A person who, by intense charisma, magic, science, or mundane methods of seduction, is able to make everyone throw themselves at their feet; absolutely anyone they want. Then they find a true challenge when they meet another character who, for whatever reason, is immune to their charms. In other words, this person has the power to choose the seducer of their own free will, and love them for who they are on the inside. Forbidden Fruit is also a factor since something unattainable is naturally more desirable. If The Casanova gets a Love Interest, he will often fall for her because of this trope. This is often an explanation behind Ladykiller in Love and implied in Love at First Punch. Contrast All Take and No Give. Sub-Trope of Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond, Forbidden Fruit and No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction. When the uncontrollable object is not flattered by the attention, she may be dealing with a Prince Charming Wannabe. Also compare Power Dynamics Kink and Rejection Affection. Contrast Aroused by Idiocy, which involves someone being attracted to those who can't challenge them. |

The Princess's Jewels: In his home country, Raymond was known for his silver tongue and charming qualities, which earned him scores of fawning noblewomen. When he attempts to flirt with Ariana, her swift putdowns makes him want to follow her. Even though she'd been hiding her own feelings and was in fact giddy over his forwardness, she played into it knowing he's more likely to chase her when she doesn't show it. Lina, Jade's Stalker with a Crush, constantly tries to get him on her side when she learns he wants to escape Ariana's harem. Every time he rebuffs her or acts cold (as he does to everyone else) just makes her fall harder, but this eventually leads to her drugging and attempting to rape him to make him hers once and for all. |

X-Men: Jean Grey in the comics doesn't really seem to earn Wolverine's interest until she shouts him down. Every time she'd telekinetically clobber him and shout "I am no one's property!", it seemed to make him hotter for her. Pity every adaptation ever forgets that, having Logan fall for her the instant he first sees her. The Ultimate Marvel adaptation has this as well. Wolverine underestimates Jean, she blasts him with Telekinesis and afterwards, he starts becoming more attracted to her and even abandons his mission to kill Professor Xavier. |

While Gaston says that the reason he fell for Belle is that she's the most beautiful girl in town, Belle also happens to be the only girl in town not taken in by him and her constant rejection of him clearly wounds his ego and only makes him even more determined to have her at any cost. It's made more explicit in the 2017 live-action remake where he explains to Lefou that "it's the ones who play hard to get that are always the sweetest prey." | |

HoneyWorks' "Mean Encounter" from Confession Executive Committee ~Love Series~ has this as its central premise. The singer is a typical teen playboy who fools around with girls and takes life in a lax manner, but only one person seriously dislikes him for it— and that very same person is the only one that makes him start reconsidering his actions, leading to an honest romantic pursuit. | |

It's made more explicit in the 2017 live-action remake where he explains to Lefou that "it's the ones who play hard to get that are always the sweetest prey." The Beast also starts to warm up to Belle after she refuses to obey and defer to him. Unlike Gaston, who views her refusal to submit as a challenge to break her to his will, the Beast is inspired by her behavior to be a better person. |

She finds this both creepy and incredibly obnoxious and hits back. Unfortunately, KC has a pretty strong Healing Factor. | |

Mrs Lovett to Sweeney Todd. She's consistently portrayed as being very attractive. Preskett Prest, author of the original book, in particular waxes lyrical about how captivating she is to the men that visit her shop and most adaptations go with that and make her very flirty but Sweeney is largely immune to her charms or incapable of having a real relationship with her. Or else he mercilessly uses her as a pawn in his plotting... | |

Skin Horse: Tigerlily Jones is the only (human) female to appear for more than a panel and not find Tip extremely attractive. She barely even noticed him unless forced to. This is probably the main reason she's the only woman Tip's actually thought twice about (without sleeping with her or her trying to kill him). | |

Metamor City: In one story John the incubus finds himself falling for a noblewoman he was assigned to seduce, but who is able to resist his abilities. It turns out she's a daughter of the goddess of love, and John is notably crushed after the assignment ends and he has to leave her. In a bit of an inversion, Kate starts dating John when she discovers she's Immune to Mind Control and realizes that her infatuation with him when they first met wasn't just his incubus powers. Morgan was reluctant to address her feelings for Kate after becoming a vampire due to her domination gaze, especially as Kate was apparently straight. When she finally tells her just before a dangerous mission, Kate has Morgan look her directly in the eyes to demonstrate that her gaze doesn't affect her. They start a polyamorous relationship shortly after. |

In the Sillage comic The Collector, a corrupt alien diplomat develops an obsession for Nävis in this way. He keeps a whole harem of his past conquests but obsesses over this one girl he cannot get. (He is a powerful telepath but Humans Are Special by not being psykers — her mind is blank for him.) This develops into a genuine love that gives him what might qualify as a Heel–Face Turn. Although love is a strong word. He just toned down his obsession. It didn't stop him from putting dozens of video cameras in her ship and robot friend to watch her all day. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court: Not love per se, since he seems incapable of loving anyone besides himself, but Coyote is clearly fascinated with Antimony and Reynardine precisely because they're not afraid to disagree with him or brush him off. In contrast, Ysengrin is a fawning yes-man to Coyote, so Coyote barely gives him the time of day. Except of course when he's eating Ysengrin's memories. | |

Wooden Overcoats: Marlene Magdelena is domineering, carries a whip, and isn't afraid to use it to intimidate... everybody. Georgie finds this impossibly sexy and turns into a babbling, smitten mess every time they're in the same room together, but Marlene barely notices her. What she does notice is when Antigone finally gets sick of her behavior and tells her off — prompting Marlene to fall head-over-heels. Neither Georgie nor Antigone can quite believe this. | |

Groundhog Day pulls this with the lead character, Phil, who is stuck in a Ground Hog Day Loop and can't get out. At one point he uses this to take advantage and convince a variety of beautiful women he loves them or he knew them by learning stuff about them, coming back the next day, and using this knowledge to seduce them. Since every day at 6 when he wakes up everything is reset, he can profess his love to a woman, sleep with her, and wake up without her ever realizing this had happened since technically it never did. This goes well for Phil with everyone he wants except Rita, his producer, whom he spends multiple weeks learning everything about her, and yet not one time does she sleep with him; actually they all end with him being slapped for his behavior. As would be expected, this is the one he falls for. | |

This is the premise of Coming to America. Eddie Murphy's character, an African prince, wants to find a woman who would love him for who he is, not an Arranged Marriage trained to obey him or a Gold Digger after his money. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: "You're... rejecting ME? Oh my gosh! I am so into you now! I'm gonna run home and leave a thousand messages on your answering machine, bye!" "Stupid Cupid" also confirms what anyone could have guessed — that Juandissimo is so obsessed with Wanda, who hates his guts because she's "so unattainable." |

It's possible to interpret The Taming of the Shrew like this, with Kate being impressed that she is unable to frighten away Petruchio (YMMV of course). This is the approach taken in 10 Things I Hate About You. The inverse is also true for the movie — Patrick grows to love Kat because she's not afraid of or especially impressed by him, unlike most of the student body. |

Spider-Man: Gwen Stacy's attraction to Peter Parker started because he was the only guy she had ever met that didn't instantly fall at her feet and acted very disinterested and dismissive of her on their first day of college when they first met, which quickly made her very determined to get him to notice her. Little did she know that this wasn't because he wasn't or normally wouldn't be interested but because he had been running himself so ragged as both Spider-Man and Peter Parker the last several days that he could barely stay conscious much less hold a conversation at the time. | |

Subverted in The Bright Sessions, where Charm Person Damien isn't remotely attracted to Chloe, who cannot be compelled by him, but is obsessed with Mark because his Power Copying means they will both be able to compel others and so can relate to each other. | |

In El Goonish Shive, when Pandora was young, she had a hobby of having mortals do silly stuff in return for valuable information. But one day, as she was growing increasingly bored with how predictable it was becoming, a man named Blaike Raven refused her offer. She proceeded to persist at first for the challenge, and then because she was growing increasingly fond of him and the information she was offering him really was very important. That being that there was no treasure, and was about to be killed. She even saved his life and apologized for not telling him sooner, even though Blaike kept saying it wasn't her fault that he didn't listen. | |
