UnwantedHarem
#135543
This troper's best Friends have this. their twins(male) and they have the oddest way of attracting random girls. walking through a church out of nowhere a group of girls start playing with their hair and pawing at them. All the wile not one is paying attention to me. at the end I asked "why does that never happen to me?".
#135544
This female troper... with a group of girls. For some strange reason that this troper has absolutely no idea why anyone would think that that isn't at all related to several incidents, many peple think this (straight) troper is a lesbian. With a lack of lesbians at school, the few that exist are after her now, having dated each other. Yeah, it's a bit weird...
#135545
You mean
even the girls want you? What's your secret? You sound CursedWithAwesome to me, because EvenTheGirlsWantHer=
sexiness/
glamour/
coolness gone UpToEleven. Either that or you're a {{Bifauxnen}}, but looking like a pretty boy would be cool too.
#135546
Same thing happened to this troper at a younger age. I was mistaken for a boy a few times back at my school (note this was a All-Girls school) then as I grew older, I accidently attracted the attention of a few obivously straight girls in my year. Wierdly I made a some-what ugly girl but a pretty guy.
#135547
This tropette is this trope in an odd way. She once had about 3 guys crush on her, but they were just friends. I kept saying no, and they said they'd wait. *sigh* But thankfully they got over it...I hope. The weird example however, is that her friends like to joke around that she is their woman. She has about 4 or 5 friends that have made their claim on her and they routinely fight. Of course this tropette is aware they are joking, but one of her friends knows how much I dislike to be touched and intentionally tries to grope me. Which then causes the others to be angry. All this is making her feel extremely guy-like, and depressed. >_>
#135548
This troper had this happen to him at least twice, in summer camp and in high school (and possibly once in middle school as well). Subverted in that he's pretty convinced they were only chasing him to mock him.
#135549
Yeah, that happened to me too. It was so annoying because I ''wanted'' it to be true, but knew it probably wasn't (though I never did find out- stupid gutlessness...).
#135550
This one, on the other hand, didn't want it at all. In retrospect, that might've caused it in the first place. For that matter, they also ran the gamut of related tropes... If only he'd been a troper then.
#135551
Same with second and thrid Tropers, she has a fact one to make fun of her due to being a soial outcast in her school.
#135552
Ditto with this troper; though he managed to befriend them by playing along with it.
#135553
This troper had as many as five girls interested in him at school - three of them highly attractive, and one of those a bisexual - but he didn't fancy any of them all that much. He also didn't even notice this until years afterwards.
#135554
MissedMomentOfAwesome much?
#135555
This troper had two girls ask him to take them to the senior prom. Not sure if that works though, as they weren't really vying for my attention, they were just friends who wanted to go to the prom and didn't have dates yet.
#135556
This troper's younger brother has had this problem, although it's more of a hero-worship thing than an "OMG I want to date him" thing. Being as he is the star of his age group in swim team, he's gained a small herd of followers (who irritate him to no end).
#135557
This troper when he was in high school had this. There were several females at the martial arts school who had the hots for me. The problem with this? Well most of the girls were roughly 12 and 13 and when this happen I was about 17 years old. Yea not happening. Needless to say he ran into one of those girls years laster when she turned 17 and damn she got pretty.
#135558
The same thing happened to me (except for meeting them years later): When I was 12 I was a member of an Unwanted Harem of a 18-year-old guy. Now, that I`m 16 I have my very own gang of 11- to 13-year-old boys, who are drooling over me. But I guess I`m lucky: they`re quite decent. Most of the time they`re just trying to catch brief glimpses of me without attracting attention. They attract pretty much attention, but at least they try...
#135559
This troper had this in sixth grade. With a bunch of eighth grade girls. They called me "Hercules." Even now, I don't know what they found so attractive.
#135560
If I had to guess, I'd assume it was physical strength, judging by the nickname they gave you.
#135561
This troper currently has a boyfriend...and two girls that like me, possibly three.
#135562
This (bi, female) troper started out with a girlfriend...and currently has three bishonen guys who she's not sure what relationship status they consider her, but gets frequent declarations of love from and is involved with...(the girlfriend seems to find this whole thing amusing) Nevermind that if she thinks about being in a relationship with a guy too hard she'll sort of sit in a corner and whimper...I mean I love them all, but I really would've been fine with just the girl...I really don't know how this happened...
#135563
This troper, mostly by virtue of being a fairly attractive gamer girl. Many more people think that's hot than you'd expect.
#135564
Have you not ''read'' this site, above troper? Geekiness is hot. Full stop.
#135565
This troper's guy friend is going through this and this just started last year. All of a sudden, random girls kept coming up to him and tried to befriend him or kept calling him, "best friend" for no reason. Some of them were basically girls that just flirt with certain guys to piss whatever girl was closest to them (and boy did it work on me). It seems that he really doesn't care for any of those other girls. Also, at the residential camp this troper went to recently, this girl that I quickly became friends with, went through this. Two of the guys at the camp crushed on her and were just obsessed about it. She couldn't stand any of it.
#135566
This troper had one back at his old school. Two young, plain looking, overweight, goofy brunette girls who would always giggle around him and make him sit with them. However, towards the end of the year, he grew fond of them, and somewhat misses them now...* Sighs*
#135567
This troper currently has this going on for him. He knows at least about 1 girl in his circle of (entirely female) friends has had a crush on him before(And another that he suspects might have a crush on him, though various hint-dropping.) He's also met four females on Skype, all of whom either flirt or fluster him on a regular basis and seem to slip into what this troper likes to call 'Rena Mode' on him. One these involved somehow charming a woman over in less than a ''day''. And ''then'' there was the time this troper accidentally got roped into roleplaying with a mother from Sweden who was..
well... Overlaps into EvenTheGuysWantHim, due to a few of this troper's male friends reacting in that manner. One of this troper friend's attributed this to this troper's lanky frame, messy hair, kind, easily-flustered, nice guy personality, and what he called ''soul-stealing blue eyes''. This troper would like to note that this has only happened in the span of about a year, and wasn't even looked at like that otherwise, prior.
#135568
You have to be someone that I know! Are you perchance six feet or taller?
#135569
This Troper had six girls crushing on him, four of them actively pursuing him and asking him out even, all during the same year of his life. Unfortunately what they took for sensitivity was simply me not sexualizing them whatsoever because this Troper is gay yet was closeted during this year. As one can guess none of the pairings happened in the end, even though other friends, siblings, and even parents were shipping them.
#135570
This Troper was part of one. As a student, and then a teacher, of a foreign languages, she attented classes where the female-to-male ratio varied between 6-to-1 and 10-to-1. Needless to say, the rate of celibacy was lower among the male students than among the females.
#135571
This (female, somewhat closeted bisexual/not entirely straight/something) Troper had an unwanted harem of all but one her closest friends-- was molested by her ex-
heterosexual life partner, asked out by said lifepartner's boyfriend while they were still dating, was told recently by another friend that she was trying to get with this troper all junior year, and has the feeling that her BlackBestFriend wouldn't exactly be opposed to going out... The most upsetting part is that the only friend who this troper really does like doesn't seem interested.
Though it is odd that we call each other husband and wife. But this troper doesn't want to to get her hopes up by thinking that it's not so much a joke as a cover...
#135572
One day in eighth grade, all the girls in my grade came over to my table and said they were my friends now. One of them gave me her box of Cheez-its. Within a year or so, I realized that for most of them, this was just their scheme to get me as their pet to sic on the other guys, all of whom avoided me like the plague and would often run away from me in semi-serious fear to avoid accidentally making any kind of physical contact.
#135573
Poor kid at my school is bugged by me and my friends. We poke him. And just generally bug him. Plus, he has now earned the nickname of Princess. Like, last quarter, one teacher actually called him Princess Kwon Kwon.
#135574
In freshman year, one of this troper's friends (a {{Meganekko}} {{Bifauxnen}} with a knack for guitar and
minimal chaos) ended up with one of these; it was composed of a {{Manipulative Bastard}}, a
crazy smart guy, and a couple of {{Tsundere}}s, one of which was the troper herself. And there was also the troper's
fanclub, a bunch of male and
female classmates who would (jokingly) profess their love to the friend on a daily basis. This all reached a point where the {{Manipulative Bastard}} would regularly run over to hold the friend's hand, the other {{Tsundere}} lugged around a sign reading "I love you [friend]!", and this troper and the
crazy smart guy got into a bit of a
fight over the friend.
#135575
This Troper (probably a Type B male {{Tsundere}}) seems to have this going on. Between the girls who constantly hit on and flirt with him, the Type A Tsundere girl I hang out with regularly, the
geek girl, and the semi-stalker
gay option, my life is practically a romantic comedy at times.
#135576
This troper emphasizes the word "Unwanted". I despise having relationship with females,
being fearful that it would ruin my TV Tropes and Internet life, yet in my own house only two of us were male (Me and my father) while the rest who lives are female, from a relative Tsundere who has a MoeMoe sister to three maids from the Philippines, and it's even worse in school, where some girls are attracted to me (including Koreans), yet I do nothing but reject them and speak openly and shamelessly against females, romantic relationships and marriage like I was a
hammy NietzscheWannabe. I don't know, I look like a stereotypical geek and I don't want any females near me because of my usually Troper, Tsundere, Otaku and Nietzsche Wannabe attitudes, which I fear is harmful to others, but maybe the reason I have an Unwanted Harem is because
I am one of the school nerds who almost always end up being beaten, bullied, harassed and mind raped by the jocks.
#135577
This troper has to live in one daily as a good majority of her friend's group consists of skirt-chasing guys and lesibeans with no sense of personal space. Despite what others may think, it is most unwanted and this troper does not want, especially when she's referred to as the cute one and then smothered in their affection or thrown over a shoulder and 'kidnapped.'
#135578
This 9th-grade Troper thinks they're messing with me, but I seem to be fancied by 10th-graders and black girls. Unfortunately, the 10th grader is perverted and unatractive. I was playing basketball with my friends in gym class and she yells, "Take your shirt off!" I didn't try to let her down easy. A girl in my math class, though having a nice enough personallity towards me, did a lot of things against my values. She often would sit by me and smile at me. As for the black girls, whoo-boy. This might be wanted, except that I can't tell if they really like me, are messing around, or just very friendly. One says hi to me wheverever she can and puts an emphasis on my name, a few randomly sit by me at lunch and ask me random questions, and one particulary attractive girl tried to hug me. I refused because of my antisocail attitude an, well, I don't think I was wearing blue jeans that day.
#135579
Not sure if this counts, but after years of being ignored by the opposite sex,
This Troper suddenly found that three of her male friends were obviously interested in dating her. It was...jarring, to say the least, not to mention a little frustrating since she had just moved a hundred miles away from the one interested male that she would have considered dating.
#135580
Inverted by this Troper, who would ''love'' such a situation, but girls completely unrequire his feelings. I even wonder what's bad about having girls chasing after him.... Yes, I would swap with everybody here, why do you ask?
#135581
Join the club. I'll get you a jacket and a nametag.
#135582
This Troper has it somewhere between subverted and reconstructed, going by the Played With thing on this page. I have a great many female friends, (almost) none of whom are romantically or sexually interested in me, which I know because I've asked. In each case, they either gave a polite no or a polite "not anymore." Still, they're all good friends who I am happy to have as friends. HilarityEnsues when attempting to convince almost anyone who sees me with one of them (or anyone who's seen me with several of them) that ShesNotMyGirlfriend. Yeah, I'm a ChivalrousPervert. Also, most of them aren't friends with any of the others.
#135583
This (male) troper just realised his life is slowly becoming one. He has his girlfriend, then his three closest friends happen to be girls (one of which seems to be crushing on him already...), and a girl who's name I don't know (she has approached me three times, once to ask me to a dance). This troper, in summary, isn't sure to be happy or otherwise.
#135584
I was an UnluckyEverydude... until the month before I moved to a different city at which point I suddenly acquired one of these. FUCK.
#135585
This Troper was a major aversion. In 8th Grade, he sat at a lunch table with him as the only boy. He just sat there. Eleven girls around him. However, none of them had any interest in him. At all. Although they were very comfortable around him, once spending an entire recess period speaking of Milkshakes. Not the kind you drink. Its a wonder he didn't change where he was sitting after that.
#135586
This troper isn't sure if he's ever had any "UnwantedHarem" but a few moments in middle school, wherein he was around a few girls at a time who wanted to talk to him (again, not necessarily a matter of attraction, could be about friendship, etc...) could easily be mistaken for it. The problem with this concept is that it's hard to tell whether it's actually a matter of attraction or not.
#135587
This troper is part of a fencing club that has members of all ages and abilities. A few of the younger girls, this troper included, decided to embarrass one of the internationally-ranked men in the club by pretending to be this trope (oddly enough, no one had a problem with 3 underage girls were fawning over a 50+ year old man). This snowballed to include all the other members of the club, the instructor included, and even eventually members of other local clubs. One notable instance was when he walked in late to a tournament, only to have nearly everyone, even the guys, stop for a moment to admiringly coo his name. He also reportedly had a panic attack while at a tournament in Russia when two young girls asked for his autograph; he thought the "fan club" was spreading beyond just our local area. Lucky for him though, the girls were just asking for the autographs of all the fencers at the event.
#135588
I applaud you for this.
#135590
This overweight, glasses-wearing
Kavorka Kid was in gym class in junior high when we had to invent a dance routine. While I was deciding what group I wanted to be in, Half the girls in the class surrounded me and declared I was in theirs. To this day, I'm still popular with girls and I'm not really sure why (there's also the fact that I now have a girlfriend, and having girls who seem to fawn over me makes both of us kind of uncomfortable.)
#135591
This female troper really can't figure out how it happened: In junior high I was merely a wallflower, but the second I started high school I got two boys of my own age, one senior student, and
one bisexual female student onto my heels and needless to say, I'm not interested in any of them...though I like the attention I'm getting.
#135592
Me when I got a girlfriend. Suddenly, everyone realized that I'm NOT totally hopeless with women, even though it took me until the beginning of my senior year in high school to get a girl, and I became much more attractive. Of course, I hardly wanted to dump Kelly just because two bisexual nymphomaniacs and my super-hot best friend are trying to bang me. So over a year later, Kelly and I are still together. I'm an idiot, right?
#135593
Not really.
First girl won. (As a side note, all you people are lucky, lucky bastards.)
#135594
I finally have me a girlfriend...then it turns out she isn't over her ex. ok, so we quietly break up. No big deal. A few weeks later I get a crush on one of her friends who was mine as well. She wanted to tell me a secret that she liked someone. Who was it? my former girlfriends ex as well. I then talked with another girl who was my friend and she too said she had a crush on him. The guy in question is heavily monotone and doesn't want to be touched at all. Hugs, kisses, you name it. He does however recite shakespeare and has the voice of a less
whinny shinji ikari so Its not totally uncalled for.
#135595
This troper is a slight subversion in that he was friends with a guy who had one, and the
entire school recognised this. Even though one of their group was definatly his girlfriend. And he still went to me for advice when he was having trouble with that relationship, even though I have absolutley no experiance in the
field of girlfriends, mostly because he saw me being friendly with all the other girls in his harem and automatically assumed I was good with that sort of thing. Everyone else,
considered this not so much.
#135596
This troper has a group of girls that constantly ask for hugs from him, even getting
glomped from time to time. This was very awkward at first, but I don't mind anymore. Kind of subverted in the fact that none of them are interested in me as far as I know. Of course,
this isn't saying much.
#135597
I had some sort of thing in which whenever I started to befriend or (even worse) begin to fancy a certain guy, they suddenly were in the middle of an UnwantedHarem. It wasn't really HaremNanny since I was an active participant in a few of the cases (in one I was the TakeAThirdOption since I never expressed any interest outwardly) but it was more like...well it was either a Harem Launcher or a case of having some horrible friends in high school who didn't want me happy in love.
#135598
Playing with the trope over here. I like to be part of the harem and round it off. I can be the funny one, the quiet one, the letch, the sporty one, or even the nanny. Of course, I'm never in just one at a time so people who know me don't take my participation very seriously. Of course, I do often drop out when the harem reaches its critical mass and my efforts are best turned elsewhere (four of us is way better than three but five isn't much better than four. Of course, one must take the levels of commitment into account. The more committed the other harem blokes are, the shorter I'll be around). I've never won but it's not as thought I want to. For those of you who are going to get on my case for toying with people's emotions, I think that having a skillful "harem tiller" can actually make things more exciting and fun for all involved. The competition also causes the more determined guys to... shit, I just realized, as I was writing this, that I am a Paolo. Damnit.
#135599
This troper had a friend in high school who had the BIGGEST.
FUCKING. HAREM. she's ever seen. He was extremely good-looking, played five musical instruments and was overall funny and charming. Random women stopped in the middle of the street to compliment his appearance. When going to a club, he spent the entire night fending off girls. Seriously, I've seen it. A friend of this troper claims to have developed an eating disorder so he would notice her. He had a fan club of thirteen-year-olds following him around and taking pictures of him to drool over them during classes. (He was eighteen at that time.) They also baked him cookies and begged him for hugs. And this troper admits that she was madly in love with him as well. The kicker?
eventually came out as gay.
#135601
This Troper moved to a rural area in North Wales during her last year of primary school (so about 11 years old). It was an English speaking school since it was close to an Royal Air Force base and the English children could go there. However, my brother and I were the only ones on the base old enough or young enough to attend the school, and so I was the only English girl. It was a small class and I found out that the majority of the boys had a crush on me, mainly because I was English, and a few younger girls (probably only about 9 or 10 years old) had told me they wanted to marry me. It was all pretty adorable. :3
#135602
I've had usually had atleast three girls and their little sisters having a crush on me at any given moment since middle school.
Which sort of sucks.
#135603
One of this troper's friends looks a bit like Robert Pattinson. ...Yeah. He seems mostly embarrassed by the throngs of girls that used to follow him around in high school, and gets annoyed when anyone brings it up. Strangely enough, though most agree they're both handsome, nobody ever says that his ''twin brother'' looks like Pattinson.
#135604
Let's just say this Troper will be asking his brother for help when said brother gets back from Afghanistan... I just HAD to have that quality that attracts every good looking girl in a twelve mile radius... ;~;
#135605
At several points during High School, girls would come up to me and ask me about myself. I didn't get it, and often wondered why I didn't get any dates. Several years later, someone told me I was attractive, and
then the lightbulb went on.
#135606
Nothing romantic related at all, but when i was 12, i had four girls often follow me around during lunch period and watch me play sport. They usually just talked, but often gave shouts of encouragement. It never sounded sarcastic, but i had no idea what their actual motive for this was. They weren't the popular girls or the vindictive type and never showed any romantic attention. They were pretty cool chicks from my point of view, but yeah, it was just odd. And annoying because the others who i played sports with had to deal with them cheering for me (not them).
#135607
This female troper. She a short, awkward, shy and geeky girl (often getting comments on how my hair and other aspects of me makes me look like a doll), but men always show interest in her, much to her Squick, since she looks like a pre-teen, ignoring the fact that she's 18. Back in highschool some girls told her that a guy in her class was interested in me, I made pretty clear that I hated all the guys from my highschool to them, although I think they were just trying to piss me off. Even now, it seems that I'm starting to get attention in the
anime cons, as some guys guys are too kind with me, adding that recently one friend girl likes to and it's getting a habit of
fluster her with FFVII yaoi (her
guilty pleasure, kinda), as I get
flustered kinda easily. She says I'm moe.
#135608
In the most unlikely of ways, this troper has a non-romantic variation of an unwanted harem. This troper is seen as a MemeticSexGod or a MemeticBadass, which came out of nowhere (sure, he knocked out his own
fat black-belt ninja best friend, but it was a total lucky shot and accident. He's also a comedian and a relatively good dancer). He is a CloudCuckoolander, has failed in every attempt to get a girlfriend (save one instance, which ended badly) and is not very attractive, to say the least. Despite all that, this troper is often surrounded by girls (who are not romantically interested in me in the slightest) during school dances, and it often gets irritating. So much so he physically pushes away some of the girls for some breathing room. -
