Geeks and nerds often have it rough in the romance department, especially in popular culture. Typically, they are stereotyped as being so unattractive that only fellow nerds would find them desirable mates. However, it is interest and intellect that makes the nerd, not looks. And for some folks, intelligence is very, very attractive. Other names for this trope would be sapiosexual, scisexual, and cognisexual. This trope shows what happens when a character finds that a nerd is, indeed, sexy. The nerd's "objective" looks could fall anywhere within the wide spectrum of human attractiveness; all that matters is that a character finds something about the nerd that arouses their interest. Compare Endearingly Dorky, where characters are charmed by dorks (who may or may not be nerds as well). See also Hot Librarian, Geeky Turn-On, Bespectacled Cutie, Glasses Are Sexy, Nerdcore, Lovable Nerd and Give Geeks a Chance. Racial/nerd tropes like Jewish and Nerdy and Asian and Nerdy are examples of ethnicities associated with intelligence. Only add examples that are acknowledged in-universe. |

Child of the Storm Peter Parker, who is mentioned as being "kind of hot" once he loses the glasses and becomes more confident after the events of the Bloody Hell arc in Book Two. This trope is zig-zagged in the case of Hermione. While definitely a nerd, and said to be quite pretty (increasingly resembling her famously beautiful biological mother, Wanda Maximoff, closely enough that people start noticing), it doesn't get much focus because most of the story is from Harry's POV, and he and Hermione are Like Brother and Sister. |

This is practically the mission statement behind Gold Digger, a comic about Gina Diggers a really hot, really ... "friendly" woman who's also a bespectacled supergenius, and her friends, many of whom are just as hot and almost as smart as she is (though they're generally less nerdy). | |

Highschool of the Dead: While Saya is undeniably cute and has a stunning figure, Hirano doesn't become attracted to her until he finds out she wears glasses. She even caught him perving on her, in chapter 5, and booted him for it. He's clearly shown being awestruck and turned on by just how smart she is. | |

In Gilmore Girls, there's an episode where Rory is seen sitting in the college cafeteria wearing a t-shirt with the logo, "Reading is Sexy." Considering she wears it while thinking about Logan, the third guy in the series she's attracted to for his intellect, it is a reflection of what she honestly believes. | |

Angel: The spin-off series has Fred (Winifred), the nerdy yet cute science girl who joined the cast late in the second season. During the third season, her sexy nerdiness had Wesley and Gunn fighting over her for half the season. This was lampshaded in the famous scene in "Apocalypse Nowish" where Lilah Morgan dresses up in Nerd Glasses and Girlish Pigtails to taunt Wesley over his attraction to Fred. Played with briefly when David Nabbit gives Angel financial advice in "First Impressions". |

Arrow has Felicity Smoak, the Oracle to Oliver Queen's Batman. She is tech savvy and innovative enough to thoroughly impress the crew at Star Labs in the first of a few crossovers with The Flash (2014) and if it wasn't apparent already, the Little Black Dress she rocks on a double date with Barry, Iris and Eddie seals it- the woman is a FOX. Very telling is the fact that besides her brief flirtation with Barry Allen, she's had both Oliver(Arrow) and Ray Palmer (Atom,) two billionaire superheroes, in love with her almost from the word go. | |

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Whereas the previous incarnations of Velma's character were Hollywood Pudgy, "Mystery Incorporated" slimmed down her figure and portrayed her as being sexually aggressive. Shaggy even dated hernote until they broke up, due to Scooby's jealousy and had to admit she was the one thing he'd choose over food. And for a Big Eater like Shaggy, that's literally saying a mouthful! | |

Moreover Lisa speculates that all practitioners of BDSM are in a way nerds, because (as the comic shows) the advanced stuff uses so much thought and attention to be done safely you naturally have to be an enthusiast type. | |

Ugly Betty gets a lot of it. The title character may be cute and even beautiful upon certain occasions, but her sexy turns on only in the last few episodes of the series.

Taken to the extreme as the premise of The World God Only Knows. Keima Katsuragi is a proud nerd who spends all his time playing video games and prefers 2D girls over real girls. Yet his vast knowledge of Dating Sims has made him an expert at getting girls to fall in love with him (in order for him to exorcise the evil spirits possessing them... It Makes Sense in Context!), all the while remaining an unrepentant otaku. Not to mention he is pretty good looking and dresses pretty properly. It's hinted that a lot of the girls are impressed by his defiance of authority, even if the defiance comes through geeky activities that they don't really approve of. | |

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, they get laid pretty much because of it. The Tag Line is "Smart is the new sexy." In one episode Leonard shows Penny what he does in his laser lab. It's been implied that Penny's never actually seen his work, either due to lack of interest or a fear that she just won't understand it. Once Leonard demonstrates it for her (along with a Carl Sagan-esque monologue about the beauty and complexity of the universe), Penny promptly tears his clothes off. The show didn't pick up on this right away though; their nerdiness was presented as an obstacle to their getting laid at first. In an early episode (thus long before Amy comes along), there is a girl who becomes kind of Sheldon's groupie, because she admires his scientific work and his intelligence. At one point she reveals to Penny that she is indeed also in a non-platonic way attracted to Sheldon, but deliberately restrains herself so that Sheldon's brilliant mind can be entirely devoted to his work, without any distractions. |

Donovan from Silver Bullet Nights. He's short, wears old-fashioned glasses and talks like a middle-aged professor. Despite this, he has no problem picking up a tall, dark and handsome stranger. Of course, it helps that Donovan is attractive in a nerdy sort of way. Kind of geek-meets-twink. | |

Super Robot Wars's Ryusei Date is the epitome of otakuness, having more interest in the features of whichever Fembot was currently in the hangar than real girls. Nevertheless, Latooni Subota and Mai Kobayashi fall for him, the former going as far as imitating his geeky speech out of affection. Ryusei himself doesn't seem to mind, though. | |

Superman: Believe it or not, Clark Kent, at least post-crisis. Ever since Clark allowed more of his real personality to show through, the Midwestern farmboy is every bit a Chick Magnet as good 'ol Peter Parker. Some such as Cat Grant, were explicitly attracted to Clark Kent, and not Superman. Of course, being built like the Man of Steel couldn't have hurt, despite everything he does to downplay those looks. It actually goes further back then that. Despite his dorky outward appearance, people forget that he was also the star quarterback of the football team, the Homecoming King, and dated Lana Lang, the Cheerleading Captain, Homecoming Queen, and by all accounts the most beautiful girl at Smallville High. |

Intelligence is such a turn on for her that her first love had been an overweight man thirty years her senior who was a university professor. When Naruto starts teaching her seals, she gets aroused by his knowledge, particularly because she has two doctorates and yet he makes her feel like a young student all over again. Naruto later exploits this by using sealing Technobabble as dirty talk. | |

Cyberpunk: Alt Cunningham was a lingerie model as well as a once-in-a-lifetime rockstar netrunner and programmer, but it is also made quite clear that Alt's appearance was not a result of winning the genetic lottery, but rather of spending several "startup stock options from Amazon"-size paychecks on biosculpting, plastic surgery, cosmetic cyberware and gene therapy in order to indulge her desire to be beautiful, and her modelling career was less about the money than making the world acknowledge that she had succeeded. | |

This trope has been played with in Gundam Build Fighters: Subverted with Tatsuya Yuuki who's the typical popular guy in school. However, his fangirls see his Gunpla obsession as his only major flaw... that is until he pulls off a Curb-Stomp Gunpla Battle against the protagonist's model kit. Invoked by Kirara, whose extensive knowledge of gunplas and the Gundam 'verse in general cause Sei to outright swoon over her. It later turns out that he just REALLY liked her as a fellow Gundam otaku. Played completely and utterly straight with Ricardo Fellini, who almost hooked a date with a Victory Gundam model kit. |

In his route, the female main character falls for him not just because of his kindness, quirky sense of humor, and sincere desire to make her happy, but also because of his intelligence and unquenchable thirst of learning that he's more than happy to let her participate in. She even admits to him in one ending that she was disappointed he didn't stay dressed in his lab coat for their date. | |

After seeing hell freeze over we are treated to a nerd dancing around in his underwear, gleefully singing about getting laid (mis-spelling laid as layed as he does so). The hot girl in bed states, in a rather matter of fact manner, that she thinks nerds are hot. | |

Fiore from Moony Witcher's La Bambina Della Sesta Luna ("The Girl of the Sixth Moon") is a typical know-all, with special interest in history and Latin (she really likes to show her knowledge of Latin phrases). At the same time, she's beautiful, romantic and sometimes demonstrates a sense of humor. Given that Fiore means "flower" in Italian, this seems to be a case of Meaningful Name. | |

Arrowverse: Arrow has Felicity Smoak, the Oracle to Oliver Queen's Batman. She is tech savvy and innovative enough to thoroughly impress the crew at Star Labs in the first of a few crossovers with The Flash (2014) and if it wasn't apparent already, the Little Black Dress she rocks on a double date with Barry, Iris and Eddie seals it- the woman is a FOX. Very telling is the fact that besides her brief flirtation with Barry Allen, she's had both Oliver(Arrow) and Ray Palmer (Atom,) two billionaire superheroes, in love with her almost from the word go. Ray himself counts. His Tall, Dark, and Handsome appearance, intelligence, and love for Doctor Who were all reasons Felicity listed as to why he was practically the perfect man. He's a contender for the nerdiest character in the Arrowverse, played by an actor who once portrayed Superman. That in itself should indicate how much he qualifies. Cisco in The Flash (2014) is no slouch in the department himself. Lisa Snart even outright says "smart is sexy" when he gives her the name Golden Glider, and it's repeatedly shown that she genuinely finds him charming. Clark Kent, as noted above—he's a total dork who is dating (later married to) Lois Lane, Cat Grant almost literally drools all over him, Lena Luthor flirts with him a little, and Alex Danvers (who comes out as lesbian later in the season) thinks he smells terrific. |

Doctor Who: The Doctor, at least in the incarnations where he's allowed a love interest. Many characters seem attracted by just how intelligent the Doctor is, with such a wide range of knowledge that it vastly out-scopes anything we know. Of course, being good looking and having a time machine probably doesn't hurt, either. Several of his companions fit this trope, although they are usually overshadowed by the Doctor. |

Dr. Spencer Reid of Criminal Minds graduated from high school at 12, had two BAs by 16, has an IQ of 187, and an eidetic memory. In one episode, fellow profiler Hotch mentions that he "was propositioned by every prostitute we talked to." It becomes something of a running gag that sex workers hit on Reid. |

Richard, the engineer, wins Nicole's heart this way in Rama II. As a nerd, he works out how to hack into Rama's sensor feeds to visualise the weapons as they approach in the finale. He also comes up with a graphic display to show to the avian aliens in their enclosure in order to convince them to carry himself and Nicole across the cylindrical sea. As a child he also had a thing for Shakespeare, which he channels now into lifelike, shape-changing robots based on Shakespear's characters. On a few occasions he uses them as survey drones, and the first vision of the octospiders comes through one of them. Nicole herself engineers her way out of certain situations; this is what she likes about Richard though, and he does it better than her. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: Eddward "Edd" (better known as "Double D" because of the way his name is spelled), who's easily the most popular character in the series, has had more girls go after than any other male character on the show. There's Marie Kanker, one of the Kanker Sisters who is Double D's usual Stalker with a Crush. Ed's younger sister, Sarah, has a Precocious Crush on Double D. Nazz kissed Double D on the cheek in "The Day the Ed Stood Still" and pulled him into a dance in "May I Have This Ed?" Plus, Double D was the only boy outside of Kevin that Nazz ever really expressed a romantic interest in. Marie's sister, May, had a lot of Ship Tease with Double D is the series' Valentine's Day-special (even if it was only because they fell in love due being struck with love-arrows from Cupid-Sarah and Cupid-Jimmy). At the end of the special, he keeps the Valentine's Day-card she obliviously made for him after they were struck by the arrows as he read it consciously with silent joy. |

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 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 nymphomania) — 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. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Xander, Willow, and Wesley are all sexy nerds in their way, but it's Giles who's sexy because he's a nerd (or, as a love interest put it, "a sexy fuddy-duddy"). Later lampshaded when even Tara and Willow, both lesbians, find Giles singing "Behind Blue Eyes" incredibly sexy. Played with later in the series when Xander comments that smart girls are hot, and Willow, who at that point is a lesbian, mournfully asks him why he couldn't have figured that out when they were in 10th grade (i.e. during the time Willow had the hots for Xander). |

Evelyn is shy and bookish but Stanley finds her attractive because of these things that leads them to make a date at Stanley's apartment. Eve finds Stanley very attractive like the girls do with him so she falls in love with him at first sight and Stanley does admit that he does find her a cute, polite, kind and good-hearted woman who is also very attractive as well which does lead him to consider to let her be around for a while but then wonders what their children will be like among other reasons as well so he decides not to let her be around for a while even if he feels guilty for taking her face off. |

American Pie's Nadia is established to be attracted to geeks. The only reason Jim doesn't get with her in the first movie is that he's too nervous with her. Despite this, she tries it on with him in the second movie, only for him to eventually rebuff her when he realises how he feels about Michelle, who is herself quite geeky. Nadia has to make do with Sherman at the party. In fact, the last film implies that Nadia is not completely over Jim. | |
