* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Although he occasionally plays the role of a {{Kidanova}}, Bart Simpson is usually surprisingly clueless about the effect he seems to have on girls, some of which are quite a few years older than him.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgKT3DEqCtk Hiro the Dense]]'' (also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-7AlOJ71kI part 2]]) plays this entirely for humor. It stars a warrior sent to the (female and [[EvilIsSexy sexy]]) demon lord as a sexual offering by his Order. The problem is, he is an IdiotHero who somehow is highly charismatic and also able to make a demoness gain an instant crush on him just by ''holding her hand''. He simply doesn't understand the concept of sex, [[ChasteHero completely oblivious to any lewd things going on around him]], and the as of yet unnamed Demon Lord speculates that the Order he serves specifically sent him ''deliberately'' just to make her life miserable. Her mother explains to her that there are those who are so incomprehensibly ''stupid'' that even the most powerful romantic/sexual charms (both normal and magical) have absolutely no effect on them.

* On ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug,'' both protagonists seem to attract a lot of admirers, in both their civilian and superhero identities. Marinette/Ladybug has Adrien, Theo (a.k.a. "Copycat"), Nathaniel, Luka, Nino and Zoé crushing on her at various points, while Adrien/Chat Noir has Marinette, Chloé, Kagami, Lila and Alya to a lesser extent (as Chat, per WordOfGod), as well as a [[GroupieBrigade small army of crazed fangirls]] due to his side job. Despite this, neither one seems to notice most of their admirers - Adrien, in particular, can be shockingly ObliviousToLove.

** Pearl has gotten several phone numbers over the years (one of them with "Call Me!" written on it, another signed with a ''lipstick kiss''), but doesn't know what they are and assumes it's some sort of code. Since [[SingleTargetSexuality she only ever had eyes for Rose Quartz]] and isn't familiar with Earth dating rituals, all of this just goes over her head. She's not even completely sure what a cell phone is for, even after she gets one for herself.

Compare AccidentalPornomancer, CelibateHero (who avoids romantic involvement that might interfere with The Cause) and ChasteHero (who's too young, dumb or [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} asexual]] to even be interested). See also SingleTargetSexuality, in which a character remains uninterested in potential love interests because they're only interested in one, and ObliviousToLove, where there is one specific person who is ''clearly'' head-over-heels for them but they don't realize it. Remember that this character does not have to be male, although it usually is.

* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' asserts that ''all'' guys are like this in "Dawn of the Commercials", coupled with NoGuyWantsToBeChased. Any time a woman expresses overt interest in a man, they won't pick up on it - exemplified by [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch]] hitting on one of her minions, then the Critic, and finally [[spoiler: Mark, from ''Film/TheRoom'', who was this trope in that movie, but tells her off for sexual harassment]]. Bonus points for her going so far as asking DoYouWantToCopulate with none of them picking up on it.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In season 3, Boimler has this trait. Initially we see it when he is visiting his family vineyard, in which he is obvious to the flirty comments from the girls, answering their questions literally. Whether this is because he hates vineyard life on Earth or because he just doesn't notice is ambiguous. This also extends to at least a few fellow Ceritos crewmembers, as Mariner needs a drink after a couple of Jennifer the Andorian's friends ask about whether he is single.

Despite this, neither one seems to notice most of their admirers - Adrien, in particular, can be shockingly ObliviousToLove.

Usually deliberately designed to be MrFanservice. This character also tends to be EndearinglyDorky, with the work relying on NerdsAreNaive to explain their total obliviousness. They are also very likely to be the main character of a [[HaremGenre Harem series]], to the point of it being a meme that Harem protagonists are among the densest characters in fiction.

Despite this, neither one seems to notice most of their admirers - Adrien, in particular, can be shockingly ObliviousToLove.

Remember that this character does not have to be male, although it usually is.

Often invokes [[{{Failure is the only option}} trouble]] for this character. He, though it can be she, loses the romance plot which draws the [[{{Die for our Ship}} shippers]]. On the other hand, if the character wises up, they often do so by losing what gave them the magnet. Again, lose. This character fails at romance, though not intentionally, like a {{Chaste Hero}} or {{Celibate Hero}}.

* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica:'' Sometimes, Steve seems to have no idea that he, a kind, generous, warm-hearted dork of a man who is also tremendously good looking, would be incredibly attractive to lots of women, sometimes even wondering ''what'' they see in him (or in some cases, not noticing they are sending signals his way, like the time a single mother invited him to a candle-lit dinner then very quickly told her son to hurry off to bed.)

Bonus points for her going so far as asking DoYouWantToCopulate with none of them picking up on it.
