* In ''RagnarokDetectiveLoki'', or whatever we call it today, Loki's "true unsealed" form seems to have this effect on basically anyone. Even the female protagonist seems affected, and he's got a literal InstantFanclub following him all over the place with heart-shaped eyes.

** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in ''YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', where sexy theme music plays every time he opens his mouth -- which the other characters find annoying.

----

* 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. But 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
* 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.

* In ''Literature/ASoundOfThunder'' (the 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.

* Subverted in ''Catch Me if You Can,'' in which Abegnale escapes an airport filled with FBI agents by tricking hot college girls into posing as flight attendants. He strolls right by two police officers in his pilot costume, and all they can say is "I wish I was a pilot." Also counts as a [[CrowningMomentofAwesome crowning moment of awesome]].
* TheWitchesOfEastwick

** Parodied rather amusingly in a new SpecSavers advert.

* Count Vinny from ''{{Erfworld}}'' summons some [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Archons]] with a snap of his fingers [[http://www.erfworld.com/book-1-archive/?px=%2F073.jpg Here]].

* In ''ASoundOfThunder'' (the 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.

* The "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" episode of ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' pretty much epitomizes this trope, though in that particular case it is magic-induced. Quickly proves to be a case of BlessedWithSuck, as the women begin to compete with each other, before deciding that if they can't have Xander, ''[[AxeCrazy nobody can]]''.

Often, the {{Casanova}} emits an aura of sex appeal. This aura is such a powerful force of attraction that at times, it seems like women are literally incapable of extricating themselves from him. They lose all sense of shame, crawl all over him, and are outright ''ecstatic'' if he pays any individual attention to them. The harem won't even mind the fact that he's dealing with the affections of several women at once, and hardly even views them as distinguishable.

* Duke Devlin from ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'' has this immediate impact on the school environment once he appears. For extra implausibility points, he pulls this off with card tricks. Lucky for him card games in ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' is SeriousBusiness.

* Gaius Baltar gets one in Season 4 of ''BattlestarGalactica''.

----

** A later episode, "Him", centers around a high school student who has this effect on any woman who he speaks to, to include his classmate Dawn, Dawn's older sister (and school counselor) Buffy, and [[BeyondTheImpossible lesbian]] Willow. Also a case of magic in this case (though different magic from Xander's situation), and heading towards similar results as the first case. This time, however, the kid had no idea what was going on.

* The "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" episode of ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' pretty much epitomizes this trope, though in that particular case it is magic-induced.

* WitchesOfEastwick

** Well, ''are'' talking about [[EvenTheGuysWantHim The Fonz]] here, or at least the ''{{Flanderized}}'' Fonzie; before this, he was just a loser-mechanic who scored the lowest female trash in Milwaukee.

* ''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.]]

* Never quite played straight in Disney's ''{{Aladdin}}''. The chorus girls start out mockingly describing Aladdin's charm as a street urchin, and mostly seem to praise him as Prince Ali because of Genie's magic. Their counterpoint adoration of him during the "Prince Ali" song is ''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome]]'', regardless.

* Happens to Kuzco in an episode of "TheEmperorsNewSchool" when he drinks a potion that makes every girl see him as a hunk... it does not turn out well.

* Gaston in Disney's ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast''. His fangirls appear to be identical triplets.

* [[CuteShotaroBoy Hani]] already had a fan-club before joining the ''OuranHighschoolHostClub''. Tamaki and the twins also seem to attract a great deal of fangirls. Even [[AttractiveBentGender Haruhi]] has extreme {{chick magnet}} powers despite lacking the '[[{{Bifauxnen}} man]]' part of this trope, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even to those who know]]. Also at least a few guys, who [[SweetOnPollyOliver tend to feel a bit uncomfortable about it]].

Well, ''are'' talking about [[EvenTheGuysWantHim The Fonz]] here, or at least the ''{{Flanderized}}'' Fonzie; before this, he was just a loser-mechanic who scored the lowest female trash in Milwaukee.

Well, that last part is sort of forgivable. Because the harem in this context isn't distinguishable. The vast majority of the time, the women in this harem are characters who are irrelevant to the plot at large. Heck, they'll be lucky if they even get [[NominalImportance names]]. Their purpose isn't to actually do anything except show that the guy in question is meant to be lusted after. Bear in mind that they'll usually ignore all of his dialogue with other characters even if he's talking about them.

* Everyone is {{shotacon}} for [[MahouSenseiNegima Negi Springfield]], so he's gotten this on occasion.
** It gets even worse when Asuna force feeds him his own LovePotion because she doesn't think it will work. [[LoveIsInTheAir It does.]]
*** Though oddly not on ''[[AntiMagic her]]''.

** The commentaries for Ouran even point out the bit about the fangirls not having names, apparently they keep track of recurring fangirls by the formula <character being lusted after><distinctive trait of hair> ex: twins girl blond

* [[DGrayMan General Cross Marian]] has this effect on women. As Allen Walker unwittingly demonstrates, the mere act of talking about him causes nearby women to swoon with what can only be explained as a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] [[TheDulcineaEffect Dulcinea-Effect]].

* There's a rarely recurring pin that Jughead has in Archie comics that not only draws every woman not related to him (we hope) to him with insatiable lust, but it also makes the chronic girl-hater actually love the attention.
** Another one-shot comic has Reggie claim that this happened to him on vacation, with various nationalities of bimbos featured.

* 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

* In ''A SoundOfThunder'' (the 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.

* [[HappyDays The Fonz]] can get a whole herd of woman to flock to his side by simply snapping his fingers. An {{Outtake}} showed the guys of the show mocking this characteristic by going in place of the girls after the finger snap.
** Hey, we're talking about [[EvenTheGuysWantHim The Fonz]] here.
*** The ''{{Flanderized}}'' Fonzie; before this, he was just a loser-mechanic who scored the lowest female trash in Milwaukee.
* [[GossipGirl Chuck Bass]].
** If you can get past the {{Narm}}, that is.

** 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.
*** And a little blue pill.
*** Six of one, seven of the other. This editor found a theory that old men who can provide are more attractive than young men who can do as well; any young man can provide stamina and vigor, but an old dude needs to be really fit to do as well, and thus is a better mate.
