6	->''"A redhead on my left arm\
7	A brunette on my right\
8	A blonde or two to hold the candles\
9	Now that seems just about right, eh, Louis?"''
10	-->-- '''Prince Naveen''', ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', "When We're Human"
11
12	A common EstablishingCharacterMoment. A man walks into a room, arms intertwined with those of two conventionally attractive ladies, displaying them as trophies to show what a badass stud he is. Conversely, the ladies may get on his arms mid-scene just to imply that everything's goin' pimpin'.
13
14	Very commonly, the women [[NominalImportance won't have names]] (or, if the trope is PlayedForLaughs, the guy simply can't remember their names and refers to them with [[AccidentalMisnaming a wide range of incorrect names]]), nor will they say anything: they're just there to act as props for the male character. If they do get to speak, it'll probably only be to imply that they’re going to have sex with the man later. It is he who decides what they’re going to do and where they're going to go, while the ladies just follow around and agree with everything the stud says. After all, [[MenActWomenAre men are defined by their actions and women by their passiveness]].
15
16	"A lady on each leg" is a variant of this trope that takes place when the man is sitting down, with the women at his feet. Or perhaps even one sitting on each knee.
17
18	The man in question is almost always a {{Hunk}} (handsome and manly), and at the same time a [[TheCasanova Casanova]]. He likely engages in sexual activities out of the blue, making him a [[ThePornomancer Pornomancer]], and very often the ladies follow him around because he's [[BiggerIsBetterInBed well endowed in the penis department]]. If he's accompanied by more than two women, then it would be a case of SexyManInstantHarem. In promotional posters and artwork, the ladies are commonly found [[LegCling clinging to his feet]]. If the story is set in high school or college, then he'll probably be the BigManOnCampus.
19
20	Of course, there are plenty of ways to play with this trope. The guy might ''[[KavorkaMan not]]'' be all that physically desirable, but simply have loads of cash. Or the women are playing up the role to conceal that they are actually [[BodyguardBabes badass bodyguards]]. It's not that uncommon, when trouble starts, for both women to suddenly whip out hidden blades or guns and jump into the fray or fight off anyone going after their boss.
21
22	Not to be confused with LoverTugOfWar, where two women are physically fighting over a man(and may literally be ''pulling'' on said arms). On the contrary, the ladies of A Lady on Each Arm are passive to the point where they accept the fact that the man has other women for him as well.
23
24	Due to [[DoubleStandard gender double standards]], this trope [[AlwaysMale almost always applies to men]], given that [[MyGirlIsNotASlut women are usually shamed for having multiple sexual partners]] (or even just one). On a further note, this trope almost exclusively applies to ''straight'' men, given that [[DepravedHomosexual queer people that enjoy and fully explore their sexuality are usually villainized in media]]. Straight men, on the other hand, get to be badasses for having an active sex life and being in control of their surroundings. The man in question will also probably be white since men of color with multiple partners very often come off as perverts in media.
25
26	If it's implied that things are taken any further than a display of arm candy, it's likely to run into a ThreesomeSubtext. If it goes beyond subtext, that's AThreesomeIsHot, or if things get even more X-rated, ThreeWaySex. On the other hand, if they're actually in a romantic relationship, that would be {{Polyamory}} or ExoticExtendedMarriage.
27
28	This may occasionally be invoked by Heroic characters, who have a pair of female teammates of friends accompany them as part of a disguise or to make a false first impression. extra subtext bonus if one or [[LoveTriangle both]] women really ''are'' into him, double if it's TheMissusAndTheEx.
29
30	The Japanese also call this trope "a flower in each hand" (両手に花, "ryoute ni hana").

70	* Played for horror in ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd''. When Judge Death first meets the Sisters of Death, the three of them are shown like this, with them clinging to his legs after he spares their lives.

71	* ''Madhouse Comics Digest'' #5 included a "Monsters from Outer Space" article which said that five-armed Plutonians were widely considered the best lovers in the known universe. The Plutonian depicted had a girl apiece on four of his arms and was using his fifth arm to phone potential dates for the following evening.
72	* ''ComicBook/SecretSix'': Catman is introduced this way in the Volume 4 reboot, but with an interesting variation - he first shows up in a bar with a beautiful woman on one arm... and a handsome man on the other. Evidently, Gail Simone decided to drop any ambiguity about Catman's bisexuality from her first run when she wrote this one.

The dream scenario eventually devolves into a LoverTugOfWar in which the girls tear him in half which wakes him up.
77	* {{Subverted\|Trope}} in a ''Tim Traveller'' story. Time decides to see what his life will be like in the future, and sees himself pulling this off as a young man. Then the girls' boyfriends appear and beat his future self up.

He then casually murders the women and his bodyguards, laughing that he and Wolverine are still just animals and monsters and that will never change. This cements Wolverine's [[OffingTheOffspring grim]] [[MurderSuicide decision.]]

81	[[folder:Fan Works]]
82	* In "Rock Out" of ''Fanfic/TheAFRUniverse'', Ryuji ends up injuring his leg in a mosh pit. Haru and Hifumi carry him out of the concert to Haru's waiting vehicle so he can rest. Some time later, a tabloid magazine used a picture taken from that night to make it look like Ryuji was some kind of playboy taking both famous women home with him.
83	* ''Fanfic/ImNobody'': PlayedForLaughs. During a massive wedding party in [[spoiler:Helium]], everyone gets ''extremely'' drunk and asleep in odd places, which means that Roxas wakes up with Tali one one side using his as a pillow and Xion on the other holding his arm hostage. And just as he's trying to figure out how to get up, Garrus and Ashley walk in to make fun of him for what a ladies' man he is.
84	* The ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' fandom has [[http://jadenkaiba.deviantart.com/art/Judai-Asuka-and-Rei-175031593 this piece of fanart]].

89	* ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'':

97	* Ned Land (Creator/KirkDouglas) is introduced this way in Disney's ''Film/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea''. He briefly lets go of them to start a brawl, but quickly emerges to get them back. Douglas insisted on this so his reputation as a Casanova wouldn't be tarnished by appearing in a family film.

100	* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'': In the alternate timeline, the wealthy and corrupt Biff Tannen (who, by the way, forced Lorraine to marry him after he murdered her husband) is seen in his private quarters lounging in a hot tub with his arms wrapped around two ladies, watching a Creator/ClintEastwood film (specifically ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars). They're all heavily implied to be skinny dipping too, but any fanservice this provides is canceled out by [[FanDisservice the idea of Biff naked]].
101	* Bruce Wayne does this in ''Film/BatmanBegins'', then does the same thing with three women in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. However, he only does it because Alfred told him to behave like a MillionairePlayboy so that people don't start thinking about his activities and jump to conclusions. Alfred actually had to explain what he means as Bruce has been out of touch with normal life for quite some time.
102	* Elsewhere in the ''Batman'' franchise, Two-Face in ''Film/BatmanForever'' has Sugar and Spice -- Sugar for his healthy, "normal" side, Spice for his twisted, acid-scarred side.
103	* In ''Film/TheBigPicture'', Nick, feeling low, [[ImagineSpot imagines]] himself in a 1940s-esque picture, sitting in a bar lamenting how he used to come in there with "a broad on each arm and a bankroll that could choke a hippo," but now he can't even get the bartender to [[IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough give him one more drink]].
104	* In ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'', Roger Taylor is depicted this way on Queen's tour bus during the montage of the band's first American tour, though all three people involved appear to be asleep.
105	* In ''Film/CatchMeIfYouCan'', this is used as a distraction by Frank. He cons several schoolgirls into accompanying him with the promise of jobs as air hostesses. Then in the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0uyIWOU024 Come Fly With Me]]'' scene he walks straight through an FBI stakeout; all the cops were too busy getting an eyeful of the pretty young air hostesses to notice Frank. As they walk away from the car at the start of the scene Frank actually has two girls on one arm and three on the other, but they don't hold the formation for long.
106	* Invoked in the ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'' movie to crash a private party; two of the Angels get in by being with Bosley, and he gets in due to this trope (and becomes worthy of the host's attention besides).
107	* ''Film/DeadInTombstone'': When Satan appears on the balcony in the saloon just before Gurerro's murder, he has a girl on each arm. When Gurerro looks back, the girls are there but Satan is gone. When Gurerro is sent back to Earth, Red is sitting in the saloon with a topless prostitute on each arm.
108	* The Crypt Keeper segment that ends ''Film/DemonKnight'' has the Keeper attending a red carpet Hollywood premiere accompanied by a pair of starlets.
109	* ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate'': Milton is introduced this way in one scene when he runs into Kevin in the lounge of their apartment building, with Christabella on one side and an Asian female lawyer who "flew in from Paris" on his other side.
110	* During the final showdown in ''Film/GhostRock'', one of Pickett's men has each arm around a whore from the saloon, only to learn this a really bad position to be in during a gunfight.
111	* ''Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome'': Dr. Dealgood is always accompanied and assisted by two {{Lovely Assistant}}s. They seem to be on genuinely close terms and not just professional associates, based on how the three are huddled together, frightened and confused, after the methane plant blows up and the future of Bartertown looks perilous.
112	* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
113	** ''Film/IronMan1'': Creator/StanLee as Hugh Hefner (or as himself, except Tony Stark thinks he's Hugh).
114	** InvokedTrope in ''Film/{{Black Panther\|2018}}''. This is the image T'Challa seeks to inspire when going undercover at the Korean illegal casino as a rich Kenyan playboy. The two ladies being Okoye and Nakia, they are as removed as it is possible from mere eye candy.
115	* Virgil Sparks (the Pride of Texas) makes his introduction this way in ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead''. The Kid has his own groupies too.
116	* ''Film/{{Rent}}'': A RareFemaleExample. At the end of "Tango: Maureen", the bisexual title character walks away with a guy and girl on each arm as Mark and Joanne look on.
117	* ''Film/RoboCop1987'' has the two "bitches" Bob Morton is [[HookersAndBlow doing cocaine with]] before Clarence Boddicker enters and tells them to leave.
118	* ''Film/RockStar'': When Kirk calls Chris, he's lounging by the pool with the two groupies we met earlier in the film. Throw in a conversation about his exes--all of whom he refers to as "Tottie."
119	* ''Film/SomeGuyWhoKillsPeople'': At his birthday party, the grossly overweight Marty Prichard is seen sitting in a chair with his arm around a pretty young woman sitting on each arm of the chair.
120	* In ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' holodeck gangster Nicky the Nose has two [[TheFlapper flapper girls]] rubbing his shoulders.
121	* ''Film/{{Swashbuckler}}'': When the pirates celebrate the successful theft of the Barnet's treasure from Major Folly's coach with [[TheNeedForMead rum and wenches]], Nick is seen roistering with a pair of wenches (one black, one white) clinging to either arm.
122	* In ''Film/WallStreetMoneyNeverSleeps'', Gordon meets Bud at a fundraiser many years later. Bud has since become a billionaire and retired and shows up with two ladies. Naturally, the ladies don't get any lines or even names, but this is partly due to Bud himself appearing only as a cameo.
123	* ''Film/TheWarWagon'': When Lomax first meets Taw at the saloon, he has a pair of Chinese {{Soiled Dove}}s hanging on his arms.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Literature]]
127	* ''Literature/AnansiBoys'': Spider does this with an entire crowd of women; his brother Lampshades this by saying it shouldn't be possible.
128	* ''Literature/DaisyMiller'': 1880s Europe's local American Girl finally goes too far when she walks down a street in Rome ''with a man on each arm!'' One of them is the protagonist who, unlike Daisy, is painfully aware of the awkwardness of the situation. It causes a scandal.
129	* In ''Sidhe Devil'' from ''Literature/DocSidhe'', Doc leaves a party with Ish on one arm and Gaby on the other. The three of them invoke this trope [[spoiler:to hide the fact that Doc is about to fall over from magical exhaustion.]]
130	* One of the villainous lycanthropes in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles: Fool Moon'' notes this trope nearly by name, referring to Harry. Unfortunately for Harry, Susan and Murphy were only on his arms because he was so injured he needed their help.
131	* ''Literature/TheEyeOfArgon'' introduces Agaphim as having "a naked wench seated at each of his arms."
132	* In the ''Literature/{{Safehold}}'' series, the label for "''Seijin'' Kohdy’s Premium Blend" whiskey is described as featuring an artist's impression of the legendary ''Seijin'' Kohdy with two scantily clad barmaids sitting in his lap, for the "lady on each leg" version of the trope.
133	* During ''Wedge's Gamble'' from ''Literature/XWingSeries'', Corran Horn, undercover on Coruscant with some other Rogues and Rebel agents, tours the Imperial palace in the company of two women, aware of what it looks like and pleased at the jealousy, because both are tall - taller than him, actually - and striking. Of course, one's one of his {{wing\|Man}}mates and the other is from Intelligence and a ranking officer. Being thought of as arm candy is useful.
134	* Our first view of Dionysus in ''[[Literature/ZeusIsDead Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure]]'' is of him sitting on his recliner-throne playing video games while flanked by no less than three women, two of whom are dressed as cheerleaders.

137	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
138	* ''Series/{{Banacek}}'': In "Rocket to Oblivion", Art Gallagher arrives at the exposition with a girl on each arm. He later brings both of them with him to the SummationGathering.

At one point, there is a cover shoot for a proposed album cover where the girls literally hang on each of Greg's arms ... tearing his shirt off him the process.
141	** In his autobiography "Growing Up Brady," Barry Williams recalls filming of the episode "Mail Order Hero," the Season 5 episode guest-starring New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath, and writing that he pictured the trope being enforced as he came onto the set (i.e., several women on his arms, with dozens of other young women following behind). Averted, however, as Namath – although he was a bachelor at the time – was in extreme pain and was accompanied by only a small entourage that included his agent.
142	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
143	** In one of the earlier seasons, Xander enlists Buffy and Willow to fake this with him. He's trying to make Cordelia jealous. They play along.
144	** Later, the recurring ''Buffy'' character Andrew turns up on ''Series/{{Angel}}'' with a woman on each arm. Since he'd been heavily implied to be gay in the past, some fans [[HideYourLesbians found this annoying]]. There have been two different explanations given for this change: Joss has blamed it on last-minute changes to the episode, saying it was supposed to be Dawn with a gender-swapped version of this trope, and the other story was that it was originally supposed to be a larger group of men and women meeting Andrew, meant to give a general impression of beauty to contrast with Andrew's earlier characterization as a social outcast, that was shrunk to just two women due to a misreading of the script. Some fans explain this away as him going to an LGBT club with two LipstickLesbian friends.
145	* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''
146	** In "Dog With Two Bones" Crichton has an ImagineSpot re marrying Aeryn on Earth. At his wedding party, a tuxedo-wearing D'Argo is clasping a pair of human beauties.
147	--->'''D'Argo:''' John, tonight you are the second-luckiest man on Earth. [[AThreesomeIsHot Know what I mean?]]
148	** In "Won't Get Fooled Again", D'Argo turns up as a hotshot astronaut and ladies man. His EstablishingCharacterMoment involves screeching up in a sports car, stepping out and putting his arms around a couple of PrettyPrivates who are passing by.
149	** Another imagine spot in "The Peacekeeper Wars", this time involving [[NotSoImaginaryFriend Harvey]], has him as a sleazy building contractor with a hot female chauffeur and SexySecretary played like this trope.
150	* ''Series/FullHouse'': In the episode "Trouble in Twin Town", Stephanie becomes attracted to a pair of twin brothers and hatches a FakeTwinGambit to hopefully impress them. By the end of the episode, the gambit falls apart and the boys find out Stephanie doesn't have a twin. Luckily for Stephanie, the boys like her enough that they start fighting over her, and Stephanie placates them by saying there's enough of her for the both of them and exits the scene with the twins on both of her arms.
151	* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': When [[MrFanservice Sam]] goes to the prom with Rachel and [[BigBeautifulWoman Mercedes]] (they both went with him because he thought he wouldn't be able to afford it), they are clearly invoking this with [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwFRHLopZ20/TdOnvTy9hhI/AAAAAAAAC4I/ZNUu-K1QYgE/s640/Glee+Prom+Queen+Mercedes+Sam+Rachel.jpg their prom picture]].
152	* ''Series/GossipGirl'': The first time we see Chuck Bass he is sitting on a couch with two of Blair's minions, Kati and Iz. In the next episode, we first see him waking up in bed with one woman on each side of him. He is then continuously seen with two women at a time when he's not fawning over Blair. Apparently, [[TwinThreesomeFantasy twins find him]].
153	* ''Series/{{Hustle}}'': Danny Blue has a scene in episode two of the first season where he's accompanied by two female flight attendants, as a quite obvious ShoutOut to ''Film/CatchMeIfYouCan'' (mentioned above under "Films").
154	* Subverted in ''Series/JessicaJones2015''. When Jessica first meets Kilgrave he has two women with him, not because of his own charms but because of his CompellingVoice. He immediately dismisses them having laid eyes on Jessica, and things quickly go FromBadToWorse. Later when a therapy group is assembled of Kilgrave's victims, it includes one of the women.
155	* In ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'', a MonsterOfTheWeek splits Vancuria into her two human selves just so he can have a girl on each arm. She is/they are not very pleased.
156	* Done in ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' to get three female NCIS agents into a club, after discovering that [=McGee=] was the "bouncer-worthy" one of the group. [=McGee=] had become a popular crime author, and the others were pretending to be his fans.
157	* "President T.W. Hunt Sr." on ''[[Series/TreasureHuntUS The New Treasure Hunt]]'', who is escorted in this manner by two models who [[MoneyToThrowAway throw money around]].
158	* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': Done so Michael, Ryan, and Dwight can get into a club.
159	* ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'': Archie walks into the school dance with Betty on one arm and Veronica on the other. Betty had intended to ask Archie to just take ''her'', with Veronica's support, but chickened out and played it off as asking Archie to go with her ''and'' Veronica "as friends." Veronica played along and claimed that she and Betty "needed an escort," while Betty said they'd be making sure newcomer Veronica wouldn't go to her first dance alone.
160	* Mo from ''Series/SmartGuy'' gets this treatment during the episode "Gotta Dance" when an aptitude test indicates that he's best suited as a motivational speaker and brings with it the popularity with the ladies. Unfortunately for him, this is undone at the end of the selfsame episode when Vice Principal Militich informs him that his actual aptitude test result got mixed up with another student's, revealing his best-suited career path as:
161	-->'''Mo''': (reading from the result) VICE PRINCIPAL?!
162	-->The girls leave him in disgust
163	-->'''Militich''': [[SeenItAll Get used to it.]]
164	* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''
165	** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E15ShoreLeave Shore Leave]]" ends with the revelation that all the strange occurrences have been just illusions created by a PleasurePlanet for their entertainment; Dr. [=McCoy=] (who was supposedly killed) turns up with a lady on each arm.
166	** Mudd appears this way in both of his episodes.
167	* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''
168	** It happens to Quark on Risa, which also happens to be a PleasurePlanet.
169	** In the MirrorUniverse, Jake Sisko comes across Nog (now running the bar after the demise of Mirror!Quark) with a sleazy-dressed Dabo girl on either side of him. He tosses one to Jake, who isn't all that bothered. Until Dad walks in.
170	** Happens again with Quark in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS01E16IfWishesWereHorses If Wishes Were Horses]]" where everyone's imaginations manifest physically. When the imaginary people and things start to disappear, Quark tries to file a missing persons report with Odo and can only describe the ladies as "a blond, and a brunette!"
171	** A GenderInvertedTrope in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E01E02TheWayOfTheWarrior Way of the Warrior]]" [[BlitheSpirit Jadzia Dax]] enters with a shirtless and well-muscled holographic masseur on each arm. She also offers one to her companion -- Kira in this case, who is reluctant to indulge in KissMeImVirtual pleasures.
172	** In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS02E19BloodOath Blood Oath]]" Klingon warrior Kor has a Dabo girl on each arm and ponders the dilemma this creates as he's no way of picking up the jug of blood wine in front of him. Dax lifts it for him.
173	* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. Happy that the Continuum [[BroughtDownToNormal has given him back his powers]] Q materializes a mariachi band on the Enterprise bridge and a couple of women on either side of Commander Riker. Being more than capable of getting his own, Riker indignantly refuses Q's "fantasy women", so Q materializes them on Worf instead.
174	* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'':
175	** Inverted when Q turns up. Tom and Harry are on the holodeck being massaged by a pair of {{Fanservice Extra}}s. Then Q materializes with the babes vanishing and reappearing in his lap.
176	** Also on the holodeck in "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E13AlterEgo Alter Ego]]", the Doctor is shown being kissed by two Polynesian beauties. It's likely not a coincidence that Robert Picardo (who plays the Doctor) directed this episode.
177	* It happens on ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' when Zack fantasizes about being a bigwig at a company.
178	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. TheReveal that an apparently innocuous character is The Trickster is when he materializes two women in lingerie to join him for dinner. Later he offers them to Dean as a bribe to leave him alone. Dean is tempted but turns down the offer.
179	* In ''Series/{{Westworld}}'', there is the "one-of-each variety," when Logan and William arrive at the Delos transfer station. Logan passes off his future brother-in-law to the staff, while he heads off with a female host on one arm and a male host on the other.

182	[[folder:Music]]
183	* Dave & Sugar: Several publicity shots and album covers of this late-1970s/early 1980s country music trio – lead singer (and one-time Charley Pride prodigy) Dave Rowland, accompanied by two female singers – had his two female bandmates (the "Sugar") hanging on each arm.
184	* T.G. Sheppard: Probably country music's leading sex symbol of the late 1970s well into the 1980s, his reputation as a ladies' man was at its peak with his 1981 album ''I Loved 'Em All'' (especially noting the cover art) and the No. 1 track from said album "I Loved 'Em Every One."
185	* Referenced in Music/{{Dion}}'s "The Wanderer"
186	-->''Oh well, there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right\
187	And Janie is the girl with that I'll be with tonight''
188	* Sleazy P. Martini on the poster for "It's Sleazy".
189	* The Music/{{ACDC}} song "TNT" makes a reference to this, along with several other tropes among the badass vein.
190	* The Jan & Dean song "Surf City" includes the line "Two girls for every boy," but it might mean something different.
191	* Music/{{Poison}} in the song "Look What The Cat Dragged In"

195	* The liner notes of a John Lee Hooker compilation tell of the writer having seen Hooker walk into a club with a white suit, a white cane and a young white girl on each arm. "Between this and the image of a blues singer playing on his porch, I prefer the former; this guy knows how to have fun."
196	* Music/{{Psy}} does this in one scene of his ''Gangnam Style'' video. With debris flying towards him and his girls.
197	* In Music/XJapan's ''Celebration'' PV, Music/TaijiSawada has a woman on each arm ''and'' one on his lap.

200	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
201	* Wrestling/ScottSteiner was usually accompanied to the ring by two women, if not more.
202	%% ZCE * Wrestling/ValVenis, and he loved to brag about it.
203	%% Needs Context * Wrestling/DeanMalenko. After all, he was called "the Ladies Man" for a reason.
204	* [[Wrestling/DonMuraco The Magnificent Muraco]]: During the height of his heel run in the mid-1980s, Muraco cut a nasty promo on Wrestling/HulkHogan on a beach. Two sexy, bikini-clad women were hanging on each arm, smiling the whole time as Muraco ranted about how he would beat Hogan to within an inch of his life, then take his WWF World title.
205	* Wrestling/RandyOrton is the current Page Image, taken during the early days of his career when he was portrayed as both a pretty boy and ladies man. As a protege of Wrestling/RicFlair, this came with the territory.
206	* None of them were able to do it with as much style as "The Nature Boy" Wrestling/RicFlair. While he always had plenty of willing ladies (and still does despite his age), he probably reached the peak of this trope for one of his championship matches with Wrestling/RickySteamboat, when he was accompanied to the ring by at least a ''dozen'' beautiful women.
207	* Wrestling/RickRude, at the 1987 Slammy Awards had two women seated with him at his table.

209
210	[[folder:Theatre]]
211	* {{Gender Flip}}ped in ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}'' in "Roxy", when she says her new act will have a boy -- then amends that, saying she'll have ''two'' boys to balance it out.

213	* In the New Year's Eve scene of ''Theatre/ShowBoat'', Andy is lasciviously escorting two young women, neither of whom is his wife. There's actually three of them, but of course he only has two arms.
214	* In the final moments of ''Theatre/StreetScene'', a sailor crosses with his arms around the waists of two girls.
215	[[/folder]]
216
217	[[folder:Video Games]]
218	* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': Lin, a KnowledgeBroker in Noctis City is introduced at the [[CoolestClubEver Nocturne Maze]] with both of his girlfriends sitting by his sides.
219	* ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting'': This became [[TheDragon Mr. Big's]] standard pre-fight animation, from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters96'' onward, which is the reason gamers believe that one of his syndicate's operations is prostitution.
220	* Duke Nukem in ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''. Some promotional images even show him with a lady on each leg.
221	* ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERGiantFist'': As more money is deposited in the Ace Bank, the Professor Room steadily improves. It starts simple, a nicer chair for Professor Ace or giving him a sharp white leisure suit. By the final two tiers, his lavish lodgings will be capstoned with a tall glamorous bikini babe leaning in on either side of him.
222	* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', CasanovaWannabe Irvine suggests the team of 6 [[LetsSplitUpGang split up]] into two squads of three to reach two important checkpoints. He puts [[GenkiGirl Selphie]] and [[{{Ojou}} Rinoa]] on his team, surrounding him, leaving [[HotBlooded Zell]] and [[HotTeacher Quistis]] with Squall. You have the option of changing the order or giving Squall's [[CharacterCatchphrase trademark]] "Whatever" and letting Irvine live his fantasy.
223	* The opening sequence of ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'' shows Kratos sitting in a throne, with a lady on each leg.
224	* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' seems to parody this with Yngwie, whose first two portraits have him in armour and a combat pose...but his third one has him in tourist-like attire and a ''harem'' on each arm. He's also mentioned in an event to have had ''thousands'' of sexual partners. Unusually for this trope, he has darker skin than most characters.
225	* In the Career campaign of ''VideoGame/GuitarHero III'', [[BigBad Lou]] makes his first appearance with a woman on each arm. [[spoiler: Continued in his Demon form just before the [[FinalBoss final guitar battle]].]]
226	* In ''VideoGame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'', when the party breaks into Yamai's headquarters, they find him in his private club with [[LikesOlderWomen a middle-aged lady]] on each arm.
227	* [[ChivalrousPervert Jansen Friedh]] of ''VideoGame/LostOdyssey''. After being assigned to a mission with Kaim and [[ActionGirl Seth]], he decides to show up late, drunk, and surrounded by three different women.
228	* Can be either PlayedStraight or GenderInverted in the ''VideoGame/MassEffect3: Citadel'' DLC. While infiltrating a casino, a female Shepard can bring James Vega along, and GuestStarPartyMember Maya Brooks will then suggest that he "accessorise" a bit. Cut to Vega with the two women on each arm. If a male Shepard brings Kaidan he will instead ask Brooks which man she would like to take her arm. Cut to Brooks with both men on each arm. [[note]]Due to animation constrains the person in the middle will actually just link arms with one person while the other one just walks really close, but it's clear from the dialogue that this trope is in play.[[/note]]
229	-->'''Brooks:''' Um, well... wow. A spectre on each arm. You know, if someone could just get our picture so I have proof this happened.
230	* Referenced in act 1 of ''VisualNovel/MissingStars''. Erik's older sisters joke that he was toured around his new school with two female classmates, Irene and Ela. Erik jokes back that he "has game".
231	* ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVSTheWorldTheGame'': Scott's ending is getting together with Envy, Kim, and Knives with all of them surrounding him.
232	* '''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero]]'' sees Fran and Noel Seeker invoke this on Lloyd after they see him alone during the Crossbell Festival and ask him to see a concert with them. [[CluelessChickMagnet Lloyd]] doesn't understand seeing as how he had just finished watching a show with [[CoolBigSis Cecile]] but ultimately just goes along with it.

238	[[folder:Webcomics]]
239	* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick: On the Origin of [=PCs=]'', a newly-jailbroken Belkar is just musing that life couldn't get any better when happens upon a sign saying, "WHORES: 2-for-1 Sale!" The next panel is the three of them walking off like this.
240	* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', {{Satan}} commonly appears with a succubus on each arm. Less now that the succubi have personalities.
241	[[/folder]]
242
243	[[folder:Western Animation]]
244	* At an earlier episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', Jake needed a date and Fu took him to Magus Bazaar to look for one. Guess what Jake had in mind when Fu introduced him to Sara and Kara.
245	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'': In one episode, Robert has an ImagineSpot with two women by his side that reject him after Tom ruined the moment. When he attempts it later without Tom, they still reject him for being an old guy.
246	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': In a RareFemaleExample, Quinn often goes to dances and parties with multiple dates.

249	* Riot from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' often does this with his bandmates Minx and Rapture (such as in the first music video to "Take It Or Leave It"). Unusually, their relationship is completely platonic. WordOfGod is that there is no attraction between the three.
250	* PlayedForLaughs in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' when [[HornyBard Scanlan's]] ImagineSpot of him storming the Briarwoods' dungeon includes two women and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim an elderly nobleman]] clinging to his magically giant-sized form.
251	* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'': Several of Jamie's {{Imagine Spot}}s has him being joined by two ladies when envisioning himself as a big shot.
252	* Another female example comes from Rainbow Dash in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Sonic Rainboom", where Dash caps off an already awesome day by flying off into the sunset with a stallion on each foreleg and declaring that [[AccidentalInnuendo "I've got plans!"]]
253	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRomanceOfBettyBoop'': Waldo Van Lavish was accompanied by two debutante tramps named Tracy (blonde) and Mimsey (redhead). They both take an instant dislike towards Betty Boop, due to her knocking them off their table with her hips while singing for Waldo.

256	** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'': Doc Ock is seen with a girl by each tentacle in one episode.
257	** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'': In Season 2's "Along Came a Spidey," during the flashback, a teen-aged Flash Thompson mercilessly taunts Peter Parker; at one point when the two have an exchange at the beach, Flash -- two beautiful teen-aged girls draped on each arm -- kicks sand in "Peter Puny's" face and laughs evilly as he walks off. The two girls giggle, thinking Flash to be cute and funny.
258	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TrippingTheRift'' had the president of a planet in this situation, but its hat was homosexuality, so they were guys (he also makes a remark about his stay-at-home husband). [[spoiler: Turns out he's really straight, which is a crime on said PlanetOfHats.]]
259	* Pietro from ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' shows up to a dance with a girl on each arm... And two girls besides them.
