History Main / EvenTheGuysWantHim

* Angel Dust from ''Hazbin Hotel'' might not be an in-universe example, but is definitely this among the franchise's real-world fans, partially because he is drawn to be deliberately sexually confusing with his chest fluff groomed to resemble boobs.

* ''VisualNovel/ShukufukuNoCampanella'': Leicester. Even Golem blushes around him.

* ''VisualNovel/KoiToSenkyoToChocolate'': Yuuki is a ChickMagnet and Oboro has a blatant crush on him.

--->'''Orzabal''': I just wanted to see Curt jogging every morning with his hairy legs and shorts, all smiley and handsome.

* Check out the ''ComicBook/MarvelStarWars'' comics. In one issue, there's a species, the Zeltrons, who are attracted to Force-sensitives. So when Luke Skywalker is on Zeltros, he naturally gets a legion of fangirls. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar And one fanboy]].

-->'''Orzabal''': We were young, we were good-looking, [[LongHairedPrettyBoy especially Curt]].

** Scarecrow pretty much has a huge fetish for fear. Batman is the only thing that scares him anymore and so he keeps fighting him so that he can feel that sweet taste of fear once again. There's also an twisted FoeYay tension to him constantly attempting to break Batman's mind down through fear and expressing a dominant nature in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum''.

** Scarecrow pretty much has a huge fetish for fear. Batman is the only thing that scares him anymore and so he keeps fighting him so that he can feel that sweet taste of fear once again. Do the math.

* Franchise/{{Batman}}. Harley and Ivy both think that the Joker [[FoeYay only has eyes for Batman]] (and Harley is in love with the Joker) and the Joker has often professed affection towards Batman (complete with moments of desperate attention-needing). In the macabre ''Comicbook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'', which is a canon ''Batman'' comic, Joker slaps Batman on the butt and continually hits on him throughout the comic. The pages are lined with homoerotic content and an unnatural level of sexual tension. Several canon Batman comics have the Joker professing a sexual fascination with Batman, to [[ILoveTheDead nightmarish]] [[{{Yandere}} extents]]. This extends across some adaptions. He outright says Batman has a cute little ass in the video game.

* The FanWebComic ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [[http://www.entropymax.com/ R'r]]'' took the ViewerGenderConfusion of Yuuno to its logical conclusion. While he's not very lucky with the ladies, [[http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/6200/nanoharr57trkj9.png he's incredibly popular with the guys]] even before he got smacked with a GenderBender.

-->It's so wonderful. I think it's all a spectrum, right? Straight men can have — do have — crushes on other men. It doesn't make them gay, it doesn't make them bi. I was super-flattered. The guys that picked on me in middle school in Corona del Mar probably have a crush on me now. Maybe they had a crush on me then and that's why they picked on me.

* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', the only people who are not aroused by the [[BadassGay Custodes]] are the Emperor, Kitten and a couple of Inquisitors, regardless of their gender.

* Shi Woon of ''Manhwa/TheBreaker'' is already a ChickMagnet but also gets some male attention. Hyuk So Chun seems to be rather... fascinated with Shi Woon after their fight. The second time he sees him, we are treated the image of Hyuk gripping his chest over his heart and a few stronger heartbeats. I present you [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_breaker/v06/c043/9.html this]] if there were any doubts.
-->"That boy was the first to make my heart race like that time..."

** And Chun Woo I present you with [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/the_breaker/v06/c039/16.html this page]] Where Chun Woo asks if Shi Woon is his girlfriend.

* Tedd from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', without his OpaqueNerdGlasses, occasionally runs into this... and just thinking about it tends to weird him out.

* Tip from ''Webcomic/{{Skin Horse}}'', by the same author, is so attractive that [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=40137#157548 even male dogs want him]]. [[spoiler:When he himself is turned into a wolf, anyway]]. Not to mention [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=46115 Gavotte]] a literal HiveMind by virtue of being a swarm of bees. Who STILL wants Tip.
** And now that ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' has been defined as a sequel to ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' (to much {{Squee}} from... well, all the fans), the natural result is that Tip and Artie [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=48770 meet up]].
* [[http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20080906.html]] One strip of ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' was basically Lothar confessing his man-crush on Ron Perlman.
* Remember that guy on ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', and all the ladies were swooning and then that guy stood up and declared "I'm homosexual now?" Yeah? Remember that? That was great.
** He's a pilot, and he has great hair. ([[spoiler:I tell a lie, it's a wig]].) His name's Hank.
* In one ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' episode, Paulo declares to a group of Mike's female admirers that Mike [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c11/p3.html plays for the other team.]] Cue Mike's ''male'' fansquad.
* Though most of the characters in ''Webcomic/BlurTheLines'' are already gay, one of the main character's straight friends [[http://www.blur-the-lines.com/?p=56 would go for]] Creator/BradPitt.
* ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'' gives us [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=120 Ooh, Mr. Darcy]]. "Meanwhile in a 20-mile radius of this event: Bodices ripping, men turning gay."
%%* Just about every single male character in ''Webcomic/TheDreamer''.

* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' and its spinoff, ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' has Dillon as its primary candidate:
** Seeing him dressed up as ComicBook/BlackCanary or porn star Amber-Amber is often distracting for men; he can certainly attract a certain amount of passing straight male interest when he's in drag, and male readers are often prepared to agree that this is plausible.
** Impersonating Amber-Amber (Gary's favorite porn star) even got Gary to make out with him under the pretense of Dillon helping Gary learn how to do it right, albeit to no apparent lasting effect on Gary's sexuality or attitude to Dillon.
** Dillon has claimed to have "turned" several straight guys in the past with his Swirly-Go-Round kissing technique. ''However,'' after Ruby extracted some details from him, she pointed out that it was much more likely that they were bisexual or gay, but either in denial or using this claim as a way to brush Dillon off.
*** Dillon has also kissed his old crush Ray who thinks about how "hot" it was despite being straight and considers that he might be "a little bi". When Dillon reveals that he's gay and imagines Amber as Creator/ChrisHemsworth as Thor when he kisses her Ray admits "Any straight man could agree he's handsome."
*** It continues when a grown-up Julian, whom Dillon babysat when he was younger, shows up to confess that he has a crush on Dillon. He also ends up becoming an OfficialCouple with the male Jerzy, complete with sex and promises of marriage.
** Gary has attracted numerous girls with his good looks, geeky NiceGuy status as well as his skill with the Swirly-Go-Round oral sex technique. He's also attracted Dillon (gay) and Matt (bisexual) imagines his sexual partner with Gary's head, has thought about having sex with him and is willing to engage in a foursome with him. He's even managed to have Yuki, who's a lesbian, [[IfItsYouItsOkay make an exception for him]]. Also, James who's straight mentioned he wouldn't mind getting oral sex from Gary and thought about him while having sex with Tracy. Also when Gary GrewASpine during a talk with James and Tracy, James got horny, dreamily calling Gary “What a man!” and tried to get him to date him.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', every single member of [[spoiler:Jake English]]'s circle of friends has a crush on him, including the other boy, and (sort of) his AI duplicate.
** Justified in that the other boy ''is'', in fact, gay.
** {{Deconstructed}} a little later on. Because all of his friends have a thing for him, there isn't a single person he can go to to talk about any of this (until [[spoiler:Jane accidentally and inaccurately tells him she doesn't have a thing for him]], anyway), he's constantly having to tip-toe around sensitive subjects without letting anyone else find out what anyone else feels or that he knows about it, often questions whether it's even true in the first place or he's all just egotistically imagining it, and is showing signs of wanting to get together with one of them partly because he feels guilty about rejecting everyone.
* ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'': Skids. As in, girls want him, gays want him, bisexuals want him, and his best friend who's otherwise heterosexual wants him.
* ''Webcomic/{{Noblesse}}'' features Rai, the absolutely [[{{Bishonen}} gorgeous]] badass ChickMagnet and Dude Magnet. In particular, Shinwoo seems to think he's pretty hot.
* ''Manhwa/TheBreaker'' has Shi Woon.
** Hyuk So Chun seems to be rather... fascinated with Shi Woon after their fight. The second time he sees him, we are treated the image of Hyuk gripping his chest over his heart and a few stronger heartbeats. I present you [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_breaker/v06/c043/9.html this]] if there were any doubts.
-->"That boy was the first to make my heart race like that time..."
** There's also Mamungi, who has called Shi Woon cute ever since they met.
* Variant in ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'', where no less than two lesbians (admittedly, both pre-coming-out at the time) crush badly on Marshall.
* In ''WebComic/CommanderKitty'', CK's exploits have made him so famous that [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/01/03/good-to-be-back/ even the Cat President]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/01/11/doing-a-heck-of-a-job-butterball/ is smitten with him]]. [[spoiler: [[AllJustADream Of course, this is all just a dream]].]]
* The Elven King [[ThemeNaming Tegretol]] in ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'' seems this way with all of the Elves in his castle. It's also implied many of his admirers have [[EthicalSlut been with him]] as well.

* After Creator/PedroPascal won over ''Series/GameOfThrones'' fans with his compellingly charming performance as bisexual prince Oberyn Martell, he called it "[[https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-ca-st-sunday-conversation-pedro-pascal-20170922-htmlstory.html so wonderful]]" to learn that straight men dedicated a Reddit group to admitting that they had fallen in love with him.
-->I think it's all a spectrum, right? Straight men can have — do have — crushes on other men. It doesn't make them gay, it doesn't make them bi. I was super-flattered. The guys that picked on me in middle school in Corona del Mar probably have a crush on me now. Maybe they had a crush on me then and that's why they picked on me.

* Dorian in the 2009 version of ''Film/ThePictureOfDorianGray''. There is literally no one who can't be persuaded to screw him, regardless of gender. And age. And flight instinct. (You halfway expect James Vane to give it a go.)

* In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/400174/a-dance-on-the-mats A Dance on the Mats]], Caramel has a barely-veiled affection for the [[MrFanservice well-muscled]] Anon: asking him to carry his books, do housework, offering him snacks, and rubbing his thumb along his hand. Anon [[ObliviousToLove is oblivious]], until the very end of the story.

* Music/DavidBowie's character Jack Celliers in the film ''Film/MerryChristmasMrLawrence'' has this effect on the Japanese POW commandant Captain Yonoi, due to his evident heroic qualities and respectable integrity. The entire plot of the movie is actually driven by this instance of [[EvenTheGuysWantHim distanced man-love]].

* A pair of lyrics from Gaston's VillainSong (sung by his biggest fanboy [=LeFou=]) in ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' sound...[[AccidentalInnuendo interesting]]:

* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': It's implied that this happened to [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] in the past, as he [[BiTheWay slept with both male and female partners]] before the "Twilight of the Alicorns". Golden Scepter also attracted [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]], who thinks that he's "incredibly handsome" despite his [[TimeAbyss vast age]], and has considered bedding the Radiant Emperor at one point. However, Temnobog has refused to act on his basic urges because doing so will not only irrevocably ruin his friendship with Golden Scepter, but also [[{{Hypocrite}} make him appear no different than the followers of "careless/destructive" Evil that he hates]], thus proving to [[AbusiveParents Irminsul]] that he's no better than the Evils that must be destroyed to benefit mortal Deerkind.

** Tommy Elliot, [[BiTheWay seems to favor the guys]], and is shown as getting many to bed with him in an episode merely by using a flirtatious look.

[[folder:Fan Fic]]
* Naruto and Sasuke get this in slash fics sometimes when paired with each other or with other guys. ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7430301/2/Taste_of_Your_Lips The Taste Of Your Lips]]'' is an example of other guys wanting Sasuke and Sasuke in turn wanting Naruto.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' is a major LauncherOfAThousandShips so in slash fics featuring him he's this most of the time. Particularly in "Northort Academy Chronicles" by CrystalIceSweet on fanfiction.net. It's lampshaded in the fic with [[CrazyJealousGuy Francois]] (who's also in love with Harry) muttering jealously at David, their flight attendant's behavior around Harry "Geez, what is it with you and barely legal twinks? You're like catnip to him."
* Ash in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has attracted the attention of many a girl in both the canon and rebooted timeline, but in [[BeachEpisode Chapter 36]], even a few guys try to approach him. Pikachu implies this was the case even in the previous timeline, though the author chose not to specify who.
* In the ''Jem'' oneshot ''Fanfic/GlitterReunion'', Riot's son Raoul inherited his dad's good looks and charisma. He has many fangirls ''and'' fanboys.
* [[spoiler: Kirishima]] has this reaction when Izuku strips during the Heroes vs Villains Exercise in ''Fanfic/QuirkIncubus''.
--> [[spoiler: '''Kirishima''']]: ...okay, yeah, I was questioning before, [[ClosetKey but now I KNOW I'm gay]].

Has the DistaffCounterpart of EvenTheGirlsWantHer, and for intersex characters, EverybodyWantsTheHermaphrodite. The male form of HelloNurse and the polar opposite of the CasanovaWannabe. If the male character is wanted only by other male characters despite there also being females present they fall into OnlyHasSameSexAdmirers. However, they can also develop into this.
