* The show's sequel series, [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra The Legend Of Korra]] brings us Bolin. He's a big, bulky pro earth bender; but he is also a hopeless romantic who loves makeovers.
* Shifty Dingo from [[BlinkyBill The Adventures Of Blinky Bill]], the TokenGoodTeammate of the dingoes and a PreciousPuppy who skips with flowers and cries at the drop of a hat. He also qualifies as TheWoobie and the EnsembleDarkhorse of the show.

* Peter from ''Film/ILoveYouMan'' is this sort of person and as such as few male friends and is MistakenForGay a few times despite the fact that he isn't especially Camp, he just likes making deserts and watching ChickFlick movies.

* Shun from ''Anime/KimiToBoku'', who is mistaken for a girl more than once on looks alone, and basically acts more girlish than most of the actual girls on the show. He's kind, cute, enjoys baking and taking care of people. He once spread his femininity to Chizuru for a few minutes when the two were at his hows baking a cake. Natch as soon as Chizuru realized it he freaked out.

* In the ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' series, Firesong turns out to be able to utilize the power of Need - an EmpathicWeapon whose magic is specifically designed to be used by women - without difficulty. When other characters familiar with Need's power express their surprise, Need explains that Firesong is "balanced" between the masculine and feminine in a way that allows him full use of her power.

* [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Bertie Wooster]]. Highly emotional, mostly inactive, [[TheDandy loves to buy clothes]], avoids confrontation, and often seeks sympathy and support from others. If he's ever in a romantic relationship, he will invariably be bossed around by the girl.

* In ''{{Bedazzled}}'', the hero makes a wish to be the most sensitive man in the world. He ends up crying over ''everything'', pretty much.

* ''WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic'' is considered by others "pretty" rather than handsome, ScreamsLikeALittleGirl, is in the submissive role when giving out {{fanservice}}, has a {{fetish}} for overly tough women and owns testosterone pills.

* Shun from ''Manga/KimiToBoku'', who is mistaken for a girl more than once on looks alone, and basically acts more girlish than most of the actual girls on the show. He's kind, cute, enjoys baking and taking care of people. He once spread his femininity to Chizuru for a few minutes when the two were at his hows baking a cake. Natch as soon as Chizuru realized it he freaked out.

* JD from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' is very concerned with the welfare of others as well as not being especially 'manly', and often accused of being girly by his senior, Dr.Cox.
* ''ModernFamily'': Phil Dunphy is very needy and emotional, much to his father-in-law's annoyance. He also has several "feminine" hobbies (for instance, he was a cheerleader in college.) However, his is definitely heterosexual, as his children found out when they walked in on him and his wife having sex.

* [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Bertie Wooster]]. Highly emotional, [[TheDandy loves to buy clothes]], avoids confrontation, and often seeks sympathy and support from others. If he's ever in a romantic relationship, he will invariably be bossed around by the girl.

* [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Bertie Wooster]]. Highly emotional, [[TheDandy loves to buy clothes]], avoids confrontation, and often seeks sympathy and support from others.

* '''Typically feminine Interests''': The character has interests which are usually considered feminine, such as interests which rely on aesthetic abilities such as art, decorating, hair-styling or clothing and fashion, things which are typically "woman's work" such as cooking, and sowing, nurturing professions such as child-care, teaching and nursing, or things which are considered 'emotional' pursuits, such as poetry and certain types of music. Keep in mind that "acceptable interests" for genders have changed over time, and can be variable depending on the time period.

* Sokka in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Despite his sexist leanings toward the beginning, he's concerned with things like his belt matching his bag, and shopping always cheers him up (he even does the little fast clapping and yelling "Shopping!").

* '''An Open, Emotional Personality''': The stereotype is that men don't talk about their feelings, or don't talk much at all. The SensitiveMan does like talking, probably quite a bit, and may be very open or in touch with his emotions and therefore appreciate such things as a good ChickFlick and may prefer dramatic or romantic media over action-oriented media.

[[AC:AnimeAndManga]]
* The PrincelyYoungMan Tamaki Suoh from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. A caring emotional Keet who constantly talks about love and doesn't seem especially athletic, on top of having no interest in sports, and running a host club of bishounens while being one himself.
* Kimihiro Watanuki from ''XxxHoLiC'' who enjoys cooking and cleaning, and mooning over Himawari, as well as wearing glasses and having a delicate appearence, having no interest in physical activities, sometimes being an IllBoy, and constantly being a damsel for Doumeki to save.
* Also, ''nearly every single male'' in ''StarDriver'', staring with the '''''Galactic''' PrettyBoy''.
* Kurama from ''YuYuHakusho''.
* Shun from ''SaintSeiya''.
* Natsume Takashi from ''NatsumeYuujinchou'' is lean and short, very kind and soft spoken, as well as constantly being mistaken for his grandmother (when she was his age), who from flashbacks, was easily more manly in behavior than he is. You could easily replace him with a girl in the story and the characterization would be spot on. Being a male protagonist of a shoujo work may have something to do with it.

* Peter from ''ILoveYouMan'' is this sort of person and as such as few male friends and is MistakenForGay a few times despite the fact that he isn't especially Camp, he just likes making deserts and watching ChickFlick movies.
* In {{Bedazzled}}, the hero makes a wish to be the most sensitive man in the world. He ends up crying over ''everything'', pretty much.

[[AC:Literature]]
* You could definitely add the {{Deryni}} men to this one, though there are human men in the books that have aspects of this. Primarily it's in terms of the emotions, for Deryni are empathic and telepathic; they live their lives with the ability to pick up the emotions of others and the constant prospect of responding emotionally to them. Many major characters often [[ExpositionBeam communicate thoughts, feeling and memories directly]]. They almost have to be in touch with their feelings as a result. Not that any of this stops some of them from being [[{{Badass}} badasses]] of one form or another.

* ''MarriedWithChildren'': JerrySpringer AsHimself as the host of the show "The Masculine Feminist." (This was before ''TheJerrySpringerShow'' became what it is today.)
* JD from ''{{Scrubs}}'' is very concerned with the welfare of others as well as not being especially 'manly', and often accused of being girly by his senior, Dr.Cox.

* Captain Flowers from ''RedVsBlue'', the former (and now dead) CO of the blue team and Doc the medic ([[ActualPacifist for both teams]]). [[spoiler: Unless they're being possessed by O'Mally anyway.]] Donut might also count, but his effeminacy is much more exaggerated and PlayedForLaughs.

* Karkat in ''{{Homestuck}}'' plays with this trope - he has a temperamental, high-strung, ambitious and extremely defensive personality causing him to occasionally veer into {{Jerkass}} territory, but he is also one of the smallest trolls, with tiny little rounded horns the others tease him about; is significantly more emotionally wise than most of his peers (causing him to occasionally act as TeamMom), loves 'terrible RomanticComedy', and is a ShipperOnDeck fascinated by the concept of true love.
* ''TheNostalgiaCritic'' is considered by others "pretty" rather than handsome, ScreamsLikeALittleGirl, is in the submissive role when giving out {{fanservice}}, has a {{fetish}} for overly tough women and owns testosterone pills.

* Sokka in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Despite his sexist leanings toward the beginning, he's concerned with things like his belt matching his bag, and shopping always cheers him up (he even does the little fast clapping and yelling "Shopping!").

If this character is taken to the extreme then he often becomes a CampStraight, if straight, and CampGay, if otherwise. Compare RealMenWearPink, AgentPeacock and TheDandy.

* Takashi from NatsumeYuujinshou is lean and short, very kind and soft spoken, as well as constantly being mistaken for his grandmother (when she was his age). You could easily replace him with a girl in the story and it wouldn't make a lick of difference. Being a male hero of a shoujo work may have something to do with it.
