* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''

* Yuuto in ''VisualNovel/EienNoAselia'' was popular at his school before ending up in Phantasmorgia, and after that he ends up winning the affections of essentially every named female in the cast.

* Helen,aka Elastigirl in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' is mentioned in her NSA profile to have been pursued by many top superheroes but would turn them down as she preferred her independence. However, she eventually fell madly in love with superhero Mr. Incredible and married him, having three kids with him after their forced retirement.

* [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]] with Esmeralda in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''. While all the men, including Quasimodo, are attracted to her, she also draws the [[VillainousCrush unwanted attention]] of the BigBad, Frollo.

* UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla has accounts of women vying for his affection despite being a [[ConfirmedBachelor lifelong bachelor]]. However he was [[MarriedToTheJob more into science rather than women]], and kept strictly celibate (for all historians can tell, he may have never even had sex in his whole life).
* When you meet Michael Theodore "Mickey" Mouse in Ride/WaltDisneyWorld; he attracts women to him like no one's business—as long as Minerva "Minnie" Mouse isn't around of course.
* Creator/PierceBrosnan attracts the ladies even when he doesn't intend to.
** [[http://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/jan/13/features.magazine In this interview]], a journalist asks Brosnan which gender approaches him the most among his fans, and his firm response is, "Oh women, definitely." Moreover, he and his first wife told ''TV Guide'' in an article that was published on June 9, 1984 that being a sex symbol can be very unpleasant at times because of the constant stream of unwanted attention.
--->'''Pierce Brosnan''': [Hollywood] is a pretty fast town and the women are terrible. Some actresses do this whole number, proposition me, right in front of my wife, and sometimes I am just so naïve that I don't get it until maybe 10 minutes later. I cannot believe the gall of these people.\\
'''Cassandra Harris''': These women are horrible. They try to use me to become friendly with Pierce. Or else, they just cut me dead, and only want to speak to him. Sometimes I feel like bursting into tears.
** Brosnan inadvertently turned his ''Film/MammaMia'' co-star Creator/MerylStreep into one of his avid fangirls because she impulsively ''ripped his shirt off'' while they were filming a scene even though it was ''not'' part of the script! Even a consummate professional like Streep couldn't keep her hands off of Pierce's CarpetOfVirility.
* Creator/BenedictCumberbatch. Check out this screaming audience at the ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyOLhCscvI8 PBS Q&A]] (warning: DO NOT listen to the first 20 seconds with earphones). For extra points, the man has absolutely no idea why he has this effect on women. He doesn't [[http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/news/benedict-cumberbatch-im-not-sexy-16165217.html find himself attractive]] at all!
* It has been claimed that poet/artist/songwriter/RenaissanceMan Creator/ShelSilverstein had to beat the ladies off with sticks. Not a perfect example, as he wasn't at all "innocent" about it.
* Music/FrankSinatra. ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' featuring of him frequently had the members of his audience fainting, sighing "Oh Frankie!" in ecstasy, going into seizures, or screaming. They always chased after him in huge crowds once he was done performing.
* Music/ElvisPresley in the 50s. [[http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-sex.html Some of the fangirls "have sex with him on their minds"]].
* Music/TheBeatles are known for their huge female fanbase, especially in the early 60s, which created the term "Beatlemania".
* Another example is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sterban Richard Sterban]], he even shows it off near the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a-KpGauwN0 this video]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vghIPtvCFRs his voice]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mo6UkNZcX0 helps too]].
* Creator/DougWalker. Even at his second ever con, he had women telling him they want to take him home and keep him. He's grown to use both this and EvenTheGuysWantHim to his advantage, but the amount of marriage proposals he gets seems to make him uncomfortable.
* Creator/CraigFerguson has become pretty notorious for being able to charm almost any high-profile actress he interviewed on his (former) show ''Series/TheLateLateShowWithCraigFerguson'', to the point that there are multiple "Craig Ferguson and the Ladies" compilations on Youtube of flirting between him and his guests.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Creator/MarilynMonroe, with a reputation as the most beautiful woman alive who had hordes of men grovelling at her feet. Most of it was part of her celebrity persona, but a lot of it was genuine.
%%* Creator/MeganFox and Creator/ScarlettJohansson get this to an extent as well.

** [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Naegi]] deserves special mention, since he applies the most. Excluding Free Time Events and bonus modes, [[IdolSinger Maizono]], [[MysteriousWaif Kirigiri]], and [[TheDragon Ikusaba]] are all known to have an interest in him. However, only Kirigiri survives long enough to allude to this in-story; the other two are only confirmed by supplemental material.

* While the protagonists of ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}'' are able to win over most of the girls in their classes, they don't exactly apply for this trope in the main story. Canonically, all three have at least one girl interested in them while the rest of the female cast have their own subplots unrelated to them. This trope only applies in the bonus modes, where they're free to pursue most of the girls (and guys) at their leisure, since there's no killing game or other love interests getting in the way.

* ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'' has Cap and Touma, who're both popular enough to have their own fan clubs. However, the series' main protagonist, Yamato, may very well be the king of this trope as he has literally ''dozens'' of potential love interests throughout the series.

* In ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaNoKajitsu'' had five love interests, his boss and the principal crushing on him plus his sister acting very suspicious in a flashback. In ''VisualNovel/TheLabyrinthOfGrisaia'' we learn he was warned by his sister who knew he'd be popular to be careful with girl's hearts and by the time ''VisualNovel/TheEdenOfGrisaia'' finally rolled around he has all those girls from before plus the pilot Millie, his boss' assistant, an evil terrorist, his dead master and a couple other minor characters, bringing the total to essentially every female character he ever met apart from his mom and one drill sergeant.

* ChickMagnet/{{Fanfiction}}

* ''{{Machinima/Anon}}'': Tucker and Kyle have all had most female characters thirsting after them. Unfortunately for them, they all seem to be the crazy ones.

This trope comes with an amount of WishFulfillment for both genders. Although the main title is "Chick Magnet" because MostWritersAreMale, plenty of [[GenderInverted Gender Inversion]] happens because MostFanficWritersAreFemale. This inversion is called "Dude Magnet".

* ''Film/{{Psycho}}'': Throughout the franchise, Norman has been able to charm and attract several women. As a teenager, one girl ''followed'' him into his house, and the other was a woman in her ''[[MrsRobinson thirties]]''. Of course, since he was a SerialKiller with MommyIssues it ended badly. [[spoiler: Except in Psycho IV when he finally overcomes his mental problems, and marries a nurse]].

* Islam's version of Joseph, Yusuf, turned out to be this. He was [[PrettyBoy so pretty and handsome]] according to [[Literature/TheQuran the Qu'ran]] that women were distracted to the point of ''peeling their own fingers instead of the fruits that they held, without any pain felt whatsover'', and this was complicated immensely by the fact that he was also a CelibateHero. How bad did things get, you may ask? His own adoptive mother had the hots for him, and when she accused him of false adulteries (twice) after Yusuf refused her, he correctly gave his adoptive father evidence that he did not do so. His adoptive father believed him, but he was jailed anyways, partly due to his low-status, partly to further protect his chastity. When he was the slave of Al-Aziz (Potiphar), not only did the guy's wife try to seduce him, and pull a FalseRapeAccusation on him when he turned her down, but when the other women of the city were invited by the wife to see him (because she wanted to show them that she was justified in being attracted to a slave), it resulted in all of ''them'' wanting the poor guy as well. When he turned them down as well, they got pissed, and eventually got him thrown in jail, though on what accusation, the Qu'ran doesn't really say.

* Islam's version of Joseph, Yusuf, turned out to be this, as his [[PrettyBoy beauty]] attracted not only his master Al-Aziz (Potiphar)'s wife who tried to seduce him and pulled a FalseRapeAccusation on him when he turned her down, but the other women of the city when they were invited by the wife to see him, resulting in all of ''them'' wanting the poor guy as well.

* Diarmid O'Dyna of Myth/CelticMythology (who was Lancer in the aforementioned ''Literature/FateZero'') had this as an actual magical ability -- any woman who looked at his face would instantly fall in love with him. One of these was a woman who caught sight of him at her own wedding party. Her husband-to-be [[MurderTheHypotenuse didn't take it very well]].

* The ''Jade Regent'' RPG Actual Play podcasts from Podcast/{{RPGMP3}} feature a weapon called [[NamedWeapons Oathtaker]]. During their travels, the adventurers [[RobbingTheDead stumbled across]] a magical ''tetsubo'' (a [[CarryABigStick a big two-handed Japanese studded club]]). Apart from its obvious uses, it can also force people under a [[MagicallyBindingContract Blood Geas]]. It's currently wielded by Harold Shinken, who discovered that the Viking women of the [[GrimUpNorth Linnorm Kingdoms]] were very impressed by the weapon's... [[PhallicWeapon craftsmanship]].
