This is where a guy is shown to be actively put off by a girl's aggressive pursuit of him. Conversely, if she were more shy and modest about her feelings, he would like her more. The use of this normally implies that men want to be the ones to chase and pursue a relationship, and hate it when it looks like, for any moment, this is not the case. To put it simply: a man wants to catch a woman; not be caught. This trope may be the reason why the guy will not be afflicted with The Dulcinea Effect towards this girl. To contrast, he will instead be shown to be afflicted with it towards a girl who is more passive. It doesn't matter whether the girl is (or isn't) an Action Girl—even if she's strong in combat, as long as she's shy romance-wise, she'll still be more desirable compared with a Damsel in Distress who is too eager. Compare My Girl Is Not a Slut; the logic may be that a woman so eager to pursue one man will be just as eager to pursue another man. (As if it had nothing to do with her crush on one particular man.) On the other hand, it may be that the girl comes on too strong for the guy, who might otherwise return her affections. If the girl is a yandere, then running away as fast as possible is understandable. Compare with No Guy Wants an Amazon, where the man feels threatened because the girl is physically more intimidating (overlap between the two is common), and Unwanted Harem (If the man is chased by an entire ensemble of girls). Aggressiveness is often a trait of the Abhorrent Admirer, though it's definitely not the only trait that puts the guy off. If the girl stops chasing him, it could lead to an Unrequited Love Switcheroo. If a guy who prefers to chase women gets upset that a woman constantly rejects him, it's also a case of But Not Too Challenging. Aggressive Submissive may come into play on either side: For females, suddenly becoming submissive when things actually turn affectionate may be treated a way to "make up for" their pursuits. For males, it tends to expose their insistence to be the "chaser" as posturing—they wanted a woman who takes the lead, but not when people are looking. It's prevalent in anime, as the Japanese have different ideas of gender roles relative to the Anglosphere and Europe. |

Tokyo Ghoul: Kaneki has feelings for unassuming, shy, and kind girls like Rize and Sen. They're both attractive and like books like he does with Sen actually being his favorite author. At least before he finds out they're ghouls with homicidal crushes on him who simultaneously flirt with him while trying to kill/eat him. | |

Ranma ½: Ranma expresses little to no interest in every girl that aggressively chases him (100% of his suitors). This is played with in an arc where a reversal jewel made Shampoo give up on him and act aloof; he starts pursuing her out of sheer ego. However, Ranma only wants to be considered attractive; he never "chases" anyone, and his Belligerent Sexual Tension with Akane is passive on both sides. A manga storyline about a spirit copying female Ranma demonstrates this trope in utterly absurd fashion: The spirit runs around the street, wildly hitting on every man in sight, even if they're busy or dating other women. She complains to Ranma that she must not be able to find a date because girl Ranma is ugly. Insulted, Ranma joins her to show how to pick up guys by acting demure and reluctant. |

Misfile: Male-to-female Gender Bender Ash likes Missi, and feels truly happy while dating her — but becomes extremely uncomfortable upon realising that Missi is playing the traditionally masculine "pursuer" role in the relationship, always trying to convince Ash to get physically intimate, while Ash is the one who keeps resisting in a stereotypically feminine way. Ash is trying to hold on to his male identity, and so whenever he finds himself playing a traditionally feminine role in any context, he sees it as a sign of the impending destruction of his "male psyche". Ash feels much safer being attracted to the more traditionally feminine Emily. | |

Beauty and the Beast (2017): A good part of the reason Gaston is fixated on Belle is that she's the only girl in the village who hasn't thrown herself at him. LeFou points out Gaston could easily marry one of the other girls and stop wasting his time with Belle, but Gaston prefers the challenge of winning over Belle. | |

Gender Inverted in Miraculous Ladybug. Marinette at first doesn't find Chat Noir's constant flirting to be attractive, but she is crushing on his alter ego, the more sweet and shy Adrien Agreste. Funnily enough, the original idea for Ladybug and Chat Noir's dynamic plays it straight; where Chat Noir's advances aren't welcome to Ladybug, Marinette's constant pursuit of Adrien isn't warmly received, either. | |

In the Harry Potter series, Harry shows visible discomfort or outright repulsion by any girl's attempts to pursue him romantically. In the fourth book, he turns down many invitations to the Yule Ball and spends a good portion of the sixth book dodging Romilda Vane's advances. He also doesn't realize his feelings for Ginny until after her crush on him becomes less obvious. | |

Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo! (the original OVA's, at least) seems especially put off by Ryoko's (and occasionally, Washu's) aggressive sexual advances. On the other hand, he seems more romantically interested in polite and reserved Ayeka, girlish Sasami, and spacey Mihoshi. | |

Penguindrum: Kanba Takakura explicitly tells his sister (and prospect love interest) Himari that he HATES it when girls follow him around and give him presents like handmade sweaters or lunches. His Clingy Jealous Girl suitor Masako knows it, but she's unfazed and deliberately invokes this on him. (So does her penguin Esmeralda, who chases after Kanba's penguin #1). | |

Future Diary: Yukiteru repeatedly says that Yuno's obsessive pursuit is what is scaring him off. He has crushes on two other girls who act shy or reserved with him, and he seems to like Yuno best when she acts flustered and embarrassed. However, it may be not so much her pursuit that puts him off as her cheerfully killing anyone who gets in the way. | |

In The World God Only Knows, Keima uses the example of Yandere Kanon to explain that girls pursuing the main character are death traps… in games, that is. He's also put off when the Sensei-chan Jun approaches him on her own since it'll get in the way of his own plans. Finally, he's rather irritated and flustered when Yui begins pursuing him aggressively after her capture arc, causing Haqua to realize that it has nothing to do with his games or plans; he just isn't good with bold women. | |

Married... with Children: Al Bundy does not like it when his wife comes on to him. Bud doesn't like it either, mostly because the women (and one man) who hit on him are usually Abhorrent Admirers. A possible subversion exists when you consider that Bud probably would like to be chased by attractive girls... but being a Bundy he rarely is. |

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! presents this trope mostly for comedy, but with a bit of sad irony behind it. Nyarko's clingy, manic, and horny way of expressing her feelings for Mahiro puts him off and makes him respond with Slapstick, which only makes Nyarko redouble her efforts, meaning she's only sabotaging herself. In one episode he openly admits that if Nyarko were less aggressive he'd probably have returned her feelings by nownote sadly, he says this too quietly for her to hear and refuses to repeat himself, and in another, he outright tells her that her zaniness isn't just bothersome, but makes her declarations of love hard to believe (especially since she's fond of telling fibs for humorous effect). After he tells her as much in one episode, Nyarko responds that she has a hard time expressing herself without being goofy, but promises to keep saying it until he believes her — and then says "I love you" in a sweet, heartfelt, and honest manner. | |

The fact that Mitsuki Bakugou was the one who did the pursuing of Masaru lowers Hisashi Midoriya's already low opinion of the Bakugous in Conversations with a Cryptid. Although its less out of gender stereotype and more out of disgust for Masaru's general spinelessness. | |

Zig-zagged in Ayakashi Triangle: Matsuri reciprocates romantic feelings for Suzu, who has strong sexual desires but is waiting for Matsuri to make the first move. Reo comes onto Matsuri much harder, which he just finds embarrassing and doesn’t understand. However, Matsuri’s mother figures he’s actually an inversion: a submissive who likes it when Suzu takes charge, so Reo’s best bet is to be aggressive to Matsuri as possible. After Suzu and Matsuri confess their love to each other, Suzu quite aggressively makes the first move, and Matsuri's only issue is that he wants to wait until he's male again. True to his mother's assessment, Matsuri really does seem enjoy Suzu taking charge, for instance "complaining" that her Forceful Kiss was "too amazing". | |

Soul Eater: For a possibly non-romantic example: Soul is unimpressed when people (all of them girls) request to be his "partner". He doesn't bother responding to them or making a comment of any sort, which annoys/bothers/worries Maka, his current partner. He is also more annoyed than anything else when Blair decides to follow them home after their failed attempt to eat her soul, although this may be because Maka blames and throws books at him for Blair's suffocating him with her boobs and his subsequent (and no-longer-existent) nosebleed. For a romantic but female example, Kim comments that she wanted Ox to tune down his affections for her. |

In one W.I.T.C.H. comic book storyline, a bunch of kids from the girls' school are away on an exchange student program, including three of the girls from the team. One day they run into Martin Tubbs from school, who begs them to hide him from his Stalker with a Crush, a chubby local girl named Mathilda. Since Martin himself is a Stalker with a Crush who has been making moves on Irma since issue one, the irony is obvious. | |

Inverted in Sannikov Land. Annuir demands to become Ordin's second wife and is determined never to leave him, and he likes her very much for that. She sticks to him even after his first wife abandons him, and ends up following him to Russia, despite knowing that civilization has marched on really far and she will have to get used to it (it's the early 20th century, and Annuir's culture is Neolithic). | |

Mass Effect 3: While the base game paints Wrex as something of a Krogan Casanova, and he discusses how much he's looking forward to making babies again after the Genophage is cured... the Citadel DLC reveals that, being the krogan leader (and thus, clearly the strongest of the krogan), an awful lot of krogan women want him to be the father of their firstborn, and Wrex is less than happy about this. Of course, Wrex probably might not have minded so much if he was actually able to get a break from the whole thing and give his poor quad a rest. The fact that Eve/Urdnot Bakara is encouraging it doesn't help the matter. | |

The Snow Maiden: Mizgir dumped his passionate fiancée and went for her shy, reserved friend. Lel is extremely irritated when the Snow Maiden just won't leave him in peace, begging him in no uncertain terms to take her as his bride. He only escapes by lying to her he's having supper with the boys. |

Rebuild World: Played with. Early in the series, this seems like a straightforward example. Akira is downright mean to Sheryl, who seems the most aggressively in pursuit of his affections; meanwhile, The Rival Katsuya is a Green-Eyed Monster who — despite being surrounded by girls in love with him, to the point that his unit is known as The Harem Squad — is only interested in women around Akira, whom he has difficulty with. However, the later character arcs turn this on its head. Katsuya falls deeply in love with Sheryl, who's actively pursuing him as part of a Honey Trap to help Akira, while Carol, who even more assertively pursues Akira, ends up becoming one of the closest to him. Elena has an arc about doggedly trying to win back Akira's trust, which he's ultimately receptive to. Meanwhile, Akira repeatedly feels guilty for the trouble he brings Sheryl and shows his respect for her Guile Hero talents when it's least expected. | |

Yuya, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, is chased by a fortune-teller girl named Mieru after he beat her in a duel and she declared him to be her "chosen one". To be fair to him, pretty much anyone would be creeped out when a twelve-year-old girl you never met before asks how many children you want to have with her. (For the record, Yuya himself is fourteen years old.) | |

Rome: Cleopatra plans to seduce Julius Caesar and have a son with him. To hedge her bets she decides to seduce one of the Roman soldiers escorting her to Caesar. Lucius Vorenus however is a traditionally-minded Roman who refuses to sleep with a woman at her command. Cleopatra is outraged, so Vorenus sends in Titus Pullo to placate her, who has no such scruples. Cleopatra learns from this mistake and adopts a more submissive attitude when meeting Caesar, allowing him to seduce her. | |

Fifi LaFume on Tiny Toons, during the rare cartoons where she's the main character instead of an extra, will obsessively pursue any reasonably attractive appropriately-aged male (all it takes is to accidentally acquire a white stripe running down the back).

Consistently, throughout the entire series thus far, the extremely well endowed, scantily clad witch Dorothea has been throwing herself at him. He's annoyed with her, and she's the girl he's least interested in. | |

Discusses candidly in Petals on the Wind. Cathy and Bart have 2 key dates that take place back-to-back. In the first one, Cathy dresses to the nines and makes a nice dinner. The second, she very pointedly does not do that. They're both right. What Cathy says about Bart being misogynistic is true, but Cathy also is very deliberately seducing Bart as part of a scheme of hers, and he's right to feel he's being led into a trap. |

The Fairly OddParents!: Timmy is considerably creeped out by Tootie's constant advances (though her being Vicky's sister may have something to do with it). He also finds Veronica creepy, despite her being almost on par with Trixie in terms of beauty. However, this is due to Veronica's obsession with wanting to be Trixie, revealed in the same episode her attraction to Timmy is first shown. An episode had Wanda getting hit by a love arrow and falling in love with Juandissimo, who has been her Stalker with a Crush since the series began. Instantly Juandissimo becomes terrified of her. When the arrow wears off, she returns to normal and Juandissimo wants her again. |

Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury seems to provoke this in Andy Bogard. His feelings for her emerge only in situations when she's not pressing him to feel attracted to her. Eventually it seems that it works out, as pre-fight dialog between them in The King of Fighters XIV indicates that they're now living together. | |

Justified by how his potential brides are going as far as spying on him, or are just so aggressive that he genuinely fears for his safety. One of the reasons he fell for Aislinn Forrester is because she was the one girl who wasn't throwing herself at him. | |

Downplayed in To Love Ru: early on Rito much preferred the shy Haruna to the comparatively aggressive Lala, but ends up falling in love with both anyway. Rito rejects later suitors that are much more aggressive than Lala (especially Momo), but that's more because he's still faithful to Haruna and their "chasing" often involves brazen sexual assault. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic is turned off by Amy's constant advances. In one game he complains about so many girls being attracted to him. Since it's Sonic, who's always been known for his ego, it's unclear as to why he's complaining. Either he doesn't understand romance, avoids it on purpose, or is annoyed by all the flirting. In Sonic Chronicles, you can unlock a romance subplot with her depending on how nice the player acts towards her. Most of the time, she's so obsessed with the idea of him - not just going out with him, but with marrying him - that it's off-putting, verging on creepy in some games. Ironically enough, the more she chases Sonic, the more this trope is on display. It seems to be dying off in more recent games, to the point of being all but extinct in Sonic Frontiers, especially after Amy witnesses a pair of romantically entangled Ancients and their Koco hug each other before THE END annihilates them. The same trope is zigzagged with Knuckles and Rouge, shown most clearly in Sonic X. They're clearly attracted, but he acts like he hates her, and she's just flirting to antagonize him. In any case, Knuckles always puts his duty to guard the Master Emerald before anything else, so he's most likely intentionally avoiding anything romantic with anyone. |

Reborn! (2004): Tsuna has blushed and felt his heart flutter for every main girl character (Obviously Kyoko, Bianchi, Chrome, Lal Mirch, even Uni) except Haru. Out of all of them, towards Tsuna, she is the most aggressive and direct in her pursuit (granted, if Bianchi were even interested in Tsuna, she very likely would be the most aggressive). Tsuna makes it very clear that he has no romantic interest in Haru, and constantly has to try to slap down all of her advances. | |

Shouta from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid really doesn't enjoy Lucoa's displays of affection or her attempts to get closer to him. Not helped by the fact that he is both 10 years old and convinced that she's a succubus. Still, even when she's too clingy for comfort, Lucoa is very dear to him and he won't tolerate anyone treating her badly. | |

There's a similar moment in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman when the titular character rather timidly makes advances to husband Sully. When he asks why she's being so meek, she shyly admits "I was always taught. . .a woman shouldn't ask. . ." Sully assures her that not only does he not mind, in the Cheyenne culture, while women aren't exactly encouraged to make the first move, they aren't discouraged either. | |

The same trope is zigzagged with Knuckles and Rouge, shown most clearly in Sonic X. They're clearly attracted, but he acts like he hates her, and she's just flirting to antagonize him. In any case, Knuckles always puts his duty to guard the Master Emerald before anything else, so he's most likely intentionally avoiding anything romantic with anyone. | |

Daisuke of Bitter Virgin is disgusted by Kazuki's relentless pursuit of him. This is less because of her aggressiveness and more to do with her psychopathy. she's always carrying a pair of scissors around. | |

In Ed, Edd n Eddy, the Kanker Sisters seem to inspire abject terror in the Eds due to their constant romantic pursuits, though they seem to inspire non-romantic terror in pretty much everyone else. Inverted in one episode where Double D believes that if they act the same toward them, they will react similarly. It works, but Eddy's overall doubt over the plan tipped the Kankers on and turned the tables on them in the end. Nearly worked though. | |

Fruits Basket. Kyo is put off by Kagura's overly lovey-dovey, possessive nature and her hair-trigger tendency to beat him to a pulp. Their Childhood Marriage Promise was extracted at knifepoint. The manga reveals the reason for her pursuit; the abuse is Personality Powers at work. | |

Inverted in the Union society in Culpa Innata, which is built entirely on "scientific principles". It's the women who are expected to chase men, but only for the same purpose as Hollywood assumes men chase women in Real Life: sex and brief relationships. Long-term attachment is frowned upon in the Union and marriage... sorry, "nuptial agreements" are against the law. This is problematic for immigrants from so-called "rogue states" (e.g. Russia, China, India), which have more traditional values. A couple of Russian "primary sexual partners" is present in the game who were married back in Russia. Many women interviewed by the protagonist claim to have been hit on by the Russian man, only to feel disgusted. The Russian woman, in contrast to the Union women, is shown to be fairly passive and appears to be unlikely to engage in "the Chase". | |

Played for drama in Astro City, where Irene Merriweather becomes obsessed with proving her coworker Adam Peterson is actually Superman Expy Atomicus. She thought he was playfully hinting that she needed to prove herself worthy of his love, when in actuality he was a child in a man's body and too confused and frightened to express himself emotionally. She eventually drives Atomicus to leave Earth forever. | |

Megatokyo Largo and Erika's relationship is complicated. Their first encounter involved him hitting on her and her breaking his arms. This is because she thought that all he was interested in was sex. Then she becomes his gaming/computer-building student. As he proves earlier, while teaching his class, Largo takes people who pursue such knowledge very seriously and doesn't want to dishonor or disrespect Erika by letting lust or romance "distract" him. | |

It's interesting to note that Pepé Le Pew of Looney Tunes fame frequently chases any animal he perceives to be a female skunk — even if they're not — but most often he pursues a shy female cat named Penelope Pussycat. Generally, everyone runs off at the mere smell of a skunk nearby, but his overly affectionate, touchy-feely style is often another turn-off — and then sometimes the odor is the only thing keeping Penelope away. Occasionally she's turned the tables on him by not only demonstrating that she likes him at least as much as he likes her but also chasing him down to smother him in suffocating amounts of affection — and all it took was removing her sense of smell (usually by her nose getting stuffy). Pepe, meanwhile, seems to prefer being the one who gives chase, and when he finds himself as the one being pursued, he'll run just as she ran from him (he lampshades this in one cartoon: "Why is it that whenever a man is captured by a woman, all he wish to do is get away?"). Only once did he run because of an odor; at one point, Penelope — under the name Fabrette —- exposed herself to limburger cheese fumes so that no smell would be too much for her so she could be with Pepe, but by then he'd realized his own noxious smell and got it removed via perfume, and when she came back she refused to accept he couldn't stand her smell. | |

In Tales of the Abyss, this is Luke's reaction to his fiancee Natalia and "admirer" Anise. Considering one is a Royal Brat who is Loving a Shadow and rather he just regain all his memories right now (specifically of their Childhood Marriage Promise), and the other is a very flirty thirteen-year-old Gold Digger who invokes in-universe Squick from Luke through her antics, it's understandable. In regards to his Love Interest though, he implies he likes the idea of her pursuing him, though that's in part low self-esteem. | |

Friends: Rachel is attracted to a cute guy but he's not asking her out. Phoebe suggests that she simply ask him out instead, but Rachel can't do it because she has never asked anyone out in her entire life; all her relationships having been initiated by guys. So she decides it would make her sound "too desperate" and instead resorts to dropping hint after hint, trying to get the guy to chase her. During the same conversation where Phoebe advises Rachel, Joey reveals that he thinks a woman asking a guy out is a turn-on. When Phoebe proposes to Mike, they get booed by an entire baseball stadium and mocked by the announcer because she's the one proposing to him. |

Full Metal Panic!: Tessa was a gentle, weak Damsel in Distress, except her pursuit and tactics for chasing Sousuke are way too aggressive. He was scared of her, and had to constantly protect himself from being taken advantage of by her. Numerous times, she slithered out of her bed at night and tried to take advantage of him in his sleep. Unfortunately for her, it's explained that ever since the past, Sousuke has gotten SICK of aggressive admirers trying to rape him. (Gauron made it worse.) The fact that she's his commanding officer seems to have a lot to do with Sousuke's nervousness with her affections. He understands and is comfortable with the power dynamic between a commander and a subordinate, but when she tries to push a more, err, personal element into it, that drives him out of his comfort zone and into a social dimension where he does not know how to respond. On the other hand, the first girl he ever develops feelings for is a bashful Tsundere who expresses her feelings for him in the most roundabout way. Nami is similar. | |
