'''Basic Trope''': Guy who finds an ActionGirl attractive ''because of'' said ActionGirl credential.
* '''Straight''': Bob is attracted to [[AmazonianBeauty Maria]], the world's greatest martial artist.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Bob sees Maria [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punch someone across a football field]] and falls in LoveAtFirstSight
** InLoveWithYourCarnage
* '''Downplayed''': Maria is a martial artist which Bob thinks is kinda cool and provides something for them to talk about.
* '''Justified''':
** During her feats of ass-kickery, Maria displays incredible [[PowerPerversionPotential strength, flexibility, and stamina]] -- often while [[{{Stripperific}} not wearing much]].
** Bob is a martial artist and so is Maria. They meet at a tournament and consider the other a WorthyOpponent. [[BirdsOfAFeather It develops from there.]]
** Bob finds confidence and strength attractive.
* '''Inverted''':
** NoGuyWantsAnAmazon
** AllAmazonsWantHercules
** WomenPreferStrongMen
* '''Subverted''': Bob just likes her for... [[BuxomBeautyStandard other things.]]
** Bob just likes her for qualities outside of martial prowess and conventional beauty.
* '''Doubly Subverted''': ...that's not to say he doesn't also want her for her fighting skills.
* '''Parodied''':
** Every time Maria so much as threatens someone, Bob starts drooling.
** Bob keeps a punchbag in their bedroom for foreplay purposes.
** Maria's incredible strength and power makes [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Roberta fall in love with her]].
** Maria is an absolute, [[BrownNoteBeing mind-scarring]] {{Gonk}} who is also an awesome fighter. Bob is quite easy on the eyes. [[UglyGuyHotWife He is utterly smitten with her because of her fighting prowess]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''': One day, the boys want Maria for her fighting skills. The next, they want her for her boobs. Then, she becomes a LadyOfWar, and they want her for her fighting skills. The next day, they want her for her MurderousThighs.
* '''Averted''': Maria's martial arts skills have no effect on her attractiveness.
* '''Enforced''':
** AuthorAppeal. The AUTHOR is an AmazonChaser.
** The author wants to avoid the sexism associated with NoGuyWantsAnAmazon.
** The author wants to add in a TokenRomance.
* '''Lampshaded''': "You do realize Maria could grind you into the floor if she wanted to, right?" "[[{{Fetish}} I'd enjoy every minute of it!]]"
* '''Invoked''':
** Bob falls in love with an ActionGirl, but it doesn't end well for whatever reason. This causes Bob to find {{Action Girl}}s attractive because it reminds him of her.
** Bob wants to feel safe so he decides to date women who are capable of protecting him.
** Bob is a great warrior, and wants a wife [[BattleCouple who can fight by his side in battle]]. As a result, he will only marry a woman who is a WorthyOpponent.
* '''Exploited''': Jackie is attracted to Bob who is an AmazonChaser so she decides to become a better fighter.
* '''Defied''': Bob refuses to go out with {{Action Girl}}s because he does not want to look wimpy in comparison.
* '''Discussed''': "NoManWantsAnAmazon? Are they ''crazy?'' No way. There is nothing hotter than a chick who can kill someone with their pinky. Heck, with the life I lead, a DamselInDistress would be the last person I'd date."
* '''Conversed''': "Of course some guys would be into an ActionGirl. That's half the reason the trope exists."
* '''Implied''': "Bob, why does your little black book read like the membership list at the local women's dojo?"
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Eventually Maria has to retire. Bob abandons her now that she no longer has her one attractive quality.
** Maria starts fighting more and more for Bob's attention. Eventually her luck runs out.
** All that fighting takes its toll and eventually even amazon-ness isn't enough to compensate for [[ButterFace a face that has been smashed in a thousand times]].
** Maria eventually gets killed in a fight, leaving Bob heartbroken and depressed.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Maria is HappilyMarried to a NonActionGuy who would otherwise think that NoGuyWantsAnAmazon.
** Crippled from a particularly bad fight, Maria switches from physical fighting (for example, martial arts) to mental fighting (for example, chess). She meets Bob at a chess parlor.
** While checking out of the hospital for the nth time she meets someone [[RuleThirtyFour who is turned on precisely by 'action girls with faces that have been smashed a thousand times']].
** A face smashed in a thousand times is nothing a little MagicPlasticSurgery can't fix -- and with the cash she gets by fighting, it does absolutely no dent on her funds.
** Bob has fond memories of Maria's bravery and strengh, and decides those good times outweigh his sorrow. When he dies he's reuinted with Maria in WarriorHeaven.
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Tony, Joey, and Jorge, Troperville High's default {{School Idol}}s, go crazy over Maria, the school's best tennis player, so they start a hilariously violent "civil war" to decide who keeps her, much to Maria's chagrin because [[LesbianJock she's not interested in men, at all!]]
** Tony and Maria are stereotypical lovey-dovey high-school-sweetheart types even in the middle of a massive brawl. Their FallingInLoveMontage is also as stereotypical as it can be contextually speaking, other than "[[SoundtrackDissonance Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head]]" playing over them doing googly eyes at each other across a battlefield.
