Line 47:
* This is pretty much the entire point to ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''. The boys on the show don't get laid in spite of their geekiness (except Sheldon, [[Asexuality|for whom sex is less exciting than video games]]), they get laid pretty much ''because'' of it.
** The [[Tagline]] is "Smart is the new sexy".
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130628070044/http://oceanup.com/legacy/2009/05/26/david-henrie-selena-gomez-blond.jpg David Henrie], who plays Justin, in ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]''. The nerdy boy that builds robots, collects action figures and can't do more pull-ups than his younger sister. Surprisingly (or not), in the show [[Unwanted Harem|he has a lot of girlfriends]].
* ''A Town Called [[Eureka]]'' is this troop in a nutshell seeing as it's a town full of Super Geniuses/nerds. It also created a 'Chicks find the Science talk sexy in some of the episodes. Good examples are Zane, Henry, Alison Claudia (kinda counts she was in both Warehouse 13/Eureka Crossovers)
* Ben Wyatt in ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' is into math, model trains, skinny ties, plaid shirts, and ''Game of Thrones'', but that doesn't stop Leslie Knope, Shauna Malwae-Tweep, Marlene Griggs-Knope, and Joan Callamezzo from hitting on/chasing after him.
Line 92:
* After finding out about this trope, ''[[FoxTrot]]'''s Jason Fox once tried to make himself as un-nerdy as possible because [[Girls Have Cooties]].
* Alice from ''[[Loserz]]'' thinks so. See [http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/217 this] strip.
** And Adam from the same strip actually ''is'' a sexy nerd (although he usually hides it - being a gaming nerd, not being sexy). See [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213154844/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/397 here].
* ''[[Tales of MU]]'' takes this to the logical extreme—Amaranth is a physically perfect nymph, naked except for her glasses, who believes in science in a world of [[Magitek|magic-based technology]]. Beyond the mere nudism, nymphs in MU follow the more ''open'' version in regards to sex and sexuality (the ultimate origin of the term ''nymph''omania) -- although Amaranth treats it as an enjoyable part time job / chore more than anything.
** It's later discovered this is because of a teenage geek messing with the process that created her, creating the ultimate geek fantasy girl—a confident, polite nudist who will put up with ANYTHING and literally can't get enough sex. Oh, and she's a geek, too. Unfortunately, he was too shy to talk to her afterward, which left her in the dark about the whole thing.
