Line 73:
** Interestingly, [[Jane Austen]] takes the opposite approach to the trope in her next novel ''[[Mansfield Park]]'', where Henry Crawford and his sister are both fully aware that the only reason he wants to make Fanny Price fall in love with him is because she's the first girl who doesn't fawn over him and crave his attention. The difference from ''P&P'' is that [[It's All About Me]] in Crawford's case.
** [[Gender Flip|Gender flipped]] in Austen's ''[[Emma]]'', where Emma falls in love with Mr. Knightley, the only person on Earth who doesn't worship her or treat her like she's perfect.
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** In ''[[
** In ''[[
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' has a variation: "I love you because I can't read your mind." He actually can, and regularly ''does,'' control her.
** Also, it's implied that it's supposed to be because Bella is way too good to fall for looks alone... except that's all she talks about when she describes Edward, so the meaning is lost.
