* ''Theatre/RideTheCyclone'': In "Space Age Bachelor Man", Ricky title-drops the trope as his response to the Zolarian cat people expecting him to fight the dog people. As he points out, he's their ChosenOne to repopulate their species, he's not warrior material. As a result, he convinces both dog and cat people to stop fighting for ThePowerOfLove--or, as he calls it, the pleasures of making love at zero gravity.

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* Marena, the resident Lunar Exalted in ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'', seems to be this for the the entirety of the first chapter and much of the second, an assumption made in large part due to her apptitude for Manipulation, shapeshifting and [[AnythingThatMoves promiscuity]] being juxtaposed with several instances of her outright stating that she is useless in a fight. [[spoiler: It should be noted, however, that Marena also happens to be a [[BlatantLies bloody liar]], and as such failed to mention her Deadly Beastman Form(tm) until it was dramatically appropriate, so this is a bit of a subversion.]]

* Tucker of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' declares himself to be this often. Amusingly enough, the reverse is probably true--he's actually one of the best non-Freelancer fighters in the series, and his skill with women is largely an InformedAbility... with the information coming only from him.

Amusingly enough, the reverse is probably true--he's actually one of the best non-Freelancer fighters in the series, and his skill ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Sure, he can't bend elements with women is largely an InformedAbility... his mind, but he gets at least a ShipTease with nearly every female character, and he eventually ends up becoming a BadassNormal.

Lovesick Gorilla that the perfume the bears are concocting for him will make him a lady killer, Arnie replies "I'm not a killer. I'm a lover."

* In ''ComicBook/StarWarsLando'', Lando Calrissian of course has this reputation, constantly saying this and that he DoesntLikeGuns. As it turns out, he's a crack shot and a fast draw. It's just that everyone who's ever driven him to actually ''using'' those skills soon ended up dead, so word never got around.

* Downplayed, if not subverted, with the protagonist of ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}''. He doesn’t look to start fights with people, but he can indeed get in guys’ faces if they give Melody too much unwanted attention.

Thus, the NonActionGuy or male [[TheChick chick]] of a group will very often have the most luck with the opposite sex, and it may be their most obvious quality. This may be to make them seem manlier in lieu of their companions' capacity for violence, to take advantage of the fact that viewers will identify more with more normal characters, or merely to give the audience a good reason to root for them.
