Why? Usually because the [[KnightInShiningArmor intended "victim"]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness is completely]] [[TheFettered and totally]] [[{{Asexuality}} above such things]]. Or maybe he just knows better than to play Ms. Fanservice's game. Or else [[CelibateHero he's just not interested]] or [[ChasteHero doesn't even notice]].

*** Also considering he could take a peek whenever he wants to, it probably isn't a big deal to him.

* In ''ShadowOfTheLion'', Lucretia resents that Eneko and Marco spurned her advances despite magical aphrodesiacs. This is just another reason for her to kill them as painfully as possible.

* In the first ''{{Warhammer 40000}} [=~Gaunt's Ghosts~=]'' novel ''First and Only'', some Ghosts are negotiating with some local gangsters for contraband, ignoring a nearby stripping dancer in the process.

** Porn smokes and liquor, really. Unsurprisingly, during the pay off, things go [[{{Understatement}} awry]].

** UnfortunateImplications due to {{Truth in Television}}. Ever heard of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Brewer's Droop]]?
*** There is another UnfortunateImplication to comic fans. WomenInReferigerators anyone?
** Not just that: [[FridgeLogic isn't touching the can already an effective way to gauge the temperature?]]

* [[{{Asexuality}} Asexuals]] being hit on, in general.
* Anyone hitting on someone (of any orientation) who is [[IncompatibleOrientation not interested]] will tend to run into this.

* The episode "Mad Love" in ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' shows [[PerkyFemaleMinion Harley]] trying to get [[strike:the Joker's]] Mr. J's attention by wearing what could possibly be the skimpiest red night dress that could '''ever''' have been allowed on a children's cartoon, and lying suggestively in front of him. He roughly shoves her away, too absorbed in his plans.
** Don't forget Ms Quinn's classic DoubleEntendre line: "C'mon Mistah J! Don'cha wanna ''rev up'' your ''Harley''? VROOM! VROOM!" A fan art based on the scene is in the picture above.

** Later, Harley gets closer to killing Batman than anyone else in the series becauser Mr. J spends more attention on ''him'' than he does on her. Talk about FoeYay...

* Anyone of an hitting on someone (of any orientation) who is [[IncompatibleOrientation not interested]] will tend to run into this.

** Don't forget Ms Quinn's classic DoubleEntendre line: "C'mon Mistah J! Don'cha wanna ''rev up'' your ''Harley''? VROOM! VROOM!"

* In ''Shadow of the Lion'', Lucretia resents that Eneko and Marco spurned her advances despite magical aphrodesiacs. This is just another reason for her to kill them as painfully as possible.

* In the DoctorWho EighthDoctorAdventures novel ''Camera Obscura'', the first chapter concerns NobleDemon Sabbath meeting his MoralityPet ''du jour''. She's a [[{{Yangire}} violent]], [[BrokenBird troubled]] [[TheOphelia crazy teenage girl]]. Being used to men sexually harassing her, she decides to ShowSomeLeg to get him interested, as she's in a BedlamHouse and would like to leave. He ignores what she's doing until she gets bored of it. When she suggests that he might have prurient motives for hiring her, he's neither startled nor interested by it. By the end of the book, it's implied that they're having some sort of chaste love affair.

* Xander succeeds against the entire female cast of ''Buffy'' when a sex-appeal spell has been cast on him. For example, ambushed by Willow: "I've been in your bed before." Xander: "Yeah, but Will, we were both in footie pyjamas." Also: "Buffy. No, please don't open that raincoat."

* One of [[{{Superman}} Clark Kent's]] female co-workers suggests that he should get Lasik, since surgery worked wonders for her (while not so subtly showing off her augmented chest). Without ever taking his eyes off her face, he replied, "I didn't know you used to wear glasses."

* Classic example in ''Malice'': Nicole Kidman starts playing footsie with Bill Pullman under the table, telling him in a breathy voice how she misses him and still wants him, to which he coldly replies [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome "I think you dropped your shoe."]]

** UnfortunateImplications due to TruthInTelevision. Ever heard of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Brewer's Droop]]?

* Major Kusanagi in ''GhostInTheShell''. Subverted in ''Stand Alone Complex'' episode 14, "Automated Capitalism -- ¥?$". Major Kusanagi gets thrown into some garbage during a fight and has to change her costume into something more {{Stripperific}} than usual. When Chief Aramaki sees her, he asks her if she's trying to get his attention.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlReZgHy08 This]] is the trope [[RecycledINSPACE IN AN ELEVATOR!]]

* Possibly the UrExample would be [[TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh completely rejecting the Goddess of Love Inanna/Ishtar]], because he's heard her lovers tend to go through some sh* t once she's done with them. Of course, spurning her [[{{Understatement}} doesn't get him into her good graces either]]...

* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0352.html This strip]] of ''{{The Order of the Stick}}'' has Roy's attention-seeking little sister completely failing to distract Durkon from his spell with her "attributes".
** And in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0355.html this one]], when Roy is confronted by a [[CatholicSchoolGirlsRule schoolgirl outfit]]-wearing Sabine and she offered herself to him, he chooses to defenestrate her.
** For a long time, Elan's typical attempt to distract enemies with illusions meant an illusory sexy female of the enemy's race. It has never worked quite as planned. The chimera explains that he's in a relationship. Thog rejects pretty girl for fear of [[GirlsHaveCooties cooties]]. A prison guard replies "Sorry, happily married" while the other says "[[SorryImGay Sorry, I'm gay]]".

* During a recent CounterStrike tournament in Russia, the promoter hired strippers in an attempt to distract the competing teams. Neither team batted an eye.

*** Unaffected my foot. He was flustered, just not flustered enough to do anything stupid.

* [[SorryImGay And homosexuals being hit on by the wrong gender.]]
** [[FridgeLogic Heterosexuals too]], for that matter.

* During the Cupid's Day episode in ''CodeGeass'', one of Milly's plans to stop Lelouch involves putting a bunch of scantily-clad girls in suggestive poses in his way. However, "Lelouch" is actually Sayoko in disguise, and she just jumps over them. For extra comedy points, Sayoko says "Those bodies have no affect on me!", causing the appropriate confused reaction from the girls, and Lelouch asking her to "please quit making me say such things".

* In Aldous Huxley's ''BraveNewWorld'', the Savage is totally uninterested in what Lenina is offering. (Well, he ''is'', but he doesn't want to ruin her "purity.")

* This Troper had to warn everyone he dated, "I'm a professor, so don't take it personally, but during Finals Week and Midterms, if you're not a paper I need to grade, you don't exist."
