TruthInTelevision. Sometimes, the experience of getting a girlfriend gives men newfound confidence that makes them more attractive to other women. Sometimes, the fact that a man isn't on the hunt anymore makes them more relaxed and natural and thus less awkward. Finally, the fact that he has a girlfriend signals to other women that there is ''something'' desirable about him, an effect which in RealLife is called "pre-selection" or "social proof." There's also a belief that after having sex, a man releases pheromones that make him more desirable (again going back to the "proven desirable" mentioned above.) This may or may not bode well for the relationship.

* Touma in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' is not an example. It's stated that his teacher and all of his classmates, and a great many other females, are attracted to him, or at least find him cute because of his bad luck, before Index comes along.

* George Costanza of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' once heard that women dig married guys, so he goes to a party wearing a wedding band and pretending to be married. Pretty much every woman there comes onto him, when they likely wouldn't have looked twice at him otherwise. Of course, [[MortonsFork he doesn't get anywhere with them because they all think he's married]].
-->'''Woman:''' So, uh, are you really married? Because I've ''actually'' heard of single guys who wear wedding bands to attract women!\\
'''George:''' ''[nervously chuckling]'' You would have to be a real ''loser'' to try something like that...\\
'''Woman:''' That's too bad, because I really have a thing for bald guys with glasses. ''[leaves]''

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has an... interesting take on this; when Negi asks to speak to Ku Fei after class, a bunch of the other girls automatically assume he likes her and begin making their own attempts to win him. Of course, after they all work themselves up over it, it turns out that he wanted learn martial arts from her.
** It also happens in a more traditional sense. Nodoka confesses to him and explains to the other girls that she likes his maturity and determination. Cue numerous other girls beginning to be attracted to him for the same reasons. Up to and including ''[[RobotGirl a robot]]''.

This can also happen even when the girl is still only a LoveInterest, which makes it even harder for the guy to beat off the other girls and convince her that she's his OneTrueLove ([[FirstGirlWins which she is]]). It also makes it harder for him to beat off in general, but that's another story entirely.
