* ''[[ |
* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]:'' Robin lost her viriginity to a gay guy, only not really because he'd barely gotten in before he stopped and announced, "Yeah, I'm gay." |
||
* On ''[[ |
* On ''[[The IT Crowd]]'', Jen plays this to a man whose sexuality is a mystery through most of the episode. At the end he breaks down and cries that he only went out with her because she looks a bit like a man. |
||
* ''[[ |
* ''[[Seinfeld]]'' also plays with the trope. Just as George has had at least one woman become lesbian after being with him, they revert after a night with Kramer. |

{{quote| '''Will:''' But... Don't you see what a compliment that is? I mean, I mean, I love you, so if I can't make it work with you, then it'll never work with any woman, because you're perfect for me.<br /> |

* ''[[Happily Divorced]]'' averts this trope. In the case of that show, the husband has ''always'' been gay, but he doesn't reveal it to his wife until they've been married for a long time and he wants a divorce so he can live a gay life. Bonus points for being based on star Fran Drescher's real life. |

* On ''[[Roseanne]],'' Arnie was obviously bummed when his ex-wife Nancy came out of the closet. His friends tried to jokingly reassure him that he was just so virile that Nancy knew no other man could compete. |

* Robin is this for Ethan in ''[[ |
* Robin is this for Ethan in ''[[Shortpacked]]''. She already suspects that he's gay, but is persuing him anyway. He's not interested.

||
* Melissa & Justin in ''[[ |
* Melissa & Justin in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. Melissa is also inadvertently responsible for outing him in the more traditional sense, since afterwards she told her sister, the town's biggest gossip, about it. |

* Condie Ling from ''[[ |
* Condie Ling from ''[[Rick and Steve]]'' turned Rick gay in college (in his own words). She's since become a [[Fag Hag]] (with suicidal tendencies [[Black Comedy|played for laughs]]) since it is inferred that he wasn't the only person to whom it happened. |
