History PlayingWith / OppositesAttract

** Bob and Alice seemingly have nothing in common but are still madly in love with each other.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice and Bob are an OfficialCouple despite their mutually exclusive interests, while Pete and Sarah want nothing to do with each other for the same reason. Mike and Heidi are basically gender-swapped versions of each other and HappilyMarried, whereas Emily and Gilbert hate each other despite being so alike.

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob and Alice seemingly have nothing in common but are still madly in love with each other.

* '''Conversed''': "I give it till the last {{Sweeps}} next season."

'''Basic Trope''': Two characters work well together because they’re diametric opposites.
* '''Straight''': AliceAndBob are a couple who clash more often than not. [[SlapSlapKiss Despite that, they’re also attracted to each other.]]

** Bob and Alice have extremely similar tastes — but they hate each other’s guts.

** They’re different and hate each other’s guts.

* '''Double Subverted''': …That’s because they secretly ''are'' attracted to each other.

* '''Averted''': They’re not very good partners; or they have similar interests.

* '''Lampshaded''': AliceAndBob both note that they can’t believe how madly in love they are given how different they are.

-->'''Bob''': This can’t happen that often. If it did, there would be far fewer families.\\
'''Alice''': Speaking from personal experience, it does. [[LikeParentLikeSpouse My parents have the same inexplicable attraction as you and I.]]
* '''Conversed''': “I give it till the last {{Sweeps}} next season.”

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob and Alice are initially attracted to each other because of their differences, and decide to get together because they think they complement each other. However, once in a committed relationship their disagreements start to wear on them, they begin to find each other’s differing traits annoying or bothersome, and the relationship ultimately fails painfully.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob and Alice are usually very different people who bicker and have conflicting opinions. However, when together, they bring out the best out of each other by forcing them to go out of their way to appeal to each other’s sensibilities, and the fact that they bother to better themselves for each other in the first place is a sign of their relationship going somewhere.
