Contrast with PaedoHunt and {{Ephebophile}}, and IWasQuiteALooker. This can sometimes lead to FirstGirlWins. This sometimes overlaps with SheCleansUpNicely, CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces, and/or FormerlyFat. Might happen to a KidHeroAllGrownUp.

* [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender flipped]] in ''Series/SisterSister''. Tia and Tamera's neighbor Roger was always trying to get a date/a kiss/SOMETHING from either one of them and they'd always blow him off with "[[CatchPhrase Go home, Roger]]!" Over one summer, however, he goes through puberty, turns into a hunk ("from AS IF...to ALL THAT!"), and the girls spend an episode fighting over him before realizing they'd still rather just be friends with him.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheNeapolitanNovels'': The first book explores the squicky side of this trope, as the girls of the neighborhood start being sexualized by older men almost as soon as they hit puberty. This is especially egregious and becomes a major plot point in Lila's case, as she goes from being considered an ugly duckling to being the object of infatuation of several legal adults at only fourteen, which ultimately ends up having disastrous consequences for her.
