[[Ms. Fanservice]] approaches her target. Wearing her [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe|tightest blouse]], she [[Sexy Walk|sidles up to him]], runs her hand down his arm, smiles at him sweetly, does the "push-up" thing to [[Male Gaze|accentuate her]] cleavage...

And her efforts to seduce the guy fall completely flat.
Why? Usually because the [[Knight in Shining Armor|intended "victim"]] [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|is completely]] [[The Fettered|and totally]] [[Celibate Hero|above such things]]. Or maybe he just knows better than to [[Honey Trap|play Ms. Fanservice's game]]. Or he's pre-occupied. Or he [[:Category:Queer As Tropes|doesn't swing that way.]] Or else [[Asexuality|he's just not interested]].
[[Sorry, I'm Gay]] is a subtrope. May result in a request to [[Please Put Some Clothes On]], depending on the nudity level of Ms. Fanservice at the time. Compare to [[Not Distracted
▲[[Sorry, I'm Gay]] is a subtrope. May result in a request to [[Please Put Some Clothes On]], depending on the nudity level of Ms. Fanservice at the time. Compare to [[Not Distracted By the Sexy]], where people aren't intentionally ignoring the fanservice so much as they don't seem to notice it in the first place. Can play a part in a character's decision to [[Defector From Decadence|Defect From Decadence]]. Often used in tandem with [[Ready for Lovemaking]], to better subvert it.

== [[Advertising]] ==▼
▲== Advertising ==
* A Coors Light commercial features a guy coming home to find lit candles all over the apartment, a trail of rose petals, and a note on the refrigerator written in lipstick saying "Come and get me". As he opens the fridge door, his girlfriend appears in the doorway wearing lingerie. He doesn't even notice her; he's too interested in the Coors Light "Cold Activated Window" beer in the fridge.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlReZgHy08 This] is the trope [[Recycled in Space|IN AN ELEVATOR!]]
* Played for laughs in an Arby's Roast Beef commercial. A group of construction workers are oblivious to the many pretty women who walk by but start hooting and hollering when a guy walks
* An ad for the Windows phone shows a lady standing in front of her bed in a sexy nightie, trying in vain to distract her husband from his phone.
* A Levi's Jeans commercial has a woman (after being unable to go into a women's bathroom to change her pants) go into the men's washroom and see a (seemingly) blind young man twirling his cane. She proceeds to change in front of him, then walks up to his face and zips up her jeans in front of his face (to no reaction whatsoever). She walks out of the washroom, and another man comes out of an adjoining stall. The "blind" kid hands the cane back to the older man (who is actually the blind one), and tells him he wouldn't believe what just happened.

* ''[[Yakitate!! Japan]]'' does this with Suwabara Kai and Monica. She tries to wreck his concentration by stripping to a bikini; he counters by stripping to his loincloth and the [[Cooking Duel]] continues.
* ''[[D
* ''[[Code Geass]]'':
** During the Cupid's Day episode, one of Milly's plans to stop Lelouch involves putting a bunch of scantily-clad girls in suggestive poses in his way. However, "Lelouch" is actually Sayoko in disguise, and she just jumps over them. For extra comedy points, Sayoko says "Those bodies have no effect on me!", causing the appropriate confused reaction from the girls, and Lelouch asking her to "please quit making me say such things".
** And in the first season, Suzaku manages to tackle a completely nude Kallen to the ground after catching her bathing on a deserted island. He proceeds to... arrest her, looking only at her face. Would be a case of [[Not Distracted
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' does this a lot, given as the seductress' target is usually Negi, who is [[Adorably Precocious Child|ten years old]].
** The most obvious one is probably when Evangeline goes into full [[The Vamp|vamp]] mode, stripping him naked and dragging him into a bath with her and [[Blood Lust|licking the cut on his arm]]. The attempt at seduction fails completely.
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
** Older fans point out the irony of ''Negima!'' being described as "an escape from ''[[Love Hina]]''", considering the lead of ''that'' series had no ability to Ignore the Fanservice.
* In the ''[[Battle Royale]]'' manga, Mitsuko Souma strips naked in order to try to seduce Kazuo Kiriyama, and later kill him. Kiriyama can feel no emotions, and Mitsuko's unoriginal plan not only fails miserably, but backfires spectacularly when she is tortured and then shot in the face. Disturbingly enough, it does seem to have worked a little. This is the first (and almost only) time we ever see Kiriyama display clear emotion, [[Nightmare Fuel|smirking as he intentionally and repeatedly shoots to wound rather than kill]].
* ''[[
** Misa Amane goes to various lengths to entice her fiancé Light Yagami into bed. These include parading around in a [[Ms. Fanservice|corset and panties or a sexy nightdress]]. She also becomes quite frustrated when Light doesn't want to interact with her. Which is pretty much all the time, unless he needs her to do his dirty work.
** We also have Halle Lidner, who gets her kit off in front of Mello, a man she hardly knows, without hesitation. She then has a very suggestive shower, and offers Mello a place to stay, in a very seductive manner which as we all know can only mean one thing. Mello is completely unaffected by Halle's behaviour, and instead points a gun at her.
* ''[[
** As Kyon is flirting with Mikuru, Haruhi kept trying more and more [[Fan Service|revealing]] attire, culminating in a partial [[Playboy Bunny|bunny suit]] (as in, she wasn't wearing part of it, not that she wore it with something else) but was entirely ignored. This did not go over well with her.
** Kyon seems to ignore every aspect of Haruhi's fanservice-oriented outfits except for how socially disruptive they are to everyone else. "Seems" being the operative word, as he is a notoriously [[Unreliable Narrator]].
** It's also possible that her troublesome behavior and attitude simply override any sexual appeal he (consciously) feels for her at this point.
* During [[Improbable Weapon User|Mousse]]'s introductory story in ''[[Ranma
** Subverted in the manga, when Ranma converts one of his unisex outfits into a bikini, so that guys will want to take him out on a date and buy him lunch. When this doesn't work, he's horrified, thinking that he's no longer appealing to men. But as it turns out, there just aren't any men on the beach, because the owner of the island forbade any males to be there.
* [[Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend]] Kasukabe from ''[[Genshiken]]'' puts on her shortest skirt, her tightest shirt and starts draping herself around [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Kousaka while talking to him in the sexiest way possible. His answer? "Thanks, but I'm going to line up for [[Serious Business|a videogame release]] in Akihabara."
Line 45 ⟶ 43:
* Not quite the same, but when Alice makes an appearance in ''[[MAR]]'', all of the character's comment on how [[Stripperific]] she looks. Except Ginta (her summoner) who never even seems to look her way. Even Babbo, who changes into the form, is embarassed about it. Given that we ''know'' he's a normal boy for his age (he makes several comments about Dorothy and very clearly has a crush on Koyuki/Snow), it makes you wonder. Probably justified that Ginta consider Koyuki/Snow as cute [[Love Interest]] and Dorothy as a Beautiful [[The Tease]], [[Chaste Hero|he never REALLY comments anything about a]] *cough*[[Male Gaze|girl's body]]*cough* after all.
** He also knows it's [[Gender Bender|Babbo.]] When Nanashi makes a comment about Alice's body, Dorothy is quick to remind him that [[Shapeshifting Squick|Alice is Babbo.]]
* ''[[
** In the very first episode/chapter, Bulma offers to let Goku feel up her butt in exchange for his Dragon Ball. Goku's response? "I don't wanna touch your dirty butt."
** Again, in the 21st Tenka'ichi Budokai, Ranfan whose entire fighting style relies on [[Fan Service]] to let the guard down of the predominantly male fighters, tries this on Nam, an ascetic monk. Nam, thinking about his villagers in the drought in his homeland, closes his eyes and quickly defeats Ranfan (although he was flustered during the match when she started stripping).
* In ''[[Please Twins!]]'', Mike ignores all the fanservice provided by... well, every single female in the series. Therefore, they logically conclude that he is gay (he isn't). [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* When Killer Bee refuses to teach [[Naruto]] how he learned to control his tailed-beast, Naruto tries to use the Harem Jutsu to persuade him... and literally gets the door slammed in his face for it, much to his surprise.
* In an very early episode of ''[[Pokémon (
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''{{'}}s [[Beach Episode]], Kaname specifically wears a rather revealing bathing suit in an attempt to get [[The Stoic|Sôsuke]]'s attention. Unfortunately, [[Chaste Hero|he doesn't notice]] ([[Media:Beachepisode fmp 2527.jpg|as seen here]]), [[Tsundere|which ticks her off]] (among other things that day).
* One episode of ''Goku [[Sayonara, Zetsubou
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** Zoro was the only one not to go peek at Nami and Vivi bathing. Even Vivi's own [[Squick|father]] and [[Parental Substitute]] went to do it!
** This happens with Luffy when Boa Hancock is completely naked before him, with the first thing he says after seeing this is "there is no food back here".

** Also considering [[Power Perversion Potential|he could take a peek whenever he wants to]], it probably isn't a big deal to him. Not to mention, X-ray vision would presumably make... augmented... breasts look rather different from the real thing.
* When Ava Lord of ''[[Sin City]]: A Dame to Kill For'' allies with Wallenquist, he tells her, "I'll warn you once and only once, Mrs. Lord -- do not flirt with me. I have no use for your charms."
* In the ''[[X Wing Series]]'', Soontir Fel, the best Imperial pilot alive, is assigned to a corrupt admiral who pushes a scantily-clad woman at him, telling him to "enjoy her" rather than keep going over the defenses of the world. Fel says his [[Happily Married|wife]] would not approve, the admiral says that neither would ''his'' wife, [[What You Are in

* In the (musical) film adaptation of ''[[Hairspray]]'', Velma attempts to seduce Wilbur, meeting with utter failure, so she resorts to physical force to put them in a compromising position for his wife Edna to see.
* In ''[[Moulin Rouge]]!'', Satine's blatant acts of sexiness are ignored by Christian, but not because he isn't interested...
* Chieko's story in ''[[
* In ''Kingpin'', two corrupt bowlers fix a tournament by stationing Ms. Fanservice next to the lane to throw the other bowlers off their game. A farmer in denim overalls isn't at all flustered... until one of the characters produces an adorable baby lamb.

* In the 1971 British horror film ''Blood on Satan's Claw'', Angel Blake tries to seduce Reverend Fallowfield, but being a good man of the cloth, he pushes her away.

We were all gathered around him, sitting in his big armchair

* In the movie adaptation of the video game Hitman, the protagonist agent 47 receives very direct approaches by Nika, but he just doesn't want to be bothered (and, being engineered from birth to serve as an assassin, probably doesn't have much of a sex drive anyhow).
** She literally jumps him almost completely naked. He produces a syringe with a sedative and injects her, allowing him to get back to work.
* "You have nothing I need". Those were the Mariner (Kevin Costner)'s words in ''[[Waterworld]]''.

* In the [[Tim Burton]] ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' remake, Leo pays absolutely no attention at all to the drop dead gorgeous [[Nubile Savage|Daena]] even after she puts the full liplock on him.
* In ''Clones of Bruce Lee'', Bruce #2 is completely unaffected by the naked prostitute he finds in his hotel room. Good thing, considering she was an assassin sent by Dr. Ny to assassinate him.
* In ''[[Scary Movie]] 2'', Theo attempts to vamp Dwight to get the keys to escape the haunted house. It doesn't work.
* In the 1987 movie version of ''[[Dragnet]]'', Joe Friday rejects a topless model and ignores a stripper, although he does end up with Connie Swail.
** He falls for [The Virgin] Connie Swail because she is every bit as straight-laced and ultraconservative as him, which also explains why he didn't pay much mind to the earlier fanservice.
* The Rebbe's son does this to a female undercover cop in ''A stranger among us''.

* In ''[[Cruel Intentions]]'', Sebastian sucessfully seduces Cecile, the woman that Kathryn originally bet he would be able to sleep with. Kathryn later tells Cecile how to learn the art of sex from Sebastian. Cecile, in turn, tries to seduce Sebastian by climbing on top of him half-dressed while he's working. Sebastian literally shoves Cecile off the bed like a toy and keeps typing.

▲* In Aldous Huxley's ''[[Brave New World (Literature)|Brave New World]]'', the Savage is totally uninterested in what Lenina is offering. (Well, actually he ''is'' interested, but he doesn't want to ruin his "purity.")
▲* In Plato's ''[[Symposium (Literature)|Symposium]]'', Alcibiades attempts to seduce Socrates, even going so far to literally sleep with him, but fails because Socrates is above such things. This makes this trope [[Older Than Feudalism]].
** This happens several times, with a [[The Fair Folk|fairy]], several [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|vampires]], and Harry's

▲** This happens several times, with a [[The Fair Folk|fairy]], several [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|vampires]], and Harry's apprentice -- and good friend's daughter -- Molly (but not at the same time). Sometimes it does take some effort [[Incredibly Lame Pun|on Harry's part]].
** Especially in the first book, when reporter and love interest Susan Rodriguez [[Crowning Moment of Funny|accidentally drank a love potion instead of an escape potion]] and wound up [[It Makes Sense in Context|trapped in a magic circle with an acid-spitting toad demon outside]] and a [[Black Comedy Rape|dosed-up Susan making forays into attempted rape inside]].
* Though one would hesitate to describe it as "literature", there is a scene in which a waitress in a tavern is trying to seduce the main character of ''The Orb of Xoriat'' (she is actually trying to get him to ask her to dance, but sex is implied in later conversation). She has a disproportionately-excessive response (leading a band of assassins to him) later in the book.
* In [[Raymond Chandler]]'s novel ''[[The Big Sleep (Literature)|The Big Sleep]]'', a beautiful young lady turns up naked in Philip Marlowe's bed and tries to seduce him. His response is basically [[Please Put Some Clothes On]].
* Likewise with [[Mike Hammer]] in ''The Twisted Thing''. He mentions afterwards that she went about it the wrong way, as he likes to be teased a little.

** Liquor, smokes and porn, in that order. Unsurprisingly, during the pay off, things go awry.

Being used to men sexually harassing her, she decides to [[Show Some Leg]] to get him interested, as she's in a [[Bedlam House]] and would like to leave. He ignores what she's doing until she gets bored of it. When she suggests that he might have prurient motives for hiring her, he's neither startled nor interested by it. By the end of the book, it's implied that they're having some sort of chaste love affair.

In response, he is polite, understanding, charming, and ''not fazed for even a second by her come-ons''. [[Driven to Suicide|Cleopatra's response to this]] [[It Was His Sled|is well known]].
* An episode of ''[[Spin City]]'' had the team trying to get a new chair for the office, but the guy in charge wouldn't give it to them because they had broken it by racing in the corridor.

* As does Topher from ''[[Dollhouse]]''. [[Joss Whedon]] apparently [[Author Appeal|enjoys this trope]].
* Xander succeeds against the entire female cast of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' when a sex-appeal spell has been cast on him. "Buffy. No, please don't open that raincoat." Buffy herself is occasionally shown ignoring cute guys as a sign that she's in a funk, such as in her opening musical number in [[Musical Episode|"Once More With Feeling"]], where she dismisses a bare-chested model offering to "repay" her for saving his life. "Whatever."
* ''[[Burn Notice]]'': While not an intended seduction, when Fiona misinterprets Michael saying he's 'coming over' she opens the door wearing nothing but an open shirt over her underwear and holding a glass of wine... and Michael and Sam just stroll past her while tossing off a casual greeting. Sam spares her one glance, Michael doesn't even ''look'' at her.
* In ''[[CSI New York]]'' Mac Taylor's ability to remain completely focused on his job when said job lands him in a room full of half-dressed Roller Derby queens, one of whom is visibly trying to throw herself at him, is nothing short of impressive. That said, though, he [[Absolute Cleavage|does have practice]].

She fails to take into consideration that Damian might not want to jump her bones the first chance he gets, and the plan of course fails.

* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]: Chain of Memories'', Larxene flirts with Axel near-constantly, and has zero respect for his personal space (see the [[Fetish Fuel/Kingdom Hearts|Fetish Fuel page]] for further details). He doesn't blink twice. Of course, Larxene isn't ''really'' flirting with him as much as trying to get on his nerves, but Axel's too cool-headed to get annoyed.
