Basically, a couple consisting of a very feminine-looking/acting boy and a very masculine-acting/looking girl. Need not be romantic, but usually is. Often comes from pairing the [[Action Girl]] with the [[Non-Action Guy]] and with doses of [[Crossdresser]], [[Bifauxnen]], [[Ambiguous Gender]], [[Attractive Bent Gender]], [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]], [[Viewer Gender Confusion]], [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]], [[Even the Guys Want Him]] and [[Even the Girls Want Her]]. Common in [[Gender Bender]] and [[Freaky Friday Flip]] series. Occasionally, [[House Husband]]s and their wives will fall under this trope.
Line 11:
Compare to [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]], [[Pitbull Dates Puppy]], and [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]. [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]] and [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]] work on a similar principle, but with two characters of the same gender. The [[Useless Boyfriend]] trope can be the result of this, but not always. Most likely are [[Cultural Rebel]]s. Subtrope of [[Stereotype Flip]].

* Jimmy Stark's parents in ''[[Rebel Without a Cause]]''.
* [[WALL-E]] and EVE. Wall-E isn't exactly girly considering he takes care of garbage, but Eve is still the stronger of the two.
* ''[[A Shaun
* ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'' and Wybie. While [[The Woobie|Wybie's]] not girly per se, [[Kid Hero|Coraline]] is definitely the more aggressive of the two.
* There was a short film featured on [[Logo]] that showed a [[Gender Flip]] of a heterosexual wedding. The bride wore a black pantsuit; the groom wore a white tuxedo and veiled top hat, and held the bouquet as his mother walked him down the aisle. He was also kind of short. Even among the wedding-goers, all the men wore different suits while the women were dressed more low-key. The whole thing was brilliant.
