In romantic relationships, flaws and imperfections often make a person more attractive and serve as an additional "turn on". It could be a Speech Impediment, a limp, a dyslexia that results in a lot of spelling mistakes, a curse that causes the person to speak with a Verbal Tic, the fact that the person is a walking dead creature rather than a living human — basically, whatever that is generally considered an imperfection. The reasons for such a reaction are many and varied: it could be the protective feeling inspired by the handicap, the admiration of a person's courage and tenacity in dealing with it, or just the fact that this flaw makes them unique. On the part of the person who has the imperfection, it's a frequent reason for Keeping the Handicap. Super-Trope to Sexy Spectacles, subtrope of Attraction to Outliers and Charm Point. Also compare Speech-Impeded Love Interest, Cute Mute, Cute Clumsy Girl, Has a Type, Freakiness Shame, and Uncanny Valley. |

Scrubs: Elliot initially tries to hide all her neurosis from her boyfriend Paul, but then unleashes a monologue detailing all her phobias, paranoia and baggage after getting sick of hiding. She expects him to be shocked, but he admits that he is "very turned on". Julie is introduced doing a Sexy Walk, highlighting Mandy Moore's beauty, and JD noting that there's "something so accessible about her". She then proves to be not just a Cute Clumsy Girl but a walking disaster who trips over a dessert cart, manages to face plant herself simply leaning on the table and causes Disaster Dominoes that culminate in whacking Elliot in the face with a napkin holder. JD finds this even more attractive. |

Discussed on King of the Hill when Bobby starts growing roses competitively. When Hank notices a flaw on one of his roses, Bobby brings up the concept of wabi-sabi and explains that sometimes a flaw can improve something's attractiveness, comparing the flaw to Kathy Ireland's mole. Hank doesn't see it that way and clips off the flaw. After the rose is damaged during a contest, Hank tries to defend the damage this way. The judges don't see it that way either. | |

In Chocolate, this is explicitly one of the reasons that a yakuza fell in love with a Thai mob enforcer: the yakuza has a fascination with "imperfections" and in this case he found the enforcer's scar on her face to be alluring. | |

Hajime no Ippo: Aoki has a preference for women with ugly faces (partly due to the trauma of his first girlfriend dumping him). His girlfriend Tomiko, while not exaggeratedly ugly, has a big nose and large lips and considered less attractive than most other females in the series, though she's also noted to have a nice body to compensate. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow is a babbling dork who verbally digs herself into a hole in the early seasons, and has no sense of fashion. Oz however notices her because of this and that's why he falls for her. Giles is frequently made fun of for his British Stuffiness and overreliance on tweed clothes, but it's precisely those things that attract Jenny Calendar to him. |
