* Exaggerated and played for laughs in the ''Manga/DeathNote'' fanfic "Everyone Wants L", where [[LooksLikeCesare L]] seems to get jumped by another character every few minutes, despite the narration consistently describing him in unflattering terms, such as comparing his CharacterizingSittingPose to a frog's or talking about his pale, [[BabyDontGotBack bony ass]].

** Quark in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' is a short, badly-dressed, sexist pig with humongous ears and scary-looking teeth, but he is usually seen with hot women over the course of the series. He's also an alien Ferengi, however, born into a culture where women are second-class citizens with no rights, so in that sense, he's not unusual. Working around humans and other alien races in which equality of the sexes is a given, however, does make him unusual. Most of the women he is seen with are attracted to his [[GoldDigger wealth]] and [[PowerIsSexy status]] (and/or are on his payroll), but a few are genuinely attracted to him. Probably his most impressive feat was landing a ''Klingon'' mistress, Grilka. In a society that lauds physical strength and detests the cowardly Ferengi on principle, this is totally unheard of (although what attracted her is his courage and straight-up audacity, which are values in both cultures).

** Vinsmoke Judge unlike his four sons is not handsome at all. He's brutish, big chinned and hulking and even the cover story that shows him during his youth reveals he wasn't a PrinceCharming being a sketchy looking creep (in anything he looks more like the imposter version of his Sanji Drip from the Fake Strawhats) nonetheless he still married the extremely beautiful Sora who bore his five children.

** Gendo Ikari is a dour, frowning, and cruel man on his best days. He managed to marry Yui in the past, and [[spoiler: seduced both Naoko Akagi and her daughter Ritsuko]].

** Señor Pink is a middle-aged unkempt fat man dressed like a baby (and has grown fatter with time). For some reason, he is surrounded by beautiful women who are constantly yearning to throw themselves at him, whom he feels ambivalent towards. Like everything else in ''One Piece'', this has an explanation: [[spoiler: The reason he rejects the women is that he still considers himself to be HappilyMarried to his wife who is in a vegetative state. Back when he was younger (and quite a handsome man too), they got married without her being aware he was a pirate, (he told her he was a banker) and after the death of their child and the accident that put her in said state, the only thing that got her to smile was when he dressed up in their dead son's baby clothes]].

** He claims to have been married at least ten times previously in ''Deadpool'' #27 The Wedding of Deadpool, although not all of these stories may be accurate since he is an UnreliableNarrator. The past wives listed include Ms. Marvel [[spoiler: turned out she was being controlled by an alien at the time]], a sock puppet of Copycat he hallucinated was really her after he thought she died [[spoiler: destroyed, although the real Copycat was still alive]], a stripper calling herself Genosha [[spoiler: killed during the wedding as a consequence of Deadpool messing with continuity]], a woman whose name he forgot that he assassinated by pretending to be her groom [[spoiler: she actually hired him to make her suicide look like a murder]], a woman named Penny [[spoiler: she didn't exist, she was part of a trap set by a villain]], a woman named Anna [[spoiler: he had actually killed the real Anna and married Copycat pretending to be her and it turned out the people who married them were replaced with actors so it didn't count]], a DumbBlonde named Lurleen [[spoiler: divorced when it turned out she was actually Mystique]], Outlaw [[spoiler: her super strength made sex extremely painful, so probably divorced]], Domino [[spoiler: only pretending to be a couple for a mission but Deadpool took it like it was real, and she "divorced" him by shooting through him to get the bad guy]], AIM assassin Betty Swanson [[spoiler: didn't count, she was unconscious and the guy doing the wedding was a savage land native shaman that he coerced]], and a large alien woman named Orksa [[spoiler: although it didn't show it in this comic, he later divorced her so she could be with somebody who loved her more than he did]], and of course, the main story of the issue is him getting married to Shiklah the Succubus [[spoiler: but they have since separated, with Shiklah marrying Dracula like originally intended after their marriage falls apart due to Wade's negligence. Deadpool mentions in issue 31 of volume 4, that he thinks they're still technically married, but isn't sure how it works with her -being a Succubus]] There are also all the women he had sex with but didn't marry, [[spoiler: one of which had his daughter]].

-->'''Eddie Valiant''': ''She's'' married to Roger Rabbit?!\\
'''WesternAnimation/BettyBoop''': Yeah, what a lucky girl.

-->'''Alexandra''': I think -- no, I am positive -- that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life. You know, in the short time we've been together, you have demonstrated ''every'' loathsome characteristic of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you're morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking you smell]]. [[InsultToRocks You're not even interesting enough to make me sick]].

* Gary Karkofsky in ''Literature/TheSupervillainySaga'' is a somewhat dorky pseudo-intellectual who worked as a bank teller. He's also revealed to have been in relationships with three staggeringly beautiful superheroes and supervillains. It's {{Justified}} in text when he reveals his "secret." [[spoiler: He treats his girlfriends with respect, works to make sure they have fun on their dates, and tries to make sex enjoyable for them]].

** Kenneth is odd-looking, acts weird, has no ambition in life besides working a menial entry-level job at NBC and is effectively asexual. However, when the TGS writer's room play "Sex, Marry, Kill", he's the one that [[MsFanservice Cerie]] chooses to sleep with (although the competition wasn't fierce). He's also shown to be irresistible to gay men.

** In the second season he ended up getting engaged to a much younger woman after only one date. [[spoiler: Though she turned out to be an agent of corporation trying to pull off a hostile takeover of the company Pierce runs]].

* ''Series/FatherTed'' has the ''Film/{{Speed}}'' parody's villain Pat Mustard, as well as combining this with CheatingWithTheMilkman. He's revealed to be sleeping with a significant number of women on his job route, [[DeconstructedTrope and since he's spending more time screwing instead of his job (plus Craggy Island's primary Catholic ties)) this costs him his job when his bosses found out]].

* Rumpelstiltskin in ''Series/OnceUponATime''. As the Dark One he's literally monstrous in appearance, and even in human form he's not particularly good looking, especially in [[HollywodHomely comparison]] to the people around him. Yet he has had a string of romantic encounters with very attractive women, including as the Dark One, although in most cases those were [[EvilSorcerer Evil Sorceresses]] attracted to his power. Even his pre- Dark One wife Mila was very pretty.

-->'''Becker''': [[ThisExplainsSoMuch That's it]]! That's why you two are together -- he lets you step out.\\
'''[[Creator/JenniferLopez Jacqueline]]''': Me? [[BaitAndSwitch No, never]]. But he's got needs that I can't always meet, you know? You can't keep a stallion in the stable.

* Argentine party classic ''¿Qué tendrá el petiso?'' ("What does the short guy have?") by Ricky Maravilla has the ([[InformedAttractiveness supposedly handsome]]) singer wondering what's with the bald, toothless, ugly short guy that gets all women. It turns out, [[spoiler: he has a lot of money]].

* ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'' has one in [[spoiler:Sheriff George Woodman]]. He's not particularly attractive [[spoiler:including a big scar on his cheek and several on his back]], is not an adonis in terms of bodybuild, though he does work out, and is more stout and he's a pretty pompous, self-important man. Yet somehow [[spoiler:he gained a lot of people for his cult and]] has several sexual relationships going on. Including [[spoiler: two highschool students, one who is dating the more attractive looking Quinn]]. Though two of those relationships are because the people are deeply in love with him. Still leaves questions.

* ''Webcomic/MrBoop'': Despite Comic Alec being drawn extremely exaggeratedly, he has managed to marry WesternAnimation/BettyBoop, [[Anime/PorcoRosso Madame Gina]] and [[spoiler: [[{{Franchise/Metroid}} Samus Aran]]]]. Lampshaded in Alec's [[spoiler: [[AdventuresInComaLand coma dream]] when his housemates (WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]]) point out that a guy like him could never be married to Betty Boop]].

* Winifred Sanderson in ''Film/HocusPocus'' is subtly implied to be a rare straightforward female example- despite being a buck-toothed, browless, UncannyValleyMakeup-sporting WickedWitch (thanks to Creator/BetteMidler undergoing significant BeautyInversion to play the role), with hair seemingly modeled on Elizabeth I's wildest wigs, most of the adult men in the film treat her as though she's just as attractive as her sisters Mary (a BigBeautifulWoman, albeit with a nervously contorted mouth most of the time) and Sarah (a BrainlessBeauty HotWitch). The only one who doesn't is her ex, whom she murdered for cheating with Sarah. The teen boys of the movie, however, find her notably haggish and aren't afraid to say so, with frequently [[VainSorceress dire results]].

* ''Literature/BridgeOfBirds'': Lotus Cloud, the so-called "most expensive woman in China" looks like exactly what she started out in life as -- a broad-footed, flat-faced peasant, so plain as to make a mud fence look attractive. The hero/narrator looks at her and finds himself wondering why anyone wastes any time on her WhenSheSmiles directly at ''him''- he immediately throws himself to his knees at her feet and wraps his arms around her thighs, declaring his unending love and devotion to her. She nicknames him Boopsie.

** Barney was [[WhatMightHaveBeen originally envisioned]] as one, being described as Creator/JohnBelushi type, but Neil Patrick Harris got the part.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', another aforementioned character customization/ romantic sidequests game. Despite the fact that the "romance" in this game has so little substance, intricacy, or overall game consequence that the comprehensive guide only gives the marriage section two or three pages, the company that developed the game is (in)famous for favoring smoothness and balance of mechanics over logic and realism so much that the end results tend to have outrageous and often comic implications(the previous game allowed anyone with an alchemy table to craft a magic potion of fire resistance from two ordinary hunks of cheese). First, none of the potential partners were designed with specifically romance in mind; they seem to have been selected at random across the board from the already-existing characters, from contract-giving guild leaders to minor characters otherwise barley above background-level. Some are old, some young. Their personalities vary wildly. All the races turn up on this list. The entire roster is always available to you, regardless of your character's age, sex, or even of which race you picked, ''two of which are anthropomorphic animals''.

* MadScientist Hojo in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. Despite being middle-aged and creepy, he is shown to be surrounded by adoring, bikini-clad young women when on his vacation. The backstory also reveals Lucrecia picked him over Vincent. The original game hints that he was [[IWasQuiteALooker a looker]] but in ''VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus'' he still looked middle-aged and creepy even in his youth and didn't even attempt to hide his repulsive personality.

* WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd, of all people, in the one-shot ''[[ComicBook/DCMeetsLooneyTunes Batman/Elmer Fudd #1]]'', in which he has beautiful {{socialite}} Silver St. Cloud, Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriend, fall head over heels for him.

* WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd, of all people, in the one-shot ''Batman/Elmer Fudd #1'', in which he has beautiful {{socialite}} Silver St. Cloud, Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriend, fall head over heels for him.

* ''Series/TheLoomingTower'': John O'Neill is a middle-aged, pretty unattractive man. He has not just one but ''two'' girlfriends (they don't know about each other), both younger and attractive. O'Neill doesn't really even seem extremely charming, yet they both want a committed relationship with him.

* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' despite being a green (and occasionally grey) behemoth in his Hulk form has had gotten laid by super babes an astonishing amount of times such as Jarella, Red She-Hulk (his wife Betty), Marlo Chandler, Caiera and Umar Dormammu‘s sister. Not to mention other hotties and dark action girls such as Amander von Doom and Atalanta expressed attraction to him with former all too keen to go green. Granted DependingOnTheArtist Hulk can look fairly handsome and his Smart Hulk persona is notably more good looking, but most of the time he’s a straight up ogre-esque monster with a broad flat face making his highly accomplished sex life strange to say the least.

** Actually OlderThanTheyThink as ''Love Never Dies'' is similar to Literature/{{Phantom}} by Susan Kay which features Christine having a night of passion with Erik that gets her pregnant and the fact [[NauseaFuel he looks and smells like a walking corpse]] somehow not impacting Christine here as it most certainly did in the original novel.

* Whitney Frost aka [[Characters/IronManCentralRoguesGallery Madame Masque]], recurring ''ComicBook/IronMan'' villainess thanks to an accident has horrific FacialHorror that we only see glimpses of behind her signature gold mask but from we see she gives Freddy Kruger a run for his money, yet Tony was still willingly to shower her disfigured face with kisses and apparently sleep with her multiple times (she doesn’t take their breakup well) and Jasper Sitwell is also still attracted to her after she’s scarred. Worth noting that while her face got damaged Whitney still has a dynamite body to extent that Kate Bishop was [[MostCommonSuperpower forced to pad her bra]] when posing as her.

* Mileena from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' is the Kavorka woman of franchise, as when it comes to her face she is famously quite hideous due to her mouth which depending on the game/timeline is either [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR_MACM0MXBXgdT2FFeYtE8i2ob8_2Uoxc6_A&usqp=CAU a little unpleasant]] or [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTF7cHLIOP3SDYaWjkKys50WgymcCvfnzy3Mw&usqp=CAU absolutely nasty]] and she gets frequent cruel remarks at her expense from other characters regarding her appearance. Despite this, Mileena [[ReallyGetsAround has had more sex than everyone else in the franchise]] having boned Baraka, Tanya, Reiko and Goro and given birth to least one daughter in her ''[=MK11=]'' ending. Of course, there’s no getting past the fact whatever her face may look like Mileena is still built like a goddess from the neck down, so her conga line of partners isn’t so shocking.

* An episode of ''Series/TheShield'' features an overweight, homely, trashy young woman who nevertheless has two men fighting over her. It's possible it was a RaceFetish thing, as she was white while they were [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt black]], and she would also financially support whichever one she was currently sleeping with. She enjoyed playing them off against each other and would alternate between them every couple of months, but the one she dumped would still desperately pursue her. [[spoiler:This ends up backfiring on her, as she and one of the men are found murdered by the other man./spoiler]]

* Vic Mackey from ''Series/TheShield'': An amoral, malevolent ball of stocky menace, who nonetheless manages to score with a string of women. Taken to an extreme in Season 5 when he seduces the hot wife of Detective Kavanaugh played by Forrest Whitaker, implying him to also be a Kavorka Man. So essentially Vic Mackey out-Kavorkas another Kavorka man. Impressive.
