Most Amazon-type female societies avoid the male sex but a certain manly type of hero is capable of winning over these tribes of women, even their leaders. Ironically, this trope may occur out of a misplaced if well-intentioned desire to make a beloved character's intended just as good as they are rather than the significant other being 'helpless'. Thus, a twist on this trope is where a female character conveniently never runs into a situation where this scenario is fulfilled, thus technically pleasing anyone still using this cliché and also those who hate it. This trope is Older Than Feudalism: in Greek Mythology, Hercules is sent on a quest to the land of the Amazons in order to steal the golden girdle of Hippolyta. The Library of Apollodorus first tells the version in which the two of them battle to a stalemate and the queen is so impressed with him she gives it up freely (in fact, Hercules may well have married her if Hera hadn't been so intent on making his life a living hell). Compare Women Prefer Strong Men, where the focus of the attraction is on the man simply being strong for a man rather than stronger than the woman. Also see Best Her to Bed Her, Amazon Chaser. Related to The Worf Effect or Faux Action Girl (depending on how powerful the women really are). See Never a Self-Made Woman. The evil version of this is sometimes Villainesses Want Heroes. The polar opposite of Weakness Turns Her On. Related to Love at First Punch, when the Amazon first meets her Hercules, and Battle Couple, which also involves both partners being capable fighters without the man necessarily being stronger. This trope is not universal enough for aversions to be meaningful; examples saying "averted in..." will be removed. |

Shampoo's Chinese Amazon tribe in Ranma ½ qualifies with the law that a warrior must marry any man who manages to defeat her. In addition to being ordered to wed him by the law, despite the fact that he didn't intend to betroth her, Shampoo genuinely loves Ranma and in no small part does so because of his superior fighting abilities. Ironically, Shampoo also has rather "un-Amazonian" views on romance and is quite happy with the idea of being Ranma's "damsel" if he'll let her. In the anime, two younger Amazons, Ling-Ling and Lung-Lung, also fell for Ranma, much to his consternation and Akane's annoyance. Whether the Chinese Amazons gender-twist this trope to "All Herculeses Want Amazons" is unknown. Mousse, a male Chinese Amazon, is most certainly attracted to Shampoo, and being that he is comically poor vision, it seems to be that it's her combat expertise that drew him to her. Unfortunately for him, when he challenged her to a marriage match (they were only three years old at the time), she beat him utterly. It's not known whether or not he's tried it again since, but Cologne (who, admittedly, is also Shampoo's great-grandmother and doesn't like Mousse, particularly compared to Ranma Saotome) insists that his initial loss means he can't ever win Shampoo by that method. The fact he's stronger than she is now doesn't really mean all that much, as it's heavily implied that Mousse could never bring himself to really hurt her, and so she will always be able to beat him. |

In the German Nibelungenlied, Brünnhilde can only be freed from her curse (of strength) by being beaten in single combat. When defeated, she falls for Siegfried, and... the whole story goes on from there. In the Völsung Saga, which is the Scandinavian version of the same tale, Brynhildr is punished by Odin by being put into a magical sleep until a man woke her, that man she would have to marry. Brynhildr asked Odin that at least the man would be a worthy hero, which Odin agreed to and put up a magic fire around the mountain where she sleeps so only the best man could pass through. When Brynhildr is eventually married she finds out that the worthy hero, Sigurd, has under the influence of a spell, had her marry a less worthy man. The tale goes to tragedy. |

With This Ring: Maxima (mentioned above) switches targets from Superman to the Renegade after he killed Klarion, a Lord of Chaos, something only an extremely capable warrior could do. the Renegade, who is in a relationship already, and not any more interested in Maxima than Superman was, ends up convincing Maxima how stupid this trope is since she's specifically seeking a co-ruler and a father for her children. A co-ruler needs to compliment her own talents as a leader, not just be another version of her, and an alien is extremely unlikely to be able to procreate with her naturally, so even if the Renegade or Superman were interested, they'd have to create offspring through cloning. She ends up deciding to marry her current advisor instead, who happens to be a woman. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The hot-blooded, aggressive Evangelion pilot Asuka Langley Soryu actively scorns admirers her age, but has a major crush on the suave, dashing (and much older) secret agent Ryoji Kaji. She even lampshades this at one point by saying something along the lines of "none of these pathetic boys are a real man like Kaji." This being Eva the trope is played with by her secret attraction to the much more passive Shinji Ikari, although she is unwilling to admit this to herself. | |

Inuyasha: Kagura is one of the strongest female characters in the story. She's not only stronger than several male protagonists but she's also so strong-willed even the Big Bad can't control her without magical means. Sesshoumaru is pretty much the most powerful character in the story. He's the only character that she was never able to manipulate which led her to start freely helping him in the fight against the Big Bad and ultimately led to her falling in love with him. The manga implied that her feelings were not one-sided. | |

In Galaxy Angel, Forte Stollen's secret fantasy is to be a damsel-in-distress who has her life saved from certain death by "A Strong Man, A Really Strong Man", who will then carry her around in his arms like a bride. When she encounters just such a man — one of the galaxy's top criminals, who singlehandedly destroyed an entire planet with his bare hands and was thus imprisoned for life in a pocket dimension contained in an unbreakable boulder — she actually disobeys her orders by actively trying to get him out and manages to free him, in order to consummate her desires. | |

Played with in the Hurog duology. There is a woman who is as good a fighter as the hero, Ward. He has a crush on her. She, on the other hand, appreciates his prowess in battle but is not in love with him. She falls for him eventually, but only once she gets to know him better... and his personality is rather sweet and caring. | |

It doesn't play out like the typical scenario, but - Jennifer Walters, as Amazonian Beauty as they come, had a long-standing crush on the Marvel Universe take on Hercules. Hercules' relationship with the actual amazons is not that great, Hippolyta is still infatuated with him; however, she's an evil violent Stalker with a Crush who will do whatever she can to sleep with him including turning him into her sex slave.

Defied like in the original film in the first episode of What If...?. Even after becoming a Super-Soldier instead of Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter loves Steve because he's humble, supportive, kind, and good to her, and doesn't care if he's short, scrawny, sickly, and asthmatic. That being said, it is played straight when she learns alternate versions of Steve are a Super-Soldier and wants to see what he looks like. | |

Dwight from Sin City is already Mr. Fanservice but his relationship with Gail is a good illustration of this trope. Case in point: The Big Fat Kill. When he returned to Old Town after the events of A Dame To Kill For (and because he had gotten them into some trouble in this very story), Gail had a gun pointed at his head. He didn't flinch and instead, formulated a plan to get them out of the current mess they were in. He then demanded that she take the gun away. She didn't listen so he slapped her. She responded with "You bastard!" which was followed by, "I forgot how quick you were" which was then followed by her pulling him in for a quick makeout session. | |

Janne from World Heroes swears by this. She seems to quite... admire J. Carn if his ending is to be believed and later considers asking Hanzou out in one of her own endings (even when Ryouko is following him around), but when Fuuma asks her out she openly turns him down. Either this or Hero-Worshipper (or maybe a mix of both) is the basis of Ryouko's massive Precocious Crush on Hanzou. | |

In Black Lagoon, there is a certain degree of UST between Balalaika and Rock. It has been implied that they were one of the few people to have fought the other to a stalemate. At the very least Chang is one of the few people besides Rock that Balalaika seems to flirt with but the idea of anyone dominating Balalaika is too ridiculous to contemplate. | |

Subverted with Vartox and Power Girl. He's arguably more powerful than her (has more powers, and the ones he has are at least at Kryptonian levels) but his hyper-masculinity is a complete turn-off for Kara Zor-L. It doesn't help that Vartox bears an uncanny resemblance to Sean Connery as Zed, the protagonist in the film Zardoz, nor that Vartox's world's approach to romance could be described as 1970s Hugh Hefner on acid. | |

In Heavy Metal, Den is a 98-pound weakling voiced by John Candy. Sent to an alternate dimension, he transforms into a bald, muscle-bound, loin-cloth-wearing Action Hero, "with his dork hanging out." He rescues a Damsel in Distress, Kath, and when they have a moment to talk in peace (Expanded upon in a deleted scene), Kath explains that she was brought into that world as well and changed to her delight into a naked Ms. Fanservice ideal and would love to offer her attentions to her hero, and he accepts eagerly. Later, Den is forced to join a small raid against an evil queen's palace only to blunder into the queen in the dark. When the lights come on, he is clearly grabbing her (very much uncovered) breasts. The queen doesn't mind, considering she deliberately positioned herself to enjoy Den's touch, and a few seconds of animated sex later, she proclaims Den her messiah. | |

The Tetramand alien species from Ben 10 and its numerous Sequel Series. They are a species of super-strong, Multi-Armed and Dangerous Blood Knights, with females being the physically stronger sex. Any male who can beat one of the females in combat wins the right to marry her. Ben finds this out just a little bit too late, and to make matters worse, he beat the Tetramand princess, who is quite the Daddy's Girl. "Daddy" in this case being willing to destroy Earth if his little girl doesn't get whatever she wants. | |

Season 6, meanwhile, has a side arc involving series regular Brock Samson falling for a heroine named Warriana, who is an obvious parody of Wonder Woman. Although they start by antagonizing one another, and Warriana then has to get over some weirdness after they do hook up, in the end, she is completely protective of "her man"—out of the entire series, probably the character least in need of protection. For bonus points, Warriana is a literal Amazon (to the point of having only one breast), and she tends to call Brock "Hercules". | |

In One Piece, Luffy winds up on Amazon Lily, an island of badass women almost totally oblivious to the existence of an opposite sex ruled over by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ridiculously gorgeous Boa Hancock; a puppy-kicking Vain Sorceress-to-be who despises men and has the power to turn people to stone using their own impure thoughts. This being a shounen manga, Luffy gets his Hero on in a big way and Hancock winds up falling for him. Interestingly, Luffy not only doesn't reciprocate such feelings, he's barely aware she has them. Even after seeing her topless twice and the second time complaining because he expected food instead. Lampshaded in that former Empress Nyon implies that this happens to every Empress of Amazon Lily eventually, and subverted because it's implied that it's killed them all except for Nyon, and now Hancock (who was dying but recovered as soon as she had the chance to help Luffy and stay with him a bit longer) because they were all too stubborn to act on their lovesickness. Another major subversion is not only Hancock stronger than Luffy, it isn't his 'manly' traits that attracted her to him in the first place. It was his empathy, chastity (being able to resist her charms), and his general affability. In this case, it was more like all Amazons end up with Hercules because they're the only ones capable of surviving long enough to show they're not complete dicks. She also loves him because he punched a World Noble in the face. She was captured, enslaved, and tortured by them when she was young. The Amazon Lily arc was obviously a Shout-Out to the Trope Namer. Before Hancock, there was Alvida, who became smitten with Luffy due to the fact that he was the first man to beat her in a fight. |

In The DCU, she certainly had no respect for Heracles for doing the above to her mother (a concept which was played with in JLA/Avengers, where she gets to beat the crap out of Marvel's Herc), but Herc and the Amazons eventually made peace in modern times. Viciously parodied in Wonder Woman vol. 3 #24, where the producers of a Wonder Woman movie have her make an "I will only marry a man who can defeat me" vow and get beaten by Heracles. The real Wonder Woman is not impressed. During John Byrne's run on Wonder Woman (1987), the opposite happened - Heracles fell in love with Wonder Woman. |

Although they start by antagonizing one another, and Warriana then has to get over some weirdness after they do hook up, in the end, she is completely protective of "her man"—out of the entire series, probably the character least in need of protection.

In Kemono Jihen, the female kappa of Kyoto are incredibly passionate about their love for sumo and respect anyone who can beat them in a sumo contest. When Inugami gets in the ring with a teenage wrestler named Kiyo to earn the Purity Calculus, he's nearly thrown out at the outset due to her powerful lower body. But he beats her by transforming into an enormous bear-like tanuki large and strong enough to pick her up in a Bridal Carry and gently place her outside of the ring. This one gesture gets the entire crowd of female wrestlers head over heels for him and he has to flee in tanuki form to avoid the crowd of fangirls. | |

All the Amazonian women want him for his...physical assets, but poor Ublala just can't deal with being used and not getting any emotional support out of it. Desra believes that eventually those with weak wills will be subjugated to those with stronger wills. That is why the only person she can imagine submitting to as a lover is Nimander, whose will has never faltered. |

Oliver is clearly more annoyed by the proposition than aroused, and she laughs it off as a joke and doesn't push things any further. | |

Puyo Puyo: According to some of her bios, one of Rulue's primary preferences in a man include someone who can actually keep up with her in battle. Aside from the Rescue Romance that sparked her adoration for him, this is implied to be yet another reason why she is so infatuated with Dark Prince. | |

Chris Hargenson experiences something like this in Carrie while, as your standard Alpha Bitch she is used to wrapping boys around her little finger but is drawn to Billy Nolan because he is the first boy she hasn't been "able to dance dandle at her whim" and he controls her in the relationship. | |

In Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, the Amazons are an One-Gender Race obsessed with producing the strongest warriors. Because of this, they have a tendency to instantly fall in love with any man who manages to best them in combat, and are often very forward with their affections even if the person who beat them isn't interested—for example, the Prum leader of the Loki Familia, who is only interested in mating with his own race. | |

Kanril Eleya (Bait and Switch (STO) and The War of the Masters), a highly decorated Starfleet captain and space and ground combat veteran seems to prefer blond men who are bigger and stronger than she is (which takes some doing, seeing as how she's 6'2" and an accomplished hand-to-hand fighter). | |

An odd example in Accel World comes with the school idol Kuroyukihime, known as Black Lotus and the Black King, one of the most powerful players in the "Brain Burst" program. She became enamored with Haruyuki (a short, fat boy with severe self-esteem issues due to his appearance and bullying) after seeing his speed and drive in his squash games, and the only reason she got higher scores than him, for the purpose of getting his attention, is she had to cheat to even surpass him. He himself still can't believe she honestly likes him in that way. The way it's presented, this in turn makes Haruyuki an unusual kind of "Hercules", but replace "physical prowess" with "video game skill, though within a virtual game world", it still translates to physical prowess in a sense. | |

In How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup is certain that this trope is the only way to get a girlfriend, especially the smokin' Astrid. However, when Hiccup forgets about that while befriending Toothless the Dragon, he eventually is confronted by her learning his secret. To explain the situation, Hiccup and Toothless take her on an amazing flight and she later makes it clear to Hiccup that she's thoroughly won over by him, a boy capable of exhilarating wonders no mere Hercules can match. | |

Saeko Nogami from City Hunter has vowed to only marry a man stronger than herself. Or at least that's what she says: there's a good chance it's actually an excuse to get out of her father's attempts at combining her marriage... Anyway, the first six aspirants failed the "test" and ended up hospitalized, and when the seventh (who was there only because he was a cop and Saeko's father was his boss) actually beat her she wasn't interested in him in the slightest (he fell for Kaori and then left town anyway). We have no news on what happened to the following aspirants, except there was at least a number 8. Interestingly, Saeko still plays it straight, as her two actual love interests (Ryo and the late Makimura) are stronger than her, and she knows. |

My Bride is a Mermaid: Heavily implied to be the case with Akeno, thanks to the love potion Ren gave Nagasumi. The potion caused Akeno to see Nagasumi as a martial artist with such an impenetrable defense, that she immediately concedes without a fight by casting down her sword. Then she blushes and tells him he can "do as he wishes". | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mitsuri aims for this to an extent, after being rejected by all of her previous normal male suitors who thought her being inhumanly strong was a turn-off Mitsuri then hoped she could meet a man who’s either equally strong as her or more so she can finally marry; as a Hashira this comment of hers ambiguously made it seem she either doesn’t consider the other male Hashira strong enough or she just isn’t attracted to any of them. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Zig-zagged. Buffy is stronger than all the men she dates, not one of them ever beat her in a fight, and are all heavily implied to be weaker fighters than her. However, any man who she's involved with for more than a few episodes is a substantially stronger and better fighter than normal—unnaturally so, whether due to vampirism or to the meddling of evil government scientists. Normal, human men like Owen, Scott, Parker, and Dowling were out of the picture extremely quickly, and Xander never got a chance in the first place. Buffy may be the strongest around, but she also tends to gravitate more toward men who can at least keep up with her in a fight. | |

Gender-swapped in Star Wars Legends: One character notes that the only person Ace Pilot Jag Fel would ever have a relationship with would be one who could out-fly him. This turns out to be Jaina Solo, who has a long-running on-again-off-again relationship with him beginning in New Jedi Order before finally marrying him in Fate of the Jedi (it's strongly implied in Star Wars: Legacy that their descendants became the new Imperial royal family). Luke and Mara may also count. Mara is strong and muscular and basically a living killing machine as a former Emperor’s Hand. Luke is no slouch but there are still instances and skills where she surpasses him. He doesn’t doubt she could easily kill him if she wanted to. The Courtship of Princess Leia: Teneniel (a fit, athletic warrior woman from a Lady Land society) wants Luke, who also just happens to be the most powerful Jedi ever, the only male Force user she's ever seen (although she'd heard legends of his kind). Luke quickly makes it clear that he won't return her desire though, and frees himself after Teneniel has captured him easily. She thus moves on to Isolder, a buff, handsome muggle prince. |

Ku Fei in Negima! Magister Negi Magi will only allow Negi to kiss her if he can beat her in a fight, though she settles for an arm-wrestling match since time is pressing. Afterward, she "jokes" that now he'll have to marry her. On more than one occasion, Negi's reduced her to a semi-coherent puddle by displaying how strong he's become. | |

Ryunosuke Fujinami in Urusei Yatsura is a tough and spunky young lady who talks like a thug, uses only masculine pronouns, spends much of her time hving knock-down, drag-out, property-destroying brawls with her psychotic father, and looks so much like a pretty boy in her usual attire that all the girls around have crushes on her. When the Tomobiki High School nurse asks her what she'd want in a boyfriend, she declares she'd like a guy who is tough, wild, and stronger than her, and even gets the idea to hold an open challenge to her fellow students where she'll go out with whoever can beat her in a fight. Unfortunately for Ryunosuke, the only guys she consistently attracts over the course of the series are Loveable Sex Maniac Ataru Moroboshi and her parentally approved spouse Nagisa Shiowatari; a Wholesome Crossdresser who is as girlish as Ryunosuke is boyish. The closest she's gotten to being approved of by the rest of the guys at Tomobiki High has been when they've leered at her nearly ending up topless during the Miss Tomobiki High contest (which she only got into via a spite vote by the girls) and when her class-mates tried to cop a feel during a rugby game after she briefly decided to abandon using her sarashi. | |

In Saint Seiya, female saints have to wear a mask as a symbol that they've renounced their femininity. Traditionally, if a man ever sees their face without a mask, their choices are to either kill the man or fall in love with him. This was evidenced in-story by Ophiuchus Shaina, who was seen without her mask by Pegasus Seiya, early on in the series. At first, she tries to kill him out of humiliation... but eventually she falls in love with him, to the point where she risks her life for him several times. Coincidentally, female Saints are called "Amazonas" in the Portuguese version (since the word Saint is replaced with Knight, and a female Knight is always called an Amazon in Portuguese), making it a bit more of a literal example. |
