Single Woman Seeks Good Man in Visual Novels.
- Makoto Naegi of Danganronpa seems to attract the attention of numerous girls likely because he's just such a nice guy. It also helps that he listens and tries to empathize with everyone he can, no matter how much of a jerk they might be.
- Pretty much all the love interests in Daughter for Dessert, but Lily most of all. Given her passive personality, she most needs a man to take care of her.
- Invoked by Rachel in Double Homework. The protagonist's newfound introspection and willingness to return certain sexual favors (i.e. giving oral sex) mean that he is worthy of another chance in her book. She doesn’t see him as the same guy who callously broke up with her months before.
- The reason the heroines fall for Shirou in their routes in Fate/stay night
- While originally only loyal to Shirou in a platonic, master-servant type relationship (literally), as his selfless and caring deeds continue to win her over, Saber finds herself falling more and more in love with him, despite her mental barrier of thinking of herself as a lone King.
- While Rin finds Shirou's martyr complex annoying and later depressing, she admits she likes his ideals, kindness, and determination charming. The Heaven's Feel route reveals this attraction started when she saw him continually try something impossible and was able to achieve it when she would have given up by a certain point.
- Sakura fell for Shirou due to his refusal to give up and his kindness to her despite her being, in her mind, a bad girl. This attraction started in middle school when she saw him trying to high jump over a bar that was too high for him. She wanted to see him fail and give up, yet was shocked and charmed when he continued to try anyway even when he eventually gave up after trying his best.
- Galaxy Angel: Tact Mayers is shown to have many good qualities that appeal to each member of Angel Brigade, depending on the route chosen.
- Milfeulle falls for him because he's funny, goofy and nice, but most importantly he's very understanding of all the disasters Milfeulle's luck tends to cause.
- Ranpha falls for him because he's energetic, enthusiastic, passionate about his feelings, and is capable of being very romantic.
- Mint falls for him because he's intelligent, honest, ethical (unlike her father's corrupt business associates), tolerant of her eccentricities, and most importantly he's empathetic enough to understand her.
- Forte falls for him because he's willing to always improve himself (which, given Forte's high standards, is harder than it sounds).
- Vanilla falls for him because he's compassionate and he's an anchoring influence that makes her feel safe and loved.
- Finally, Chitose falls for him because he's good at making her feel relaxed and he's a source of stability in her life (and it doesn't hurt that he also reminds her of her late dad, whom she was very attached to).
- In the Galaxy Angel II trilogy, like Tact before him, Kazuya has his own qualities that attract the Rune Angel Wing with his own brand of meek sincerity and sensitive guy appeal.
- In Higurashi: When They Cry, Mion's attraction to Keiichi is because he's a good friend and fun to be around, as she explains to Shion in the Eye Opening chapter. Shion drops a hint to Keiichi about it in the Cotton Drifting chapter and outright tells him that Mion loves him in the Festival Music chapter.
- In Ikemen Sengoku, this happens if the main character chooses to pursue Hideyoshi, Mitsunari, or Sasuke, all of whom are extremely nice guys through and through, help her overcome her fear of living in such a dangerous era, and don't criticize her or view her as naive for her pacifist beliefs like many of the other warlords do. Hideyoshi initially treats her coldly because of suspicions that she may be a spy or assassin, but immediately becomes incredibly kind and doting toward her when he realizes his suspicions were false and goes to lengths to help her pursue her dream career; Mitsunari is a complete sweetheart who never has a bad word to say about anyone and promises her from day one that he'll always be there to protect her; and Sasuke is a fellow time-traveler who was separated from her for four years but still dedicated himself to finding her and making sure that she would be safe and able to return to the future with him even after she ends up working for his employer's enemies.
- Interestingly played with in Katawa Shoujo. Hisao Nakai is a Nice Guy, yeah, and the girls come to love him as he gets over his initial depression and then begins to reach for them... but that doesn't necessarily mean he's gonna win their affections off the bat. In example, if he falls into white knighting in Hanako's path, this will lead to the Bad End; similarly, trying to support and understand Rin in her own path might bring him a heavy emotional toll; and to get Emi to actually stop pushing him away, he will have to be very persistent.
- All of the Little Busters! heroines fall under this, and usually Weakness Turns Her On, too, in falling for sweet, dorky Riki. Even if, for the most part, they only consider him a friend in the common route, it is when he shows friendship towards them and helps them out with their problems that they start to fall in love with him.
- Pretty much every girl with whom the protagonist on Melody can eventually end up (the title character, Isabella, Becca, and Amy). However, their thought processes are very different: Melody wants someone who will stay with and take care of her after other important people in her life have abandoned, neglected, or mistreated her; Isabella wants to get back on her feet after a bad relationship; Becca wants a relationship that can restore her confidence after her last one fell apart out of the blue; and Amy wants a guy who will take care of her after her last boyfriend abused her.
- In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, this is why Juniper Woods is absolutely smitten with Apollo Justice, to the point of knitting heart-patterned clothing every time she talks or thinks about him. Apollo has consistently been nice to her and he even saved her life from rubble that was about to fall on her. When Juniper talks about Apollo, she usually mentions how kind and brave he is.
- In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, we've got Iris, who despite dating Phoenix only for the sake of getting a crucial piece of evidence that proved her twin sister's (Dahlia Hawthorne's) guilt, later actually fell in love with Phoenix, and thus never got the evidence back in time.
- In Shall We Date?: Ninja Shadow, almost all of Saori's potential boyfriends are not only very strong fighters and very handsome, but also very kind young men who support her all the way. Hell, in the very few times she doesn't follow the trope, she'll fall for the bad boys only when they show her their softer sides. When Tsubaki tries to use that dishonestly, Saori is very angry when she finds out, and Tsubaki has to be completely honest with her from then on to recover her favor.
- In the Tokimeki Memorial series, the kinder, the more affectionate, and the more attentive you are towards basically all the winnable girls of the series, the deeper they will fall in love with you. But this is especially true with the Broken Bird characters of the lot, Mira Kagami, Kaori Yae, and Hotaru Izumi, who have been burned by previous painful experiences with others (the first being on a Revenge of the Nerd crusade after continuous heartbreak and a harsh private life, the second having suffered of Et Tu, Brute? after Taking the Heat, and the third still suffering of The Mourning After). They will only fall for you if you're 'particularly'' kind and considerate towards them.
- The Player Character from True Love Junai Monogatari is a complete horndog and sometimes puts his feet in his mouth, but he also is a kind guy who listens to the girls' problems and tries to help them.
- In Zero Time Dilemma, this is the case between Akane and Junpei, strange as that initially seems. The conflict in their relationship comes from Junpei questioning whether she can see him as both a loyal, unquestioning pawn (which she does) and a romantic equal. Turns out she can; the Golden Path she's sought for centuries must include him alive. Every other timeline is useless, except for purposes of research...and taking violent, cathartic revenge on whoever killed him.
