** [[BigBad Dio Brando]] naturally, since VampiresAreSexGods has attracted scores of women through his powerful evil charisma and [[EvilIsSexy his devastating sexiness]]. Both Mariah and Midler claim as handsome they find the Joestars (Joseph and Jotaro), they would never betray their beloved lord Dio for them. Apparently, a large number of women have fallen so hard for his charms that they willingly gave their life to him, letting him drink all of their blood. The only two women in the series who have resisted Dio's charms are Erina and Poco's unnamed sister, the former even washed her mouth out in a puddle after Dio gave her a ForcedKiss - much to Dio's narcissistic fury.

* ''Manga/HimechanNoRibon'': Hime-chan, while disguised as Daichi (a boy with a huge fanbase in the school due to his dequilent nature), tries to tell Hikaru, his number one fan, to stop liking him because he's dangerous... which only makes her like him even more and declare that he is extremely "cool".

** Parodied in Chapter 32 when Nozaki received an [[StylisticSuck over the top]] [[RomanceGame Otome Game]] from his editor and decided to play it with Hori and Wakamatsu. The trio soon became amazed by the persistence of the female lead in chasing the cast of largely JerkAss [[{{Bishonen}} guys]].

** Parodied completely throughout Franky’s “[[RatedMForManly hard boiled]]” fight with Senior Pink. The gathered women go wild at the both of them, despite Franky and Senior Pink telling them to buzz off and repeatedly telling them to shut up which only gets the ladies even more hot and bothered.

* Bad boy Yusuke in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' is the object of good girl Keiko's desires. It helps that they are childhood friends. Being a {{Tsundere}}, Keiko also isn't really attracted to his bad boyness, never hesitating to bitch slap him when he acts bad in her presence. Keiko is the ''only'' girl attracted to Yusuke. The other girls in Sarayashiki are afraid of him, and more than once, they ask her "Keiko-chan, just [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim what do you see in him]]?!" It helps that (delinquent rebelliousness aside), Yusuke is actually surprisingly nice most of the time, especially as he matures as the series goes on.

** In a gender-inversion, Krillin, an all-around good guy, married Android 18, a killer {{cyborg}} and someone who stated she wanted to kill his best friend, simply for giving him a kiss on the cheek. Also ''Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound'' Krillin gets a crush on the titular BigBad’s DarkChick [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Zangya]].

** [[DarkChick Karin]]. [[StalkerWithACrush Dear God]], [[{{Yandere}} Karin]]. Although at the end of the Kage Summit arc Karin ditched Sasuke after he tried to kill her, [[spoiler:in Chapter 574, we see her torn between fawning over and bashing a hand-made portrait of him. Sasuke [[EasilyForgiven needs only make the briefest of apologies to get her back on his side]]. She does vent her angst by pounding the snot out of Suigetsu, though]].

** Speaking of which, Sanji can be seen as a GenderInverted example. As he falls completely for multiple bad girls such as ClassyCatBurglar Nami, former assassin Robin and several [[DarkChick Dark Chicks]] Kalifa, Ulti and the aforementioned Black Maria. One seemingly exception is his fiancée NiceGirl Pudding [[spoiler: who turns out to be a MasterActor and is actually CuteAndPsycho, though she falls for Sanji for real]].

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'': Sousuke Sagara is a {{subver|tedTrope}}sion. A highly-skilled military specialist who works for a mercenary company, who knows half-a-dozen ways to kill you before you hit the floor, and who's been an assassin since he was ''eight'', with enough of a DarkAndTroubledPast for two or three protagonists, is prime bad-boy material. And yet the qualities for which he's best loved, both in the series and in real life, are his loyalty, dedication to duty, determination, stalwart protectiveness (in a good way), {{chast|eHero}}ity, and frequently naive earnestness. Furthermore, his tendency to seek violent solutions whether or not they are appropriate drives off prospective matches (except [[VillainousCrush Gauron]], but that's because [[StalkerWithACrush he's]] [[InLoveWithYourCarnage Gauron]]).

* Tomoya from ''VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}}'' is a bad boy who is often outright nasty towards the girls he meets (maybe due to how he often interacts with Kyou, a fierce and masculine girl), confronting them with his sarcastic attitude and making snide remarks at their expense. He also loves to play pranks on them (especially on Fuko), but that doesn't stop most of the girls from swooning over him toward the end of the series. He ends up with the good girl, Nagisa. Though he starts like this ([[ChickMagnet with girls falling for him left and right]]), he gets considerable character development in the anime.

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' anime. Maria likes Brandon not because of his bad boy image; instead, she [[LoveAtFirstSight immediately falls for him]] when [[ChronicHeroSyndrome he saves her from some hoodlums]]. Brandon himself, too, is actually a loyal, caring man despite being a street punk who often gets in street brawls. Unfortunately, said profession becomes a problem when Uncle Jester (Maria's guardian/foster father) sees him walking home with Maria.

* ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro Kujo]] gets [[ChickMagnet far more female attention]] than he's comfortable with. He tries to rectify this by bluntly telling any girl who approaches him to piss off. This has worked exactly zero times.

** [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke Higashikata]] looks like the archetypal Japanese delinquent and is just as much a ChickMagnet as his nephew(!) Jotaro ([[TangledFamilyTree It's complicated]]). {{Subverted}} in that he only looks that way for street-cred, and is very much a NiceGuy ([[BewareTheNiceOnes unless you manage to piss him off]]).
** BigBad Dio naturally, since VampiresAreSexGods has attracted scores of women through his powerful evil charisma and [[EvilIsSexy his devastating sexiness]]. Both Mariah and Midler claim as handsome they find the Joestars (Joseph and Jotaro), they would never betray their beloved lord Dio for them. Apparently, a large number of women have fallen so hard for his charms that they willingly gave their life to him, letting him drink all of their blood. The only two women in the series who have resisted Dio’s charms are Erina and Poco’s unnamed sister, the former even washed her mouth out in a puddle after Dio gave her a ForcedKiss - much to Dio’s narcissistic fury.

* In the "Cupid's Day" episode of ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Shirley says that it is her duty to [[ICanChangeMyBeloved "reform" Lelouch]] because she believes that he's "a failure as a person". That being said, it is also very clear that Shirley only is attracted to Lelouch for his noble qualities, having gone from hating him to admiring him after she saw him stand up for an elderly couple and not take credit or brag for it. If Lelouch was just a bad boy Shirley would not want anything to do with him.

* Both played straight and inverted in ''Manga/AngelDensetsu'', with the ''same character''. More than one girl falls for the main character, who is exactly everything a Bad Boy is NOT. He is, however, seen as one by everyone else in the cast. ''Also'' either played straight or inverted with most other cast members. At one point, king of the IdiotBall Kuroda tries to "save" Ryoko from Kitano, because he ''thinks'' she's suffering from this trope, and sees himself as the good guy. Ryoko, of course, likes Kitano because he's a AllLovingHero and despises Kuroda (who ''poses'' as a bad boy). Oh, and Ryoko is quite the bad girl herself, but poses as mostly harmless. Confused yet? Because that's just the start of it.

** BigBad Dio naturally, since VampiresAreSexGods has attracted scores of women through his powerful evil charisma and [[EvilIsSexy his devastating sexiness]]. Both Mariah and Midler claim as handsome they find the Joestars (Joesph and Jotaro), they would never betray their beloved lord Dio for them. The only two women in the series who have resisted Dio’s charms are Erina and Poco’s unnamed sister, the former even washed her mouth out in a puddle after Dio gave her a ForcedKiss - much to Dio’s narcissistic fury.
