Line #4 PlayingWith/VirginityMakesYouStupid


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character who is virginal and stupid. Usually a NaiveEverygirl or an UnluckyEverydude, and sometimes a PuritySue.
2	* '''Straight''': [[NaiveEverygirl Virginia]] may have VirginPower, and she may be [[NiceGuy sweet]] and [[TheBeautifulElite beautiful]], but she is often handed the IdiotBall.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': [[BrainlessBeauty Virginia]] is TooDumbToLive.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Virginia is implied to be a virgin and has somewhat below-average intelligence.
5	* '''Justified''': Virginia has led a sheltered existence, either as an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent in {{Suburbia}} or as a BarrierMaiden locked away in a temple, and thus is rather naive.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** Virginia is a virgin, but she's highly intelligent and WiseBeyondHerYears, and portrayed as [[MarySue perfect, or darn near perfect]]. She may even serve as a MagicalGirlfriend or TeamMom.
8	** Virginia's a virgin because she's always been unlucky at love, leaving her jaded, bitter, and cynical. She's also quite possibly too smart for her own good.
9	** Virginia has had dozens of lovers, and is [[TheBrainlessBeauty dumb as a post]].
10	** Virginia is promiscuous and smart.
11	** Virginia has a lot of sex and is not dumb, but naive.
12	* '''Subverted''':
13	** Virginia [[NoodleIncident made a mistake]] but she learned from it.
14	** Virginia is ObfuscatingStupidity.
15	** Virginia was too dumb to realize she wasn't actually a virgin.

17	* '''Parodied''': Virginia is ChaoticStupid.
18	* '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes Virginia holds the IdiotBall, sometimes she holds the SmartBall.
19	* '''Averted''':
20	** Virginia [[NerdsAreVirgins is a virgin, but she's also very smart]].
21	** Virginia is portrayed as neither overly smart or overly stupid, just a generic human being (who happens to be a virgin).
22	* '''Enforced''': SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids.
23	* '''Lampshaded''':
24	** "Now, I know you've never done this before, but..."
25	** "Why should I listen to you? You're a virgin who can't drive!"
26	* '''Invoked''': ???
27	* '''Exploited''': The BigBad hears about Virginia's VirginPower, and immediately pegs her as a NaiveEverygirl whom he (or his minions) can easily seduce, thus causing her to lose her power and her status.
28	* '''Defied''':
29	** Virginia is very GenreSavvy, and learns her role quickly. It's sink or swim, after all.
30	** After find out that Virginia "[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 isn't the sharpest knife in the place where they keep the knives]]", her mentor starts teaching her useful knowledge, both academic and world-savvy, so that she becomes a cultured and wise person.
31	* '''Discussed''': ???
32	* '''Conversed''': ???
33	* '''Deconstructed''': Virginia doesn't mean to be stupid. In fact, she's not stupid, just naïve due to a sheltered environment or some kind of duty that involved SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining. Being outside this environment or duty makes her nervous and/or IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance, and thus the stupid mistakes.
34	* '''Reconstructed''': Virginia knows how to handle herself when outside of her comfort zone but is still ObliviousToLove or innuendo.
35	* '''Played For Laughs''': The wielder of the VirginPower is male, and tries (and fails) desperately to prove his manhood, even at the cost of his powers. Hilarity ensues.
