{{quote|''"I fly to Los Angeles. I am seated across the aisle from [[Kurt Russell]]. Now, listen: I am a happily married man. But I am not embarrassed to say that [[Kurt Russell]] is an extremely handsome man.

[[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|You are completely heterosexual, you are very much attracted to the opposite sex and you certainly aren't gay]]. But, y'know, there are some examples of the same sex who you can't help but admire. You can appreciate good looks and a sexy body regardless of gender. If taken far enough you just might say something that [[Mistaken for Gay|sounds wrong even in context]]. Indignation usually follows.
This often doesn't mean anything significant regarding your overall sexual orientation, though often you are just as caught off guard as the people around you. When applied to specific individuals who tend to provoke this response to people in general, see [[Even the Guys Want Him]] and [[Even the Girls Want Her]].
Line 20:
Compare [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]], [[Gay Moment]], [[Even the Guys Want Him]].

Line 29:
* The ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' short "Viral's Sweet Dream" is pretty much all about Viral's issues with this.
{{quote| '''Viral:''' Why was I dreaming of ''Kamina''!? Well, I guess I'm allowed to have sweet dr-NO, NO! NOT SWEET! ''NOT SWEET!''}}
** Most [[Even the Guys Want Him|male fans]] [[Badass|understand]] [[Crazy Awesome|this]] [[If
* In ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'', most of Ranma's classmates find themselves attracted to his [[Gender Bender|female form]], even though they ''know'' that he's really a guy. The reason for this is most likely that he's susceptible to extreme [[Clothing Damage]], especially in his [[Gender Bender|female form]], and that his curse actually gives him the real body of a girl.
** To quote one chapter of the manga, "We don't care! She's still hot!" ... much to the disgust of the female classmates.
Line 78:
'''Deadpool:''' I REALLY FIND YOU VERY ATTRACTIVE!<br />
'''Thor:''' ...<br />
'''Deadpool:''' [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]? }}
* One issue of ''[[Spider-Man]]'' had the titular hero go headfirst through the windshield of a car where one male police officer is commenting about Spider-Man's form-fitting costume to his male partner. After a beat panel, the first officer points out Spider-Man's toned butt.
* Willow engenders this reaction in Buffy's roommate Anaheed in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] Season 9'' #1:
Line 159:
'''Fascist:''' Thanks. If I was homosexual I'd have a pint of lager.<br />
''([[Dramatic Pause|awkward pause]])''<br />
'''Hugh:''' [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|As it is, I like birds.]]<br />
'''Fascist:''' Me too! }}
* [[House (TV)|House]] and Wilson appraising coworker Chase:
Line 167:
'''Wilson:''' [agrees] You kinda are. }}
* Remember, [[Generation Kill|you're not gay if you think Rudy is hot.]]
* Phoebe, during her brief time as [[The Empath]], nearly had to flee the room during one episode of ''[[Charmed (TV)|Charmed]]'' because of a man who had the hots [[Brother
* In "Tommy's Not Gay" of ''[[Titus]]'', Titus has a moment in the neutral space where he talks about how everyone has had at least one moment where they are flipping through a Muscle Magazine "'cause you're a man" and upon seeing a well-toned man, he talks about his large biceps, ripped abs, and he briefly starts swaying his hips before he realized what he was doing. Throwing the magazine while screaming, he quickly did five push-ups and walked off, talking about going to a strip-club.
* An episode of the American ''[[Breakfast Time]]'' had Suzanne Whang interview Talisa Soto when the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' film came out; when they sit down on the couch, Suzanne does a double-take, is momentarily rendered speechless and says "OH! I'm sorry, I was startled by how beautiful you are!"
Line 197:
== Music ==
* [[Roy Zimmerman]]'s song ''Dick Cheney (Sexiest Man Alive)'' is about this trope.
{{quote| ''I'm not gay... but [[Squick|there's]] [[If
* A song by Draco and the Malfoys titled "Tom Felton's Kinda Hot" embodies this particular trope.
{{quote| ''And even though I'm straight, I'm not ashamed to say: Tom Felton's kinda hot.''}}
Line 233:
** And Bridget is famed for causing this in fans. [[Memetic Mutation|Everyone's gay for Bridget!]]
*** And has [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|his own trope]] for it, as seen above.
* This is apparently a problem for players of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', which carried over to Snake's appearance in ''[http://www.gamespot.com/users/macrules_640/view_image?id=btcJsksi7hqc4h7lkQ Super Smash Bros. Brawl]''. The fact that his [[Limit Break|Final Smash]] does end up putting his ass in your face doesn't help (neither does the fact that the section about it on Nintendo's official site actually has a screenshot ''paused on that one moment'').<br />On the ''Brawl'' official site, there's one shot of him manhandling Ike in an ambiguous manner, one shot of him posing serenely while fondling the [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|rocket launcher resting between his legs]], and one shot of him kicking at the camera with what probably qualifies as '[[Panty Shot|upskirt]]'. Four of the other screenshots have his incredibly shapely buttocks right at the focal point of the picture, as well as his "Congratulations!" screen when you beat Classic mode, and his pose on the character scroll in the opening cinematic, and his pose whenever he loses a match. For a manly male character, he does a ''lot'' of [[Mr. Fanservice|cheesecake]].
* For [[Nerds Are Sexy|some bizarre reason]], a certain [[Image Board]] with a not-hidden gay crush on Snake also has this problem with the Medic from ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]''.
* In an odd femme jealousy subversion of this, Serra from ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Blazing Sword'' starts trying to lay out terms of being around the camp to this beautiful blond girl who just joined their ranks. During the conversation Serra discovers this beautiful blond girl is a Monk named Lucius, and Lucius is quite certain he is in fact a monk, and male. However, given he looks like [http://fireemblemblog.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/lucius.jpg this] it's hard to blame her for her conclusion.
Line 276:
* This happens in ''[[Darwins Soldiers]]'', to which Aimee mentions how she can see how Hailey thought that Subject 19 was cute.
* In his ''[[Independence Day]]'' review, [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] has this with [[Will Smith]].
