Line 115:
* Eric and Donna from ''[[That '70s Show]]''.
** Friendship example: Fez and Donna. He and his girlfriend Big Rhonda subvert it, since she's bigger and stronger than he is but is also an awkward [[Huge Schoolgirl]].
* Wash and Zoe from ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]''. He's not ''girly'', but less masculine by comparison.
* Lee "Apollo" Adama and Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from the rebooted ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' are an interesting example of how to flip a gender dynamic: it's not so much about the way they look and dress as how they behave with each other. Apollo tends to be the softer, more introspective of the two, while Starbuck is louder, brasher, and more of an alpha than he is. Despite this, no one in-universe sees them as less masculine or less feminine for it.
* J.D. and Elliot from ''[[Scrubs]]''. Elliot seems to have this in most of her relationships. Kelso once commented on she and Keith's relationship:
Line 192:
* ''[[Lost Odyssey]]''. Possibly [[Action Girl|Seth]] and the husband who encouraged her to settle down and {{spoiler|have a child}}. Whether or not he was an 'Action Guy' himself, we don't find out.
* Saki and Kojirou from ''[[Danball Senki]]'' are alike in many different ways, but you can tell who's the man in the relationship by how they dress. Saki wears a bandana and a tube top that exposes her midriff, and Kojirou wears an apron. It's not hard to see why they love each other so much, though.
* The short story included in ''[[Mount & Blade]] II: Bannerlord: Digital Companion'' follows protagonist and narrator Asaios the scribe, whose writings are not shy about how (regardless of his extensive travels) he is a [[Non-Action Guy]] whose primary value is his literacy. At one point in his journey he is accompanied by Atun of the Khergit, a nomadic horsewoman that has killed two soldier, andsoldiers. whileWhile prideful of her tribal traditions., Atun notes she's unlikely to find a good man that has fulfilled the traditional requirement of marriage (killing an enemy) to be her husband let alone one that exceeds her two kills (and thus won't resent a wife of superior score). {{spoiler|At the end Asaios, a bit too full of himself after having come into enough money to buy a reasonable plot of land, proposes to Atun when the two run into each other again by chance. She enjoys the offer and says she'll consider it, with the story ending before the audience learns what happens.}}
