It seems the only thing he has to do to get the girls is to ''show up''. And then he ends up in a long-term relationship with the series' equivalent of a ''goddess''.

* In ''A SoundOfThunder'' ([[SoBadItsHorrible the]] [[AdaptationDecay movie]], not the story), Travis is bet upon by his co-workers to bed a woman who they are working for that day. He succeeds without even doing anything -- she wanted him so badly that she convinced the doorman she was his cousin and went up to his apartment butt-naked for the chance to have sex with him. A later dialogue between Travis and the doorman implies that women apparently do this all the time.

* ''KongohBancho'' tends to subvert this pretty hard when it shows up. The first time occurs with [[WhitePrince Oyanana]] as an expression of how influential he is at school as the son of the school's chairman. After he's humbled by his encounters with the main character and stops relying on this influence, his "friends" all end up turning on him. [[spoiler: Fortunately, CharacterDevelopment kicks in and eventually makes him someone who earns the respect of others on his own merits.]] The other time this trope shows up, "White Rose" Bancho has a harem of beautiful young women as his underlings. [[spoiler: All it takes is for [[GuileHero Hikyou Bancho]] to make secret deals with each of them before one of them stabs him in the back in a bid for power, followed by all of them attacking each other thinking they're the one Hikyou Bancho wanted to team up with.]]

Their counterpoint adoration of him during the "Prince Ali" song is ''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome]]'', regardless.

* In ''Michael'', John Travolta's character has this power over most of the women in the film -- the sole exception being Dorothy, the female lead. Frank asks Dorothy at one point just what it is that women see in the angel. She doesn't have a clue. Michael lampshades the trope by claiming that he put a "block" on Dorothy.
** Justified: Michael is an angel, so it's not out of keeping for him to have magical powers. This is presumably the source of his power over women, and how he can arbitrarily "block" Dorothy

* Many, many advertisements for body spray. Character uses body spray product. Character becomes so sexy that all nearby women actually start ''attacking'' him to get after the sexy. At this point, this is used so much that it might as well be BrandX.
** Brilliantly self-parodied in the ''Hai Karate'' ads of the 70s, where the guy tries to fight off the girls using karate and HilarityEnsues.
** Another '70s ad, for a cologne called "Bacchus," pretended that this was the real secret of the Roman army's victories: they arranged to splash the stuff on the men of enemy towns, who are then mobbed by their own (all very beautiful) womenfolk. "Because when a man is irresistible to women, he has more interesting things to do than fight a war."
** Axe body spray probably takes the crown for this one, implying that it can render ''bathing'' unnecessary, and still drive women into a sexual frenzy. Sadly, many users believe it, if the smell on most college campuses is any indication.

* In ''GoodLuckChuck'', the main character is [[CursedWithAwesome "cursed"]] with the ability to have any woman who has sex with him find true love within a few days. The reason the word is in quotation marks is because apparently in this universe, women are so desperate for true love that they'll start throwing themselves at Chuck without abandon based solely on the Internet superstition that they'll find true love afterwards.



* TruthInTelevision. For Hugh Hefner anyway. The ability of a man to do this outside of the {{Playboy}} Mansion has yet to be demonstrated, though.
** I'd speculate that it's more about Hef's unfathomable wealth and connections than it is his raw sexuality; which, at this point, simply ''has'' to be running on fumes.
