* As a matter of cultural opinion, [[{{UsefulNotes/Japan}} Japanese]] women have the lowest average opinion of the romantic ability of their own country's male population, compared to women from any other country who have rated their own men. Japan is also a country where women (of all ages and social backgrounds) are far more likely to be fans of BoysLove, and these relationships are usually portrayed with far more frank romance than Japanese straight relationships. So, as a female Japanese culture-wide attitude, [[AllTheGoodMenAreGay All The Good Men]] ''[[AllTheGoodMenAreGay Are]]'' [[AllTheGoodMenAreGay Gay]]. [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench Or in Korean soap operas]].

* Described in the spoof country song, ''All the Men I've Loved are Either Married, Gay or Dead''.

Pretty much a cornerstone of all romantic media featuring women looking for Mr. Right: they eventually find a great guy with all the right things they're looking for - but it turns out he's homosexual, leading to the dismissive statement about straight men.

This is loaded with the UnfortunateImplication that only (and all) gay men possess the qualities - tenderness, consideration, etc. - women want and heterosexual men are pretty much primitive cavemen or [[AllMenArePerverts perverted]] {{Jerkass}}es who don't know how to act in public and treat other people.

Ironically, there is no shortage of gay men saying the reverse: that all the good men are taken or ''straight'', admiring the stereotypical positive traits of straight men (masculine mannerisms, straightforward with emotions, laid back attitude, etc.).

There's some TruthInTelevision here though; given [[HumansAreFlawed human nature]], [[HappilyMarried healthy relationships]] are a [[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/seller%27s+market seller's market]] - the most desired goods are either "previously purchased" or otherwise "unavailable for sale" -- on ''both'' sides.

Compare to IncompatibleOrientation, where Alice may still love Bob despite his orientation. Also compare SorryImGay where Bob may actually be straight and still trying to ward off her advances.

The FagHag is this trope turned UpToEleven and happens if Alice eventually gives up on straight men and prefers the company of gay men, even though she knows she will never get any of them.

The alternate version, "all the good men are gay or taken/married," is frequently parodied, with "all the good men are gay or [absurdly specific flaw]."

** Another Futurama example is the professional bully (a large, muscular man who will, for a nominal fee, pretend to harass you and try to steal your date at the beach so you can drive him off and impress her). After he reveals this particular fact, Leela takes an interest in him (Fry giving up in frustration at the first sand-kick probably had something to do with this), but he turns out to be into dudes.
*** That's the same example.

And Alice sighs. "Of ''course'' he is. All the good men are," she recounts to her best friend over a tub of Haggen-Dazs.

Alice sees Bob, a really cute guy at party. She introduces herself, and they hit it off. She gives Bob her number, Bob looks at her and says "Sorry, I'm gay."
