Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Difference between revisions

* ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' has every female fall for the phantom thief Dark, with the exception of {{spoiler|Riku Harada}} who falls in love with the [[Nice Guy|sweet, good-natured Daisuke.]]

* ''Gakuen Babysitters'': The protagonist Ryuuichi Kashima is shown to be incredibly popular with girls due to his [[Nice Guy]] behavior and [[Friend to All Children|fondness for kids]]. In particular, [[Shrinking Violet|Ushimaru]] is shown to be smitten with him, and [[Tsundere|Inomata]] [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosts]] upon seeing his hard work in taking care of the kids at the academy.

 

== Comic Books ==

* All of the [[Love Interests]] for the Female Protagonist in ''[[Persona 3]] [[Updated Rerelease|Portable]]'' are this. To wit, Akihiko Sanada is standoffish and [[Oblivious to Love]] but mostly is because he's still hurting from his [[Dead Little Sister]], Shinjiro Aragaki has a [[Badass]] exteror but has a [[Hidden Heart of Gold]], Ryoji Mochizuki is a [[Casanova Wannabe]] but is kind hearted and Ken Amada is a [[Cute Shotaro Boy]] with a [[Precocious Crush]]. (And if you count [[Mission Control|Theodore]] as a love interest of sorts, he also qualifies here.)

* Similarly, in ''[[Persona 4]]'' the [[Silent Protagonist]] will get the affections of the girls with more ease when he shows them kindness and understanding, thus helping them resolve their issues.

* In [[Guilty Gear]], Elphelt's entire theme suggests she's trying to find a husband. She dresses like a bride, and many of her attacks have a wedding-theme, like a bouquet used as a sword, popping champagne like a projectile, and placing the opponent on wedding cake, which she slices in two. Her OTK move is a shotgun version of a [[Love Potion]], forcing the opponent to fall in love with her. Sadly, while this last move assures victory, it does not assure capitulation, especially with characters like Venom and Zato, who are in love with someone else.

 

== Western Animation ==

* There was an episode of ''[[All Grown Up!]]'' where Betty said something along the lines of "All girls date a Z, but then they settle down and marry a Howie."

* ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'' hints that Jenny will eventually pick Sheldon because she's sick of smooth operators, and wants someone sweet and sincere. Sheldon walks by, and she greets him, still wondering where she can find someone like that. Confirmed by [[Word of God]] after the series' cancellation.

* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' dated the nice guys. [[My Girl Is Not a Slut|The two of them]].

* The reason Aelita fell for Jeremie in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' seems to be his persistence in helping and trying to make her happy without seeking thanks or reward.

* Heloise, the sadistic [[Mad Scientist|girl genius]] who works for a company that brings misery to others in Miseryville; falls for the sweet, [[The Pollyanna|optimistic]], ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. According to [[Word of God]], one reason is that there's "something about sweet, innocent guys that appeals to the last shred of humanity in her".

** Also Mai seems to have been attracted to Zuko in the first place, exactly because he was not a megalomanic [[Aristocrats Are Evil|evil aristocrat]] like his father and his sister. They only get back together after he gets over his anger issues (during the [[Troubled but Cute]] phase he is in for the early half of the series) and returns to being a nice friendly young prince. While she's seriously pissed about him leaving in the dark of the night to join the Avatar, she's impressed enough by his descision to do the right thing that she fights Azula to cover his escape.

** Ty Lee, who was also inspired by Mai's aforementioned turn to finally revolt against Azula as well, has typical Fire Nation college party dudes dreaming about being with her. Yet who's she got a crush on? [[Plucky Comic Relief|Sokka]].
