A Testosterone Brigade is easily attracted by hints of [[Les Yay]] or by [[Fan Service]] from main characters. See also [[Multiple Demographic Appeal]]. When the producers or creators notice this demographic and make a "girly" show that's actually aimed at men, it's [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Little Girls?]].

* Most male fans of [[Kaichou wa Maid
* [[Fruits Basket]] has a ton of male fans, but mostly because of the story/characters, though they certainly would've enjoyed some more eye candy

* The same could be said of ''[[True Blood]]'' and other female-targeted [[HBO]] shows, for much the same reason.
* ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''. Its description on this wiki even describes it as "not a porn mag, but a US TV drama."

The biggest male fandoms are for basketball and volleyball (as both feature [[Statuesque Stunner]]s and the former has a hefty amount of [[Hot Amazon|sexy Amazons]]), with a third being softball (for the cuteness factor). The players themselves react varyingly: some love and embrace the attention (which is particularly noticeable by all the Instagram profiles these girls run often racking in ''hundreds of thousands of followers'') while others would like the fans to keep it about the sport.
