** The former [[Trope Namer]], both played straight and [[Deconstructed Trope]]: Ranma's status as a chick magnet gives the [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] a fairly debilitating guilt trip. But though he's not enough of a cad to abuse the situation, it also soothes his [[Testosterone Poisoning|manly]] [[Pride]]... badly battered by his [[Attractive Bent Gender]] curse. And though all the girls involved adore him, they're also rather exasperated by his [[Cannot Spit It Out|wishy-washy]] attitude. It should be no surprise that the end-of-series {{spoiler|attempted marriage}} ended in a {{spoiler|[[Blast Out]]}}.
** Somewhat subverted during the Reversal Jewel arc when Shampoo, under the jewel's effect, attempts to leave the harem, Ranma rather insistently runs after her to get it back, at first because of her abrupt change of temperament, thanthen due to his ego rather than true feelings. Lampshaded by Cologne when she notes that he got so used to Shampoo chasing him, he ''had'' to find out why she stopped.
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in Episode 4 of Season 2, "Behold! The 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire' Technique", where it's indicated (by way of [[Flash Back]]) there are at ''least'' two girls whose fathers Genma promised Ranma to long before he is even introduced to the rest of the cast. Ranma [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades]] this by asking 'How many more fiances do I have, anyway?' at the end of the episode.
** Akane. Especially at the beginning of the series where every morning before school she has to fight her way past a bunch of guys who think that if they beat her, then she has to go out with them.
