** Ken and Miyako/Yolei of "DigimonAdventure02" [[YourMileageMayVary might count]] though it might depend on whether or not Ken retains the [[ChildProdigy kid genius]] traits he had as the Digimon Emperor

** This is also very frequently [[LampShading lampshaded]] by everyone (including her ''[[GeniusLoci castle]]'') commenting on how well they would [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean fit together]], much to their annoyance.

* KimPossible and her genius brothers are the result of a union between a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon.

* Often the case without government interference in real life. People tend to partner others of similar intelligence, in much the same way that they partner those of similar levels of attractiveness. While this is supported by most of the research done on the subject, it is still a [[YMMV sweeping generalization, exceptions apply, etc.]]

* Often the case without government interference in real life. People tend to be attracted to others of similar intelligence, since smart people tend to become infuriated with people who are even just of average intelligence and people with average intelligence tend to feel patronized by people of higher intelligence. Oftentimes relationships with a strong discrepency in level of intelligence don't last long due to feelings of inferiority/superiority. If they do, they're rarely healthy.

* {{Firefly}} has the [[TheMedic genius doctor]] Simon and the [[WrenchWench genius mechanic]] Kaylee. Though [[WillTheyOrWontThey they won't]]... until TheMovie, that is (the EPILOGUE of the movie, no less).

* In ''DoctorWho'', Rattigan explains his master plan for a new world to the other {{Teen Genius}}es he'd collected, and mentions that he's written up a breeding program. They are appropriately appalled.

* inverted in Bakuman, where Takagi refuses Iwase due to the fact she wont let him write manga, instead he picks Miyoshi because she promises to support him.

* Florence and Winston are easily the smartest characters in ''FreeFall,'' and they've shown strong attraction for each other since their first meeting. However, due to the [[WebcomicTime glacial pace]] of the comic, it's unlikely the story will progress far enough for them to get anywhere.

If a show features two [[TVGenius geniuses]] of similar age and opposite sex/compatible sexual orientation, chances are they'll end up together. Works particularly well if they're {{Teen Genius}}es. An in-universe invocation of the GeekyTurnOn.

It's common for such relationships to start cleanly and quickly, avoiding WillTheyOrWontThey altogether, and proceed somewhat more smoothly than whatever other characters may be in a relationship, thus often turning them into a BetaCouple. Apparently, love ''doesn't'' make a genius [[LoveMakesYouDumb dumb]].

Interestingly enough, it's common for such relationships to start cleanly and quickly, avoiding WillTheyOrWontThey altogether, and proceed somewhat more smoothly than whatever other characters may be in a relationship, thus often turning them into a BetaCouple.

** Another ''Joss Whedon'' show, ''{{Dollhouse}}'' had Topher and Bennett, with their FoeYay and SlapSlapKiss. [[spoiler:They kiss, everything's going good, and then Bennett is hit with the HeelFaceDoorSlam and [[BoomHeadshot shot in the head]].]]

* Topher and Bennett on ''{{Dollhouse}}''. With DatingCatwoman complications, [[spoiler:and it didn't last long.]]

* {{Firefly}} has the [[TheMedic genius doctor]] Simon and the [[WrenchWench genius mechanic]] Kaylee. Though [[WillTheyOrWontThey they won't]]... until TheMovie, that is.

* Abby and McGee on ''{{NCIS}}'' exhibit some elements of this. The facts that they aren't quite an official couple, that in general Abby is fairly affectionate towards all her colleagues, and that Duckie is arguably at least as smart as either of them does water the trope down a bit.
