** Alan manages to get together with many women such as Judith, Frankie, BrainlessBeauty Kandi, Melissa, and Lyndsey. This is despite him being effeminate, spineless, a BitchInSheepsClothing, a CosmicPlaything, broke, and not really all that attractive. Alan is arguably a {{deconstruction}}, since the women he attracts tend to not be very desirable (i.e. older women, {{gold digger}}s, women who are emotionally/psychologically damaged, or just all around bitches). Lampshaded in one episode where he met an older woman on a dating site. Her words: "You're male, you're straight, and you've got a job."

* WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman is an overweight 50-something anthropomorphic horse who happens to be a washed-up sitcom actor and personality-wise is very cynical, irritable and unpleasant and yet one of the [[RunningGag running gags]] of the show is that he has a very active sex life. It's also made crystal clear that most of his partners were just looking for some consequence-free sex with a convenient warm body that they never have to talk to again, which he is famous for in-universe.

** Brian has dated a fair number of human women considering he's a dog, both literally and figuratively.

** Quagmire is an extreme example at times. Other times it's just that he drugs them.

** Dale Gribble is skinny-fat, pasty, balding, a chain-smoking drunk and a barely-sane ConspiracyTheorist who betrays everyone constantly. Yet he somehow married the beautiful blonde Nancy (who, to be fair, has been cheating on him for years with the handsome John Redcorn, [[ChocolateBaby who is obviously the biological father of Joseph Gribble]], though she eventually broke things off with Redcorn after a romantic dinner rekindled her feelings for Dale) and also managed to attract a beautiful female exterminator (voiced by Creator/JaneaneGarofalo) and some groupies in the episode where he and Bill compete in hot dog-eating contests.

** Hank Hill himself could qualify as this. While not ugly, he's rather average-looking with a beer gut, has a foul temper, has difficulty showing emotion to anyone other than his dog or inanimate objects (such as his truck), is hopelessly devoted to his mundane job of selling propane and propane accessories and has some outdated views on life. Yet he's not only married to Peggy, but has had a number of other women express attraction to him, including Buck Strickland's wife "Miz Liz" and mistress Debbie, and a few minor female characters (one of them being a FairCop). Of course, being a HappilyMarried man, he does not reciprocate the affections of the other women.

* Rick Sanchez from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' is an elderly, nihilistic, amoral alcoholic MadScientist but has been seen to score with quite a few women ([[ExtremeOmnisexual and men and a giraffe]]). He mentions how in an alternative dimension where they halted the aging process, lots of attractive women wanted to have sex with him because they were fascinated to finally meet an old person. He also had a past relationship with a hivemind called Unity. He was also once married to the mother of his daughter, though the marriage failed [[spoiler:at least in some dimensions. For Rick C-137, the "protagonist" Rick the show primarily follows, his wife was killed by another Rick along with his adolescent daughter, preventing the birth of his grandchildren]].

** Homer is stupid, obnoxious, lazy, doesn't know how to raise children, and endangered everybody's lives multiple times. Yet Marge still finds him attractive and other women apparently too. (Although, by his own admission, he was rejected by most women before he met Marge, so much that he tries to give Lisa advice on how to tell a boy you aren't interested.) Specifically, the women who have shown him interest were: Marge, a beautiful country singer whose career ''was'' kicked off by Homer, a nuclear plant employee who shared Homer's sedentary interests but still had a beautiful figure, Edna Krabappel, Lindsay Naegle and Cookie Kwan. When he was an opera singer, he gained tons of female fans, including one who became his manager just to stalk him. Homer has had tons of these throughout his adult life. That said, he has a very developed music ability, can be surprisingly clever when he bothers to turn on his brain and his loyalty to his family is unbreakable and unswerving, in spite of his innumerable acts of neglect and abuse.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Helga Pataki has had at least four boys fall for her over the course of the series (Brainy, Stinky, Arnold's creepy cousin Arnie, and eventually Arnold himself). This is despite the fact that she's scrawny, physically unattractive (BigOlUnibrow, potato nose, billy goat-like ears, large overbite, and questionable fashion choices) and a bully. While Helga does have a HiddenHeartOfGold, only Brainy knows this from the start and Stinky and Arnie never find this out. Arnold doesn't think much of Helga at first due to her always [[LovingBully bullying him to cover up her massive crush on him]], but over the course of the series, he gets to know the real Helga and by ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie'' they officially get together.

*** First, while he's not the most flattering describer of his own appearance, he's also [[UnreliableNarrator intensely self-critical]] with hot and cold running self-esteem issues - other characters' narration indicates that he's actually at least okay looking.

*** Third, he doesn't actually get laid very often at all due to realistic complications - most people find him shabbily dressed, an intimidating figure, and off-putting/possibly autistic thanks to his refusal to meet anyone's gaze (in this case, because it risks a Soulgaze) and perpetual sarcasm. He's also quite shy and very leery of romance considering how it tends to go horribly wrong. Plus on the mundane side, people think he's a conman or a hitter for the mob, while on the magical side, they think he's two steps away from becoming Darth Dresden.
** Binder's implied to be relatively successful with women, despite being a middle-aged looking uneducated and uncultured bloke with the demeanour of an ageing LondonGangster. While he's got a certain cockney charm, it's implied that he mostly relies on the money he gets as a successful supernatural mercenary.
** More generally, Dresden explains that this happens a bit more often among human practitioners of magic because anyone who's on the upper end of hot could depressingly easily be a monster in disguise, getting you to drop your guard. There's consequently a high "twitch factor."

* Viktor Krum from the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series. He's rather ugly, and pretty awkward socially. However, he is a great Quidditch player, and thus has lots of fangirls due to this. He even manages to successfully ask out Hermione, who had said earlier in the book that he wasn't good looking.

* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'': Deadpool is gruesomely disfigured (which is why he rarely removes his mask), insane, and immature. Yet all of his love interests are extremely hot women.

** Doctor Rusty Venture is a skinny, bald, hunched, pale JerkAss with enough neuroses to fill a few books - has managed to get a surprising amount of tail. Ironically, he has very little romantic luck when he's ''[[CasanovaWannabe trying]]''; whenever he decides to hold off on the terrible pickup lines and cheap suits and opens up a little about his problems, he can be quite the charmer. To wit, Doctor Quym, Sally Impossible, Myra, Nikki Fictel, and Doctor Mrs. The Monarch have all shown varying (and sometimes [[StalkerWithACrush impressive]]) degrees of interest.

* Dr. Venture of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' - a skinny, bald, hunched, pale JerkAss with enough neuroses to fill a few books - has managed to get a surprising amount of tail. Ironically, he has very little romantic luck when he's ''[[CasanovaWannabe trying]]''; whenever he decides to hold off on the terrible pickup lines and cheap suits and opens up a little about his problems, he can be quite the charmer. To whit, Doctor Quym, Sally Impossible, Myra, Nikki Fictel, and Doctor Mrs. The Monarch have all shown varying (and sometimes [[StalkerWithACrush impressive]]) degrees of interest.

* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'''s enemy the Penguin has been known to date some supermodel-quality women, despite being short, fat, [[DependingOnTheArtist usually]] bald, and ugly; a lot of that has to do with him being rich and influential, however.

* One time, [[ComicBook/IronMan'' Tony Stark]] attended a party with ''ComicBook/{{Dazzler}}'' as his date. Everybody is shocked, not only because they think Dazzler is way out of his league, but because Tony is disheveled, sleep-deprived, and has forgotten to take a shower - not exactly his usual dapper, charming self. Sebastian Shaw calls him a kavorka man, assuming that Dazzler was taken in by his wallet.
* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is gruesomely disfigured (which is why he rarely removes his mask), insane, and immature. Yet all of his love interests are extremely hot women.
** 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]].

* ''ComicBook/NormanOsborn'' gets laid a lot more than you'd expect, considering he's in his forties with a 20-something son and weird hair. But he got down with such megababes as Gwen Stacy and Lily Hollister as well as had the gorgeous Lyra make out with him while overvaluating. The former two of whom were young enough to date his son [[labelnote:*]] Both of whom ''[[LoveFatherLoveSon did]]'' [[LoveFatherLoveSon date his son]]. Lily was actually still with Harry when she and Norman slept together [[/labelnote]]. Though Gwen sleeping with Norman got mercifully [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'', to the point of it being lampshaded in-story that Gwen would have never in her right mind had sex with a craggily evil businessman like him.

* The ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' character Terry Long, one-time spouse of Donna Troy, is a bit infamous for this. He's a hairy-chested guy with a fro and a beard who looks about twenty years older than her, with a tendency towards cheap suits and come-ons pulled from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', but... well, he married Donna Troy, a superheroine who basically looks like, [[ContinuitySnarl and sometimes is]], a younger Wonder Woman - and her friends considered him to be quite a catch for her! The intended message was that he was such a charmer and she was a NiceGirl enough to notice him; more often, readers [[InformedAbility found him oddly slimy]] and noted [[AuthorAvatar his uncanny resemblance to his creator]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' has had a large number of highly attractive love interests (particularly if they're [[HeroesWantRedHeads redheads]] or Japanese), in addition to having a fairly large female fanbase. This is even though he's a short, hairy lantern-jawed guy with weird hair and a perpetual scowl. Unfortunately, poor Wolvie can never settle down and snuggle because [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies his enemies will harm and/or kill them]]--or he'll just [[MayflyDecemberRomance outlive them]] due to his extreme HealingFactor causing him to age at a much, ''much'' slower rate than pretty much everyone else. Not only that, but Wolverine also has rather [[ThePigpen poor hygiene]] (it's mentioned that he rarely bathes or brushes his teeth). The live-action movies seem to write this out (can't pass up the chance to do a Creator/HughJackman shower scene).

Possibly owing to MostWritersAreMale, Kavorka Woman is extremely rare. Men are societally judged to value a women's appearance more than women do men's, so the idea of a genuinely unattractive woman attracting handsome men is considered 'unrealistic'. The closest common example is a BigBeautifulWoman who often has numerous conventionally-attractive men vying for her attention (an archetype with historical precedent in UsefulNotes/CatherineTheGreat).

* Wrestling/LA Knight, being a well muscled, fast talking showman, fancies himself as this. Even referring to women being flustered or otherwise bothered in his presence as sensing his “Undeniable Kavorka”. Downplayed though, as it’s more often than not just him boasting.

* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Frank is overweight, sees women as mere objects, has terrible hair, and wears those weird hats. He also has "a lot of irons in the fire." It helps that his preferences run towards fat, past middle-aged women.
*** 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Meg is sometimes a strange example. Although guys are normally disgusted by her, she [[HollywoodDateless sometimes]] gets dates like it's nothing.

---> [[CatchPhrase I'm a heartbreaker. My name... Charles]].

* Curtis, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria 2}}'', has a girlfriend, another female coworker and a gay/bisexual male friend all attracted to him (and according to the actor who plays, even the JerkAss male coworker who keeps insulting and sabotaging his work does so to hide his attraction to Curtis), even though it's difficult to imagine anyone more generic in terms of looks and personality. [[spoiler: It turns out he's an ArtificialHuman built from {{Magitek}} by StarfishAliens, so it might not be a natural effect]].

* The eponymous Dan of ''WesternAnimation/DanVs''. He's a short, unkempt, paranoid, violent, foul-mouthed malcontent who lives in filth, enjoys "wanton destruction," and is obsessed with taking revenge on any person, thing, or force of nature who he believes has wronged him, often not caring about anything or anyone besides himself (save for [[MoralityPet his cat Mr. Mumbles]] and his friends Chris and Elise, and even this can be spotty.) Despite all of this, more than once, some very attractive women take an interest in him. It never works out for one reason or another, but still.

* The eponymous Dan of ''WesternAnimation/DanVs''. He's a short, ill-kempt, paranoid, violent, foul-mouthed malcontent who lives in filth, enjoys "wanton destruction," and is obsessed with taking revenge on any person, thing, or force of nature who he believes has wronged him, often not caring about anything or anyone besides himself (save for [[MoralityPet his cat Mr. Mumbles]] and his friends Chris and Elise, and even this can be spotty.) Despite all of this, more than once, some very attractive women take an interest in him. It never works out for one reason or another, but still.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', 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.]]

* 'Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazume''s protagonist is as repulsive as it can be, and yet every girl adores him.
* Takuma in ''Manga/ValXLove'' is a precociously large young man whose ugliness and size actively frightens people to the point where classmates are prone to accidentally falling through windows trying to get away from him; he has the InSeriesNickname "Akuma" ("Demon") as a result. He's actually a GentleGiant with severe social anxiety whose capacity for bravery is quite a turn-on to his BattleHarem of {{valkyries}}.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} has had a large number of highly attractive love interests (particularly if they're [[HeroesWantRedHeads redheads]] or Japanese), in addition to having a fairly large female fanbase. This is even though he's a short, hairy lantern-jawed guy with weird hair and a perpetual scowl. Unfortunately, poor Wolvie can never settle down and snuggle because [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies his enemies will harm and/or kill them]]--or he'll just [[MayflyDecemberRomance outlive them]] due to his extreme HealingFactor causing him to age at a much, ''much'' slower rate than pretty everyone else.

The live-action movies seem to write this out (can't pass up the chance to do a Creator/HughJackman shower scene).
** It's also that Wolverine's gruff appearance and brute demeanor [[SmarterThanYouLook belie the fact]] that he's actually quite brilliant. He's fluent in eight languages and conversational in a dozen more. His world travels, military/espionage training, and great age have allowed him to acquire immense knowledge and skills as well. He doesn't need pheromones to attract women. He does it by being possibly the greatest example of a modern {{renaissance man}}. Most of the time, though, it's just [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys his bad-boy persona that attracts people]], especially given that he was introduced at a time when antiheroes were relatively rare in comics.
** {{Lampshaded}} in an issue of ''Comicbook/NewAvengers''. Echo accuses Logan of hitting on her, but he retorts by saying soon enough she'll be hitting on ''him'', and that there's nothing either of them can do about it.

** 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.

Though Gwen sleeping with Norman got mercifully [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'', to the point of it being lampshaded in-story that Gwen would have never in her right mind had sex with craggily evil businessman like him.

* ComicBook/JonahHex is disfigured and uncouth but has maintained relationships with some incredibly gorgeous women: White Fawn, Mei Ling, Stiletta, Gina Gold, Tall Bird, etc.
* ComicBook/{{Batman}}'s enemy the Penguin has been known to date some supermodel-quality women, despite being short, fat, [[DependingOnTheArtist usually]] bald, and ugly; a lot of that has to do with him being rich and influential, however.
* The character of [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Terry Long]], one-time spouse of Donna Troy, is a bit infamous for this. He's a hairy-chested guy with a fro and a beard who looks about twenty years older than her, with a tendency towards cheap suits and come-ons pulled from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', but... well, he married Donna Troy, a superheroine who basically looks like, [[ContinuitySnarl and sometimes is,]] a younger Wonder Woman - and her friends considered him to be quite a catch for her! The intended message was that he was such a charmer and she was a NiceGirl enough to notice him; more often, readers [[InformedAbility found him oddly slimy]] and noted [[AuthorAvatar his uncanny resemblance to his creator]].
* 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.
* ComicBook/{{Wildcat}} is old and scarred with a cauliflower ear from years of crime-fighting, but he's still managed to sleep with several beautiful women, including Franchise/WonderWoman's mother Queen Hippolyta.
* ComicBook/{{Condorito}} is a rather ugly bird, yet he doesn't only have a beautiful girlfriend, but is often seen with other pretty women (all human). This also applies for his human friends, none of which are particularly good-looking.

* Deconstructed in the Franco-Belgian comic ''Dad'', via the [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep titular protagonist]]. Dad is portly and has greying hair, but has nonetheless managed to successfully woo ladies in the past. However, his love affairs never seem to end amicably, as each of his previous lovers leave him in the charge a daughter he sired[[note]]To put things in perspective, only ''one'' of his four daughters, Beberenice, was adopted.[[/note]], so he has to take side jobs to make ends meet.

* This is allegedly the basis for the Fakemon Babos and Osoe in the romhack ''VideoGame/PokemonQuartz'', obese bears with body hair (in addition to their fur), bad attitudes, and body odor, that are inexplicably popular with girls and have a moveset full of charm-style attacks.

* Exaggerated and played for laughs in the Death Note fanfic "Everyone Wants L", where L seems to get jumped by another character every few minutes.

* It's outright invoked in ''Film/{{Manhattan}}''. Mary goes on about how much her former boyfriend was a stud in bed and irresistable, and Ike is astonished when said boyfriend is, well, Creator/WallaceShawn.
--->'''Ike:''' You said you, you know, you had always led me to -- you said that, that he was a great ladies' man.\\
'''Mary:''' Yeah.\\
'''Ike:''' And that he opened you up sexually...\\
'''Mary:''' So? So?\\
'''Ike:''' So I -- you know, and then this little ''homunculus'' is here.
* Austin Powers from the ''Film/AustinPowers'' movie trilogy is a physically unattractive man by modern standards but considered a sex symbol in his day due to his self-confidence, merry personality, and "mojo." Vanessa lampshades this in the first film and still falls in love with him. He bags a number of beautiful ladies throughout the series who treat him like a stud muffin.
* Pavi Largo from ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' is a sex-obsessed, hideously disfigured maniac whose bearing borders on FlamboyantGay and who ''wears the faces of dead women stapled over his own scars'', and yet in virtually every scene he's in, women are giggling, hanging on his arms and fondling him. The fandom seems to agree with them. In all fairness, he is played by Nivek Ogre, who fairly oozes charm, and [[ThePaidForHarem his father signs their paychecks]].

* ''Film/GroundhogDay'': Phil Connors, played by Creator/BillMurray, manages to bed a whole lot of women who have known him for only a day despite looking like, well, Bill Murray. Here, however, it's more plausible because he takes advantage of his GroundhogDayLoop to have infinite opportunities to find out what will please the woman he's currently targeting.

* Film/TheThreeStooges (but especially Curly) were known for this, both on and off camera.
** Shemp Howard once agreed to go along with a publicity stunt naming him "The Ugliest Man in Hollywood". He later told the reporters [[SelfDeprecatingHumor "I'm hideous."]]
* ''Film/TheTaoOfSteve'' is about a dumpy loser who gets women by emulating Creator/SteveMcQueenActor.
* The Italian film ''Film/SevenBeauties'', with Creator/GiancarloGiannini as an overweight, selfish guy who is himself a bit mystified at how easily he can seduce women.
* In ''Film/Twins1988'', Vincent is like this despite being, like most characters played by Creator/DannyDeVito, a sleazy jerk. But his first time was [[{{Kidanova}} at twelve years old]]... when he seduced a ''[[NaughtyNuns nun]]''. In one scene, a former lover tells Linda, "never sleep with this man, never lend him money, and never believe a word he says!" He cleans up his act by the end, however, ending up HappilyMarried to Linda.
* In ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'' the older, college student returning to his old high school that Curt Henderson (Richard Dreyfuss) talks to at the high school dance is first seen surrounded by admiring girls even though he's not remotely handsome.
* Watch any Creator/AdamSandler movie since the early '90s. Every single character manages to hook up with or already be married to the hottest chick in the film....and it's viewed as perfectly normal.
* Det. Gamble from ''Film/TheOtherGuys'' - to the frustration of his partner: both for the trope's own sake and the fact that Gamble doesn't even notice how hot the women in his life actually are (He thinks his wife, played by Creator/EvaMendes, is "just okay.")
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/{{Machete}}'' by having women react to Creator/DannyTrejo like he's a handsome ChickMagnet, such is his [[WomenPreferStrongMen irresistable manliness]]. By the end of the movie he's been involved with Creator/MichelleRodriguez, Creator/LindsayLohan (and her mother), ''and'' Creator/JessicaAlba.
* ''Film/{{Sherrybaby}}'', in which Creator/DannyTrejo gets with Creator/MaggieGyllenhaal.
* Ben from ''Film/TheGraduate.'' He's unemployed (having just graduated) and doesn't seem to have any prospects, and is never presented as particularly handsome. The script makes it pretty clear he was a virgin (he denies it, but not convincingly.) And yet Mrs. Robinson seduces him, and then later her daughter ditches her whole life, including the man she literally just married, to run off with him. Their actions don't have much to do with him: the mother is lonely and looking for some young meat, while the daughter is dissatisfied and looking to rebel, an act she clearly begins to regret in the closing shot.
* The characters played by Creator/SidJames in the ''Film/CarryOn'' films are usually pretty successful with much younger women, although James was middle-aged at the time and certainly no oil painting. Up to a point, it became a parody of his own life.
* Stan and Jack in the ''Series/OnTheBuses'' movies. Both too old and ugly (especially Jack) but always have the hot birds fluttering after them.
* In the same era, comic lead Creator/LesliePhillips was the go-to actor when casting an aging and somewhat oily Lothario in British movies. Phillips was the epitome of the smooth-talking upper-class English cad who never failed to get the girl. although he tended to end up regretting it.
* In ''Film/TheBadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans'', Creator/NicolasCage plays Terrence [=McDonagh=] as a cross between UsefulNotes/RichardNixon and Creator/LaurenceOlivier's version of Theatre/RichardIII, but he still has Creator/EvaMendes for a girlfriend and Creator/FairuzaBalk practically dragging him into bed.
** Really, most Nicolas Cage roles, particularly in recent years, count as this. Cage was never a conventionally attractive or charismatic man, yet no number of bad toupees have prevented his on-screen characters from having romantic liaisons with a range of Hollywood stunners, including Creator/MegRyan, Creator/AngelinaJolie, Creator/PenelopeCruz, Creator/JessicaBiel, and January Jones.

* Creator/LaurelAndHardy: Usually Oliver (the obese one) has more success with the ladies than Stan in their films. Presumably because he is a bit smarter and more mature.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Roger Rabbit, an infantile, short, goofy (in both behavior and outward appearance), animated rabbit is married to a gorgeous, ''fully human'', sex bomb, Jessica Rabbit. {{Justified}}: Considering that Toons have a significantly different thought process from non-toons, and that literally their entire culture (and ''very existence as cartoons'', no less) revolves around humor, it really shouldn't come as any surprise at all when it's explicitly stated that it's ''Roger'' who's the catch and ''Jessica'' who's out of her league. (Probably doesn't hurt that he's a movie star either.)
-->'''Eddie Valiant''': ''She's'' married to Roger Rabbit?!\\
'''WesternAnimation/BettyBoop''': Yeah, what a lucky girl.
** In the original novel ''Literature/WhoCensoredRogerRabbit'', Roger and Jessica's marriage is portrayed in a very different light and one that wouldn't get past the radar. Roger is a JerkAss A-list film star with an ego and a temper to match. Jessica's entire showbiz career was appearing in "Tijuana Bibles" (cartoon porn) rather than her rather glamorous nightclub singer gig in the film. Their marriage, while not completely dysfunctional, was significantly rockier and more mercenary in nature than it is in the film.
* Jock from ''Film/{{Mortdecai}}'', who is constantly having sex with women despite being a total lout.
* Swanson from Rick Alverson's cult film ''The Comedy'' is a hipster jerk with no filter and a large beer gut. He has trysts with three women throughout the film, wooing one of them by brushing his teeth in front of her at work in the most disgusting way possible, and another by delivering a nonsensical monologue about killing slaves and making furniture out of their skin (in a stereotypical plantation owner voice to boot).
* Lance in ''Film/SexDrive'' subverts a fat nerd archetype as girls seemingly want to get with him at any given time.
* In ''Film/TheWeddingSinger'', Robbie is no great looker with a loser job and a HairTriggerTemper, but he manages to reel in one gorgeous woman after another.
* Darryl Van Horne from ''Film/TheWitchesOfEastwick'' is described as;
-->'''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]].
** Said by a woman who ends up sleeping with him just ''minutes'' later.

* Trumpeter Joey "The Lips" Fagan from ''Film/TheCommitments''. He's old enough to be everyone else's "da," and looks every bit like a guy nearing 50 with his weather-beaten face, but his soft-spoken charm wins over the band's three female singers — he's seen kissing one of them, has sex with another, and at least gets the last one, who's engaged to a rather boring man, flirtatious with him. [[spoiler:As all three girls are still smitten with Joey toward the end of the film, this causes their already-tenuous friendship to completely implode, along with the rest of the band.]]
* The opening to ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'' shows off Clevon, a FatIdiot and serial philanderer with a pretty ugly appearance. Inside the brief opening chronicling thirty years, he has sex with at least five different women (one of whom was young enough to be his daughter), and [[LawOfInverseFertility sires over twenty children]].
* Downplayed with Dante Hick from ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' and ''Film/ClerksII''. While not portrayed as unattractive, he's still a spineless ManChild with commitment issues and a tendency to [[{{wangst}} whine about everything]], especially when he finds out that [[MyGirlIsNotASlut his girlfriend sucked 36 dicks]] before they got together. In spite of this, both films are plotted around him winding up in a love triangle with two women considerably out of his league. Lampshaded by Randal in the second film.
-->"How the fuck do you always have like two good-looking girls who want you? You're the most hideous fucking chud I've ever met, and you always have a pair of girls fighting over you."
* Max Goldman (played by Creator/WalterMatthau) in the ''Film/GrumpyOldMen'' [[Film/GrumpierOldMen films]] is a {{Grumpy|OldMan}} slob and not very good looking, but he appears to have had a lot of luck with women in the past. He apparently had a relationship with John's ex-wife, May at some point before John married her. His widow, Amy is stated to be very beautiful, he briefly dates Ariel (aka. Ann-Margaret) before she ultimately ends up with John, and finally, he marries Maria (played by Creator/SophiaLoren) at the end of the sequel.

* Spain used to love this trope. About every Spanish comedy or romantic comedy from the classic film era had this (almost never using it as the source of humor), frequently pairing the likes of [[https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=455x1024:format=jpg/path/s9591cbda200b7a1f/image/i8550bb2c4aae6313/version/1460835092/image.jpg Alfredo Landa]] and [[http://i60.tinypic.com/16bmxcz.jpg Conchita Velasco]]. Made extreme during the "destape" ("uncovering") era between the mid-'70s and the early '80s, in which actors like the aforementioned Landa, [[http://www.canaltcm.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/lopez-v--zquez-e1446656494165.jpg José Luis López Vázquez]], [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DxUBVBsQ6A8/VvjOVGglUbI/AAAAAAAAt9g/l14hyS7DaI0Z7hqUflWfWdb_7QZn9_qyw/s1600/fernando-esteso--490x578.jpg Fernando Esteso]], and [[https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAsRlAu.img?h=351&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=606&y=334 Andrés Pajares]] were literally covered with sex goddesses all the time in dozens of sexploitation movies.

* Creator/ErichVonStroheim in many films such as ''Film/FoolishWives''. He more than makes up for being short and plain (and often [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys wicked]]) with his suavity and aristocratic manners.
* In ''Film/SomeGuyWhoKillsPeople'', Mrs Prichard describes her late husband Marty--who was grossly overweight--as a ladies man who was frequently found in the company of loose women. Sheriff Fuller has a hard time believing this.
* ''Franchise/ThePinkPanther'': With his average looks, staggering idiocy and borderline fatal clumsiness, one would be amazed that Clouseau can get one women to fall for him. Yet Clouseau has won the hearts of no less than three (Maria Gambrelli in ''A Shot in The Dark''[[note]]their relationship even produced a child[[/note]], [[SensualSlavs Olga Bariosova]] in ''The Pink Panther Strikes Again'', [[SexySecretary Simone Legree]] in ''Revenge of the Pink Panther'' and [[spoiler:Countess Chandra in ''Curse of The Pink Panther'']].
* ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein'' has Costello playing Wilbur, his usual dim-witted sort. Chick (Abbott) can't fathom how he bagged [[MadScientist Sandra]] and also managed to get a date with the beautiful undercover insurance agent Joan. [[spoiler:It ends up being a {{subverted trope}} though, as Sandra literally only wants him for his brain to make the Monster even more simple-minded and obedient, and Joan is just using him to further her investigation.]]
* ''Film/HolySmoke'': PJ is not particuarly good-looking. Even so, he has sex with ''two'' different beautiful (and [[MayDecemberRomance much younger]]) women during the film, Ruth and Yvonne, while it's also revealed he's got a committed girlfriend too, Carol, who's also quite attractive. Both of them even come onto him and not the opposite.
* MadLove: PJ goes mad trying to cure Ruth and ends up falling for her despite her reluctance.

* In one of the Literature/GotrekAndFelix's novels, the infamous duo comes across another Slayer who fits this trope to a T: short, ugly, and dirty, he manages to get it on with a remarkable amount of courtesans, to the point that Felix can't believe it.
* Sir Lancelot in ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing'' by T. H. White. He is known as ''le Chevalier Mal Fet'', "the Ill-Made Knight", as he is short, bow-legged, and catastrophically ugly, to the point of almost being simian. Still, he gets it on with the beautiful Guinevere, just like the traditional myths. It’s a JustifiedTrope in his case, though, as he’s dedicated his life to being as much of an ideal knight as possible, making him attractive in non-physical ways that most Kavorka Men don’t manage to pull off, either.
** He also is pursued by Elaine (who was very beautiful when they first met), implicitly because she was smitten with him for saving her. This ends badly for him, [[BedTrick as she tricks him into sleeping with her,]] triggering a ''huge'' HeroicBSOD. [[spoiler:And she does it later, making him go flat-out mad.]]

* Embarrassingly common in HardboiledDetective stories. The private eye may be a drunkard, a crackhead, and a self-pitying, self-absorbed fool, but the housewife next door, the beautiful reporter, the mysterious suspect ... in fact, every female character in the book under the age of sixty (or under the age of thirty-five, the sets are equivalent), seeks his tender ministrations.

* Severian, the DesignatedHero of Creator/GeneWolfe's ''Literature/TheBookOfTheNewSun'', describes himself as physically ugly. He's also somewhat misogynistic, and after he's exiled from his position as an ''apprentice torturer'', he takes a paid position as an executioner. The number of women who don't seem to mind is truly impressive. Then again, Severian is an Unreliable Narrator and at least one of his conquests is a possible rape.
* Nicholas van Rijn from the Creator/PoulAnderson's ''Literature/PolesotechnicLeague''. He's immensely fat, has a big nose, lives on strong cheese and beer, and takes snuff by the fistful. He's greedy, gluttonous, lecherous, and speaks his own brand of garbled Anglo-Dutch -- yet he's constantly surrounded by lovely mistresses. His vast fortune has something to do with it, but he often seduces women by his sheer [[LargeHam awesomeness]] too.
* Detective Terry Biggs of ''Literature/LomaxAndBiggs'' is stated to look like a mule. He's been married four times, and they all fail (it's apparently the woman's fault, however). It's his voice and charm.

* Creator/ArthurHailey's ''Overload'' has Nim Goldman, who's on poor terms with his wife. He looks like a middle-aged Judd Hirsch, according to some covers, and has sex with an absurd number of women over the course of the book, including a quadriplegic who still has sensation. [[spoiler:After she dies, he pours out his story about his affair with said woman to a female reporter. She suggests he go home. He says it's too far away. She suggests he come to her place, which is only five minutes away. He barely hesitates before accepting.]]
* Ainz Ooal Gown of ''Literature/Overlord2010'' is a gigantic demon-skeleton with glowing red eyes, not to mention that he has no genitalia whatsoever. Despite this, he's never lacking for suitors.
* Mr Wednesday in ''Literature/AmericanGods''. He does it by charm. Literally. "Charms can be learned."
* Berrynose of ''Literature/WarriorCats''. He has no tail, but he does have a [[SmallNameBigEgo huge ego]]. And she-cats love him.
* Viktor Krum from the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series. He's rather ugly, and pretty awkward socially. However, he is a great Quidditch player, and thus has lots of fangirls due to this. He even manages to successfully ask out Hermione, who had said earlier in the book that he wasn't good looking.
* [[{{Dracula}} Count Dracula]] in ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''. His physical description shows him as being rather ugly, even after he grows younger, and he has [[RedRightHand hairy palms]]. However, he has three vampire wives and manages to put several women into his hypnotic spell. He's more of a DirtyOldMan/sexual predator than the more modern VampiresAreSexGods trope.
* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'': Miles Vorkosigan was poisoned before birth, causing him to have abnormally small stature (self-described in the narration as "ahem-mumble-something under five foot"), a bent spine, one leg several inches longer than the other, a too-big head on a too-short neck, and a face prematurely lined with pain from more bone breaks than he can count. He still manages to sleep around with several gorgeous women throughout the course of the series. It's mostly that his sheer charisma and force of personality completely overwhelm his physical appearance once you actually get to know him.
* Nearly every male protagonist in any book by Tom Robbins, but most particularly ''Half Asleep in Frog Pyjamas''.
* Gabe Uglino in the first book of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' he's ugly, drunk, can't hold a job, abuses Sally (it's implied he abused Percy too) yet he gets both Sally and Sugar (his grief counselor).

* Ignatius Prindable in ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael'' has NoSocialSkills and isn't attractive at all. He is very intelligent but can be obnoxious about it, yet he has no problem getting dates or girlfriends.
* 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.]]
* Eremis in ''Literature/MordantsNeed'' is described as being balding and not at all conventionally handsome, but he's got enough presence and charisma to make that irrelevant. He doesn't even seem to need a [[PowerIsSexy strong social position]] to make it work - even when he's imprisoned and disgraced, it's mentioned that there's no end to how many gorgeous women turn up to visit him in his cell.

* Tony in ''Literature/ArmadilloFists'' is fat and ugly. And dresses badly. Oh, and is a ''quadruple amputee''. None of that stops him from being a big hit with the ladies.

* In the ''Literature/CormoranStrikeNovels'', Strike is overweight, has a missing leg and has what he himself describes as "pube-hair." Yet he manages to regularly attract good-looking ladies. In ''Literature/LethalWhite'', his longtime-friend Eric Wardle finally [[LampshadeHanging wonders out loud]], genuinely puzzled, how on Earth someone who looks like Strike keeps getting attractive women fighting over him.
-->'''Wardle:''' How d'you do it? Blimey, I'd like to know your--
-->'''Strike:''' There's no secret. Some women just like fat one-legged pube-headed men with broken noses.
-->'''Wardle:''' Well, it's a sad indictment of our mental health services that they're loose on the streets.
* Old Paley, in the Philip Jose Farmer story ''Literature/TheAlleyMan''. Old Paley is the last full-blooded Neanderthal, a garbage scavenger (today we might think of him as a freegan), an alcoholic...and his pheromones make him irresistible to homo sapiens females.
* ''Literature/GirlsDontHit'': Joss' husband Colin is neither handsome nor charming, yet somehow he has a very beautiful younger mistress who's crazy about him [[spoiler:and will even kill her to have him all for herself]]. She's not even his first mistress.
* In ''Literature/MansfieldPark'', the Bertram sisters' first assessment of Henry Crawford is that he's short and plain, and the narrator notes he's not handsome. On their second meeting, he's still plain, but his teeth are good and his manners are so charming--and on the third they won't suffer him to be called plain by anybody. Henry makes full use of his charms of personality to be an IntentionalHeartbreaker, flirting with both Bertram sisters at once and then turning his attention to Fanny when he realizes she doesn't like him at all.
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}:'' Despite looking like they got into a bad car accident at best and outright Frankensteinian at their worst, [[TheIgor Igors]] are noted to be very popular with women. Them being good with their hands is the ''least'' perturbing reason that comes to mind as to why...
* ''Literature/BenAndMe'': In France, Ben Franklin is doted on by many of the French ladies of the court, despite being about 70 years old and obese. TruthInTelevision in this case, Ben Franklin was famous at the time for his popularity with French women.

* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''
** The {{trope namer|s}} is Kramer, where a Latvian Orthodox priest calls his power over women "kavorka" (meaning "the lure of the animal"). Over the course of the show, he's seduced Creator/UmaThurman, a very devout nun, and a lesbian, offering no explanation other than, "I'm Kramer." This was actually PlayedForDrama on the episode that named it since he couldn't control the effect and almost destroyed the aforementioned nun's life against his own will, as she was willing to abandon the church just to sleep with him.
** George also qualifies; among others, he manages to have a date with ''Creator/MarisaTomei'' [[AsHimself herself]] at the height of her prestige/hotness.[[note]]He doesn't actually manage to sleep with her, but this is only because he was engaged to another woman at the time.[[/note]] This was also repeatedly lampshaded. When George can't have sex with his girlfriend, he gets smarter. Jerry theorizes that George has been devoting most of his brainpower to getting laid, and with that out of the way, he gains a new thirst for knowledge and starts studying textbooks constantly. Eventually, he is able to do things like show up the Yankees by using his knowledge of physics to effortlessly hit multiple consecutive home runs, [[RubiksCubeInternationalGeniusSymbol solve a Rubik's Cube]] while watching ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' and getting all the answers correct, and become fluent in Portuguese ''accidentally'' just from hearing the cleaning woman at his job speak it. Which indicates that he normally puts a lot of effort towards getting laid. The episode shows that [[AllMenArePerverts this is true for all men]], not just George, but it's probably safe to say he needs to put in more effort than the average man. In one episode, a woman decides to cheat on her husband with him simply because he told her "God bless you" when she sneezed, which her husband never does. When Elaine tries to apply this to her own life however, it's revealed that [[AllWomenAreLustful the opposite is true for women]] as the chaste Elaine becomes gradually dumber by the hour until she finally gets laid and recovers her slipping intelligence.
** "The English Patient" does this with both George and a rival named Neal who is described as looking just like George but even shorter and stockier yet was dating a woman played by the beautiful Chelsea Noble Cameron who George is able to seduce away from him almost entirely by accident.
** [[SitcomArchNemesis Newman]] has also been out with some very attractive women. Jerry learns this the hard way when he realizes he is dating one of Newman's exes. Although as horrifying as that revelation was, it still wasn't nearly as bad as learning that ''he'' broke up with ''her'' for ''not being attractive enough''. The idea that this woman -- or ''any'' woman, for that matter -- [[EvenBeggarsWontChooseIt is somehow too ugly for who he considers being the most repulsive man on the face of the earth]], is too much for Jerry to handle, and he can no longer bring himself to kiss her.
--->'''Jerry:''' All I could think of when I was looking at her face... was that '''''Newman''''' found this '''''unacceptable!'''''
--->'''Elaine:''' Maybe there's ''more'' to Newman?
--->'''Jerry:''' No. There's ''less.''
** Despite being the TropeNamer Kramer actually has the fewest number of romantic pairings of the four main characters by a large margin. He has 27 partners over the course of the show, compared to Elaine's 50, George's 62 and Jerry's 73, although that could've been a question of focus (Kramer does his own thing a lot), and in any case--as noted--George counts as well. Still, for an unemployed "hipster doofus" with no filter on his thoughts and a clumsiness that borders on making him dangerous to be around, he does pretty well.
* Nick Tortelli from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' is probably the ur-example - causes Diane to swoon just by standing near her when she doubts his abilities. His ex-wife Carla has a similar power over men in spite of her [[{{Jerkass}} personality]]. Though the women Nick seduces are considerably more attractive than the men Carla seduces.
* Tyrion Lannister from ''Series/GameOfThrones'' could be considered this, being a dwarf -- something even more discriminated against in Westeros than real life -- however, this is offset by his wealth, family prestige, his wit and intellect, and the fact that it's implied nearly every woman he sleeps with is a prostitute. He's only been in a serious relationship with a woman twice in his life, and both times it ended horribly. It's indicated he has [[BiggerIsBetterInBed large genitals]] too.
* ''Series/TheSopranos'':
** Tony Soprano is an overweight, chauvinistic, sociopathic criminal and yet sleeps with a variety of very good-looking women (not just strippers/prostitutes from the Bing) such as Irina (and her one-legged cousin), Gloria Trillo, Valentina La Paz, and Juliana Skiff ([[HasAType all of whom look like his mother]] -- and one of whom even ''acts'' like his mother at times -- adding to the AllPsychologyIsFreudian aspect of the show).
** Not just Tony; nearly all the mobsters in the show have beautiful wives and girlfriends, despite many of them being ugly, mean, or both. It's implied that the women they're with are [[PowerIsSexy attracted to the power they represent]].
* Dr. Guy Secretan from ''Series/GreenWing'' may be a wealthy anaesthetist -- but he is also a womanizing jerk who could fairly be said to look like "Donkey" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}''. ''And'' he believes that women with small breasts aren't worth resuscitating.
* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen''
** Alan manages to get together with many women such as Judith, Frankie, BrainlessBeauty Kandi, Melissa, and Lyndsey. This is despite him being effeminate, spineless, a BitchInSheepsClothing, a CosmicPlaything, broke, and not really all that attractive. Alan is arguably a {{deconstruction}}, since the women he attracts tend to not be very desirable (i.e. older women, {{gold digger}}s, women who are emotionally/psychologically damaged, or just all around bitches). Lampshaded in one episode where he met an older woman on a dating site. Her words: "You're male, you're straight, and you've got a job."
** Jake becomes one in later seasons. He's unattractive, immature, obnoxious and dumb as a stone, but manages to hook up with an attractive neighbour, has a threeway with two cute girls while in high school (''and at the age of 16'', to be exact). He also had sex with a 24-year-old woman, after lying about his age. In season 10, he went out with a 36-year-old who had three kids, one of which was older than him. By that point, he was of age. Lampshaded:
--> '''Herb:''' Who's Celeste?
--> '''Jake:''' My girlfriend. She lives next door.
--> '''Herb:''' Is she pretty?
--> '''Jake:''' She's gorgeous and smart and popular.
--> '''Herb:''' No kidding?
--> '''Charlie:''' We don't get it, either.
--> '''Alan:''' Maybe she's punishing her father.
--> '''Jake:''' Let's hope so.
* Spike Thomson from ''Series/PressGang'', despite being short, not particularly attractive, and insisting on wearing leather jackets and sunglasses indoors, apparently has no trouble both attracting a string of conquests that he uses to annoy Lynda and continually stealing Colin's love interests.

* Bobby and Tig from ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' go through women despite Bobby being fat and middle-aged and Tig being both abusive and downright psychotic. Tig is good-looking for a man his age, though, and he has bad-boy appeal.
* Cook from the second generation of ''Series/{{Skins}}'' is forever getting laid.

* ''Series/TheWire'': Bunk Moreland is fat, kind of lazy, smokes too many cigars, is probably an alcoholic, has one hell of a bad attitude (especially towards women), and rarely has a kind word for anyone. He also regularly cheats on his wife with a succession of beautiful women, who cannot seem to resist his attractions.
* Woody Fink of ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'' is, quite surprisingly, no slouch with the ladies. What makes him this and not a {{Kidanova}} is his greasy, unkempt curly hair, obesity, [[{{Gasshole}} flatulence]], [[ThePigpen complete lack of personal hygiene]], and extremely underdeveloped social skills.
* 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.
* Sheldon Cooper from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' is not exactly ugly but certainly isn’t handsome either, his appearance is often compared to a giant insect. Nevertheless multiple young and beautiful women are shown to be interested in him, which he [[CluelessChickMagnet barely notices]] most of the time. He doesn’t even have a nice personality; he’s weird, selfish, rude, arrogant, indifferent and antisocial. Most of the women who throw themselves at him appear to be attracted to his [[NerdsAreSexy intelligence]] or find his strange quirks charming.
* Played for comedy in ''Series/{{Stella|US}}'', which has a RunningGag where the balding and bespectacled David Wain is irresistible to women.
* Olly Reeder from ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' is a weaselly, pale, bespectacled prick who looks like an overgrown twelve-year-old...and over the course of the series beds [[IntrepidReporter Angela Heaney]], [[BlondeRepublicanSexKitten Emma Messinger]] from the Opposition, and is also depicted as something of a womanizer. This is really very good going in a series that seldom bothers to look at anyone's private lives (because most of them don't have private lives). This does just apply to the character rather than Chris Addison, the actor who plays him; Chris Addison is quite handsome and something of a {{Bishounen}}, but underwent a bit of BeautyInversion to properly play an awkward, constantly-stressed bureaucrat.

* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': Dwight. He's weird-looking, creepy, borderline psychotic, but when he bothers to pursue a woman, he's often successful. To the point where he once had an entire WNBA team clamoring for his phone number. This seems to just be an aspect of his [[HypercompetentSidekick hypercompetence.]]
** That being said, on paper Dwight does have a lot of desirable characteristics, as the show's creators have pointed out. He's tall and strong; while his supposed martial arts prowess is questionable, he has proven to be kind of a badass when called upon; he owns his own land, a country B&B and a [[AllGirlsLikePonies team of horses]]; and while he is weirdly intense, some women find that attractive.

* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Frank is overweight, sees women as mere objects, has terrible hair, and wears those weird hats. He also has "a lot of irons in the fire." It helps that his preferences run towards fat, past middle-aged women.
*** 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.
* "Love Me Tender," an episode of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'', features Dorothy dating Eddie, a short, bald, and totally bland man (played by John Fiedler, aka [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Piglet]] ... or, for those who remember the ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow'', Mr. Peterson) who not only has no personality but is still desperately pining over his ex-wife (on his and Dorothy's first date, he takes her to Roberta's--the restaurant said ex-wife, who is ''named Roberta'', owns). Despite all of that, though, Eddie is a phenomenal lover, and his and Dorothy's relationship is purely physical. When the other girls try to help Dorothy break up with him, they too fall under his spell, and even Sophia leaps into his arms to give him a hickey. Surprisingly, in the end, the writers [[DeconstructedTrope take the trope apart]]: Eddie explains that he [[BlessedWithSuck absolutely hates the fact that he can irresistibly turn on women]]. He ''knows'' that they find him sexually appealing but otherwise a complete nobody, and any woman who's actually worth dating inevitably leaves him because they realize that sex alone isn't enough for a strong relationship.
** Dorothy's ex-husband Stan is not much for looks or charm, but never has a shortage of beautiful women ready to butter his buns. Being an UnclePennybags helps.
* On ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', Tobias is arguably one, he doesn't go out seeking people, but a lot of people throughout the series just fall in love with him, e.g. Gob's wife, the marriage counselor that he sees with Lindsay, and a CIA agent.
* Dan Stark from ''Series/TheGoodGuys''. He's been known to attract women without even ''intending'' to, much to the utter bafflement of Jack.

* ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'':
** Earl Hickey's got a receding hairline (with what hair he does have being very unkempt), a PornStache, and a very average build. He's lazy, uneducated, drinks like a fish, and (until a certain incident involving a winning lottery ticket and the front end of a Cadillac) a selfish, white trash criminal with no redeeming qualities. He is shown to have slept with many women over the course of the series. Ironically, Earl has very little luck with women after learning about karma and turning his life around, seeing it as [[LaserGuidedKarma his comeuppance for being so horrible to women in the past]].
** Earl's FatIdiot brother Randy. He's chubby, he has PermaStubble and MessyHair, has a foul temper, and the IQ of a toaster. And he gets almost as much tail as Earl, even after Earl's HeelFaceTurn. His sweet personality no doubt helps and according to Catalina, he's very good in bed.
* Creator/VH1's reality show ''The Pickup Artist'' was basically the idea of turning average guys with little to no game into Kavorka Men. [[note]]The success of the techniques are somewhat exaggerated; one of the most important things for [=PUAs=] to learn and accept is the fact that they are going to be rejected. Maybe even a lot.[[/note]]
* Scorpius from ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. Creepy, amoral, [[http://www.davidkemper.com/pics/farscape/scorpius/scorpius01.jpg looks like a corpse in a bondage suit]]... and has had at least three lovers over the course of the show, and God knows how many more hiding away in his mysterious past. Two of them seemed to be in it for the kink factor.
* Flavor Flav of the hip-hop group Music/PublicEnemy, who starred in the Creator/VH1 reality show ''Series/FlavorOfLove'', where each season, twenty skanks (most of whom are almost half his age) fought over the affections of what must be the most unattractive man on the planet.
** While it was a reality TV show, Flavor Flav is, by the accounts of his bandmates, a musical prodigy and actually a quite genial guy in real life, so he does have some appeal. The fact that he's a [[GoldDigger millionaire]] helps.
* Pierce Hawthorne on ''Series/{{Community}}'' has been divorced seven times. This means ''seven different women agreed to marry him in the first place.''
** In the first season, he also [[spoiler: seduced the replacement Spanish teacher to convince her to let the Spanish 101 class pass after it turned out Chang had been faking his credentials.]]
** 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.]]
* Stan and Jack in the ''Series/OnTheBuses'' TV series. Both too old and ugly (especially Jack) but always have the hot birds fluttering after them.
* Film actor Leslie Phillips (see Film above) was given a new lease of life in the 1970s as the star of his own TV sitcom, ''Casanova 1974'', which followed the upper-class cad through a string of increasingly improbable affairs with women of half his apparent age. Phillips played Kavorka roles until ''well into his seventies''.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** 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).
** There is also the RunningGag of the alien barfly, Morn, always being accompanied by a stunning woman. Supposedly he's [[TheVoiceless a good conversationalist]].
** Another joke is Jadzia Dax shooting down any and all advances from Dr. Bashir, only to go out on a date with [[TheGhost Captain Boday]]. One of these men is a handsome doctor with a British accent and ([[InformedAttribute we are led to understand]]) a long line of sexual conquests. The other has a see-through head. Being ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, Dax has been around the block enough not to be bothered by BizarreAlienBiology. She did not, however, ever hook up with Morn; she claims it's because she considered him ''out of her league''.
** Quark's brother Rom is another example: worse dresser than his brother, even worse teeth[[note]](interestingly, one episode shows that he had a very nice tooth sharpener as a child, while Quark had to use a stick. So by Ferengi standards, Quark may be the one with bad teeth)[[/note]], and lacking the rudimentary smarts his brother has -- though he does have a knack for fixing things. By the end of the series, he's married Leeta, one of Quark's Bajoran Dabo girls who are definitely hired for their looks. In this case, it actually ''was'' frequently commented on, and even Rom was bewildered by his good luck; at one point he had himself half convinced that Leeta just wanted his money, so he donated it all to charity just to make sure.
* Franz Bieberkopf in ''Literature/BerlinAlexanderplatz'' had a string of beautiful women devoted to him despite being an overweight, unhandsome, unemployed ex-con.
* ''Series/PeepShow''
** Jeremy. Despite his receding hairline, gap teeth, and a clingy, obsessed personality, Jez is consistently involved with many attractive women.
** To a lesser extent, Mark fits the trope too. While he has encounters with fewer women, he has even less sex appeal than Jeremy.
* Creator/DavidCross plays a few of these in ''Series/MrShow'' (and might be one in real life) as Ronnie Dobbs, Derwin in the Lifeboat sketch and possibly Lee in "Our Secret Love." The former is a lazy, white-trash, boorish celebrity who had his first wife Tammy, also ended up with a second wife played by Creator/JennyMcCarthy (and in TheMovie has a girlfriend played by Nikki Cox). Terry's inexplicable attraction to Ronnie as well might also be part of this trope. The second had been in a relationship with both a woman and ''her mother'' simultaneously, and the latter had an affair with an ''entire family.''
* Gibby from ''Series/{{iCarly}}''. Even though he is chubby, socially awkward, and takes his shirt off at inappropriate moments, Tasha, who is extremely beautiful, thinks he's hot stuff. Lampshaded when Sam wonders aloud, "What is wrong with that chick?", referring to Tasha.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Series/CornerGas'', where everyone in Dog River thinks that Brent is the most good-looking man in town, to the point of AttractivenessIsolation as all the women think he is way out of their league. Lacey, being from Toronto, can't understand what the hell is so attractive about an overweight, balding gas station owner who eats his own weight in chili cheese dogs every day. She eventually comes to the conclusion that all of the ''other'' men in Dog River are so much more repulsive that Brent looks like the perfect man when compared to them. The other women pretend to agree with her, but as soon as she leaves they dismiss it as a load of crap. [[spoiler:Sometime between the end of the series and the movie, Brent and Lacey end up dating anyway.]]
* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'':
** Bulldog, who is short, bald, loud, sexist, racist, and highly obnoxious, yet still manages to score plenty. He seems to be unfazed by rejection, so it's possibly a numbers game for him. Roz has admitted to finding him attractive physically even though she's well aware of him being a pig, and has had several flings with him as a result.
** Despite being financially well off and a brilliant lawyer, Donnie is short, chubby, and not particularly attractive. During the course of the show, he dates Roz, nearly marries Daphne, and ends up with another very good-looking woman. It probably helps that he's ruthlessly good at his job and a genuine sweetheart to the women in his life (even his secretary).
** Daphne's brother Simon is rather homely in addition to being a sleazy, drunken layabout who [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave doesn't know when he's not welcome]]. Yet he seems to be an expert with the ladies, even convincing Roz to give him a chance. Though this is due to him being a ConsummateLiar, and the women he's with tend to quickly dump him once they find out what he's really like.
* ''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.]]
** To a less exaggerated extent, [[SinisterMinister Bishop Len Brennan]], an elderly, self-absorbed {{Jerkass}} who's broken his vows of celibacy with several much younger women.
* Many a joke on ''Guy Code'' is directed at panelist [[http://guycodeblog.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/clutch/2013/01/man-wipes.jpg Jon Gabrus]] being married to a total hottie.
* Frank Reynolds of ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' is a stubby fat balding man in his sixties who eats garbage, does drugs, treats those around him with callous disregard, and [[TheHedonist generally seems to be trying to break some kind of depravity record.]] He's also got a remarkable amount of romantic luck, including a tumultuous (but long) marriage and going steady with a woman young enough to be his daughter.
** Charlie Kelly is a cross between this and a CluelessChickMagnet. He has managed to attract tons of female attention, despite being an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] CloudCuckooLander with [[HollywoodHomely horrible odor and sweating issues, among other things]]. He also usually disregards other women in favor of [[SingleTargetSexuality the Waitress]]. In ''[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS08E04CharlieAndDeeFindLove Charlie and Dee Find Love]]'', he even manages to win the interest of the incredibly beautiful and wealthy Ruby Taft, though he was only using her to make the Waitress jealous.

* Much like Creator/WayneKnight's other character, Rick in ''Series/HotInCleveland'' has had sexual encounters with Melanie, Joy, and Victoria, all of whom find him irresistible.
* ''Series/AmericanVandal'': A RunningGag in the first season has the two main filmmakers keep uncovering the sexual conquests of a goofy-looking classmate and being thoroughly amazed.
* ''Series/{{Suits}}'': Louis Litt, a balding, slightly overweight man. Despite this, at least one attractive woman finds him irresistible. Like Dwight from the Office above, he's intense, smart, and highly capable. He's also a fairly well-off senior member of a top corporate law firm. The woman in question, Shiela Sazs, also dates another corporate lawyer, but a more conventionally attractive one.
* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'': In "Eye of the Beholder", the old and fat Salmoneus managed to score with the 50 Daughters of King Thespius. He had other love interests in other episodes.

* Israeli series ''HaShoter HaTov'' (which received a Foreign Remake as ''Series/TheGoodCop'') has protagonist Danny Confino. He's [[TheNapoleon short and short-fused]], a CowboyCop, macho, and average looking ''at best''. However, he bangs an impressive list of women and has boatloads of [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] with pretty co-worker Corinne.
* ''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.
* French canadian soap opera ''Des Dames de Coeur'' featured the serial wife cheating character Jean-Paul Belleau. As a middle-aged man with large glasses and a bad haircut, the irresistible charm of the talented actor playing his role garnered him endless conquests of the many beautiful female characters as well as an [[EnsembleDarkhorse enduring status as the show's most popular character.]]

* ''Series/AFrenchVillage'': Raymond is not very handsome, nor particularly charming. Nonetheless, he has no trouble getting attractive women, from his wife to Marie and even his housekeeper, who practically ''throws'' herself at him when he's even less appealing (down with an injury from being shot). They marry after Raymond's wife divorces him.
* ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'': Cal Cutler from the episode "Bedtime" is hardly an Adonis, yet had several beautiful women fighting over him, going so far as to attack and threaten his wife.

* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': The episode "Irresistible" features Richard Kind playing an obvious con man who has ''six wives'' and an entire town eating out of his hand. The main characters can't figure out why he has this effect on everyone and spend much of the episode wondering aloud at it. [[spoiler:It turns out that he's been making an elixir from an alien herb that causes him to emit pheromones that no one can resist. Sheppard has a cold and is immune to the effect, which is the only thing that stops all of Atlantis from falling under his spell.]]
* ''Series/SevenDays:'' Dr. Ballard falls somewhere between this trope and a ChickMagnet, being a nerdy balding guy in a wheelchair who is constantly being hit on by women. He's very smart and has a pleasant enough personality, which no doubt helps.
* ''Series/TheNuttHouse'': Dennis, the front desk clerk (played by Creator/GregoryItzin), reels in women like nobody's business, for no readily apparent reason.
* Bolander from ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' proves to be the biggest chick magnet out of the main cast in spite of being an overweight, elderly divorcee who's absolutely hopeless with women.

* 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.]]

* Music/{{Gorillaz}} has Murdoc Niccals, the bassist and self-proclaimed leader of the virtual band. Despite being an extraordinarily unhygienic green-skinned Satanist, there's just something so sensual and charismatic about him that leads him to apparently rack up many sexual partners, [[AmbiguouslyBi not all of whom are women.]]

* Shakespeare's Theatre/RichardIII is a hunchbacked, evil gnome of a man, and yet he woos the lady while simultaneously talking to the audience. Keep in mind that Richard's designs on the throne are in part motivated by his ugliness and poor record with women. ("If I cannot play the lover in these fair well-spoken days, I am determined the play ''the villain'', and '''hate''' these well-spoken days.") Literally over her father-in-law's dead body -- murdered by Richard's own hand, no less -- which, for an extra romantic atmosphere, happens to be still oozing blood from its wounds. Apparently, Anne just can't resist a MagnificentBastard. Some productions like to play with the idea that Anne herself is ruthless enough to accept Richard's hand just so that she can have a tiara again.

* Ernie Eaglebeak of ''VideoGame/TheSpellcastingSeries'', a scrawny geek in NerdGlasses that still manages to bed dozens of gorgeous women in his travels.

* The main character in the VisualNovel ''VisualNovel/RunawayCity'' is blessed with incredible luck, resulting in being able to seduce every woman he meets. The game subverts the normal UnwantedHarem when the GenkiGirl, {{Tsundere}}, and {{Bokukko}} all start to mutate into his [[YamatoNadeshiko favored type]] of girl just to please him. It becomes even worse when women he would never have a chance with spontaneously falling in love with him the second he expresses attraction to them. This results in him seeing his ability as BlessedWithSuck; it makes every conquest he has akin to rape.
* Curtis, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria 2}}'', has a girlfriend, another female coworker and a gay/bisexual male friend all attracted to him (and according to the actor who plays, even the JerkAss male coworker who keeps insulting and sabotaging his work does so to hide his attraction to Curtis), even though it's difficult to imagine anyone more generic in terms of looks and personality. [[spoiler: It turns out he's an ArtificialHuman built from {{Magitek}} by StarfishAliens, so it might not be a natural effect.]]
* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]: A short, [[ManChild eccentric]] Italian plumber with a round big nose and [[VocalDissonance high]] [[WesternAnimation Mickey Mouse-like]] [[VocalDissonance falsetto]], nevertheless manages to be a ChickMagnet, especially in the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' games. Apparently, Pauline, Peach, and in one case, Daisy [[ManlyFacialHair all dig the 'stache]]. [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan And the nice guy-ness, too.]] (Some fans have [[http://gabasonian.deviantart.com/art/Pauline-412657195 unique interpretations]] of this...)
** VideoGame/{{Wario}}, his rival and occasional nemesis, is out-of-shape, stubby little legs, has bags in his eyes, a pink garlic-shaped nose and a crooked mustache while being openly greedy. Yet he still manages to be an accidental ChickMagnet, as Mona, Princess Shokora and even his archenemy Captain Syrup all show differing levels of interest in him. Must be the [[StoutStrength muscles]] (and, in Mona's case, Wario's [[BadassBiker fashion sense]]).
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': an aforementioned character customization/romantic sidequests game, with the additional feature of humanoid aliens and blue-skinned space babes for partner options. [[note]]and in a sci-fi world that otherwise puts a remarkable amount of effort towards scientific realism. [[/note]]
* Ebisumaru from ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon''. This short, chubby, and effeminate guy is very popular with the ladies. The same goes for his EvilTwin.
* In ''VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue'', all of the ladies in Larpa are crazy for Ronfar. While he's not hideous, he's sleazy and certainly below average in looks by ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'' standards.
* 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.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' has Don Corneo. He is an unattractive man, but somehow manages to net himself a new "bride" almost every evening. Once he's bored of them, however, he feeds them to his pet monster. Leslie's backstory and NPC dialogue indicates that many women who find their way into his bedchambers may actually just be down on their luck and tragically resort to becoming his brides in the hopes that a night with the Don will net them enough money to get them back on their feet again.

* Motorcyclist "Heartbreaker" Charles in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', an overweight, scruffy, middle-aged man who trained in obscure styles of Pokemon battling to impress girls, and offers to teach them to the player character.
---> [[CatchPhrase I'm a heartbreaker. My name... Charles.]]

* ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings'' can have generations of these. Your ruler can have traits that make them an ugly, hideously scarred and/or misshapen with a personality that would make Ivan the Terrible look like someone's favourite uncle, and they can still sire armies of children by multiple wives and lovers.
* While [[spoiler:Claude]] from ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'' is fairly handsome, he's also a ''complete creep'' and massive {{Sadist}}. He also doesn't seem to do much to actually ''hide'' his sleazy nature, as [[spoiler:Throné and Ori]] are both completely disgusted by him when they meet him. But somehow, he's managed to seduce and impregnate "countless" women (the player meets ''several'' of his children throughout the game, backing up this estimation), and even managed to get one to leave her current lover for him!
* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'': Many female characters, including both female companions, find [[PlayerCharacter The Nameless One]] attractive for some reason. Despite looking like a scar-covered corpse. The game even lampshades this, saying on the back of the box that "despite your scarred visage, women swoon over your animal magnetism."

* Caesar of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' is [[AdiposeRex so fat as to border on spherical]] (apparently as a result of a botched summon), but still keeps things up with his old bride Cleopatra, and can usually provoke a blush from most other female characters--keep in mind that pretty much every ''other'' character in the game is [[HistoricalBeautyUpgrade ridiculously attractive.]] This one is given some justification, as ever; while Caesar isn't much of a looker, his skillset is based on his status as a great orator and leader, and as such, he is TheSocialExpert to an almost supernatural degree.

* The Webcomic/WalkyVerse's Joe Rosenthal is a split between TheCasanova and a Kavorka Man: he's got looks, brains, and superhuman strength, but he took an approach that was so direct that it should have earned him a lot of slaps in the face. It never did. This may actually be one of his superpowers, though.
** For some contrast, his ''WebComic/DumbingOfAge'' incarnation has admitted at least some of his game was all talk, and he's made a ''lot'' of enemies after his sex list was hacked and leaked, but on the other hand he's canonically slept with Roz, Penny, and Malaya (the latter ''after'' the sex list was leaked too).
* Joe in ''Webcomic/PunchAnPie''. He's a huge guy with an irritatingly uptight manner who nonetheless claims that few women can resist his "charms." The gigantic fistful of phone numbers he gathered in a few hours attests that he is telling the truth.
* Jason from ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' is pretty similar. He has, as Aubrey explains, the right physique to play Santa Claus, and while he can be a really nice guy, he's also known to play horrible tricks on his friends and basically be an egotistical jerk. Still, he gets lots of girls [[spoiler:until he gets married]]. He claims it's because he worked out a [[PickUpArtist psychological formula]] which allows him to instantly plug into any woman's attraction, though we've never actually seen this process work onscreen. May have something to do with the fact that he has [[BiggerIsBetterInBed endowments that have been known to frighten webcam girls]] and offers his partners a contract promising a "minimum of two orgasms per encounter".
* The trope is discussed in ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'' between [[ComicBook/SinCity Marv,]] [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]], [[OriginalGeneration the Commander, and Jonesy]]. Marv is convinced the trope is bullshit. Jonesy claims it isn't and Marv could be one if he wouldn't let his self-esteem get the better of him. The Commander's only response is "Kratos gets girls."

* ''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.]]

* WebVideo/ChadVader. He's an awkward, deformed nerd who works as the day manager in a grocery store and can't survive without his suit, and yet the ladies seem to like him quite a bit.

* Goes both ways with [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] [[BlackComedyRape Spooning With Spoony]]. His persona is a smarmy, [[MemeticMolester self-admitted rapist]] who makes videos about his sexual conquests and enjoys taunting them on how stupid they've been. Out of the six people he's spooned, [[GoodBadGirl That Chick With The Goggles]], Benzaie and [[AxCrazy Bennett The Sage]] loved every second of it. [[spoiler:On the other hand, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic got roofied and was so traumatized that he was mute for a while, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick ended up breaking down in tears and [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] tried to kill him.]]

* Rick Sanchez from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' is an elderly, nihilistic, amoral alcoholic MadScientist but has been seen to score with quite a few women ([[ExtremeOmnisexual and men and a giraffe]]). He mentions how in an alternative dimension where they halted the aging process, lots of attractive women wanted to have sex with him because they were fascinated to finally meet an old person. He also had a past relationship with a hivemind called Unity. He was also once married to the mother of his daughter, though the marriage failed [[spoiler:at least in some dimensions. For Rick C-137, the "protagonist" Rick the show primarily follows, his wife was killed by another Rick along with his adolescent daughter, preventing the birth of his grandchildren.]]
* The eponymous Dan of ''WesternAnimation/DanVs''. He's a short, ill-kempt, paranoid, violent, foul-mouthed malcontent who lives in filth, enjoys "wanton destruction," and is obsessed with taking revenge on any person, thing, or force of nature who he believes has wronged him, often not caring about anything or anyone besides himself (save for [[MoralityPet his cat Mr. Mumbles]] and his friends Chris and Elise, and even this can be spotty.) Despite all of this, more than once, some very attractive women take an interest in him. It never works out for one reason or another, but still.
-->'''Elise, after Hortense introduces herself as Dan's girlfriend:''' Wow, Dan, way to go!
-->'''Dan:''' Why are you so surprised? The ladies love me.

--->'''Burns:''' You seem to have a way with women, a certain--how shall I put it--animal ''[[GratuitousFrench magnétisme]].''
** Downplayed with Moe Szyslak who isn't the handsomest of males in Springfield and has quite a number of abhorrent traits - on the rare occasions he does manage to get lucky with the ladies, those probably won't last too long. In "Dumbbell Indemnity", Moe falls for an attractive woman called Renee who returns his feelings, only for the latter to leave him after discovering his betrayal of Homer. In "Eeny Teeny Maya Moe", he meets the petite Maya, who is 3-feet tall: his insensitivity goes too far when he starts making jokes about her small size, and she leaves him. In "Pygmoelian", Moe gets plastic surgery and auditions for the "It Never Ends" soap opera as Dr. Tad Winslow, being surrounded by attractive women, only for his surgically handsome face [[StatusQuoIsGod to revert back to being as homely and gonky as before.]]

* Cal from the series ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'' was made of this trope. Cal was able to effortlessly attract hordes of attractive college girls. Granted, Cal was somewhat handsome and good-natured -- in sharp contrast to his rival Rocko, who couldn't get a date to save his life -- but he [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undergrads#Main_characters frequently makes a slurping noise while talking or drools and often ends his sentences with the word "guy".]] Among other bad habits.
* Dr. Venture of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' - a skinny, bald, hunched, pale JerkAss with enough neuroses to fill a few books - has managed to get a surprising amount of tail. Ironically, he has very little romantic luck when he's ''[[CasanovaWannabe trying]]''; whenever he decides to hold off on the terrible pickup lines and cheap suits and opens up a little about his problems, he can be quite the charmer. To whit, Doctor Quym, Sally Impossible, Myra, Nikki Fictel, and Doctor Mrs. The Monarch have all shown varying (and sometimes [[StalkerWithACrush impressive]]) degrees of interest.
* Peter Potamus in ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' is literally a [[FunnyAnimal purple hippo]], yet that doesn't stop him from often picking up human women.
* Unlike Butt-head who essentially always fails at attracting women, Beavis from ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' displays an uncanny ability to be this in episodes such as "Vidiots" and "Holy Cornholio," though in both instances the duo's stupidity keep him from "scoring."
* WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman is an overweight 50-something anthropomorphic horse who happens to be a washed-up sitcom actor and personality-wise is very cynical, irritable and unpleasant and yet one of the [[RunningGag running gags]] of the show is that he has a very active sex life. It's also made crystal clear that most of his partners were just looking for some consequence-free sex with a convenient warm body that they never have to talk to again, which he is famous for in-universe.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** [[EvilMatriarch Big Mom]] is an [[FatBastard obese,]] [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen cruel,]] [[TheCaligula insane]] {{Gonk}}. Nevertheless, she has had dozens of lovers over the years (and eighty-five children to show for it). However, the author Oda later draws a sketch for the fans showing that [[IWasQuiteALooker during her youth Big Mom was quite attractive]]. She just got uglier as she got older.

* Tomoko Kuroki, of ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'', slowly develops into this over the course of the manga. She has NoSocialSkills to an extreme, is a huge perv and a bit of a maladjusted jerk, and is, at-best, average-looking, with a skinny and unathletic build and permanent ExhaustedEyeBags. And yet, over the course of the series, at least four major female characters, all of whom seem to be well out of Tomoko's league socially, have either definitely fallen for her or have done so in all but name. [[CluelessChickMagnet Tomoko is aware of absolutely none of this.]]

* The Fat Slags from ComicBook/{{Viz}} are a pair of overweight [[BigEater Big Eaters]] who nonetheless still manage to bed quite a few studs.

* 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]].

* Myrtle Wilson of ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'' is described as being rather fat and not particularly attractive physically, but possessed of a burning vitality and gregarious personality that makes her a joy to be with.

* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': Meredith, arguably the least attractive female Dunder Mifflin employee but [[ReallyGetsAround really gets around]].

* ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'': Patty The Daytime Hooker. She's a HollywoodHomely {{Streetwalker}} who is obviously in her 40's or 50's, and she's very open about being a prostitute. Yet she's slept with every straight and bisexual man in Camden...and all of them enjoyed it (even when she turned out ''not'' to be the comely young beauty in her newspaper ads).
* Leslie Winkle from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' as she is rather average looking with an unlikable attitude, and yet Leonard and Howard went out with her for a while and she boasts about having slept with different people in the majority of the time she appears. Leslie is somewhat plausible in that she's usually just after a one-night stand, is a woman who's willing to go to some effort to pick and seduce men who think they have no chance at sex ''period'', can control her personality long enough to ''get'' sex, and that most of those men would find not just her intelligence but her sarcasm attractive as long as it was aimed at somebody else.
* Jennifer Putnam in the ''Series/FranklinAndBash'' episode "Jennifer of Troy," a middle-of-the-road plain-Jane who turns heads through her confidence and charm. She sues a men's magazine for wrongful termination because she believes they were intimidated by her beauty.
* One episode of ''Series/NipTuck'' has an overweight nudist as an example of this trope. She seduces the notoriously shallow Christian Troy, giving him the best orgasm he's ever had (and he's had a LOT of orgasms, in-universe).
* Even pushing 60, Kathleen Turner is gorgeous. However, in Season Three of ''Series/{{Californication}}'', her performance as Sue Collini is deliberately off-putting, at times evoking [[Series/{{Cheers}} Nick Tortelli]] in a skirt. This turns her extended cameo into a triumphantly flaming ball of distaff Kavorka.
* Sadie from ''WebVideo/TheAwkwardCompilation'' is fat and also a huge bitch, but has no problem getting guys due to her family's wealth.
* Carla Tortelli from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' is neither easy on the eyes nor a warm, friendly person, yet she has several children, some of which weren't by her ex-husband either.
* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': Maris Crane, all the more impressive given she never appears in the flesh. She's a spoiled, selfish, demanding, quite possibly out-and-out mentally disturbed woman who many times is said to be not remotely conventionally attractive, being dangerously underweight and so thin and tiny she can hide behind breadsticks... and yet twice she has men inexplicably attracted to her regardless. The second time outright baffles Niles, because the man in this case gushing about Maris is her ''marriage counselor'', and yet he's talking about how warm and caring Maris supposedly is (Niles wonders if there's just some mistaken identity going on. There isn't).

* One sidequest in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'' is testing potential beaus for Nurse Nina, whose {{Animesque}}, [[Franchise/StarWars Leia-resembling]] vending machine portrait turns out to be...somewhat misleading when you meet her in person. Despite this, three men seem interested, with two of them only breaking off their pursuit when they discover that the "testing" involves a Vault Hunter trying to kill them.

* In the ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' universe, Dodoria (who here is {{Gender Flip}}ped), despite having a {{Gonk}}-like appearance compared to the other aliens, is regarded as the most beautiful and fertile woman on her planet (before Freeza blew it up). And for what it's worth, in ''WebAnimation/{{HFIL}}'' [[spoiler:she's implied to be sleeping with Raditz.]]

** George also qualifies; among others, he manages to have a date with ''Creator/MarisaTomei'' [[AsHimself herself]] at the height of her prestige/hotness.[[note]]He doesn't actually manage to sleep with her, but this is only because he was engaged to another woman at the time.[[/note]] This was also repeatedly lampshaded. When George can't have sex with his girlfriend, he gets smarter. Jerry theorizes that George has been devoting most of his brainpower to getting laid, and with that out of the way, he gains a new thirst for knowledge and starts studying textbooks constantly. Eventually, he is able to do things like show up the Yankees by using his knowledge of physics to effortlessly hit multiple consecutive home runs, solve a Rubik's Cube while watching ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' and getting all the answers correct, and become fluent in Portuguese ''accidentally'' just from hearing the cleaning woman at his job speak it. Which indicates that he normally puts a lot of effort towards getting laid. The episode shows that [[AllMenArePerverts this is true for all men]], not just George, but it's probably safe to say he needs to put in more effort than the average man. In one episode, a woman decides to cheat on her husband with him simply because he told her "God bless you" when she sneezed, which her husband never does. When Elaine tries to apply this to her own life however, it's revealed that [[AllWomenAreLustful the opposite is true for women]] as the chaste Elaine becomes gradually dumber by the hour until she finally gets laid and recovers her slipping intelligence.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} has had a large number of highly attractive love interests (particularly if they're [[HeroesWantRedHeads redheads]] or Japanese), in addition to having a fairly large female fanbase. This is even though he's a short, hairy lantern-jawed guy with weird hair and a perpetual scowl. Unfortunately, poor Wolvie can never settle down and snuggle because [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies his enemies will harm and/or kill them]]--or he'll just outlive them due to his extreme HealingFactor causing him to age at a much, ''much'' slower rate than pretty everyone else. Not only that, but Wolverine also has rather poor hygiene (it's mentioned that he rarely bathes or brushes his teeth). The live-action movies seem to write this out (can't pass up the chance to do a Creator/HughJackman shower scene).
** It's also that Wolverine's gruff appearance and brute demeanor belie the fact that he's actually quite brilliant. He's fluent in eight languages and conversational in a dozen more. His world travels, military/espionage training, and great age have allowed him to acquire immense knowledge and skills as well. He doesn't need pheromones to attract women. He does it by being possibly the greatest example of a modern renaissance man. Most of the time, though, it's just [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys his bad-boy persona that attracts people]], especially given that he was introduced at a time when antiheroes were relatively rare in comics.

* ''ComicBook/SuskeEnWiske'': GenderInvertedTrope: Tante Sidonia is a thin woman with large feet, a long nose, glasses, a hideous quiff, and virtually no breasts. Yet there have been men who were in love with her. Though her recurring suitor is the JerkAss [[WillTheyOrWontThey Lambik]].
* ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'': Olive Oyl is a thin girl with no breasts, a whiny voice, and is a typical DamselInDistress. Yet Popeye loves her and in the animated cartoons even has to fight off Bluto to protect her.
** Popeye himself is also quite ugly. One eye permanently closed, a huge jaw, short in stature, and big bulbous forearms.

* ComicBook/{{Batman}}'s enemy the Penguin has been known to date some supermodel-quality women, despite being short, fat, usually bald, and ugly; a lot of that has to do with him being rich and influential, however.

* 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.

* The opening to ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'' shows off Clevon, a FatIdiot and serial philanderer with a pretty ugly appearance. Inside the brief opening chronicling thirty years, he has sex with at least five different women (one of whom was young enough to be his daughter), and [[LawOfInverseFertility sires over twenty children.]]

* In ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed President of the galaxy, is implied to be this. He has been described as the "best bang since the big one" by Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple breasted whore of Eroticon Six. He stole Trillian away from Arthur who was unsuccessfully trying to initiate a conversation with her during a party on Earth. Zaphod is not very bright, and was voted several times "The worst dressed sentient being in the known universe." And in adaptations, he's usually played by actors who while not exactly hideous are still not known for being conventional lookers. He may be President of the Galaxy, but he holds no real power whatsoever. His function is solely to direct attention away from those who hold actual power.

* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': Meredith, arguably the least attractive female Dunder Mifflin employee but [[ReallyGetsAround really gets around.]]
* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': It is once lampshaded that Liz Lemon is a female example of this trope. She is usually made out to be [[HollywoodHomely ugly and unattractive or having a poor personality]], and yet she certainly has had a lot of conquests.

** In the second season he was shown to be engaged to a woman after only one date.

* ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein'' has Costello playing Wilbur, his usual dim-witted sort. Chick (Abbott) can't fathom how he bagged [[MadScientist Sandra]] and also managed to get a date with the beautiful undercover insurance agent Joan.

* Ainz Ooal Gown of ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'' is a gigantic demon-skeleton with glowing red eyes, not to mention that he has no genitalia whatsoever. Despite this, he's never lacking for suitors.
