Opposites Attract/Playing With

Basic Trope: Two characters work well together because they're diametric opposites.

• Straight: Bob and Alice are a couple who clash more often than not. However, they're also attracted to each other.
• Exaggerated: Bob and Alice seemingly have nothing in common, but they're madly in love with each other.
• Justified: Bob and Alice feel that they complement each other very well.
• Inverted: Bob and Alice have extremely similar tastes - but they hate each others' guts.
  • Alternatively, Birds of a Feather.
• Subverted: Bob and Alice clash frequently - when someone suggests that they are secretly in love with each other, they laugh it off.
• Double Subverted: That's because they secretly are attracted to each other.
• Parodied: A dating service matches compatible couples based on how vitriolic their interaction is with each other.
• Deconstructed: Bob and Alice are initially attracted to each other because of their differences, and decide to get together because they think they complement each other. However, once in a committed relationship their disagreements start to wear on them, they begin to find each others' differing traits annoying or bothersome, and the relationship ultimately fails painfully.
