1 | '''Basic Trope''': A (usually [[HollywoodHomely unattractive]]) woman who hangs around with gay men. |
2 | * '''Straight''': [[NaiveEverygirl Alice]] hangs around with Bob and Charles as much as she hangs around with other women. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Alice is around Bob and Charles constantly, following them around like a one-woman GoldfishPoopGang. |
5 | ** Alice and her GirlPosse become a GoldfishPoopGang to Bob and Charles and {{Squee}} constantly. |
6 | ** Alice has no other friends besides Bob and Charles, and doesn't seem to have any interest in finding any. |
7 | * '''Downplayed''': Sometimes Alice is hanging out with Bob and Charles, other times she's not. |
8 | * '''Justified''': |
9 | ** Alice hangs around with Bob and Charles, not because they are gay, but because they are her friends or relatives, and because she genuinely likes them for who they are. |
10 | ** Alice is very attractive and hangs out with gay men because she wants to have fun without getting propositioned. |
11 | ** Alice was friends with Bob and/or Charles before it turned out they were dating. |
12 | ** Alice is a YaoiFanGirl. |
13 | ** Alice is a lesbian or bisexual and/or transgender woman. Bob and Charles are her [[BreakfastClub supportive close friends]] among the crowd of heteronormative society. |
14 | ** They are her coworkers. |
15 | ** Alice [[FemaleMisogynist despises other women]] so she chooses to hang out with a group of gay men instead. |
16 | * '''Inverted''': |
17 | ** [[HeteronormativeCrusader Alice]] is Bob and Charles' worst enemy and tries repeatedly to split them up. |
18 | ** [[OneOfTheGirls Charles]] is [[GayBestFriend the only gay man]] of the GirlPosse that he usually hangs out with. |
19 | * '''Gender-Inverted''': |
20 | ** [[UnluckyEverydude David]] is constantly seen with Alice and her girlfriend, Diana. |
21 | ** [[UnluckyEverydude David]] hangs out with Bob and his boyfriend, Charles. |
22 | * '''Subverted''': |
23 | ** Alice does hang out with Bob and Charles, but she also hangs around with other people, too. Including her boyfriend, David. And she's attractive. |
24 | ** Bob and Charles are just pretending to be gay to get closer to Alice, who wishes for a threesome. |
25 | ** It turns out that "Alice" is just a DragQueen persona of [[CampGay Alex]], another gay guy in the group. |
26 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
27 | ** Alice finds out that David is actually a {{Jerkass}}, so she splits up with him and develops a more intense friendship with Bob and Charles since she believes that AllTheGoodMenAreGay. |
28 | ** But she's also a YaoiFangirl who likes to watch Bob and Charles make out. |
29 | ** Bob and Charles find out each other as their ClosetKey. |
30 | ** Alice is a [[RecursiveCrossdressing female drag queen]], or later "Alex" comes out as a transgender woman while still befriending gay men, leading to this trope. |
31 | * '''Parodied''': Every time Alice befriends a man, it turns out he's gay. |
32 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': Alice acts alternately as Bob and Charles' best friend and as their worst enemy, to a point that confuses sometimes even the three of them. |
33 | * '''Averted''': |
34 | ** Alice has no gay male friends. |
35 | ** Alice has ''no'' friends, gay or straight, male or female. |
36 | ** Alice is totally indifferent towards gay people in general. |
37 | * '''Enforced''': "Every girl needs at least one gay guy friend!" |
38 | * '''Lampshaded''': "I'm Bob, and this is my boyfriend, Charles. Oh, and here's our number-one {{fan|girl}}, Alice." |
39 | * '''Invoked''': Alice needs male friends, so she decides to hang out with Charles and Bob. |
40 | * '''Exploited''': Dave is a gay man looking for a boyfriend, and becomes friends with Alice in hopes of her hooking him up with Charles or Bob. |
41 | * '''Defied''': |
42 | ** Alice tries to find companionship among gay guys, but neither Bob nor Charles is interested in having a woman in their social circle. |
43 | ** Alice hangs out with Bob and Charles but when she finds out they're gay, she stops seeing them because she doesn't want to be associated with the stereotype. |
44 | * '''Discussed''': |
45 | -->'''Charles''': [[CouldSayItBut What would you say if I told you]] Bob and I are lovers?\ |
46 | '''Alice''': I do like you and Bob for who you are. Well, okay, I did kinda hope it'd go somewhere deeper with one of you. I just wasn't sure which I thought I liked more, but--\ |
47 | '''Charles''': Bob and I are gay, Alice. |
48 | * '''Conversed''': "She does know they're gay, right?" "Oh, she knows, all right. She's probably with them because she's a perverted YaoiFangirl, and because she's too ugly and pathetic to get a real boyfriend." |
49 | * '''Deconstructed''': Alice hangs out with Bob and Charles because she's [[OldMaid single]] and [[HollywoodHomely plain-looking]] and insecure, so they make her feel like she has two boyfriends at once. She may also be with them because AllTheGoodMenAreGay, and because she [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan wishes they weren't.]] |
50 | * '''Reconstructed''': Alice stops feeling sorry for herself and [[BeautifulAllAlong puts more effort into her looks]] and gets a confidence boost. Enough so that she becomes less dependent on Bob and Charles, and maybe even finds herself a ''real'' boyfriend instead of just a [[LovingAShadow fantasy.]] |
51 | * '''Played for Laughs''': Bob and Charles do everything in their power to avoid Alice, but [[TheCatCameBack she just keeps coming back no matter how far they go or how hard they try!]] |
52 | * '''Played for Drama''': |
53 | ** Bob and Charles play a role in helping Alice gain confidence in herself (see "Reconstructed"). |
54 | ** Alice drops them as in "Defied", and Bob and Charles are confused. Can they mend their friendship with her? Do they even ''want'' to? |
55 | ** The HeteronormativeCrusader [[CureYourGays tried to "fix" Bob and Charles]] by forcing them to date Alice, but Alice gains sympathetic feelings with Bob and Charles so she befriends them and tries to be supportive as she can. |
56 | * '''Implied''': Alice is friends with Bob and Charles and they are both AmbiguouslyGay. |
