Exactly What It Says on the Tin. This trope is behind the stereotrope that any given girl would prefer to date the captain of the football team instead of the captain of the chess team. The former is bigger, broader, and more physically fit. Back in the day, this is the kind of guy that would spear boars or kill bandits, i.e. a more practical husband. This is no longer the case in many societies but the distinction remains. Note that this does not mean specifically stronger than the woman in question (which is another related trope) but strong, period. In turn, even a weak woman isn't going to be impressed by a guy merely stronger than her; he has to be fairly strong as far as guys go, too. Thus the strongest man in the room is the most attractive. Even works applying this assumption may still portray women as befriending weak guys and consider them "cute" in a very literal sense of the word but it will still present an in-universe obstacle to weak guys looking for a date. Compare All Amazons Want Hercules, where the (Amazonian) woman would only settle for a man who is stronger than her, All Girls Want Bad Boys, where a "bad" personality could be equated with strength by way of aggression, which attracts her, and Emasculated Cuckold, where a man's weakness is highlighted by his partner leaving him for someone else. Contrast Weakness Turns Her On and the genderflip, Amazon Chaser, where a guy is attracted to girls who are good at fighting (strong girls are properly Amazonian Beauty). This can be but isn't always Truth in Television, since Real Life attraction is of course usually more complex than just one factor. |

Averted in Megamind; while talking to Roxanne in his Bernard disguise, Megamind assumed (like everyone else in-universe) that she and Metro Man were an item, only to be surprised when he learns that the latter is not her type. She ultimately falls for "Bernard" instead. | |

Othello managed to attract Desdemona at least partially due to this. They met when Othello was visiting Desdemona's dad, and recounted tales of his adventures and exploits all over the world. Desdemona wasn't part of the conversation, but Othello kept catching her hanging around and eavesdropping, so he finally offered to sit down and tell her the story directly. Desdemona was completely fascinated, and fell in love with him. | |

In the Tom and Jerry episode Muscle Beach Tom (another Beach Episode example), Tom and Butch try to out-do each other with feats of strength in order to impress a female cat. After Butch defeats Tom, Tom, still determined, fills his bathing suit up with balloons to look muscular, tying an anchor around his waist to keep from floating away. Tom knocks out Butch and wins his girlfriend back, but things go horribly wrong for Tom when he crosses Jerry again, and Tom is sent floating away into the sky. | |

In the Louie episode "Bully," the middle-aged Louie is on a date with a middle-aged woman. It goes well until a teenager whom Louie asked to quiet down comes over and threatens to beat Louie up. Louie backs down and his date explains in a brutally honest fashion that while she understands intellectually that Louie made the sensible, adult choice, at some gut level for her he's simply not a sexual or romantic prospect anymore because he wasn't "strong." Louie makes the all-too-common mistake of attempting to shame her into being sexually attracted to him, which backfires, and the date ends awkwardly. | |

Karol, who is still prepubescent, Oblivious to Love, and not the sharpest knife in the drawer on top of all that, is confused then as to why Nan would challenge him. Trigger Tsundere reaction from Nan. | |

In Cold Days, Harry...attracts... several Winter fae of the female persuasion after he kills someone. This trope also influences Winter's hierarchy. The court's strongest note mortal warrior is declared the Queens' consort, and obligated to 'serve' them. This is because the Winter Court is essentially a self-sustaining army: each successive generation must be protected from the Outsiders...and strong enough to eventually protect their own children. |

Galaxy Angel: Forte Stollen is a non-physical variant of the trope, since she makes it clear that her ideal man is someone of strong convictions whom she can trust to watch her back in battle. On her route, she works hard to shape Tact up into that image, and by the third game, she's pretty delighted when he forcefully carries her to the infirmary when she's not heeding his advice to take things easy and rest. | |

In The Big Bang Theory, all of Penny's ex-boyfriends are dumb, muscular guys. Then inverted, when she falls for Leonard, they become an item, and she finds it very hard to go back to dating such idiots. It should be noted, however, that she didn't really lose the attraction towards physical strength and beauty but rather that those traits seem to be mutually exclusive with intelligence in this universe. | |

In Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a 1990s adaption of the Marvel comic series, this is partly the reason why Mary Jane ends her engagement to Harry Osborn, her "rebound guy" after breaking up with Peter Parker. In the "Ultimate Slayer" episode, when she and Harry are kidnapped and imprisoned in a cell with guards outside, Harry acts all meek and afraid, rather than being confident and brave for himself and his fiance. Mary Jane eventually gets fed up. Later, after Spider-Man comes in and rescues them, Mary Jane breaks up with Harry and gives him back the engagement ring, later telling Spider-Man that "back there I suddenly realized that even though I was really scared and concerned for Harry, it was as if I was worried about a little brother. Don't get me wrong, I love him, but it's not the kind of love I should have for a future husband." She also says that she has realized she is in love with someone else (Peter). |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: While she primarily loves him because of his kindness, Kaguya is very attracted to Shirogane's glare, and when he loses it she complains that he looks weak. She also gushes about how proactive and assertive he is. Flashbacks show that she didn't even acknowledge his existence until he challenged her to a contest to see who could get high scores on the end-of-semester exams. Discussed in chapter 166 when Ishigami goes to Kazeno for advice on how to attract his crush Tsubame. Kazeno's response is to tell him that he needs to bulk up to make himself more confident, and gives him a copy of his personal workout routine. Then again, the end of that very same chapter revealed that Kazeno's girlfriend Osaragi broke up with him in part because she found his working out to be gross (or so she claimed). |

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Female pedestrians will often compliment CJ if he is muscular, with many of the compliments reading heavily as flirting. It's mostly averted in the case of CJ's potential girlfriends, however; Denise doesn't care about his appearance, Helena will only date him if he is skinny, and Michelle and Barbara will only date him if he is fat. The only two girlfriends that prefer CJ to be muscular are Katie and Millie. | |

Ménage à 3: Maura really likes muscular men, so much so that she became a professional wrestler pretty much just because she thought the guy who owns the wrestling school was hot (and the same seems to be true of nearly every woman at the school). When fellow female wrestler Lynn flirts with her, she initially claims Incompatible Orientation because of this... only for Lynn to point out that she is rather muscular and masculine herself, flexing her arms and showing off her toned ass. Maura has no rebuttal. | |

The pictured example from Toy Story 3 is more of a parodical example. | |

Maken-ki!: Any display of power, be it from a man or woman, will sexually arouse Espada; provided it's strong enough to rival her own. First seen in chapter 70, when Ceilia's sudden outburst of Element caused Espada to tremble with excitement and start dripping from it. While in chapter 79, taking a full-powered kick from Azuki's newly evolved Maken drew blood from Espada, which caused her to blush as she visibly soaked her panties. | |

So, I Can't Play H!: Heavily implied in regard to Lisara. Usually, whenever Ryosuke tries anything perverted with her, she stomps him for it. But in episode 4, when he forcibly transfers a massive surge of his ero-energy to her by thrusting his pelvis directly against her face, she becomes visibly aroused by it and submits. | |

Possible with Bulma in Dragon Ball; it would explain her falling for Vegeta, a warrior villain, in Dragon Ball Z. He is in a different league than her previous boyfriend, Yamcha, a much lower threat. | |

My Bride is a Mermaid has the male protagonist, Nagasumi, in one episode, affected by a charm that makes him look like each girl's ideal man. For example, the titular mermaid bride, Sun, seems to have a thing for bad boys or manly men, since he looks like a Jotaro Kujo expy to her. | |

Teasing Master Takagi-san: Several of Takagi's schemes involve the overall physical fitness of Nishikata, such as strength and agility. Because the fitness system for boys uses higher standards than girls, he has to strive for a higher percentile rank to beat her scorecard. This ultimately makes him one of the fittest boys in her class: he averages at least 7 to 8 points on a national 10 point scale for his age range (and claims he can score the maximum 10 on grip strength). In the Time Skip spin-off manga where the two are married, Nishikata has apparently taken up a job as a PE teacher and has a muscular physique. | |

In Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, Iris is attracted to Ash partly because of how strong he is. Justified, because she was raised by Dragon-type Pokémon, and strength is something very desirable in the wild. | |

The Story of Apollo, Daphne and Luca: An Italian Tragedy, Sofia immediately develops a crush on Alberto because of his bold, confident and adventurous personality and the fact that he works as both a fisherman and a lifeguard (who are are quite difficult jobs that require a lot of energy and effort). | |

Friends: Inverted with Monica when her boyfriend Pete trains to become the Ultimate Fighting Champion (he doesn't do a good job, but is still a lot stronger than before). Monica hates seeing him hurt, and prefers him when was sweet and geeky. They eventually break up because of it. A similar case happened with her husband Chandler. When he and Ross are armwrestling, Monica says she loves his sensitivity and kindness not strength. From his end, he happily admits that she is freakishly strong and could kick his ass. This trope is also mentioned by Ross in the same episode, as he feared Mona wouldn't find him attractive if he was unable to beat Chandler in an armwrestling competition. |

Twice in Octopath Traveler: A side quest involves a woman named Mathilda being pursued by a Dogged Nice Guy named Tony, and she refuses to want anything to do with him until he can prove his worth to her. If you have Olberic Challenge Tony to a duel (which will surprisingly end in Tony's favor unless you've done a lot of Level Grinding beforehand, or can regularly break his guard before he can use Exploit Weakness on you), then Mathilda will be so moved by Tony's courage that she accepts his proposal. In party banter, Primrose asks H'aanit what she looks for in a man. After a bit of sputtering, H'aanit says she'd want a strong man — one stronger than her. Primrose mutters that will be difficult to find. |

Zulaya in Dragonseye is like this. An early hint is when we find out that her current mate, K'vin, being taller than she is appeals to her. Later, when he's irate over another rider's misbehavior, she makes it very clear how much she appreciates him taking charge, even taking command over her, despite being significantly younger. | |
