Chick Magnet: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

== Male ==

=== Anime and Manga ===

* Pick a [[Harem Anime]] protagonist. ''Any'' [[Harem Anime]] protagonist.

* In ''[[The Tainted Grimoire]]'', Luso has three girls who definitely likes him. They are Kanin, Anna and {{spoiler|Maria}}.

 

* ''[[Pootie Tang]]'': For the viewers, he's a [[Kavorka Man]], but none of the women in the film can (or want to) resist him. Of course, he rejects their affections until being tricked into losing his magical belt.

* The title character in ''[[Austin Powers]]: International Man of Mystery''. He also has allied female agents falling for him in the other movies.

* In ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'', Howard Stark is the straightforward ladies' man, as shown in his first appearance. Post-procedure Steve was able to catch the attention of Peggy, the foxy secretary and a starstruck blond due to a combination of his stage celebrity, Greek God physique, courage and [[Adorkable]] [[Nice Guy]] attitude.

 

=== Literature ===

* Laharl in the [[Disgaea Novels]] seems to fit this trope well. It seems in the novel he was able to attract multiple girls, this includes, Etna, Flonne, Jade {{spoiler|( Gordon and Jennifer's daughter ),}} and {{spoiler|Sakura}}

* Georgina and Dorothea in ''[[Sorcery and Cecelia]]''. The former is just that good-looking. The latter has a spell cast on her to make her irresistible to all men (and she hates it).

 

=== Live-Action TV ===

* [[Kamen Rider (TV series)|Hayato Ichimonji]] had three women fawning over him when he first debuted.

* John Crichton of [[Farscape]] so so much. In addition to his main love interest Aeryn, there was Gilina, Chiana, Jenavian, Jool...just about any female character to show up in the show instantly falls for Crichton or at least gets ship-teased with him pretty intensely.

 

=== Mythology ===

* Adonis of [[Greek Mythology]]. So handsome that two goddesses fell in love with him at first sight. Aphrodite took a shine to him when he was ''[[Squick|born]]'' and Persephone fell for him when he was about [[Shotacon|thirteen]]. It didn't end well for Adonis—when he eventually chose [[First Girl Wins|Aphrodite]], [[If I Can't Have You|a furious Persephone told]] Aphrodite's former lover [[Complete Monster|Ares]] about Aphrodite's new beau. Ares turned into a boar and attacked Adonis while he was out hunting. Since Ares is a jerk, he killed Adonis by [[Groin Attack|goring him in the crotch]].

* Diarmid O'Dyna of [[Celtic Mythology]] (who was Lancer in the aforementioned [[Fate/Zero]]) had this as an actual magical ability—any woman who looked at his face would instantly fall in love with him. One of these was a woman who caught sight of him at her own wedding party. Her husband-to-be [[Murder the Hypotenuse|didn't take it very well]].

 

=== [[Professional Wrestling]] ===

** It's probably more because Miz's character is basically that he is a massive tool, so he'd be the sort to provide an illustration of the concept.

* [[Daniel Bryan]] seems to be this in WWE, drawing the WWE Divas to him without even trying (or acting upon it). In one instance, he's got the Bella twins hanging on each arm.

 

=== Video Games ===

* Every protagonist in the [[Violated Hero]] game series is this. Since every [[All Women Are Lustful|women in the series is a rapist]], it's a case of [[Blessed with Suck]].

 

* Okazaki Tomoya of ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''. Ends up with six girls in love with him, and denies that any of them are.

* Hisao Nakai of ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' has five very good looking women as potential love interest within only three days of arriving at Yamaku. Its a pity that he is there because of his cogential arrythmia

** In the magical girl spin-off [[Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya|Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya]] Shirou has the unnoticed favours of Illyasviel von Einzbern, her Dark [[Alter Ego]] Kuro (think Illya in Archer fashion), their best friend Miyu and of course Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou and Luvia Edelfeldt. Also, he seems to have a questionably good relationship with [[Cool Big Sis]] Sella.

** Lancer from ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' has this as a literal superpower - any woman (without sufficient magical resistance, that is) who looks at his face is charmed to fall in love with him. This never goes well for him.

 

=== Web Comics ===

* Tip in ''[[Skin Horse]]'' even when he's [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=40132 transformed into a different species]

** So much so that he even has this effect on women who are so lesbian as to be ''[[Up to Eleven|off the Kinsey scale]]''.

 

=== Western Animation ===

 

== Female ==

=== Anime and Manga ===

* The title character of ''[[Miyuki-chan in Wonderland]]'' attracts the attention of <s>all the girls</s> everyone in the worlds she stumbles in, since they're all inhabited by girls only.

* While neither of the two protagonists in ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]'' have love interests hanging off them due to their [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]], Honoka is noted to get love letters from boys all the time. More relevantly, poor Nagisa is chagrined that she gets them from the ''girls'' all the time.

** Not entirely true. Nagisa had a very strong crush on Honoka's good friend Fuji P., while Honoka herself was in love with [[The Mole]], Kiriya, who ended up {{spoiler|dying, being reborn and presumably loosing his memory in the process.}}

* Yuria, Kenshiro's one true love from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', is sought after by a significant portion of the cast for one reason or another; most memorably by [[Rival Turned Evil|Shin]], but even big scary [[Noble Demon|Raoh]] fell for her ''hard.''

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'':

* Hino of ''[[Kiniro no Corda]]''.

* Kirie of ''[[Girls Bravo]]'' is both a [[Dude Magnet]] and a [[Even the Girls Want Her|Chick Magnet]].

* Karan of ''[[No. 6]]''.

 

** Although she tended to attract a [[Stalker with a Crush|particular type]] of man.

* In ''Chicago'', Roxie Hart imagines herself as a [[Dude Magnet]] (and a Marriage Proposal Magnet) in her "I'll be a star and boy will it be swell" song.

 

=== Literature ===

* Bella Swan of ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' fame. Apparently even her science teacher fancies her.

* Raven of ''[[Vampire Kisses]]'' has three guys after her at one time or another, the guys being Trevor, Jagger, and Alexander.

 

=== Live-Action TV ===

* Annie in ''[[Being Human (UK)]]''. Tully and Gilbert from Season 1; the [[Love Triangle]] with Hugh and Saul in Season 2; and now {{spoiler|Mitchell in Season 3.}}

* In one episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', "The Window", Ted recalls his longtime crush Maggie whom he never got to date because, as he describes her, she is "catnip for men".

 

=== Video Games ===

* The [[Distaff Counterpart|female protagonist]] of [[Updated Rerelease|Persona 3 Portable]] counts as a Dude Magnet. Junpei (the only male in SEES [[Platonic Life Partners|she cannot have a romantic relationship with]]) notes that a number of guys he talks to are interested in her. At least two of her Social Links develop feelings for her, although she can't have a relationship with them, another one calls her beautiful, and she is able to (optionally. As noted above, the game developers have realized that it ''is'' possible for boys and girls to just be friends) romance Akihiko (himself a Chick Magnet), [[The Cutie|Ken]], Ryoji {{spoiler|who eventually turns out to be an unwilling [[Big Bad]]}}, and Shinjiro {{spoiler|who is implied to have fallen for her whether the player chooses to become lovers with him or not}}. Then there's Theo...

 

* Osanai Shouko from [[Girls Love]] [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Aoi Shiro]]'' attracts a lot of [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|girls]] {{spoiler|up to having something dangerously close to [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]] sex}}. The fact that she's an extremely charming [[Sempai]] doesn't help, though it's more obvious when the story is related from other characters' point of view.

** It's more [[Justified Trope|justified]] in case of [[Akai Ito|Hatou Kei]]: she is [[Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious]], so a lot of characters want her as food. Most of them settles somewhere between treating her as blood dispenser and [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|lover]].

* Kaine from ''[[A Profile]]'', which is funny considering he's not even the protagonist. He actually gets more attention from girls than Masayuki does. {{spoiler|But if it wasn't for the fact that Masayuki hangs around with Miou, a suspected prostitute, he would get even more attention.}}
