1	'''Basic Trope''': A character is turned on by another character's intelligence, rather than by their looks.
2	* '''Straight''': AliceAndBob, after a conversation at the dinner table that included quantum mechanics and references to SciFi, decide that they were the perfect match.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': After said conversation, Bob [[EngagingConversation proposes to Alice right on the spot]].
4	* '''Downplayed''': They agree to another conversation a week later.
5	* '''Justified''': Alice has sapiophilia, and Bob is one of the most intelligent characters in the story.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** Alice is very much disgusted at Bob's superior knowledge, being TheDitz and all.
8	** Alice is turned on by Bob's athletic ability.
9	** ArousedByIdiocy.
10	* '''Subverted''': Alice later reveals she was feigning her love of Bob because she didn't want to sound stupid.
11	* '''Double Subverted''': She does say she "felt something" when Bob said "[[Anime/CowboyBebop See ya, Space Cowgirl.]]"
12	* '''Parodied''': An entire dating website measures how geeky someone is, what their knowledge of obscure shows is, how close they live to major conventions...
13	* '''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.
14	* '''Averted''': Alice and Bob do not attempt to make moves on each other.
15	* '''Enforced''': "How about we put something to make the geeks in our audience feel they ''can'' get a girl?"
16	* '''Lampshaded''': "After that Franchise/StarTrek reference, I feel we were made for each other."
17	* '''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."
18	* '''Exploited''': There is a lucrative dating website designed entirely to pair off nerds.
19	* '''Defied''': Alice, uncomfortable with dating a geek (for fear of being bullied), attempts to break up shortly after the relationship is established.
20	* '''Discussed''': "Do geeks ever find love?" "Well, Bob's gone and gotten himself married to a fellow otaku."
21	* '''Conversed''': "Why would anyone be turned on by knowledge?" "Ever heard of Cleopatra?"
22	* '''Implied''': When Bob sees Alice's Franchise/StarTrek shirt, he gets a big smile. Alice shyly smiles back.
23	* '''Deconstructed''': There is more to a relationship than liking the same show. Alice and Bob's relationship falls apart due to personality differences.
24	* '''Reconstructed''': Geekiness got Alice and Bob together, and is a good source of fun, but is not the basis of their relationship.
