanted him—in the novels, it's made clear that Sousuke was aware that the other guerrillas he worked with treated him unusually nice, and many times it seemed likely that they would "attack him in his sleep" just because he was so darn pretty.

** In the novels, Lemon seems to be [[Bi the Way]] towards Sousuke. Sure, he has a crush on Nami but there are the numerous times he's shown to have a strong attraction to Sousuke, despite Sousuke not even doing much besides being good looking and simply being there. When he first saw Sousuke, he thinks to himself that Sousuke is ''very'' good looking and "charming", despite Sousuke being [[The Stoic|completely emotionless]] (read: "eye candy"). Later, after Sousuke wins a tournament that helped win back Lemon's money, Lemon hugged Sousuke with "more passion than a french kiss would warrant", making Sousuke ''slightly'' uncomfortable. And later still, Lemon gets drunk, and subsequently invades Sousuke's personal space by hugging and groping him while blushing - which [[Hates Being Touched|irritates Sousuke to no end]].

** And then in the manga there's a substitute swim teacher who takes an immediate interest in Sousuke and his abilities—an interest which apparently involves blushing, drooling, and having thoughts which are [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/full_metal_panic/c042/11.html WAY too suggestive] to not be taken as [[Hot for Student]]. And he is shown to be very obviously jealous and shocked when he interprets Kaname's "I work well with Sousuke because we have a bond" as being that they've done it.

** Also, there's the elderly janitor for the school that is shown having a fantasy of having a threesome with Sousuke and Tsubaki. It was [[Squick|the most disgusting and disturbing images shown]], ''ever''. [[Brain Bleach]] ''will'' be needed for anyone who sets eyes on that.

** Kanda too. He's had guys hit on him before and Lavi is quite affectionate towards him, insists on calling him by his first name, and acts like a spurned lover whenever Kanda yells at him.

** And Tyki. Cyril clearly likes the ladies but he is also obsessed with Tyki and even flirts with him a couple of times. He once said that Tyki's beauty arouses him, with Tyki replying "You're giving me goosebumps."

** Also the shy little spirit, a [[Interspecies Romance|fox dragon thing]] {{spoiler|and maybe Yuuko.}}

** Oh, and you know Zashiki Warashi, that cute girl that's [[Shrinking Violet|completely shy]] and has a huge crush on Watanuki? In all likelihood, "she" is a "he" or an "it", according to a CLAMP interview where they say that her being female is [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|not necessarily the case]]. Coupled with the fact that Zashiki Warashi spirits are normally described as being young boys and rarely being girls, along with how Ame-warashi usually says "this child" when referring to Zashiki Warashi instead of actually using a gender...

** And Tetsunosuke himself qualifies as Suzu has a considerable amount of [[Foe Yay]] towards him, Heisuke finds him attractive and has flirted with him, Susumu blushed around him and is hinted to really like him, and he has a love interest in Saya.

** And Suzu too. The old merchant Yamatoya made him his sex slave and his favorite "pet".

* [[Handsome Lech]] Hachibei Maeda in ''[[Ai Kora]]'', has a few girls in his harem that are either in love with him or grow to love him later on. Also, Haiji fell in love with him because Maeda has a "[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|pure heart]]".

* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' has Gene who initially has a thing going with his partner Hilda, gains the affections of the lovely Melfina, has [[Ship Tease]] moments Suzuka, as well as Fred Luo having a yaoi crush on him.

* An episode of the second ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' anime series shows even the boys in Nozomu Itoshiki's class would jump at the chance of a romantic relationship with him. Much to his despair, of course.

* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''--

** Nakago himself, as well. He's wanted by both [[The Dragon]] (a [[Depraved Homosexual]] [[Master of Illusion]]) AND [[The Dark Chick]] ([[Shock and Awe]] [[Dark Action Girl]]) of his group, ''and'' Miaka [[Squee|went all googly-eyed]] when she went to Kutou to check on Yui, meet up with him and saw his face for the first time (he was wearing a helmet that hid a good part of his face at the beginning), before she knew he was the enemy.

** Oh, *please*. Hotohori! He's got Nuriko *and* {{spoiler|Lady Houki}} crazy for him, and not to mention one of the Mt. Reikaku bandits was still infatuated with Hotohori after [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|the Bridget dropping]] that took in the arc.

* ''[[Speed Grapher]]'': Saiga Tatsumi''. Ginza's obsessed with him, Kagura falls in love with him (and he with her), and his friend Bob openly crushes on him. Granted, Bob is a homosexual, so, in his case, it makes sense.

* ''[[Black Butler]]''--

** And Claude. [[Depraved Homosexual|Alois]] practically confesses to him in episode 8 and in episode 11 tells him [[Ho Yay|"I wanted your love"]].

** Alois. He was able to effortlessly seduce Lord Trancy into [[No Yay|having sex with him]].

* ''[[Nodame Cantabile]]'': Chiaki. [[Flamboyant Gay|Okuyama]] certainly wants him. Unfortunately for Okuyama, so does [[Dogged Nice Guy|Nodame]].

* ''[[Code Geass]]''-

*** In regards to Rolo his voice actor has absolutely no doubt that Rolo is in love with Lelouch, as he explicitly mentions in more than one of his interviews about the character.

*** In one picture drama Suzaku tells a cross-dressing Lelouch that he "looks beautiful", eats a piece of rice off of his face in one audio drama and ends up kissing him in another audio drama. And in the Turn 9.34 picture drama when C.C., Kallen, and Lelouch dress up as belly dancers to sneak into the Chinese Federation. C.C. and Kallen introduce Lelouch as their "beautiful older sister" and the men ogle him. Of course, Lelouch has a masculine voice, so when he speaks, they realize that he's a guy. However, one of the men says he doesn't mind because he thinks Lelouch is "beautiful".

* ''[[Loveless]]''--

** Ritsuka. Soubi, Yuiko (one of Ritsuka's female classmates), and his ''older brother'' Seimei are all in love with him. It's also pretty [[Squick]]y because Seimei's love for Ritsuka [[Brother-Sister Incest|falls very deeply into incest territory]]. It's also implied that his (much older) psychologist has a crush on him as she takes him out on a "date" in an early volume.

** Soubi as well.

* Kei/Megumi Yosikawa reluctantly filled this role in the ''[[The Day of Revolution]]'' and all bets are off after he [[Jumping the Gender Barrier|Jumps The Gender Barrier]] and his (now her) [[True Companions]] are [[Something's Different About You Now|no longer subject to that particular inhibition]]. After Kei becomes Megumi it's poor Mikoto's turn in the barrel.

 

It's interesting to note that Kei/Megumi and Mikoto's similar experiences resisting unwanted male advances is what actually draws them together in the first place.

** And Yuuki from Cross Days.

* ''Several'' males from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''

* Kazuto ("Towa") Sakuma from ''[[Sensual Phrase]]''. His androgynous good looks make not only women but also men swoon over him. He is... not amused.

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Miller]] from ''[[Kaguyahime]]'' even when they don't mistake him for a girl.

** You can't forget Masataka who has [[Depraved Bisexual|Souma]] himself lusting after him.

* Thor from ''[[Jyu-Oh-Sei]]''.

** And then there's [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Hideyoshi]] [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|Kinoshita]]. Should note there are subtle hints in the novel that Hideoyoshi might have a small crush on Yoshi too.

* Memori from ''[[Game X Rush]]''. Played for comedy, when the judo team ("Can I call you 'Big Brother'?!"), the G-ing bodyguards, and the male kids at the elementary school become big fans of Memori. And then there's the mutual Ho Yay between him and Yuuki...

* Masashi of ''[[Oniichan to Issho]]''. Mizusawa falls for a crossdressing Masashi and calls him "Boss Lady". This does not desist even when Masashi is dressed in masculine clothing. In general, most men who do not realize Masashi's true gender are attracted to him. Additionally, from Tsuyoshi's point of view, this trope also applies to Rin, his [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]].

* Alviss of ''[[MAR]]''. "Man, Alviss-dono is popular among both men and women!", as stated by Edward during episode 88's Mär Heaven Network. Also, his enemy Phantom attempts to kiss him twice, brainwashes him and keeps him chained to his throne, and Alviss was practically molested by him.

** Let's see, you've got like every background character in episode 1, Ryuk follows him around everywhere, Raye Penber The Stalker, L and his weird obsession and surveillance cameras, Misa showing up on his door step, Takada directly asking him out, Matsuda and Mikami the Fanboys, and Near with his creepy smiles and he keeps calling and hanging up... [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Kira is a wanted man.]]

* ''[[Gokusen]]''--

** Kuma and Uchi also show a [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/gokusen/v01/c005/8.html brief moment of] [[Ho Yay]] towards their class ringleader Shin.

* Kyo Sogoru of ''[[Zegapain]]''. He has a [[Invisible to Gaydar]] character named Lu Sheng who loves him and possibly also Tomigai since he was willing to give his [[Sacred First Kiss]] to Kyo while filming a love scene for a movie Ryoko was making.

* ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]!'': Usui in the anime adaptation. Can't blame them. Even straight guys in [[Real Life]] want to kiss him!

** The manga has some suggestions towards this as well, with Hinata walking up to a wet, half-naked Usui, [[Eating the Eye Candy|sizing him up]], and [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kaichou_wa_maid_sama/v06/c027/18.html cheerfully concluding that he probably would be completely hot for Usui if he was actually a girl.]

* ''[[The Tower of Druaga (anime)|The Tower of Druaga]]'': Utu. When Jil first sees him without his helmet on, he blushes and says he didn't think Utu would be that good looking.

* ''[[Shukufuku no Campanella]]'': Leicester. Even Golem blushes around him.

** Elliot, as mentioned in side materials.

* Yuki of ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]''. Almost everyone in the cast absolutely adores and loves him, including the [[Foe Yay|main villain]].

** Also Luka as he is a major [[Chick Magnet]] and male!Yuki has mutual [[Ho Yay]] with him. Elegy, who's stated to be male by Luka in the manga, also has an obsession towards him.

** Asuka is regarded as "the kind of guy other men fall in love with" by members of his kendo club. When he's rumored to move to America he even gets a group of guys confessing their love for him.

** And then there's Juuta who doesn't even hide the fact that he finds Asuka very charming, calls him Asuka-''chan'', tends to [[No Sense of Personal Space|lose his sense of personal space]] around him, and even flirts with him a few times.

* Tesshou from ''[[Wild Life]]''. Professor Ryoto constantly hits on him.

* Cain from ''[[Count Cain]]''. Oscar is in love with him.

* Kakashi from ''[[Naruto]]''. In one filler scene, a ramen waitress and her father blush and get all googly-eyed upon seeing Kakashi's handsome face.

** Naruto in fandom view. It's joked that he's a [[Seme]] magnet. In canon he's got a bunch of fangirls after saving Konoha (Hinata included) and Gaara seems to become his fanboy, being determined to save him, thinking about him and touching him a lot, and considers meeting Naruto to be the best moment of his life. According to him, everything he was burdened with was worth it since he got to meet Naruto.

** Sasuke is a Chick Magnet and Udon was shown making googly eyes at Sasuke after he saved them from Kankuro. And Orochimaru has an obsession with him and "wants his body".

** And Haruka as well as [[Anything That Moves|Kou]] loves to flirt with him.

* Daisuke from ''[[D.N.Angel]]''. He's subject to some major [[Ho Yay]] whenever Satoshi and Keiji are around, and he also gets some [[Ho Yay]] with Dark and Rokuto. In the anime, it is hinted that Satoshi may have romantic feelings for Daisuke. When this is brought up, he doesn't openly confess to anything, though he never denies the accusations either. If anything, he encourages the idea, which has led to the source of much confusion regarding his motives. It has even been stated outright by Dark that Daisuke is the one who causes Satoshi to turn into Krad. Krad himself has also hinted at Satoshi possibly wanting more than a friendship from Daisuke at least once in the anime, and more than twice in the manga.

* Takara from Moe Kare. The entire school seems to love him regardless of gender or age.

* ''[[Psyren]]'': Ageha Yoshina. Oboro likes him ''a lot''.

* Takuto Tsunashi from ''[[Star Driver]]''.

** Given that Head/Reiji Miyabi [[Depraved Bisexual|has seduced men and women alike to further his goals]], {{spoiler|it must run in the family}}.

* Teito Klein of ''07-Ghost''. Mikage once told him he loved him, Ayanami has [[Foe Yay]] towards him, and Frau and Hakuren have [[Ho Yay]] towards him.

* ''[[Natsume Yuujinchou]]'': In the manga, Natori's horde of squeeing fangirls [[media:natsume-yuujinchou-857822 1890.jpg|includes Nishimura.]]

* Yuki from ''[[No Bra]]''.

* ''[[Karakurizoushi Ayatsuri Sakon]]'': Sakon. He melts the girls around him and he seems to be a little bit aware of this fact but he is too shy to do something about. His friend Fujita says that "Although I'm a guy, I think he is hot stuff".

* ''[[Barajou no Kiss]]'': Tenjou is shown having a horde of adoring fans of both genders. His [[Psycho Supporter|vice president]] is rather, ah, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/barajou_no_kiss/v01/c005/30.html devoted].

* ''[[Clover]]'': Kazuhiko. Barus is especially fond of him, and likes to call him his "prince". And, uh, [[A Love to Dismember|snuggle with his severed hand at night]].

* Kuranosuke from ''[[Kuragehime]]''.

* ''[[No. 6]]'': Nezumi, when the two mooks wanted "payment" from him after he kisses the prostitute. Also implied by Rikiga when he offers Nezumi a job as a gigilo. Also, Sion has mutual [[Ho Yay]] with him and kisses him on the lips. And he sometimes uses his sex appeal to charm other guys into doing things for him. In chapter 14 a male top No 6 official also hits on him.

** And not to mention Sion who is the target of mutual [[Ho Yay]] by Nezumi and is even kissed by him. Also, in chapter 6 a random guy comes up to Sion and hits on him saying "You're very pretty like a doll."

* Shin from ''[[Nana]]''.

* Ranmarou from ''[[Ikoku Irokoi Romantan]]''. Even Gondou, who is straight and in love with Kaouru, is tempted by him.

* Possibly Kyon of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]''. There's a meme going around that [[Memetic Sex God|everyone is Itsuki for Kyon]].

* Sen and Swordfish from the yaoi manga ''[[Manga/Under Grand Hotel|Under Grand Hotel]]''. Sen has Swordfish in love with him and has had numerous guys try to rape him, and Swordfish has Sen and Norman in love with him.

* Negi from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' is a major [[Chick Magnet]] and [[Memetic Sex God]] already, but in [http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-sensei-negima/336/17 this chapter] is appears that he has ''his arch-rival Fate'' as a possible love interest pining for his affections. The end of the chapter even reads that the strongest love (?) rival appears. So yup, he counts, and we're damn shocked it took ''this'' long.

* Hiroshi Kuzumi from ''[[Ookamikakushi]]''. Just ask [[Depraved Bisexual|Issei]] who stalks and tries to molest Hiroshi a few times.

* Makoto Fujitani from ''[[Karin]]''. Lots of guys seem enamored with him because of his [[Bishonen|beautiful]] looks and have frequently tried to jump him.

* Keita of ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]''.

* ''[[Antique Bakery]]'': Ono has a reputation as a "Gay of Demonic Charm," and has been fired multiple times for (sometimes accidentally) charming his straight coworkers and bosses.

* The titular character of ''[[Kunisaki Izumo no Jijou]]'' often attracts unwanted attention from guys due to his looks. Being a natural in playing as an ''onnagata''<ref>female impersonator</ref> in kabuki does not help either (at least in his opinion).

* ''[[Breakfast Club (manga)|Breakfast Club]]'': Akira.

* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', Inuyasha found himself on the receiving end of Jakotsu's attentions who was quite determined to show Inuyasha the affection he always gives to his favourites... which [[Squick|involves death and carved ears]]. Jakotsu did also admit that he found Miroku and Sesshoumaru very attractive as well... but his heart was now loyal to Inuyasha.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has Kamina, Simon, Viral, and Rossiu. [[Camp Gay|Leeron]] openly flirts with all of them at one point or another. Also, Simon and Kamina have loads of male fans in real life that have man crushes on them due to how [[Badass]] they are.

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': During the Koi Rod arc Ranma (in both his male and female forms) falls in love with Ryoga due to being hit with the fishing rod of love, causing much fan rejoice from the shippers.

* Gon of ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]''. Killua has considerable [[Ho Yay]] towards him and Hisoka clearly has the hots for him.

* Ludwig of ''[[Ludwig Revolution]]''. Very much canon with Julius's interest in Ludwig.

** Ukitake. Oh ''boy'', Ukitake. Despite never using his looks to his advantage (being a nice guy), he still has both women and men fussing over him in equal measure. One fainting spell[[Beach Episode|on the beach]] has everyone instantly hovering anxiously around him. His subordinates dote upon him ([[Bottle Fairy|Kiyone]] is madly in love with him, and we can't blame her) and even the other captains are quite taken with him. There's [[Chivalrous Pervert|Kyouraku]] (who he's effectively got wrapped around his little finger) calling him "iro otoko" which means "lover, lady-killer, sexy guy" (make of that what you will), [[Tsundere|Sui-Feng]] (of all people!) pinning him to a tree with daggers and [[Shirtless Scene|cutting his haori and kimono jacket]] [[Clothing Damage|to shreds]] while his 3rd seat took photos, and Amagai jumping him. [[Can't Hold His Liquor|It was the sake, sure. (Suuuuuure).]]

* Played straight in Doushitemo Furetakunai: The main character captures the attention of several 'straight guys' during the story.

* Otani from ''[[Lovely Complex]]''. Seiko, a boy who regularly crossdresses and makes a convincing girl fell in love with Otani after Otani saved him from being attacked by a dog and even kissed him on the lips. Otani later found out Seiko was biologically male when he took off his shirt when tending to Otani's injury in the school infirmary. Seiko feared that Otani would find him disgusting but Otani reassured him that he didn't and they remained good friends.

* ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'' has Yu Narukami aka the Main Characgter. During Episode 19, Yosuke apparently has ''very'' confusing feelings for him during the group date.

** ... Which actually comes from an event in the game, only with the [[Ho Yay]] amped [[Up to Eleven]].

* ''Battle Spirits'': J.

* Saizo of ''Brave 10''. Kamanosuke certainly wants him as do a lot of girls.

** Yukimura as well. Just ask Rokuro.

* Kurama of ''[[Kamisama Kiss]]''. In-universe. He also has lots of male fans.

* Ko Kijin in ''[[Saiunkoku Monogatari]]'' is so beautiful that when he took the examination to qualify for government office, his looks distracted the other candidates so much that only he and two other people - both friends of his who were already accustomed to his beauty - were able to pass the exams, and thirty officials had to be fired for forgetting to ring the bell to signal the end of the exam period. He eventually took to wearing a mask constantly in order to hide his face, and even the threat of having him take off his mask during court is enough to cause chaos; when he actually takes it off, it entrances anyone who looks at him and sends several men into hysterics.

* Mizutama from ''Pump Up'' has a pretty big male following due to his feminine looks.

* ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'': The seventh audio drama reveals that Shouma's friend Yamashita has a crush on him.

* Corsair: Canale, the resident blind [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]], gets raped/attempted raped fairly consistently from the age of seven upwards and his brother has an unwanted lust for him as well as Ayace being in love with him.

* Ryu of ''Tantei Gakuren Q''. Older women, young girls and little girls blush at the sight of him as well as him having Ho Yay with Kyuu and the Foe Yay with Anubis.

* High School DXD-Occult Research Club: Issei. To defeat him, that is. Vali, Sairaorg, Cao Cao and Kiba wants to fight are the prime targets. Needless to say, he's not amused.

* ''[[Cardfight Vanguard]]'': Aichi Sendou. He has Kai stating that he's obsessed with him and considers him his mate, Misaki and Kourin have a thing for him, Ren and him are rather close with Ren generating much Ho Yay towards him, Ishida Naoki and Shingo being his fanboys, and Olivier Gaillard's dialogue sometimes sounds a lot like he's Aichi's jealous boyfriend.

** Sanji. Duval's reveals he's got a crush on Sanji. And he had drag queens on Okama Island flirting with him and dressing him up for two years. Also the two men on Fishman Island who gave him blood transfusions.

* Misaki of ''Project K''. Fushimi enjoys stalking him and appears to have feelings for him to a yandere extent.

** Kuroh has made Shiro blush multiple times and even calls him his "wife".

** Araki Koutarou has boys falling for him due to his girlish looks.

* Yamada-kun And The Seven Witches: Yamada himself. He has attracted many girl throughout the series. He has also attracted the male Miyamura and other guys are not afraid to get physical with him as well.

 

== Comic Books ==

 

 

* Naruto and Sasuke get this in slash fics sometimes when paired with each other or with other guys. "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7430301/2/Taste_of_Your_Lips The Taste Of Your Lips]" is an example of other guys wanting Sasuke and Sasuke in turn wanting Naruto.

* As only a sophomore in high school, Jean-Paul (Northstar) is this in [[X-Men]] fanfic ''[[Mutatis Mutandis]]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2359030/Artemiss_Liege Artemis's Liege], catching the eye of two upperclassmen and apparently initiating an affair with his combat instructor Wolverine, all seemingly straight.

'''Champ Kind:''' I miss your musk... When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together!

'''Brian Fantana:''' Take it easy, Champ. Why don't you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while. }}

* Jeffrey Beaumont of ''[[Blue Velvet]]''. Frank Booth is a [[Depraved Bisexual]] who takes the hero out, covers his mouth with lipstick and kisses him while calling him pretty (the original, four hours long, script also implied pretty heavily that he raped him). And after all that, when he's chasing him to the woman's apartment, he threatens him with rape again and is still calling him pretty.

* [[Cillian Murphy]] of ''[[The Dark Knight Saga]]''. Notable example being when the director of ''[[The Dark Knight Saga|Batman Begins]]'' tried to find excuses for him to [[The Glasses Gotta Go|take off his glasses]] so there could be more screentime for his baby blues.

** From the ostensibly straight reviewer at [http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/1798/batman-begins/ Ruthless Reviews]:

{{quote|"I listed Murphy last cause I simply have to mention that this guy is too good looking. Look, Christian Bale is a handsome dude, but Murphy (who plays Scarecrow) is fucking gorgeous. I was getting lost in his dreamy eyes, man. Like Holmes, Murphy was way too young for his supposed profession (in this case a psychiatrist); unlike Holmes, he was so good looking that I bought it."}}

* ''[[10 Things I Hate About You]]'' director Gil Junger, after [[Heath Ledger]] finished the reading and left, declared that if he had to have sex with a man, that Ledger would be that man.

* Temperature drops a few degrees.*

'''Rainier:''' *Says nothing, but looks very, very scared.* }}

* In the ''[[Outlander (novel)|Outlander]]'' series, it's rather ironic to note that Claire's husband Jamie seems to end up having more male admirers than ''Claire herself''. The author must be a [[Yaoi Fangirl]]. Especially interesting in the case of how her husband from the present's ancestor Captain John Randall (who looks identical to him), was almost made to look like a romantic interest for Claire in the past timeline, only for him to become obsessed with Claire's husband and ''hate Claire because he's jealous of how she's Jamie's wife''. Also, the Duke of Sandringham apparently tried (unsuccessfully) to do Jamie when Jamie was young, as well.

* Raoul and the Persian are as entranced by Erik's [[Compelling Voice]] as Christine is in ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]''.<ref>So the Phantom has [[Keith David]]'s voice?</ref>

'''Cat:''' I've seen mirrors! I have eyes! Let's face it, buddy -- I have a body that makes ''men'' wet! }}

* In ''[[Angel]]'', Doyle has this discussion about the eponymous vampire.

'''Doyle:''' Maybe I'm a ''little'' attracted. }}

** It bears pointing out that Doyle passed his visions to Angel in one alternate timeline, and the only way we've seen visions passed on is kissing.

* ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'' had Craig say this to Marco: "You know, you are a great guy....You're a little short, but that just adds to how cute you are. That I would find you if you were a girl or I was not a guy. Is not gay. Just tell me this is working." Then Dylan comes in and Marco spontaneously kisses Craig.

** Also, Sean. Granted, the only guy in canon is Marco. Still, Marco, Emma, Manny, Paige, and Ashley all make some unambiguous romantic overtures toward Sean.

* Michael from ''[[Burn Notice]]''. Fiona seems to be in love with him, male villains seem to have a thing for calling him "pretty", Gilroy seems to be actively hitting on him, Seymour clearly has a massive one-sided man-crush on him, and [[Word of God]] says that Larry is "primarily motivated by his love for Michael".

* ''[[Jon Stewart]]'' of ''[[The Daily Show]]'', despite being a happy heterosexual, has been canonically shipped with a variety of real live men, including George Clooney, Ricky Gervais, Brian Williams, and especially ''[[Stephen Colbert]]''.

Because you look just like a girl

Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast.." }}

{{quote|"It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow

...To everybody on your dick...no homo" }}

* Subverted in ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk]]''. Decus certainly ''thinks'' that his (putrid) cologne has this effect.

* In ''[[The Sims]] 2'' expansion "FreeTime", one of the rewards for a life well lived is a magic lamp containing a genie. If the Sim chooses "Give Me Beauty" as one of threw wishes, s/he is granted automatic maximum chemistry with any Sim of his/her preferred gender, and all the Sim needs to do to activate this trope is to "Flirt... Check Sim Out" at least one Sim from each gender. A bug in the code then causes every NPC and their sister to ring the Sim's doorbell at all hours of the night, making a good night's sleep all but impossible but guaranteeing a gigantic stable of friends and/or lovers. [[Be Careful What You Wish For]].

* Cloud from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' is actually stated to be this in [[Guide Dang It|Ultimania Omega Guide]]. "One look at Cloud in drag gets Corneo very excited. Do Cloud's charms enslave even members of the same sex?"

* [[Memetic Sex God|Klavier Gavin]] from [[Ace Attorney|Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]. When he and Apollo first met he (Klavier) states that he's used to girls drooling over him, but that he has "never felt this way with a man before".

{{quote|"[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Who taught you to]] ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|move]]'' [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|like that]]?"}}

* In [[World of Warcraft]], [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy|Lor'themar Theron]], the current leader of the blood elves, has an ability called "Mass Charm" which charms members of both sexes.

* Quite a few ''[[Pokémon]]'' characters invoke this in the fandom, most notably Red, the original protagonist.

* ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' contains 4 [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|White-Haired]] [[Badass]]es (namely Dante, Vergil, Sparda and Nero) whose level of manliness is so high that not only do they have a staunch [[Estrogen Brigade]] at their feet but also an equally admiring, if not outright swooning, [[Spear Counterpart|Testosterone Brigade]], especially Dante. [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|Stupid Sexy Dante...]]

* Teddie's human form from ''Persona 4''. He makes extensive use of the [[Bishie Sparkle]] and uses it to manipulate women that he comes across. Not to mention during the crossdressing scene he was the only one able to pull off looking like a girl. One male commentator even exclaimed "I'd hit it" even after finding out that Teddie was actually a guy.

** 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.

 

== Visual Novels ==

* Abel, of ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]''. ''Everyone'' is gay for Abel. Even if you don't know who he is.

** [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader14.php Ahem.]

* Marius from ''[[My Life in Blue]]'' is an [[Bishounen|androgynously handsome]] [[Transsexualism|transguy]] with admirers of all sexes and sexual orientations. He tends to get annoyed when lesbians hit on him, though. Alex also has the habit of making people question their sexuality in his presence.

* {{spoiler|The human form of Artie}} from ''[[Narbonic]]'' achieves this status, as [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=10245 Dave is forced to admit].

* Tip from ''Skin Horse'', by the same author, is so attractive that [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=40137#157548 even male dogs want him]. {{spoiler|When he himself is turned into a wolf, anyway}}. Not to mention [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=46115 Gavotte] a literal [[Hive Mind]] by virtue of being a swarm of bees. Who STILL wants Tip.

** And now that ''[[Skin Horse]]'' has been defined as a sequel to ''[[Narbonic]]'' (to much [[Squee]] from... well, all the fans), the natural result is that Tip and Artie [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=48770 meet up].

* Remember that guy on [[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]], and all the ladies were swooning and then that guy stood up and declared "I'm homosexual now?" Yeah? Remember that? That was great.

** He's a pilot, and he has great hair. ({{spoiler|I tell a lie, it's a wig}}.) His name's Hank.

* In one ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'' episode, Paulo declares to a group of Mike's female admirers that Mike [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c11/p3.html plays for the other team.] Cue Mike's ''male'' fansquad.

* [[Hark! A Vagrant]] gives us [http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=120 Ooh, Mr Darcy]. "Meanwhile in a 20 mile radius of this event: Bodices ripping, men turning gay."

* Just about every single male character in ''[[The Dreamer]]''.

* In [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1770 this] [[Questionable Content]], Marten is just as enthusiastic about parts of Sven as the girls are.

** Gary has managed to attract a harem of interests, these including the homosexual Dillon and the bisexual Matt who has fantasized having sex with him.

* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', every single member of {{spoiler|Jake English}}'s circle of friends has a crush on him, including the other boy, and (sort of) his AI duplicate.

** [[Deconstructed]] a little later on. Because all of his friends have a thing for him, there isn't a single person he can go to to talk about any of this (until {{spoiler|Jane accidentally and inaccurately tells him she doesn't have a thing for him}}, anyway), he's constantly having to tip-toe around sensitive subjects without letting anyone else find out what anyone else feels or that he knows about it, often questions whether it's even true in the first place or he's all just egotistically imagining it, and is showing signs of wanting to get together with one of them partially because he feels guilty about rejecting everyone.

* Daichi from [[Greek Ninja]]. During the final battle, Creon notes that he's good-looking after seeing him when Sasha saved him from being decapitated. Having said that though, [[Anything That Moves|Creon had tried to make a pass on Sasha earlier...]]

{{quote|'[[Makes Sense in Context|You’ve got good taste in this life just like you did in your last]]. Must say, he’s quite a beauty. You make a cute couple.'}}

 

 

== Western Animation ==

* Hinted about Pete Klesko from ''[[O'Grady]]''.

** "Hello, ladies! [[My Friends and Zoidberg|And]] [[No Name Given|Timmy's dad]]!"

** Timmy's 16-year old persona, Gah the Norwegian Male Supermodel in ''Love at First Height''.

** Lisa climbs a red wood tree to impress a good looking humanitarian. When Homer yells at the guy for his good looks, the boy says Lisa did it on her own, and Homer replies "I'm sorry, I was lost in your eyes!"

** Homer himself believe it or not. He has shown that when he has hair and looses weight he's actually not bad to look at. He's married to Marge and has managed to attract numerous beautiful woman throughout the show. He has also been kissed by another man on two separate occasions who had developed feelings for him, and while clearly surprised didn't react negatively either. Also Peter of Family Guy was willing to engage in a sexy car wash with him and Chief Wiggum was attracted to the sight of them getting their Ho Yay on.

** Ned Flanders. Homer has said that he's sexy (he's the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] after all) and he's also hugged and kissed Ned and filmed him naked in the shower.

** In "Hungry Hungry Homer", while Homer is convincing Sherri to go to a dance with Bart she says she would rather go with Tommy and Homer comments "Well duh! He's ''breathtaking''."

** Who can forget the [[Memetic Sex God]] Squilliam. To quote Squidward: ''"Oh no, he's hot!"''

*** Also in the Spongebob special, Spongebob vs The Big One, JKL gotten the attention of Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward. Squidward even faints because JKL's hottness is just that overwhelming.

* A pair of lyrics from Gaston's [[Villain Song]] (sung by his biggest fanboy LeFou) in ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' sound... [[Accidental Innuendo|interesting]]:

{{quote|''For there's no man in town half as manly!''

''And they'd tell you '''whose team they'd prefer to be on!''''' }}

* In ''[[Time Squad]]'', [[The Ace|J.T. Laser and the Lance Nine Trillion]] have this effect on Buck Tuddrussel and the Larry Three Thousand, respectively. The latter is already [[Camp Gay]], but even [[Boisterous Bruiser|Tuddrussel]]'s thin wall of restraint crumbles quickly.

* Virgil in ''[[Static Shock]]''. Richie, his best friend, rather intensely fanboys him and is hinted to be gay for him.

* The title character of ''[[Johnny Test]]''. If you watch any episode where Johnny's [[Stalker with a Crush|sisters]] try to woo [[Dumb Blonde|Gil]], at least one of Gil's lines will be either "Hi, Johnny!" (if he is around) or "Say hi to Johnny for me!"

* Danny Fenton's alter ego [[Danny Phantom]] has made quite an impression on Paulina and bully Dash. Vlad Masters also frequently has made some questionable statements and behaviors towards him. He also has his female friend Sam attracted to him.

* Plucky and Hampton of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''. When Hampton decides to go skinny dipping in Max's pool he gets Plucky hooting and hollering and shouting at him to take it all off. Also Hampton once grabbed Plucky with his whip and pulled him close to kiss him.
