Line 24:
* Jennifer Lopez' titular character in ''The Wedding Planner'', who is depicted as so lonely that she's willing to settle for marrying a man she doesn't love to save herself from [[Christmas Cake|spinsterhood]]. This is ''[[Jennifer Lopez]]'' we're talking about. Hell, her fiance could count too. Sure, he's no Matthew [[Mc Conaughey]], but he's hardly so ugly that ''he'' would need to settle for a woman who doesn't love him just so he won't be alone.
* Melvin Udall ([[Jack Nicholson]]) in ''As Good as It Gets'' is an incel due to his misanthropy.
* ''[[Never Been Kissed]]'', where the protagonist, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|who has never been kissed]], is played by... [[Drew Barrymore]].
Line 45:
* Commandant Klink from ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]''. The irony of it is that the women he has the most success with are actually enemy agents seeking to use him in some plot. Otherwise they would run a mile.
* Charlie in ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia|Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]''.
** Charlie being dateless is actually quite justified, he's borderline retarded, lives in a dilapidated apartment and is regularly called out on having terrible hygiene. The only dates we ever see him on are ones the guys set him up on. He proceeds to torpedo these spectacularly. Dee on the other hand regularly complains about having trouble finding men yet in the "Dee Gives Birth" she's shown to have several regular sexual partners, two of which are actually in excellent shape and declared by the guys to be "legitimate lays".
* Cabbage Head on ''[[Series/The Kids In The Hall|The Kids In The Hall]]''.
* In ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' there is Miles who has continuously been referred to be beyond all hope when it came to make a positive impression on the other sex (or people in general) despite looking like [https://secure.wireimage.com/ItemListings.aspx?cbi=4474&igi=1381&nbc1=1 this]. Most run away before he gets a chance to introduce himself.
Line 97:
== Webcomics ==
* Davan Macintire, main character of ''[[Something
* Marten of ''[[Questionable Content]]''. Something of a subversion in that he only acts this way because he's often oblivious of people's attraction to him.
* Torg from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' is, in Bun-Bun's words, a "nerd boy" who's supposed to be relatively unlucky with the ladies. Except, y'know, for Valerie, Angela, Oasis, Alt-Zoe, and (eventually) Prime-Zoe all falling for him. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] since at least two ([[Alternate Character Interpretation|possibly three]]) of those women were just using Torg as a stand-in for previous [[Love Interest]]s who had died, and another is only in love with him because she's been [[Brainwashed]] to do so.
