Handsome Lech: Difference between revisions

** Further supported in that he stops almost entirely once he finally gets around to {{spoiler|proposing to Sango.}} The key word in that sentence being almost.

* Goyjo from ''[[Saiyuki]]'' - with his long red hair and smooth talk come ons whenever the group stops anywhere populated. Always garnering severe upbraiding by Sanzo ("lecherous bastard"); or ridicule from Goku ("pervy kappa").

* Tatewaki Kuno from ''[[Ranma ½]]'' - very handsome, rich, excellent vocabulary, and apparently a figure well-skilled in the arts of polite romance. Also so incredibly egotistic that he can't conceive of the idea of a girl ''not'' being attracted to him, as well as being willing to [[Glomp]] the girls he is interested in at a moment's notice and also something of a hypocrite who is capable of such feats as ranting about how mixed bathing is for "moral degenerates" while racing eagerly for the baths with a girl in his arms. And he isn't even much of a playa compared to Mikado Sanzenin from the same manga/anime, whose very name is a pun in Japanese meaning "sex-obsessed neurotic" and who openly boasts of his plan to have kissed over 1000 girls—Kuno is simply fixated on two girls at once (well, he ''thinks'' [[Gender Bender|one is a girl]]) and openly proclaims that he will date them both at the same time, because he can't bear to choose either one.

* Kurz Weber from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' often gets slapped around by the female series leads for lecherous behavior.

* Sanji from ''[[One Piece]]'' is an odd case as he was ''originally'' presented in this manner, actually finding plenty of woman (not including Nami) who found him attractive, but later on he became a combination [[Casanova Wannabe]] and [[Butt Monkey]] as all of his advances became universally rejected and often met with physical abuse.

** Played straight now with Fishman Island. The mermaids are pretty enthralled with him.

* Sakura from ''[[Penguin Musume Heart]]'' exhibits this sort of behavior, as a [[Rare Female Example]]. It could be blamed on her extreme [[Otaku]]-ness, but perhaps [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|there is more to it]].

* Subverted by Lyle Dylandy {{spoiler|aka the second Lockon Stratos}} from the second season of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]''. {{spoiler|He acts the part towards ''both'' his teammate Tieria (praising his beauty and nicknaming him "Mr. Cute Instructor" in episode 3) and ex [[Emotionless Girl]] Feldt Grace (stealing a kiss from her and getting slapped for that, in episode 4).}} However, lechery plays ''less'' of a part than you'd think; this is a small [[Batman Gambit]] from the guy, destined {{spoiler|to have them see less as a [[Replacement Goldfish]] for his [[Dead Little Sister|deceased twin brother Neil]], the local [[Big Brother Mentor]] ''and'' the first Lockon, who played quite important part in Tieria's and Feldt' lives}}.

* Kamina of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is apparently handsome enough to make the page picture for [[Perverse Sexual Lust]], but spends the uncut [[Hot Springs Episode]] trying to get a good look at the nude females.

* Though any male main character that has an affair in ''[[Gankutsuou]]'' could fit the description, Andrea Calvacanti wins an honorable mention because of his antics with Hermine and {{spoiler|Eugenie Danglars, considering they are his [[Parental Incest|mother]] and [[Brother-Sister Incest|sister]].}}

 

== Comic Books ==

'''Hostage:''' "--?! You ''shot'' me--?!"

'''Woody:''' "So, what, meet for drinks, then--?" }}

 

== Fan Works ==

* Commander Rawne in ''[[Tiberium Wars]]'' is an unabashed skirt chaser whose tendencies are regularly called out, and aren't overlooked by his superiors; at one point, General Killian Qatar "bribes" him by giving him a billet in a mostly-female barracks. At another point int he story, he grants a wounded female soldier high-priority and expensive medical treatments and replacements for her damaged eyes, and the scene implies the entire reason he did so was because he found her attractive.

 

== Film ==

* Graverobber, in ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'', is one of these. Arguably, so is Pavi Largo.

* Peter O'Toole plays one in ''What's New, Pussycat?'', but tries to overcome it through psychoanalysis for the sake of his impending marriage. Unfortunately his analyst (Peter Sellers) is something of a [[Casanova Wannabe]] and little help.

 

== Literature ==

* The various ''[[Transformers Timelines]]'' series have a few handsome leches portrayed in them, particularly [[Transformers: TransTech|Jackpot]], [[Transformers: Wings of Honor|Swindle]], and [[Transformers: Wings of Honor|Side Burn]], all with varying degrees of success with the [[FemBot|ladies]].

* Milo Banda in ''[[Septimus Heap]]''. More specifically, he's inclined towards Marcia Overstrand, but he's usually embarassing for the people around him.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

{{quote|'''Gary''': You have the right to remain, ''foxy!''}}

* Sebastian Smythe from ''[[Glee]]'' is as of the Sectionals episode of season 3 too new a character to know for certain, but he seems to be this, what with hitting on a clearly uncomfortable [[Ho Yay|Blaine]] right in front of his boyfriend.

 

== Machinima ==

* ''Possible'' example: Tucker from ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''. We don't actually know for certain he's Handsome, but he was once described by his (admittedly ridiculously nice) CO as having "metrosexual good looks". And the Lech part can't be in any doubt - he'll try to "charm" his way into the armour of any woman he encounters, no matter how badly she can (and cheerfully ''will'') kick his arse. And if there ''are'' no women around, he'll take any opportunity to brag about his (potentially fictional) sexual conquests or throw in some subtle *ahem* innuendo. Bow chicka bow wow!

 

== Newspaper Comics ==

* Steve Dallas from ''[[Bloom County]]''. Women immediately spot that he's a jerk.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* [[Bliss Stage|Keenan Caine.]] Just... Keenan Caine. In game terms, he's a [[Casanova|Carefree Hedonist]]. His [[Level Up At Intimacy 5|Intimacy scores]] in the one shot are 4 (out of 5) or higher with every female character but [[Tsundere|Anna Lin]], with whom he has a '''Broken''' relationship, and it's heavily implied the reason why is a vicious break-up. He is [[Murder the Hypotenuse|the hypotenuse that Josh tried to murder over Sara]]. [[Jerkass|He's also]] [[The Scrappy|a bastard]].

 

* ''[[Drood (theatre)|Drood]]'' - John Jasper is this to the extreme; though an absolute and total creeper (albeit due to being ''way'' bipolar), is often played as a charming and handsome man, and there's no doubt that Rosa feels something for him, as disturbed as she is at the same time.

* Guido Contini from ''[[Nine (theatre)|Nine]]'' fits this very well. A first-class charmer who just can't stay faithful to his long-suffering wife.

* Robert is more or less portrayed this way in the musical ''[[Company]]'', as he juggles three girlfriends, enjoying a little of each but without showing signs that he really loves any one person (which "Being Alive" suggests is his deep dark desire). He's just good friends with a bunch of married women and their husbands, who envy his hedonistic bachelorhood.

* The character of the Trickster from [[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s KOOZA is portrayed like this, wooing every girl he sees with his magnetic charm and even gaining fans from the audience.

 

== Video Games ==

* [[CROSS†CHANNEL|Taichi]] is pretty shameless in his attempts to sexually harass the female cast. Of course, he does have some standards, and tries his best not to go too far. {{spoiler|He already did cross the line with half of them, which is why they hate him so much. And like Zelos up there, it's a mask to hide some serious issues.}}

* Luka from ''[[Bayonetta]]'' will never not flirt with a sexy lady. No, it does not matter if he's currently running away from the police. No, it does not matter if they {{spoiler|apparently}} murdered his father. No, it does not even matter if they don't ''[[Crossover Ship|live in the same universe]]''. He lists off the girlfriends he's had at one point: [[Resident Evil|Claire]], [[Viewtiful Joe|Sylvia]], [[Devil May Cry|Trish]] and... [[Okami|Ammy]]?

 

* ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'' has Itsuki. He's mostly shown to be turned down, but he still manages to get girls to give him lunch boxes just about every lunch.

 

* Konstantin from ''[[Tsunami Channel]]'' is an attractive omnisexual man who would [[Anything That Moves|hit on anything]] (except for [[Catgirl|Cat Girls]]); but his very open ways and his love for [[Hentai]] [http://tsunamichannel.sakura.ne.jp/index.php?date=2003-05-19&comic=ExCoKo scares any potential dates]. The exception is Anya the [[Catgirl]], who is so in love with Konstantin that she doesn't mind how perverted he is.

* Sven Bianchi from ''[[Questionable Content]]'' who is known for his ability to (figuratively) charm the pants off practically any girl he encounters. He prefers blondes. Sven recently (after being threatened by Faye) is trying to move past his man-whoring days, but can't even tell when he is being sincere any more.

* Velma of [[I Was Kidnapped by Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space]] is a [[Rare Female Example]] in her dedication to bedding girls.

 

* In ''[[The Gamers Alliance]]'', the [[Disability Superpower|blind swordsman Jono]] keeps flirting with girls and tends to be quite successful with bedding them. However, when he finds a challenge from [[Fiery Redhead|Vaetris]] who doesn't fall for him quite so easily, he's intrigued and smitten by her. They eventually grow close {{spoiler|until Jono discovers to his horror that Vaetris is in fact [[Evil All Along|one of the four dreaded archdemons]] who has been deliberately manipulating his feelings for her to achieve her sinister goals}}.

* [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]], in his [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Star Trek Elite Force]]'', plays Ensign Munroe like a combination of this plus [[Memetic Badass]], to the point where he warps three-quarters of everything he says into some sort of [[Double Entendre]]. [[Catch Phrase|'Cause he's Ensign Munrooooooooe!]]

 

== Western Animation ==

* Jonesy Garcia from ''[[6teen]]''.

* Duncan from the [[Total Drama Island|Total Drama series]].
