Contrast TwinThreesomeFantasy and some cases of SiblingTriangle, where the third party goes for ''both'' siblings, and compare DopplegangerReplacementLoveInterest, which operates under the same logic as this trope.

Contrast TwinThreesomeFantasy and some cases of SiblingTriangle, where the third party goes for ''both'' siblings.

* In LoisMcMasterBujold's ''[[Literature/VorkosiganSaga Komarr]]'', Miles Vorkosigan meets the married Ekaterin Vorsoisson, and falls for her; he tells himself to ask if she has a sister.
** In the following ''A Civil Campaign'', Miles's cousin Ivan jokingly asks the same of Ekaterin, who is now either in mourning for her late husband or involved with Miles, or both. Unmarried women their age are in short supply on Barrayar.

* In ''SpinCity'', one of the ladies is talking about a guy she's dating. Apparently, he's charming, friendly, etc. Carter, the gay guy, asks:

* In Manga/WifeAndWife, when [[ReallyGetsAround Kanana]] decides to get [[LadykillerInLove serious about Shirayuki,]] [[Arata LoveAtFirstSight]] asks [[PolarOppositeTwins Kinana]] if she has ANOTHER sister.

* Played with in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'': When Ren doesn't quite believe that main protagonist Jerin is really very handsome, Odelia tells her to remember how the Whistler women look, and then imagine those features with a male body and long hair. Ren then has to admit that she ''would'' like to pursue such a man. However, it is not clearly said whether the Whistler women are absolutely [[HoYay out of the question.]]

* In ''GoblinHollow'', [[http://www.rhjunior.com/GH/00173.html a goblin's reaction to being skritched behind the ears.]]

* The ''HouseOfMouse'' episode in which TheThreeCaballeros are performing features this variation:
-->'''Daisy Duck:''' Are you guys here for the Three Candelabras' show? In case you didn't know, I'm dating the Third Candelabra. You know it's DonaldDuck, right?\\

* In an issue of the ''GIJoe'' comic, this question is asked, with the hilarious response: "Yes, and she's 9." [[http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1283:qmy-sister-she-be-nine-years-oldq&catid=32:seduction-index&Itemid=36 Nothing quite like outing yourself as a pedophile in the middle of a warzone.]]

* OlderThanPrint: A cross-gender example in ''Literature/TaleOfGenji'' occurs when Genji finds himself shot down by Utsusemi and more or less decides that her younger brother looks enough like her to...well, [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre you can guess]]. Back then, [[EveryoneIsBi this wasn't that rare]] with the nobles.

-->'''Woody Allen''': Jay, she's fantastic. [[LoveFatherLoveSonDoes she have]] [[TakeThat a daughter]]?

-->'''Woody Allen''': Jay, she's fantastic. Does she have a daughter?

* As [[ThePrincessAndTheFrog Charlotte]] finds out, Prince Naveen actually ''does'' have a brother. He's six and a half.
* In ''RevengeOfTheNerds II'', Poindexter is talking with a gorgeous woman by the pool. Two of his fellow nerds accost him on the way to get her a drink, and the gay one tells him to "find out if she's got a brother!" (Unfortunately, what none of them seem to have noticed is that the 'woman' in question is a cardboard cutout.)
* Absurdly, this provides the solution to the tangled double-love triangle in ''ThePalmBeachStory.''

-->'''Daisy Duck:''' Are you guys here for the [[MyNameIsNotDurwood Three Candelabras]]' show? In case you didn't know, I'm dating the Third Candelabra. You know it's DonaldDuck, right?\\

'''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Lumiere]]:''' Does he have a sister?

One of the romantic StockPhrases. Often spoken by a character to indicate that she finds someone attractive, but doesn't want to actually pursue him because he's already in a relationship, usually with one of the character's friends. Of course, this question assumes that [[PolarOppositeTwins the siblings are exactly]] [[CainAndAbel the same]]. Can also be [[GenderFlip gender reversed]], and if spoken by men about a woman, it's often ThoseTwoGuys saying it. These days it's also likely to be spoken by the CampGay in reaction to a straight man he finds attractive.

* In ''Film/ManOnFire'', Creasy asks his friend Rayburn if his wife has a sister after he's introduced to her. He's not serious though.

* In a non-romantic example, Pleakly says this to the Grand Councilwoman in ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'':
-->Councilwoman: A quiet capture would require an understanding of 626 that we do not possess! ''Who'' then, Mr. Pleakley, would ''you'' send for his extraction?
-->Pleakly: ...Does he have a brother? (Councilwoman rolls her eyes) Close grandmother, perhaps?

* Pleakly says this to the Grand Councilwoman in ''LiloAndStitch'':
-->Councilwoman: Then WHO, Mr. Pleakly, do you recommend for Experiment 626's capture?!
