** PlayedWith with Tony himself. His main LoveInterests tend to be of the ActionGirl variety (including Ziva), and a psychologist pegs his type as GirlsWithGuns, which he eagerly corroborates. However, the same psychologist points out that most of his ActionGirl LoveInterests also tend to be [[BrokenBird Broken Birds]], and he is attracted to them because he thinks he can help them.

* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Wash, a [[NonActionGuy geeky pilot]] is HappilyMarried to Zoe, [[ActionGirl former career soldier]] and current first mate on ''Serenity'', despite (and [[OppositesAttract possibly because of]]) the fact that she's a gun-toting warrior who could kill him seven ways with her pinky, while the closest he's ever gotten to a firefight is having been "fired from a fry cook opportunity" Though this was soon remedied (see the charge to save Mal in “War Stories) and he was no slouch.

Ron is an ardent admirer of strong women, which has led him into two marriages with women who were not only strong, but also manipulative, domineering and abusive. Ron eventually settles down with the equally strong-willed and no-nonsense but emotionally functioning and kind-hearted Diane. [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Lucy Lawless]] again.

** Riley Finn likes the fact that Buffy is strong, decisive and good in a fight; no doubt seeing them as a potential BattleCouple. Unfortunately, Riley serves as a Deconstruction of what happens when a normal guy chases after an Amazon with the goal of keeping up with her. Not only does Riley slow Buffy down, but the constant failure eats away at his self-esteem and almost kills him. Ultimately, Riley is incapable of acting as Buffy's support and she is unwilling to even discuss their problems, leaving him to end their relationship. In the next season, Riley has finally found happiness in a more equal relationship with a non-powered special forces ActionGirl. He and his new wife are a picture perfect BattleCouple.
** Spike is this for Drusilla, Slayers in general and Buffy in particular - it's not a stretch to say he's only interested in women who can (and do) kick his ass. Outright stated in the ''After the Fall'' comics.

BattleCouple, and, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments he apparently still gushes over Buffy in admiration]] and gives her a well-timed YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech when she was near her lowest.
** Spike is this for Drusilla, Slayers in general and Buffy in particular - it's not a stretch to say he's only interested in women who can (and do) kick his ass. As Buffy muses, she beats him up a lot, which, for [[CombatSadoMasochist Spike]], is like 3rd Base. Outright stated in the ''After the Fall'' comics.

Deconstructed, [[spoiler:after he is revealed to be Sauron, when everything gains a darker connotation. He wanted Galadriel by his side as his Queen to rule Middle-earth together for her evil potential]].
