Line 112:
* Some of the "most important people" for the HiME of ''[[My-HiME]]'' are based on romantic love. These include Mai's second MIP Yuuichi (who is also Shiho's); Akane's MIP Kazuya, Shizuru's object of affection, Natsuki, which may be reciprocated on Natsuki's part.
* In ''[[Berserk]]'', Casca reached the realization that her place was in Guts' heart, so that not only she could love him, but for Guts to love her as well. [[They Do|And the feeling is mutual.]]
* In ''[[Yuri!!! on Ice]]'', Victor Nikiforov assigns Yuuri Katsuki a skating program set to a song titled "On Love: Eros", which is very sensuous in both melody and moves. Yuuri, who has never been in love and is a very shy and self conscious person, initially has trouble connecting with the program and the song, but as he practices it more and gets closer with Victor, he gets it better on it. {{Spoiler|It eventually becames very obvious ''why'' Victor assigned said choreography to Yuuri: he was actually infatuated with the Japanese skater since he saw Yuuri's most uninhibited side under the influence of alcohol, but because Yuuri forgot that incident once sober Victor decided to convey his feelings in a way that could connect them better.}}

* [[Ayn Rand]], in her novel ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'', [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructs the trope]] as well as [[Gender Flip|gender-flips]] it via the character of James Taggart. James wants to be loved, but not for anything he actually does. Rather, he wants to be loved for himself. Not for the benefits he might bring into the life of the person that loves him. Not for any of his virtues or good qualities. He says that he wants to be loved for himself. Ultimately, what he truly wants is to be loved ''for absolutely no reason at all''; i.e., [[Strawman Political|loved despite his own worthlessness]].
