History PlayingWith / NoGuyWantsAnAmazon

* '''Gender Inverted''':

** Alice is a GenderFlipped MilesGloriosus. In other words, she lied about being a good fighter to impress people or because [[SmallNameBigEgo she has an undeserved big ego]].

** Bob [[UnfortunateImplications guessed]] the reason why Alice needs all this strength because Alice is a JerkAss who likes to [[TheBully push men around]] to prove that [[StrawFeminist women are better than men]] and [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale gets away]] [[KarmaHoudini with it]], thus quickly concludes that [[DisproportionateRetribution all Amazons don't deserve love]].

** Bob doesn't want to wind up with a girl who uses her strength to [[BastardGirlfriend treat men like her personal toys]].

** Alice is viewed this way just because she plays a (non-combat) sport.

** While it starts out as the standard "guy ignores girl who can fight" situation that's sometimes PlayedForLaughs, the story focuses on Bob for a while. When Bob sees Alice in a particularly messy fight, [[WhamEpisode it triggers a horrific flashback]]: [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Bob lies in a bloody heap on the ground]] as authorities restrain a violently angry woman. It's revealed that she was Bob's abusive ex-girlfriend Susan, who was sent to prison for nearly killing him after an argument escalated into a physical fight. Bob's attitude and previous actions towards Alice are seen in an [[FunnyAneurysmMoment increasingly depressing light]] as time goes on.

** Alternatively, Alice is a white-belt in kung fu. Bob avoids and/or out-right rejects her because of the fact that she even knows kung fu in the first place.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob's attraction to Alice waxes and wanes according to the day of the week - one day he's turned on by her ability to fight, the next he's attracted to her physically but thinks she should act more feminine, then he likes her personality but is turned off by the muscles.....Ad infinitum.

** Bob values high parental investment and doesn't think a relationship (more specifically, marriage) with Alice would work out, because her ActionGirl lifestyle doesn't go hand-in-hand with it.

** Bob [[WrongGenreSavvy guessed]] the reason why Alice needs all this strength because Alice is a JerkAss who likes to [[TheBully push men around]] to prove that [[StrawFeminist women are better than men]] and [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale gets away]] [[KarmaHoudini with it]], thus quickly concludes that [[DisproportionateRetribution all Amazons doesn't deserve love]].
