Should these two trope titles be switched?

Not Distracted by the Sexy Ignore the Fanservice

The first is about when everyone in general makes no comment on clothes that would be considered especially risque or sexy in normal life. Usually, this is because these clothes are their purely for fanservice, and having characters comment on it as excessively sexy creates characterisation for the character wearning them that wasn't intended. These clothes are usually worn by Ms. Fanservice.

The second is about when a character attempts to seduce someone, but their attempts fall flat. While this usually involves Fanservice, it seems wrong to call it that in the trope, since Fanservice is usually for the audience's benefit rather than any in-universe character in particular, and this trope explicitly involves the seduction being attempted at a specific character.

I realize this probably too much trouble for people to bother changing, but it's been bugging me for a while now, and I felt I had to say this.

I agree, I think of their titles as having the meanings exactly reversed. Might be a little tricky to just flat-out switch them like that, though.

The names really do suit each other better than their own pages. I don't know how practical switching them would be though.

I'd say a rewrite for clarification purposes wouldn't be a problem.

Also, check the examples. If just the descriptions are switched it will make switching the two significantly easier.
