* The ''WebOriginal/SCPFoundation'': [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3512 SCP-3512]] features a pick-up artist's guide written by such an individual, which takes a sharp turn for the arcane and the unhinged from the twelfth chapter onward. Following its instructions does [[BodyHorror strange things]] to you, and [[AndIMustScream worse]] to the women you try its teachings out on.

* This trope was initially named for Tyler Durden in ''Literature/FightClub'' who teaches the nameless protagonist to stop being so emasculated and to go FightClubbing as well as [[WesternTerrorists some other... matters]].

* This builds up the plot of ''Macho Man'' (German title) by ''Moritz Netenjakob''. Daniel, the protagonist has no sucess with women because he is "too soft" to be taken seriously as a potential boyfriend.

They start dating an he gets in contact with different gender roles and a more "dominant" masculinity of turkic culture. He adapts to it because of the influence of other turkic men. [[spoiler:This leads to his breakup with Aylin since she was originally attracted to his softness and non macho like behaviour. But he excuses by singing the smurf song to her and thus regaining his soft guy image. ]]

* Kensei Ma and Sakaki Shio of ''KenichiTheMightiestDisciple''. Their training methods often involve [[DirtyOldMan perversion]] and getting drunk, respectively.

The Sensei For Scoundrels might be the answer to your prayers. He is everything you wish you could be as a man: strong, attractive, fearless and a huge success with women. Of course, he's also probably [[CrazySurvivalist deeply]] [[NietzscheWannabe disturbed]], and possibly [[EvilMentor very evil.]] You'll probably find him at the ThugDojo.

* Jack Rakan of ''MahouSenseiNegima''.

Of course, Negi specifically begins training with him because [[InvokedTrope he wants to learn how]] [[IdiotHero to be more of an idiot.]]
