Line 61:
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' plays this trope straight, with the [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Tsundere]] [[Action Girl]] Rosette and the [[Shrinking Violet]] [[Nice Guy]] Chrono, who also qualify as a mild example of [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]].
* ''[[One Piece]]'':
** Boa Hancock falls in love with Luffy [[Because You Were Nice to Me|Because He Was Nice To Her]]. Well, that, and him being [[I Love You Because I Can't Control You| the only man able to resist her powers]], ''and'' because he punched out a [[Aristocrats Are Evil|World Noble]], one of only two people in the world with the guts to go through with it.<ref>The other being Saint Donquixote Mjosgard, [[Token Good Teammate| who is himself a World Noble]].</ref> {{spoiler|And the World Nobles were those who actually enslaved and tortured Hancock and her sisters nearly into insanity, making her the... really troubled person she is.}}
** It is unlikely that ''any'' fictional character has tried harder to find a husband than Charlotte Lola has, having asked - at last count - 4452 men to marry her, including all of the male members of the Straw Hats, even the non-human Chopper and the undead Brook. They all said no. If [[Gonk| her appearance]] doesn't turn them away, her habit of coming on too strong will; it tends to be the first thing she asks upon meeting men. Luckily, she takes rejection in stride, and she still shows no signs of giving up.
*** Ironically, Charlotte left her mother's employ in order to escape an [[Arranged Marriage]], something Big Mom did with many of her daughters to extend her family's influence. Charlotte's attitude is, if she ''ever'' marries, it will be to someone ''she'' chooses.
*** And {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending| she ''finally'' succeeded on the 4453rd try]], with Goti (a member of Capone Bege's crew) falling in love with her, and their wedding illustated on the cover of chapter 993.}}
* ''[[Naruto]]'': While all the other girls like Sakura and Ino were drooling over "[[All Girls Want Bad Boys|bad boy]]" Sasuke, Hinata Hyuuga never even noticed him, preferring the nice, cheerful, neglected titular character, Naruto Uzumaki.
** Asuma Sarutobi is a [[Former Teen Rebel]], but by the time he got together with the local [[Team Mom]] Kurenai, he had matured into a well-loved [[Team Dad]].
Line 85 ⟶ 86:
** Really, this applies to all the brothers: The main reason they can't get a girlfriend is because they're [[Jerkass|rude]], [[No Social Skills|socially inept]], and all around [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|terrible people]].
* Despite her dislike of muscular guys, Hibiki Sakura from ''[[How Heavy Are the Dumbells You Lift?]]'' falls in love with the bodybuilder Naruzo Machio because of his good nature.
* Despite Souma Mizuno from ''[[Fire in His Fingertips]]'' being [[A Man Is Always Eager|quite assertive when it comes to sex]], Ryo Fujihashi falls in love and eventually becomes his girlfriend because of his reliability and likes her for who she is unlike her last boyfriend who broke up with her [[Toilet Seat Divorce|just because she wanted to go to the same college as him.]] Likewise when he tried to change himself to be good enough for her, she changed him back, liking him the way he is.
