Adding new entry under literature: C J. Cherry's Foreigner-verse.

Added DiffLines:

* In the Foreigner-verse by ''Creator/CJCherryh'', there is such a relationship between the main human character, Bren Cameron, and one of his assigned alien bodyguards, Jago, who finds his small size amusing and cute (the "aliens" are much taller than the humans usually on this planet). Also, the humans are technically the "aliens" here, since they were forced to land on the planet after a malfunction left them stranded far from their intended destination.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'': Xizor's people, [[HumanoidAlien the]] [[LizardFolk Falleen]], have skin that's bright green. It changes to a light orange when they're aroused. Aside from having little hair (enough to form a topknot) plus slightly ridged skin, except for the skin they're pretty indistinguishable from Humanity and considered very attractive (however much of that's due to their [[LoveIsInTheAir pheromones]]). In the book, Xizor is a GenderFlipped version of this, though given his pheromones cause women (Leia included) to experience a strong attraction which they can rarely resist, it's more predatory than most other examples.

** ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks shows just how annoying it is to be considered from this race. Ensign D'Vana Tendi is an orion who doesn't at all [CulturalRebel live up to the stereotype]]. Instead of the usual sexual predators and pirates that most Orion are considered, she is a sweet and socially awkward medic. When Mariner creates a holodeck program that plays out like a stereotypical action movie, she recasts Tendi as a pirate in a skimpy outfit and Tendi walks out of the program in disgust after one too many comments about her race.

** Quite a few examples in the revival series, including [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia Chantho]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld Jabe]] — the former has mandibles and the latter is technically an Earth-descended [[PlantAliens humanoid tree]]. The revival also has (male and female) [[TheReptilians Silurians]] for those not put off by scales, in stark contrast to their appearance in the original series.

* Between Worlds by J.L. Williams plays with this. The Shil'vati clearly qualify as this for humans, but human males also qualify for them. Many of the Shil'vati, who suffer from a large gender disparity, would consider Earth a pleasure planet if it weren't for active human resistance fighters.

They need not actually be green, and blue seems to be a more prominent color nowadays (presumably due to LittleGreenMen becoming a DeadHorseTrope).

One big reason green and blue are favorite skin colors for otherwise-human aliens, [[WordOfGod according to most creators]], is because there's no RealLife human equivalent among human ethnic groups, reducing the chances of UnfortunateImplications.

to:

It's usually assumed as a matter of course that the attractive alien chick will also be attracted to human men, although this is changing as writers become more aware of the need to address pervasive heteronormative biases in society. If she turns out to [[LipstickLesbian like human women]] instead, she may be an example of DiscountLesbians. Occasionally, creators go even further in subverting gender expectations by revealing that the sexy space babe is really a ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady male]]'' of "her" species.

UnfortunateImplications. Still, in most cases the attractive alien will nonetheless sport [[ButNotTooBlack white European facial features]], thus upholding the hegemony of Eurocentric beauty standards in the media.
