Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A character is turned on by another character's intelligence, rather than by their looks.
* '''Straight''': Bob and Alice, after a conversation at the dinner table that included quantum mechanics and references to SciFi, decide that they were the perfect match.
* '''Exaggerated''': After said conversation, Bob [[EngagingConversation proposes to Alice right on the spot]].
* '''Downplayed''': They agree to another conversation a week later.
* '''Justified''': Alice has sapiophilia, and Bob is one of the most intelligent characters in the story.
* '''Inverted''':
** Alice is very much disgusted at Bob's superior knowledge, being TheDitz and all.
** Alice is turned on by Bob's athletic ability.
* '''Subverted''': Alice later reveals she was feigning her love of Bob because she didn't want to sound stupid.
* '''Double Subverted''': She does say she "felt something" when Bob said "[[CowboyBebop See ya, Space Cowgirl."
* '''Parodied''': An entire dating website measures how geeky someone is, what their knowledge of obscure shows is, how close they live to major conventions...
* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice is struggling throughout the story to pick Brainy Bob or Sporty Sam. Bonus points if, at the end, she decides to take the female equivalent of the Casanova approach.
* '''Averted''': Alice and Bob do not attempt to make moves on each other.
* '''Enforced''': "How about we put something to make the geeks in our audience feel they ''can'' get a girl?"
* '''Lampshaded''': "After that StarTrek reference, I feel we were made for each other."
* '''Invoked''': "Well, if you're not concerned with how attractive she looks, she is also one of the few Straight-A students in this school."
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Alice, uncomfortable with dating a geek (for fear of being bullied), attempts to break up shortly after the relationship is established.
* '''Discussed''': "Do geeks ever find love?" "Well, Bob's gone and gotten himself married to a fellow otaku."
* '''Conversed''': "Why would anyone be turned on by knowledge?" "Ever heard of Cleopatra?"
