20	A male character who is so good-looking and unintentionally charming that he becomes a babe ''and'' stud magnet (the studs being either bisexual or straight). Some of the other characters may question his sexuality and he'll [[AmbiguouslyGay keep]] [[CampStraight them]] [[AmbiguouslyBi guessing]], which results in HoYay... unless, of course, he is the [[BoysLove love interest]].
21
22	The only thing that saves him from becoming TheCasanova or a [[TheUnwantedHarem harem manager]] is his complete obliviousness to his power to make women's knees go weak and men's eyes glittery. If he's aware of it, which is more likely if he's the main protagonist, he'll treat it as more of a [[CursedWithAwesome curse than a blessing]] and be a staunch ChasteHero or CelibateHero; or, if he's [[VideoGame/MetalGear Big Boss]], he won't really care one way or the other.
23
24	Compare the ChickMagnet, which is just attracting the opposite sex. Occasional cause is DudeLooksLikeALady (if straight guys fall for him because they ''think he's a girl'') or TheDandy, although a polar opposite cause could be his sheer masculine appeal.
25
26	Has the DistaffCounterpart of EvenTheGirlsWantHer, and for intersex characters, EverybodyWantsTheHermaphrodite. The male form of HeadTurningBeauty and the polar opposite of the CasanovaWannabe. If the male character is wanted only by other male characters despite there also being women present they fall into OnlyHasSameSexAdmirers. However, they can also develop into this.
27
28	Can lead to the character becoming [[MemeticMutation memetic]] for his attractiveness. And it can also lead to the admirer(s) JumpingTheGenderBarrier. Frequently overlaps with TheAce.
29
30	If his "admirers" include much younger characters as well as both sexes, he may be the series' StacysMom.
31
32	Can be used quizzically in combination with EatingTheEyeCandy and FemaleGaze if such work is [[MostWritersAreMale written]], directed or produced by a [[HaveIMentionedIAmGay gay man]] and it is presented from the perspective of a female character.

45	[[folder:Advertising]]
46	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPLCsqUfuEk this Diet Pepsi commercial,]] ''[[Series/QueerEye Queer Eye for the Straight Guy]]'''s [[CampGay Carson Kressley]] joins [[EatingTheEyeCandy Cindy Crawford and all the other women]] as one of the "hunk with the Diet Pepsi"'s admirers.
47	* Speaking of soda, [[https://youtu.be/G2P14wJuHIo when Lil' Sweet delivers a can of Diet Dr. Pepper,]] everyone in the break room acknowledges his hotness. Even the one male coworker.
48	* Several comments on the videos for ''Advertising/TheManYourManCouldSmellLike'' indicate that he's something like this. Since he's portrayed as the ideal man, it's not surprising.
49	* A [[https://vimeo.com/113495071 Ford commercial]] has a handsome young stud walking to his car wearing nothing but an [[WalkingSwimsuitScene itty-bitty pair of swim trunks]]. While most of the people ogling him are women, one man is seen smiling at him and an older gentleman is seen clearly admiring the young man's...[[DoubleEntendre assets]].
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Comic Books]]
53	* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Characters/{{Batman\|TheCharacter}}. He's been romantically involved with multiple women, but also attracts a lot of FoeRomanceSubtext with his male enemies.
54	** Harley and Ivy both think that [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]] only has eyes for Batman (and Harley is in love with the Joker) and the Joker has often professed affection towards Batman (complete with moments of desperate attention-needing). In the macabre ''ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'', which is a canon ''Batman'' comic, Joker slaps Batman on the butt and continually hits on him throughout the comic. The pages are lined with homoerotic content and an unnatural level of sexual tension. Several canon Batman comics have the Joker professing a sexual fascination with Batman, to [[ILoveTheDead nightmarish]] [[{{Yandere}} extents]]. This extends across some adaptions. He outright says Batman has a cute little ass in Arkham video games.
55	** In ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'', Batman has an internal monologue about how the Joker's eyes never change, never revealing anything about his thoughts or emotions. Except for love for Batman.
56	** In ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' it's mentioned "Even straight dudes dig Batman. He's fair game, like ''Creator/HarrisonFord''."
57	** Bruce's childhood friend-turned-villain Thomas Elliot, who became Hush. He seems to obsessively stalk Bruce and even got plastic surgery to look like Bruce, as well as directing crazed ex-girlfriend-esque slurs towards Bruce’s lovers. Some of his lines exemplify it even more:
58	---> '''Hush:''' But never fear, Bruce.
59	---> '''Hush:''' I won't desert you before the final curtain.
60	---> '''Hush:''' I'm staying here to watch as the heartbeats slow and end.
61	** ''Characters/{{Superman\|TheCharacter}}'' and Batman have [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/HoYay/Superman a lot of Ho Yay]] with Superman hinted at being AmbiguouslyBi partly due to some of his actions towards Batman.
62	** This can apply to [[Characters/BatmanTheRiddler the Riddler]] as well. The Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse-based [[ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures Batman Adventures Vol. 2 #11]] involved him, having sort-of-reformed, trying to get Batman to match wits with him. One of the clues he left was 'Next time, lives will be at stake'. When Batman tracks him down, he hears screaming, bursts in -- and finds the scream came from the ''lobster the Riddler was cooking for him'' ([[{{Pun}} along with a steak]]). It helps that he was wearing a "Kiss the Genius" Apron too.
63	** Hugo Strange gets plenty of subtext with Batman throughout the years. In the Terror storyline of Legends of the Dark Knight, he is in a "relationship" with a female mannequin wearing lingerie and a cowl like Batman's.
64	** Scarecrow pretty much has a huge fetish for fear. Batman is the only thing that scares him anymore and so he keeps fighting him so that he can feel that sweet taste of fear once again. There's also a twisted tension to him constantly attempting to break Batman's mind down through fear and expressing a dominant nature in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum''.
65	** Bane in ''I Am Suicide'' is naked for... some reason. And spends a lot of time well inside Batman's personal space.
66	--->'''Bane:''' ''(a limp Batman in his arms)'' Tell me, Batman. Tell me what you... '''''want'''''.
67	** The comic ''Batman: Jekyll & Hyde'' has moments such as Two-face [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/625678873048121354/720903127645028422/unknown.png tenderly caressing Batman's cheek]].
68	* ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'': During Creator/{{Christopher Priest\|Comics}}'s [[ComicBook/BlackPanther1998 run]], [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] shows up in his [[{{Stripperific}} usual attire]], which combined with having apparently just come out of a body of water and being soaking wet, causes resident ThisLoserIsYou sidekick Everett K. Ross to narrate: "...homina... homina..."
69	* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': For obvious reasons, nearly every guy in the Marvel universe is gay for Captain America. Especially [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsTonyStark Iron Man]], and [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]].
70	** Steve sat in Deadpool's lap once.
71	* ''ComicBook/IronMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsTonyStark Tony Stark]]. Even the male ''[[EnemyMine supervillains]]'' want him. (Hell, the first Crimson Dynamo [[HeelFaceTurn defected]] and then ''[[TakingTheBullet died]]'' for him.) Here, have a (terrifying) canon example:
72	-->'''[[StalkerWithACrush Tiberius]] [[SmugSnake Stone]]:''' [[DidYouActuallyBelieve You think I'd]] [[VillainousBreakdown let you]] ''[[VillainousBreakdown leave]]'' [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind this place]]?! '''''[[IfICantHaveYou Leave ME]]!?'''''
73	** Even his armor fell in love with him.
74	* ''ComicBook/{{Loki}}'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]], particularly in ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' who, like his mythological counterpart, is a shapeshifter. When he dies, he's resurrected as a child and joins the ComicBook/YoungAvengers, no one really notices, but when he's magically aged up, the first reaction is: "Okay. ''Now'' he looks like trouble!" It's implied that Fandral has a thing for him, and at one point, when Sigurd, [[RunningGag The Ever Glorious]] tells Loki and Verity that he'll make up for his actions via dinner and possibly more, neither of them know to whom it's directed (it's hinted to be both). During Axis, his Avengers call-sign is "Pretty Boy," given to him by Sabertooth of all people.
75	* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]] once had a complete {{fanboy}} {{Squee}} moment with [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2563277.html Thor]], remarking on how pretty [[Characters/MarvelComicsThorOdinson Thor]] looked, leading to a DidISayThatOutLoud?
76	* ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'': [[Characters/NightwingDickGrayson Nightwing]]. Even without the most recent example--where [[ComicBook/TheAuthority Midnighter]] correctly identifies him solely [[FemaleGaze by his ass alone]]--there have been years of throwaway lines from Dick's male Teen Titans teammates, male Bat-allies, and male nemeses commenting on his looks (not to mention a line of dark, broody Batman expats who have repeatedly stated their intentions to make him their "partner", whatever that entails). Out-of-universe, we have ''Batman'' writers and DC editors admitting to Dick Grayson's intolerable hotness.
77	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]]'s a ChickMagnet and his enemy Chameleon once told him he loves him, right before jumping off a bridge. Also, Electro visits a shape-shifting prostitute in the Marvel Knights series, and it's strongly implied he wants her to transform into Spider-Man for him. Then there's the symbiote and therefore Eddie Brock acting like a {{Yandere}} to him. Also, Norman gets one-sided subtext with Peter/Spidey and during the "Return of the Green Goblin" arc of ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', we get to look at things through Norman's eyes during a conversation with Spider-Man. The voices in his head tell him things like "kill him" "skin him" "burn him" and "kiss him". Another issue had the titular hero go headfirst through the windshield of a car where one male police officer is commenting about Spider-Man's form-fitting costume to his male partner. After a beat panel, the first officer points out Spider-Man's toned butt. ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' also has much HoYay towards Spider-Man to a one-sided degree. Also, Gabe of ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' has recurring dreams of being saved by Spider-Man. Gabe, uh, is [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/05/06/ a little more happy than you might expect]]. [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/03/29/ A later comic gets even more intimate.]]
78	** An issue of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' showed Johnny Storm sleeping in his bedroom, which is adorned with Spider-Man merchandise. In particular, he's cuddling a Spider-Man doll. Then there was the time Johnny and Spidey became roommates. Johnny cooked Peter breakfast wearing nothing but boxers and a frilly apron and generally acts like a jealous housewife. In the Ultimate Universe, Johnny Storm ends up once dating Jessica Drew, then the Ultimate Spider-Woman (now the new Ultimate Black Widow), who in this world is a clone of Peter Parker, including memories and personality, but in a female body. The original Peter is pretty horrified by this.
79	* One issue of ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'' introduces the Zeltrons, a species who are attracted to Force-sensitives. So when Luke Skywalker is on Zeltros, he naturally gets a legion of fangirls - and one fanboy.
80	* ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': Longshot charms a (later proved) gay Colossus.
81	* ''ComicBook/XFactor'': Detective Lieutenant Weiss is clearly smitten and insists on being called by his first name...Leslie.
82	* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
83	** [[Characters/MarvelComicsDaken Daken]]. Again, justified due to the guy's powers: he has SmellsSexy pheromone-related ones that allow him to alter emotions and perceptions in other people, thus making women ''and'' men want him. And even more: Daken himself is a DepravedBisexual. It is notable that Daken's appeal is exclusively a function of his pheromones, rather than any kind of general attractiveness. Hulkling of the ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', despite being gay, is entirely unaffected because he is not a human. He is also fully aware that Daken is trying to influence him with his pheromone powers.
84	** [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]] is very much this. He can even charm men. For a while, one of Remy's powers was hypnotic charm, which let him try swaying any sentient being of any gender to his side but that has been changed. This "power" is no longer mentioned, and it's heavily implied that he is just that charming.
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Fan Works]]
88	* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': It's implied that this happened to [[PhysicalGod Emperor Golden Scepter]] in the past, as he slept with both male and female partners before the "Twilight of the Alicorns". Golden Scepter also attracted [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]], who thinks that he's "incredibly handsome" despite his [[TimeAbyss vast age]], and has considered bedding the Radiant Emperor at one point. However, Temnobog has refused to act on his basic urges because doing so will not only irrevocably ruin his friendship with Golden Scepter, but also [[{{Hypocrite}} make him appear no different than the followers of "careless/destructive" Evil that he hates]], thus proving to [[AbusiveParents Irminsul]] that he's no better than the Evils that must be destroyed to benefit mortal Deerkind.
89	* In the ''Jem'' oneshot ''Fanfic/GlitterReunion'', Riot's son Raoul inherited his dad's good looks and charisma. He has many fangirls ''and'' fanboys.
90	* As only a sophomore in high school, Jean-Paul (Northstar) is this in the ''ComicBook/XMen'' fanfic ''FanFic/MutatisMutandis'' by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2359030/Artemiss_Liege Artemis's Liege]], catching the eye of two upperclassmen and apparently initiating an affair with his combat instructor Wolverine, all seemingly straight.
91	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' is a major LauncherOfAThousandShips so in slash fics featuring him he's this most of the time. Particularly in ''Northort Academy Chronicles'' by Crystal Ice Sweet on fanfiction.net. It's lampshaded in the fic with [[CrazyJealousGuy Francois]] (who's also in love with Harry) muttering jealously at David, their flight attendant's behavior around Harry, "Geez, what is it with you and barely legal twinks? You're like catnip to him."
92	* Ash in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has attracted the attention of many a girl in both the canon and rebooted timeline, but in [[BeachEpisode Chapter 36]], even a few guys try to approach him. Pikachu implies this was the case even in the previous timeline, though the author chose not to specify who.
93	* In ''[[Fanfic/StallionsOfHarmonyVerse Stallions Of Harmony]]'', Shining Armor's former roommate is asked if he is gay. The roommate's response: "I wish."
94	** Also, Twilight mentions that Shining always said the guys sent him fake love letters. Since Shining Armor is ObliviousToLove in this universe, those letters were probably sincere, including the ones that were ''not'' written by mares...
95	* ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'': [[GentlemanAndAScholar Luca]] is [[ChickMagnet quite popular with girls at school]] and his best friend [[{{Keet}} Alberto]] and [[spoiler: resident BigJerkOnCampus Vincenzo]] adore him as much as the girls.
96	* Naruto and Sasuke get this in slash fics sometimes when paired with each other or with other guys. ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7430301/2/Taste_of_Your_Lips The Taste Of Your Lips]]'' is an example of other guys wanting Sasuke and Sasuke in turn wanting Naruto.
97	* ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'': [[ChickMagnet Jaune]], much to his [[OhCrap irritation]]. Sun also exudes this aura.
98	* ''Fanfic/TheAwakeningOfAMagus'' has Draco make a note to that effect as he watches the HesAllGrownUp Harry exercising in the gym.
99	* In ''Fanfic/{{Opalescent}}'', [[ChickMagnet Otto]] not only has the girls on his heels, but he also has the boys on his heels as well. However, ''Fanfic/ShipsAhoy'' shows that most girls are into Otto because he's hot, and not for his [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} true]] [[NiceGuy personality.]]
100	* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocus'' has The Figure (the leader of Elipzo and thus the BigBad) comment on a picture of Augustine Sycamore and calls him ''majestic''.
101	* PlayedForDrama in ''Fanfic/{{Swordsmen}}'', as men just won't stop harassing Kenshin over his fine-boned, girlish beauty when he's extremely straight and devoted to his bride. It's strongly hinted DepravedBisexual Marshall tried to become his friend in order to seduce and later molest him.
102	* [[OriginalCharacter Anon]] in Fanfic/ADanceOnTheMats is attractive enough to grab the attention of [[CampGay Caramel]]. Anon is [[ObliviousToLove ignorant]] of Caramel's affections until the tail end of the story.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
106	* ''WesternAnimation/BackToTheOutback'': Throughout the film, Nigel the scorpion is shown to REALLY like Pretty Boy the koala since he's so cute, even asking at one point if he could wipe his butt on his body.
107	-->'''Nigel''': Can I wipe my bottom with your fur?
108	-->'''Pretty Boy''': ''confused'' What!?
109	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', Joaquin is described multiple times as 'The Beautiful Hero' by Chakal's second-in-command.
110	* A pair of lyrics from Gaston's VillainSong (sung by his biggest fanboy [=LeFou=]) in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' sound...[[AccidentalInnuendo interesting]]:
111	-->''For there's no man in town half as manly!''\
112	''Perfect, a pure paragon!''\
113	''You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley,''\
114	''And they'd tell you '''whose team they'd prefer to be on!'''''
115	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', [[spoiler:Tyler]] is a huge fan of 4*Town (and loves Aaron Z. in particular), and some male attendees can be spotted in the audience, including Devon.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Film -- Live Action]]
119	* ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' director Gil Junger, after Creator/HeathLedger finished the reading and left, declared that if he had to have sex with a man, that Ledger would be that man.
120	* In ''Film/AnotherCinderellaStory'', Joey Parker sets up a booth to find the masked girl he met at the dance. A few boys get in the line.
121	* The titular ''Film/AustinPowers'' is already quite the ChickMagnet but also is attractive to two guys. One kisses him and the other was way too interested in watching him dance provocatively in just his underwear.
122	* The screenplay for ''Beach Babes 2: Cave Girl Island'' was written by Mark Michelini and was directed by former [[GuyOnGuyIsHot gay porn star]] David [=DeCoteau=]. The 3 male costars play primitive stud muffins who [[WalkingShirtlessScene wear only loincloths]]. One of them, Rock, is played by Stephan Galio, who is also a ''Playgirl'' centerfold. Sola (Tina Hollimon) says about Rock, "You know, for a primitive, he's got a great ass!"
123	* ''Film/Barbie2023'': When Barbie and Ken first arrive in the real world, while Barbie gets most of the attention from all of the men, both she AND Ken are shown to have been stared at thanks to their good looks, with two gay men in particular checking him out as he rollerblades by.
124	* ''Film/BladesOfGlory'' "You mean the blonde chick's a dude? Aw man..."
125	* Jeffrey Beaumont of ''Film/BlueVelvet''. Frank Booth is a DepravedBisexual who takes the hero out, covers his mouth with lipstick and kisses him while calling him pretty (the original four-hour-long script also implied pretty heavily that he raped him). And after all that, when he's chasing him to the woman's apartment, he threatens him with rape again and is still calling him pretty.
126	* ''Film/Camp2003'': When Vlad enters his room to unpack, he is totally oblivious to the fact that everyone is fixated with him. "Everyone" would be four guys and a girl. After watching while Vlad unpacks his stuff, to try and determine whether he's straight or gay, the girl comes up with the following idea:
127	-->'''Ellen:''' Thirty foot rule?\
128	'''Spitzer:''' What's that?\
129	'''Ellen:''' Means Michael has to stay thirty feet away from him until we find out if he's straight or gay.
130	** Of course, Michael doesn't stay away and we end up with a really weird love triangle and [[LoveDodecahedron then some...]]
131	* Louis Renault's description of Rick Blaine in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'': "If I were a lady, and ''I'' were not around, I should be in love with Rick." Just about every man OR woman with more than two minutes of screen time gets at least some HoYay, or plain ol' straight ShipTease with Rick.
132	* Jimmy in ''[[Film/{{Cursed 2005}} Cursed]]''. Bo the [[JerkJock wrestler]] comes out of the closet to Jimmy because he has a crush on him due to his [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent "unnatural sexual allure"]].
133	* Dorian in the 2009 film ''Film/DorianGray''. There is literally no one who can't be persuaded to screw him, regardless of gender. And age. And flight instinct. (You halfway expect James Vane to give it a go.)
134	* ''Film/FightClub'': The Narrator clearly has conflicting feelings about Angel Face. In one scene, [[spoiler: in his Tyler persona]], he kisses Angel Face on the mouth, accompanied by a voice-over line about jealousy. Later, as the Narrator, he beats Angel Face to a pulp, remarking, "I felt like destroying something beautiful."
135	* ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'': At least two guys show some attraction to Kumar in the first film; an old man in the hospital tries to hold his hand, and one of the medics is obviously infatuated.
136	* Mullet Fingers in the film version of ''Literature/{{Hoot}}''. Roy Eberhardt seems to have a borderline-homosexual fixation with Mullet Fingers, despite the story making it quite clear he is straight. Creator/RogerEbert went so far as to invoke ''Film/BrokebackMountain'' in his review of the film.
137	* ''Film/HunkyDory'': When Viv, a drama teacher, praises the angelic singing voice of her student Davy, Tim replies, "Yeah, and such dreamy eyes."
138	* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse
139	** As apropos of a franchise chock full of ridiculously good-looking guys, several of the MCU men qualify for this descriptor, but the most prominent example is Captain America, who goes through every movie appearance being ogled by high-ranking male SHIELD agents, male Apple employees, male international terrorists, ComicBook/AntMan, etc.
140	** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Thor and Loki catch the eye of the Grandmaster, who is a DepravedBisexual.
141	** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': Thor is admiringly called a "handsome, muscular man" by Drax, who is literal and honest to a degree uncomfortable for most people.
142	** ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': When the Avengers go back in time, Tony and Scott do a MaleGaze on Past!Cap's ass, with Scott remarking, "As far as I'm concerned, that is America's ass!" Later serves as a BrickJoke when Cap ends up fighting himself, and he looks at himself remarking, "That ''is'' America's ass!"
143	* Music/DavidBowie's character Jack Celliers in the film ''Film/MerryChristmasMrLawrence'' has this effect on the Japanese POW commandant Captain Yonoi, due to his evident heroic qualities and respectable integrity. The entire plot of the movie is actually driven by this instance of distanced man-love.
144	* Mac in ''Film/{{Neighbors 2014}}'', upon seeing Teddy for the first time, says that Teddy is the sexiest guy he's ever seen.
145	* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'': EveryoneIsBi for Dr. Frank N Furter. Also Frank has made overtures towards Brad and slept with him and has great love towards Rocky.
146	* ''Film/ShortcutToHappiness'': After his DealWithTheDevil, Stone finds women lusting after him. At his book launch, he notices one of the male waiters eying him suggestively.
147	* Didier from ''Film/SonOfRambow'' is just ''that'' hot, enough to have [[UnwantedHarem a faithful posse of boys]] as well as girls.
148	* In ''Film/StepBrothers'', both Brennan and Dale said they would sleep with Creator/JohnStamos if they were a chick.
149	* Creator/BradPitt as [[DesignatedHero Achilles]] in ''Film/{{Troy}}'': ''in-universe'' example. (Of course, the Greeks were known for being a ''very'' gay-friendly society -- see Mythology below.)
150	* ''Film/VelvetGoldmine'': In addition to his wife and devoted female assistant, Brian Slade/[[AlterEgoActing Maxwell Demon]] insinuates his way into the hearts (and in some cases beds) of his manager Cecil, fellow rocker Curt, groupie-wannabe Arthur, and briefly his stylistic progenitor Jack Fairy. He breaks them all. Creator/JonathanRhysMeyers was once named the "Hottest Straight Guy We Wish Was Gay" by ''OUT'' Magazine.
151	%%* Scott Nash in ''Film/WhereTheBoysAre84'' which is about four college coeds going to Ft. Lauderdale during spring break to [[AllWomenAreLustful sow their wild oats]] (as described in more detail by [[http://movieloversreviews.blogspot.com/2013/01/where-the-boys-are-84.html Movie Lovers Review]]). This film was produced by Allan Carr who was [[HaveIMentionedIAmGay openly gay]], the screenplay was written by Stu Krieger and Jeff Burkhart and directed by Hy Averback. Carr personally fleshed out the backgrounds with personally inspected buff boys. Glendon Swarthout's official website says that it almost became "[[http://www.glendonswarthout.com/films/wheretheboysarefilm.htm the first gay beach picture]]".%%Is there a male character who's lusted after by straight guys? If not, it doesn't count.
152	* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''
153	** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
154	*** Even though they've only known each other for a couple of days, the oh-so-serious Erik Lehnsherr feels comfortable enough around the charming [[PrettyBoy Dr. Charles Xavier]] that he calls the telepath "adorable" when the latter tries the Cerebro machine for the first time. In the entire X-Men movie franchise, the dour Magneto never teases another male character for his cuteness, which goes to show how unique his affection for Professor X is. If you include Creator/MichaelFassbender's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umnOwvfR3d4 comments]] that Erik finds Charles to be "very endearing, and he was charmed by this man," then Lehnsherr considers Xavier to be a cutie pie inside ''and'' out.
155	*** In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wly1CHI86sA deleted scene,]] Charles projects an image of Erik wearing make-up, with a ginger wig, dressed in a sparkly blue miniskirt, fishnet stockings, and go-go boots. When Erik wonders why Angel is giggling, Charles' response is a cheeky, "You've never looked more beautiful, darling."
156	** ''Film/{{Deadpool 2016}}'':
157	*** During the end credits, an animated Deadpool looks at the "Starring" list and gets a huge boner for Ajax's actor, Ed Skrein, excitedly exclaiming that "He's the hottest!"
158	*** In a disturbing scene, Wade Wilson is tied up while Ajax prepares to torture him. Ajax flirts with him and says he's going to silence Wade's "pretty mouth."

161	[[folder:Manhwa]]
162	* ''Manhwa/TheBreaker'':
163	** Shi Woon is already a ChickMagnet but also gets some male attention. Hyuk So Chun seems to be rather... fascinated with Shi Woon after their fight. The second time he sees him, we are treated the image of Hyuk gripping his chest over his heart and a few stronger heartbeats. If there were any doubts.
164	--->"That boy was the first to make my heart race like that time..."
165	** There's also Mamungi, who has called Shi Woon cute ever since they met.
166	** [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/the_breaker/v06/c039/16.html This page]] has Chun Woo asking if Shi Woon is his girlfriend.
167	** Shi Woon's [[CurbStompBattle "fight"]] against the S.U.C. in 77 provokes [[WorthyOpponent some strange feelings]] in Yang Yong-Hyun.
168	* ''Webcomic/{{Noblesse}}'' features Rai, the absolutely [[{{Bishonen}} gorgeous]] badass ChickMagnet and Dude Magnet. In particular, Shinwoo seems to think he's pretty hot.
169	* Gray Yeon from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' is a {{Bishonen}} whose good looks have been pointed out by multiple male characters- including his friends Eugene and Alex, who have repeatedly found themselves blushing over how beautiful and cool Gray is.

172	[[folder:Music]]
173	* A traditional English folk song (Literature/{{Child Ballad\|s}} #100; it has many variations with different names, among them "John Barbour", "Tom the Barber", and "Willie O'Winsbury"), about a king's daughter who falls for a sailor and the king's disapproval, contains the following lines, where the king changes his mind:
174	-->''Then he called his sailors all/By one, by two, by three\
175	John Barbour was the first he called/But the last came down was he.\
176	When he came a dancing down,/He was clothed all in white\
177	His cheeks were like the roses red/And his teeth were ivory bright.\
178	He paid their wages with a smile/And to John Barbour he did say\
179	If I was a woman as I am a man/My bedfellow you would be.''
180	* There is a song by the English band Federal Drugs Administration, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbuCIbmMnss Rampant Russell]]", where the singer complains about how unfair it is that he's the ONLY one who hasn't slept with Russell Brand. He ends the song with "And I'm not even gay!"
181	* Peter Steele of Music/TypeONegative. Amplified by the fact that he posed naked for ''Playgirl.'' It got to the point where he wrote a Type O Negative song titled "I Like Goils" as a response to all of his male admirers.
182	* Music/{{Garbage}}'s song "Cherry Lips:"
183	--> "With your cherry lips and golden curls\
184	You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past\
185	And in your hot pants and high heels\
186	Why they could not believe that such a body was for real\
187	It seems like rainbows would appear\
188	Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear\
189	Because you look just like a girl\
190	Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast..."
191	* Subverted in Music/JayZ's "Run This Town" (Music/KanyeWest's rap):
192	-->"It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow\
193	...To everybody on your dick...no homo"
194	* Music/FranzFerdinand has "Michael".
195	-->[[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday This is what I am, I am a man]]\
196	[[IfItsYouItsOkay So come and dance with me, Michael]]\
197	So strong now, it's strong now\
198	So come and dance with me, Michael
199	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3lCzEOy5xs "Dibs"]] by Kelsea Ballerini contains the lines "I know everybody wants you" and "Make everybody jealous".
200	* Probably OlderThanSteam example: in "Willie O'Winsbury", the title character. The song starts with the king coming home from being imprisoned in Spain, finding his daughter Janet pregnant and Willie, father of the child, missing. At first, he wants to get Willie executed for this, but when the boy is finally found, the king is stunned by his beauty, leading to the immortal verse
201	-->"And it is no wonder" said the king\
202	That my daughter's love you did win\
203	For if I were a woman as I am a man\
204	My bedfellow you would've been
205	* A common theme in the music of Music/{{Eminem}}, fitting the [[QueerPeopleAreFunny homophobic shock humour]] and Em's general habit of making very weird flexes.
206	** On ''Music/TheSlimShadyLP'', one of the skits is a call purportedly from a DepravedHomosexual called Ken Kaniff who offers to do various sex stuff with Eminem, making Em [[{{Corpsing}} corpse]]. Ken turns up again on ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP'' recieving an extremely silly-sounding blowjob from both members of Music/InsaneClownPosse, until they WrongNameOutburst "Eminem". While not up for sex with him, Slim seems to be on good terms with Ken, with Slim describing him as a 'friend' in several songs.
207	** In "Stan", Stan's in love with Slim and thinks they 'should be together'.
208	** In "Medicine Ball" on ''Relapse'', Slim's able to find gay men to murder by tantalising and seducing them.
209	** WhatCouldHaveBeen: In "My Name Is", [[AlterEgoActing Slim Shady]] would have been down to have sex with his paedophilic English teacher if he hadn't been a guy, so he instead attacks him with classroom stationery. However, this line was removed from the song as Music/LabiSiffre's condition for clearing the sample, so instead Slim's teacher just keeps him HeldBackInSchool another year of Slim's adulthood.
210	** In "Can I Bitch", he accuses Canibus - who'd just released an album in which he rapped in character as Stan - of being in love with him, like Stan was. ("Wait! That's not an 'e', that's an 'a'. This dude wants to give me a ''massage'', he's gay!")
211	** In "Killshot", a lot of the song is about the idea that Music/MachineGunKelly is sucking his dick. (His mouth is too occupied with it to rap properly.)
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]
215	* Myth/ClassicalMythology:
216	** OlderThanFeudalism: Young men are considered suitable sex objects for mature men in Ancient Greece. For instance, the Spartan prince Hyacinthos was ''so'' handsome and athletic that both the [[BlowYouAway wind god]] Zephyrus and the god Apollo (one of the biggest [[TheCasanova Casanova]]s in the Greek pantheon -- after Zeus, that is) had HUGE StupidSexyFlanders over him and fought over his attention. With ''deadly'' consequences for the poor guy: thanks to Zephyrus, he got his skull ''opened with a flying discus'' for choosing Apollo. [[DroppedABridgeOnHim OUCH]]. Well, at least Apollo used Hyacinthos' blood to create the hyacinth flower, so...
217	** Alcyoneus was set to be a human sacrifice to the local [[OurDragonsAreDifferent drakaina]], Sybaris to leave Delphi alone, but demigod Eurybarus, a total stranger that was simply [[BecauseDestinySaysSo fated]] to come that way, had such LoveAtFirstSight for the youth that upon learning the situation, ''immediately'' switched places and slew the monster.
218	* The Nala episode of ''Literature/TheMahabharata'' opens with a lengthy description of Nala's virtues, including the fact that he was "desired by both men and women".
219	* Loki of Myth/NorseMythology likes to crossdress and turn into females from different species now and then. He once seduced a horse to prevent it from helping a giant take over Asgard.
220	* The biblical Joseph, according to the commentaries (but not the actual Bible). Everybody knows about Potiphar's wife, but did you know that one of Potiphar's motives for buying Joseph was Joseph's astounding good looks? Luckily, before anything could happen, the angel Gabriel castrated Potiphar.
221	** Joseph's beauty is a big deal in various mystical Islamic traditions. In Sufism, Joseph is basically the epitome of male beauty.
222	[[/folder]]
223
224	[[folder:Print Media]]
225	* Any guy who's posed nude in ''Playgirl''. Even though [[AllWomenAreLustful many of its readers]] ''are'' women, former editor Michelle Zipp admitted that the magazine attracts much [[AllGaysArePromiscuous gay male readership]]. Their spokesman, Daniel Nardico said that the magazine appeals to both men and women. While its DistaffCounterpart, ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' says "Entertainment for Men" on the cover, ''Playgirl'' says "Entertainment for Everyone" on its cover.
226	[[/folder]]
227
228	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
229	* Wrestling/AJStyles attracts women without even trying, and at Wrestling/RingOfHonor's ''All-Star Extravaganza VI'' a fan spontaneously kissed the back of AJ's head, despite it being full of hair, after he defeated Wrestling/AdamCole.
230	* Panama City Playboy himself Wrestling/AdamCole is the sexiest thing in professional wrestling. He not only intimates women like Wrestling/SuYung with his sexiness but also enrages to the totally straight Wrestling/KevinSteen, who can't help but acknowledge it. He was also open mouth kissed by Wrestling/JimmyJacobs, who until then had only shown sexual interest in women.[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
233	* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' allows the enhancement Universal to be added to various levels of Appearance making it so that not only do the guy and girl like you but ''anything sentient'' will find you attractive.
234	* The dark splatterpunk roleplaying game TabletopGame/{{KULT}} features a bunch of disadvantages and curses for {{Player Character}}s, among which is the flaw "Sexy" (with the prerequisite that the character needs to have a high Charisma score before the player can select it). Any character having this disadvantage exudes massive sexual magnetism, which transcends cultural norms, gender or sexual orientation. As the rulebook puts it, the character will have to live with the fact that anyone he or she meets will not listen to a word (s)he says but stare at his/her ass, crotch or breasts (respectively) and launch a massive seduction attempt, ''whether the character wants to have sex or not''. Of course, this being KULT, "seduction attempt" can easily mean groping or rape. In fact, it doesn't matter if the character is chaste like a saint or a shameless rake, (s)he is still fresh meat on the market, figuratively speaking.
235	** You don't want to know what happens when "fresh meat" is meant literally. "Cannibalism" is another flaw entirely.
236	[[/folder]]
237
238	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
239	* ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'': Both rock 'n' roll Prosecutor Klavier Gavin and Apollo Justice, seem to attract quite a bit of attention from men and women alike, particularly Klavier who Apollo even admits is "dazzling" and says he'll "wipe that smile off your pretty face, Gavin", whereas Apollo seems to attract the attention of Klavier to the point Klavier's sexual orientation could be questioned particularly in Case 2 of the game and the [[NoExportForYou Japanese Only Quiz DLC]] for Dual Destinies where Klavier admits he's never felt this way towards a man before, and the DLC Quiz has plenty of friendly jabs at both Apollo and Klavier's orientation, even more so than Phoenix and Edgeworth. Also if you examine the detention center guard in Case 4 of Apollo Justice, Apollo notes he is winking at him.
240	* ''VisualNovel/BeyondEden'''s protagonist Alex Wake inspires this in every one of his "love" interests (revenge targets), regardless of what orientation they'd had. His paramours include a [[IfItsYouItsOkay previously "ladies-only"]] Frenchman, an old divorced doctor who'd only ever considered sex with his wife, two emotionally repressed noblemen with little experience with sexuality, and only ''one'' explicitly gay man (a butler).
241	* ''VisualNovel/BlessingOfTheCampanella'': Leicester. Even Golem blushes around him.
242	* Shirou Emiya from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Issei "Blushes Like Mad Whenever Shirou So Much As Looks At Him Funny" Ryudou has a fairly obvious crush on him.
243	** In ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'', there's a scene where Issei and Shinji Matou pretty much squabble like children for Shirou's attention.
244	* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' takes place at an all-bird boys' school. According to the drama [=CDs=] and the official manga, this does not stop Yuuya Sakazaki from receiving love letters and seeds on Legumentine's Day (the bird equivalent of Valentine's). He even comments on his popularity with the guys in a cutscene when he finds Ryouta and Sakuya talking about him; Sakuya is his ''brother''.
245	* Keiichi of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' has a few members of his group of female friends attracted to him. Also, when he demonstrated to a male baseball player his badass K persona the baseball player is shown making a face that looks similar to a G-rated orgasm while blushing and screaming "K!" while kneeling and reaching after a retreating Keiichi.
246	* Hatate of ''Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara'' is a ChickMagnet and Megumu develops a crush on him as well.
247	* ''VisualNovel/LoveElectionAndChocolate'': Yuuki is a ChickMagnet and Oboro has a blatant crush on him.
248	* Riki and Kyousuke of ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters''. For example, Riki looks up to Kyousuke a huge amount, to the point of describing him mentally in almost poetic terms worthy of a lovestruck shoujo heroine -- in one of the first scenes, he says he totally understands why people come from across the school to watch Kyousuke (in the anime, why girls come to watch him), and that when he reads manga he looks 'divine'. Also, Kyousuke is once shown making ambiguous sexual/romantic comments to Riki.
249	* ''[[Literature/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU]]''
250	** Hachiman has Totsuka show a large amount of affection towards him.
251	** Totsuka is so cute that in Episode 13 of the anime he incapacitates several other boys. Also, Hachiman doesn't seem to mind getting HoYay with him.
252	* Yeonho from ''VisualNovel/{{Nameless}}'' has a notable scene where admirers of his {{Moe}} are crowding around, girl and guy. Although he doesn't stay like this throughout the whole route.
253	* Kousaku is a ChickMagnet and in ''VisualNovel/NoRin'' has attracted the attention of Rose who succeeds in tricking Kousaku to play the PockyGame with him in order to kiss him.
254	* ''VisualNovel/OokamiKakushi'': Hiroshi Kuzumi. Just ask [[DepravedBisexual Issei]], who stalks and tries to molest Hiroshi a few times.
255	* ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'': Makoto is even more of a ChickMagnet ([[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap and his worse traits are toned down]], thank God) in the OAV. [[spoiler:LOL, Taisuke!]]
256	** And Yuuki from ''Cross Days''.
257	* It is an ironclad fact in ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' that everyone has a thing for [[DudeLooksLikeALady Luka Urushibara]]. ''[[http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/8517/everyonesgayforrukako.png Everyone]]''
258	** In one episode Daru states about Luka in drag "Balls or not man, I would so hit that."
259	** Okabe. It is hinted that Luka does have romantic feelings for him.
260	* In ''VisualNovel/YearningAGayStory'', James' good looks are commented on by virtually every character who meets him, including Dan who claims that every single girl and non-straight guy on campus has a crush on James. Even the player character's straight friend Adam admits when pressed by Carlos that if he were into men, James would be high up on his list.
261	[[/folder]]
262
263	[[folder:Webcomics]]
264	* In one ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' episode, Paulo declares to a group of Mike's female admirers that Mike [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c11/p3.html plays for the other team.]] Cue Mike's ''male'' fansquad.
265	* Though most of the characters in ''Webcomic/BlurTheLines'' are already gay, one of the main character's straight friends [[http://www.blur-the-lines.com/?p=56 would go for]] Creator/BradPitt.
266	* ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'': Skids. As in, girls want him, gays want him, bisexuals want him, and his best friend who's otherwise heterosexual wants him.
267	* In ''WebComic/CommanderKitty'', CK's exploits have made him so famous that [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/01/03/good-to-be-back/ even the Cat President]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/01/11/doing-a-heck-of-a-job-butterball/ is smitten with him]]. [[spoiler: [[AllJustADream Of course, this is all just a dream]].]]
268	%%* Just about every single male character in ''Webcomic/TheDreamer''.
269	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
270	** Tedd without his OpaqueNerdGlasses occasionally runs into this... and just thinking about it tends to weird him out.
271	** Noah has, apparently, "[[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-01-26 been told [he] could make straight men see rainbows]]".
272	* [[http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20080906.html One strip]] of ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' was basically Lothar confessing his man-crush on Ron Perlman.
273	* ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'' gives us [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=120 Ooh, Mr. Darcy]]. "Meanwhile in a 20-mile radius of this event: Bodices ripping, men turning gay."
274	* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', every single member of [[spoiler:Jake English]]'s circle of friends has a crush on him, including the other boy, and (sort of) his AI duplicate. Justified in that the other boy ''is'', in fact, gay. {{Deconstructed}} a little later on. Because all of his friends have a thing for him, there isn't a single person he can go to to talk about any of this (until [[spoiler:Jane accidentally and inaccurately tells him she doesn't have a thing for him]], anyway), he's constantly having to tip-toe around sensitive subjects without letting anyone else find out what anyone else feels or that he knows about it, often questions whether it's even true in the first place or he's all just egotistically imagining it, and is showing signs of wanting to get together with one of them partly because he feels guilty about rejecting everyone.
275	* ''Webcomic/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaRr'': ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [[http://www.entropymax.com/ R'r]]'' took the ViewerGenderConfusion of Yuuno to its logical conclusion. While he's not very lucky with the ladies, [[http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/6200/nanoharr57trkj9.png he's incredibly popular with the guys]] even before he got smacked with a GenderBender.
276	* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' and its spinoff, ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'':
277	** Dillon is the primary candidate:
278	*** Seeing him dressed up as ComicBook/BlackCanary or porn star Amber-Amber is often distracting for men; he can certainly attract a certain amount of passing straight male interest when he's in drag, and male readers are often prepared to agree that this is plausible.
279	*** Impersonating Amber-Amber (Gary's favorite porn star) even got Gary to make out with him under the pretense of Dillon helping Gary learn how to do it right, albeit to no apparent lasting effect on Gary's sexuality or attitude to Dillon.
280	*** Dillon has claimed to have "turned" several straight guys in the past with his Swirly-Go-Round kissing technique. ''However,'' after Ruby extracted some details from him, she pointed out that it was much more likely that they were bisexual or gay, but either in denial or using this claim as a way to brush Dillon off.
281	*** Dillon has also kissed his old crush Ray who thinks about how "hot" it was despite being straight and considers that he might be "a little bi". When Dillon reveals that he's gay and imagines Amber as Creator/ChrisHemsworth as Thor when he kisses her Ray admits "Any straight man could agree he's handsome."
282	*** It continues when a grown-up Julian, whom Dillon babysat when he was younger, shows up to confess that he has a crush on Dillon. He also ends up becoming an OfficialCouple with the male Jerzy, complete with sex and promises of marriage.
283	** Gary has attracted numerous girls with his good looks, geeky NiceGuy status as well as his skill with the Swirly-Go-Round oral sex technique. He's also attracted Dillon (gay) and Matt (bisexual) imagines his sexual partner with Gary's head, has thought about having sex with him and is willing to engage in a foursome with him. He's even managed to have Yuki, who's a lesbian, [[IfItsYouItsOkay make an exception for him]]. Also, James who's straight mentioned he wouldn't mind getting oral sex from Gary and thought about him while having sex with Tracy. Also when Gary GrewASpine during a talk with James and Tracy, James got horny, dreamily calling Gary “What a man!” and tried to get him to date him.
284	* Marius from ''Webcomic/MyLifeInBlue'' is an [[{{Bishounen}} androgynously handsome]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} trans guy]] with admirers of all sexes and sexual orientations. He tends to get annoyed when lesbians hit on him, though. Alex also has the habit of making people question their sexuality in his presence.
285	* [[spoiler:The human form of Artie]] from ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' achieves this status, as [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=10245 Dave is forced to admit]].
286	* The artist of ''Webcomic/{{Niels}}'' drew [[http://nielsg.com/if-he-only-knew this strip]] specifically to rebuff accusations of the title character being this, pointing out that 300's flirting with Niels probably ''isn't'' something [[TransparentCloset a straight man would do]].
287	* The Elven King [[ThemeNaming Tegretol]] in ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'' seems this way with all of the Elves in his castle. It's also implied many of his admirers have [[EthicalSlut been with him]] as well.
288	* Variant in ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'', where no less than two lesbians (admittedly, both pre-coming-out at the time) crush badly on Marshall.
289	* ''Webcomic/ThePrincesssJewels'': In episode 11, a royal delegation from the Kingdom of Darhan parades through the Kingdom of Arbezela to deliver Haun Baek to Princess Ariana for her RoyalHarem. As Haun Baek is being watched by the crowd, a number of women, and a man, are shown blushing at the sight of him>
290	* In [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1770 this]] ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', Marten is just as enthusiastic about parts of Sven as the girls are.
291	* Tip from ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'', by the same author as ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', is so attractive that [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=40137#157548 even male dogs want him]]. [[spoiler:When he himself is turned into a wolf, anyway]]. Not to mention [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=46115 Gavotte]] a literal HiveMind by virtue of being a swarm of bees. Who STILL wants Tip. And now that ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' has been defined as a sequel to ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' (to much {{Squee}} from... well, all the fans), the natural result is that Tip and Artie [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=48770 meet up]].
292	* ''Two Sides'' Sebastian is such this trope that not only has he turned down both sexes asking him out, but it also makes him ''perfect'' for [[DraggedIntoDrag cross-dressing]] to make money on the side as a prostitute and even his own ''classmate'' (and eventual [[IfItsYouItsOk boyfriend]]), [[NewTransferStudent Damian]] didn't recognize him until telling him.
293	[[/folder]]
294
295	[[folder:Web Original]]
296	* According to the fans of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2m4eEbnR5I&feature=related this video]], Completely heterosexual guys were falling in love with Kurt.
297	* WebVideo/AndreTheBlackNerd shows this rather blatantly toward Captain America in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDbi5x0gSNY review]] for ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''
298	* In the WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh review of ''Film/TheDevils'', even the lesbian WebVideo/DiamandaHagan swooned at the sight of Oliver Reed in that movie. Oancitizen is terrified by that.
299	-->'''Diamanda:''' ''[when asked how she feels about penises]'' Disgusting! ''[Oancitizen shows her a picture of Oliver Reed]'' How can you stand having one of those attached to your... ''[gasps and faints in delight]''
300	-->'''Minion:''' Mistress, are you okay?
301	-->'''Diamanda:''' OLIVER REED!
302	-->'''Oancitizen:''' ''[stares at the picture in horror]'' I must only use this power for good.
303	** Another victim, WebVideo/JesuOtaku, later came out as a transgender man, so now we really ''can'' say 'Even The Guys Want Oliver Reed'.
304	* [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-science-sexy-5-tips-to-make-yourself-more-attractive/ One Cracked column]] about scientifically proven ways for men to become more sexually appealing talks about the phenomenon of women liking men who have dogs as pets (the cuter the better), mentioning Bradley Cooper in the process. Since no paraphrase can do this justice, we'll just quote how Curve (the author) starts the second paragraph of this section:
305	--> '''Curve:''' Science and religion tell us Bradley Cooper is a handsome man and even a [[HaveIMentionedThatIAmHeterosexualToday straight online comedy writer]] [[HoYay might want to hold him ever so close because he looks like he wears cologne that smells like chopped wood and would be warm and comforting like grandma's chicken noodle soup poured into a bowl shaped like a man with the most charming and rugged smile you ever swooned over. But if you gave Bradley Cooper an adorable wiener dog]], well, [[ItsOkayIfItsYou now you just have to give up being straight and bed him this instant in an urgent yet gentle and fulfilling way]]. I mean, I think that's how it works.
306	* ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'' has Raye Penber who is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fu2nykadfY&list=PL66A1A5413B5E90F8&index=114&feature=plpp_video "so awesome [he] turns guys bi,"]] and L who Light has a [[{{Yandere}} crazy one-sided crush on]], and Light has his own UnwantedHarem which includes the likes of [[MemeticMolester Ryuk]], Namikawa, [[StalkingIsLove Near]], and [[FriendsWithBenefits Mikami]].
307	* Donnie [=DuPre=] from WebVideo/DemoReel seems to be a case of ''only'' guys wanting him. His wife hates him, a blonde girl who he tries hitting on is completely uninterested, while he and Rebecca share some ShipTease she's still aiming for Tacoma, and the less said about the {{yandere}} daughter the better, but Tacoma, Carl, Uncle Yo, Creator/{{Egoraptor}} and Quinn all eventually melt under his sad PuppyDogEyes and shameless flirting.
308	* ''Roleplay/FurryFury'': Actually more like ONLY the guys want him. Poor Sinku.
309	* Creator/GavinFree, resident CloudCuckoolander of Creator/AchievementHunter fame, to the extent that Creator/MichaelJones' wife, Lindsay, joked that while guys have to worry about their girlfriends running off with Gavin, she has to worry about ''Michael'' doing it. It's become a running joke to the point that Michael and Gavin got ''fake married'' in ''Minecraft'' and she objected only because Michael didn't bring up the idea of polygamy. A surprising number of male fans on the forums would hit that if presented with the opportunity, and he once caught the attention of an older male chef during a television shoot that he was a crew member on. One story told on the Rooster Teeth podcast was that an extremely drunk Burnie Burns hallucinated him in an empty chair and started kissing the empty space, much to the amusement of Burnie's fianceé.
310	* As his name might suggest, WebAnimation/GorgeousFreeman from the series of the same name has yet to meet anyone, man or woman, who didn't find him irresistably sexy. In fact, the men tend to be ''more'' attracted to him.
311	* Daichi from ''Literature/GreekNinja''. During the final battle, Creon notes that he's good-looking after seeing him when Sasha saved him from being decapitated. Having said that though, [[ReallyGetsAround Creon had tried to make a pass on Sasha earlier...]]
312	* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', the only people who are not aroused by the Custodes are the Emperor, Kitten and a couple of Inquisitors, regardless of their gender.
313	* ''WebVideo/TheJokerBlogs''
314	** As in other versions the Joker makes some suggestive comments suggesting flirting to Batman.
315	** Tommy Elliot, seems to favor the guys, and is shown as getting many to bed with him in an episode merely by using a flirtatious look.
316	* Sasuke in ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow''. Naruto has an obvious crush on him.
317	* Creator/WillSmith, according to both the WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]]. The former's video review of ''Film/IndependenceDay'' is basically one long love letter to Will Smith interspersed with commentary whenever Will is not on screen.
318	-->'''Nostalgia Critic:''' ''[after slapping himself]'' Boobs! You like ''boobs''!
319	* From WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's review of ''Film/KateAndLeopold'':
320	-->'''Nostalgia Chick:''' Creator/HughJackman. All the women want him. And at least 25% of the men. And the other 75% at least a little.
321	* ''WebVideo/PrettyDudes'' has this not only with the character Ellington, but in real life as co-stars (of all sexualities) have also publically drooled over Xavier Avila, the actor who plays him.
322	* WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows feels this way about Music/{{Usher}}.
323	* In ''Literature/AWorldLessVisible'', Gabriel regularly gets stared at by both genders.
324	-->'''Laura:''' I think the amount of leering going on during his shifts at the dunk tank just proves that Gabriel here makes even straight men question their sexuality. Right?\
325	'''Michaels:''' NO!
326	'''Stephan:''' Little bit. ''(various side glances)'' What? He's pretty.
327	* Duke Devlin from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. This is what Joey Wheeler says of Duke: "What does he have that I don't got?... besides the fangirls?... and the pretty hair?... and those gorgeous green eyes?" Duke then reminds Joey about his "sweet ass", and Joey admits, "Yeah, and a sweet ass too! But other than that, he's got nothing."
328	-->'''Male Narrator:''' Warning: This episode contains copious amounts of Duke Devlin. Women with heart conditions are advised to not look directly at Duke Devlin. This also applies to women without heart conditions; he's very pretty. See? See how pretty he is? He's very pretty. I'd like to run my fingers through his hair, and I'm just a voice.\
329	'''Yami:''' Mustn't... look... directly at his face... so beautiful! No words to describe it... they should have sent a poet!
330	** It was even {{lampshade\|Hanging}}d by Duke himself in Episode 38: "I know how she feels. Guys are proposing to me all the time!"
331	--->'''Tristan:''' Duke, I already told you I was joking!
332	** "Who ''hasn't'' had dream sex with Kaiba?"
333	--->"[[MakesSenseInContext You've got good taste in this life just like you did in your last]]. Must say, he's quite a beauty. You make a cute couple."
334	** When Kaiba enters the classroom in the second episode of season 0, Yugi says, "He's dreamy!"
335	** Yami directs HoYay towards Yugi in "What Would Yugi Do" and Jack Atlas seems to bear some kind of HoYay towards Yugi. He gives us this gem, complete with an uncharacteristically soft voice: "The greatest duelist that ever lived. I love him." And then there's Kaiba's apparent obsession with Yugi. Then during episode 15 between Bakura (not Florence) and Yugi.
336	--->'''Téa:''' Hey, stop groping my Yugi muffin.\
337	'''Bakura:''' Bugger off, you had your chance.
338	** Yami also openly flirts with Yusei.
339	** Marik and Bakura seem to have some BelligerentSexualTension of sorts going on.
