You are completely heterosexual, you are very much attracted to the opposite sex and you certainly aren't gay. But, y'know, there are some examples of the same sex who you can't help but admire. You can appreciate good looks and a sexy body regardless of gender. If taken far enough you just might say something that sounds wrong even in context. Indignation usually follows. The term "GAR" (always in capitals) is used to describe a male character who induces this through sheer badassery. Compare Dude Looks Like a Lady, Gay Moment, Even the Guys Want Him. Examples of Stupid Sexy Flanders include:

  • You are completely heterosexual, you are very much attracted to the opposite sex and you certainly aren't gay. But, y'know, there are some examples of the same sex who you can't help but admire. You can appreciate good looks and a sexy body regardless of gender. If taken far enough you just might say something that sounds wrong even in context. Indignation usually follows. This often doesn't mean anything significant regarding your overall sexual orientation, though often you are just as caught off guard as the people around you. When applied to specific individuals who tend to provoke this response to people in general, see Even the Guys Want Him and Even the Girls Want Her. If done enough times as a Running Gag, writers actually planning to out a character later can use this as Foreshadowing. In some of these cases, this may be caused by a Closet Key. If it's taken seriously but isn't a set up for a reveal about the character's sexuality, it can sometimes lead to ~If It's You, It's Okay~. Nearly all Wholesome Crossdressers, and many Bifauxnen are subject to this gag at least once. (The "It's a Trap" internet meme is often used to refer to characters who cause this trope in audience members.) Occasionally, the "victim" is given peace of mind by discovering their totally platonic (really!) crush is really Sweet Polly Oliver. This is Truth in Television, with women being much more open about it. Quite frankly, if a guy were to say something like that to another, more often than not, the response would be, "What are you, gay?" However, gay men are generally more likely than lesbians to joke about who they would switch teams for. Trope Namer (and the picture above) comes from one of Homer Simpson's quotes from The Simpsons. While he's attempting to recall his skiing lessons, his mind shifts to a skin-tight ski suit-wearing Ned Flanders moments prior, who waggles his buttocks while exclaiming the suit makes it feel like he's "wearing nothing at all". Cue Squick from Homer and the trope invoked. The term "GAR" (always in capitals) is used to describe a male character who induces this through sheer badassery.
