While Fry stands as the most important person in the universe, obviously he is nowhere close to being the smartest. Such said, he's not as dumb as he acts either; still living like a bachelor and spontaneously, for certain (many), and hanging around Bender doesn't help him in this aspect. Over the years, though, he has shown that he is willing to learn and improve himself (2x19, 3x14 and newer). Also, it's apparent he's more left brained than right from his feel for art and creativity from within (1x02, 3x02, 4x18), which really touches Leela. Above all, he has shown on more than one occasion of helping and protecting Leela before himself (1x02, 2x04, 2x09, 4x03, 4x10, 4x12); he would give up his life, just to protect her's.
I don't see Leela as "high maintenance" either - her life is pretty basic, really, as you can tell from her apartment (3x02). Being serious almost all the time is the antithesis of Fry (many), which creates the biggest friction between the two. Although the slightest action from a date could make her happy, she still has high expectations of their personalities, and that they need to care how she feels too (1x04, 2x09, 3x09, 4x10).
Together, I truly feel they would manage everything out. In her desires, she wants someone smarter, more organized in life than Fry, but deep down, she also knows that he truly cares for her in ways that no one else has. As often as Leela denies it, and as desperate as Fry gets (in Universe-A), ultimately, they will do fine for each other (ala Universe-1, 4x15).
-- Kane ... just my outlook on it.

Foxxy Gurl, I totally agree with your sentiments, but if you could, please edit your post above and put some "enters" in the exclamations....the loooong line stretches out the whole page, and makes it very hard to read Narfcake's detailed and interesting post above (as well as any that may be posted below, including this one in a moment). Thanks! And, a big "what he said!" in reference to Narfcake's post. Even if it was posted a year ago or more.

I don't think the high maintenance argument was meant about her lifestyle I think it was meant about the fact that as you say she has high expectations that would be difficult to live up to, or at least thats how I read it. Together, I truly feel they would manage everything out. In her desires, she wants someone smarter, more organized in life than Fry, but deep down, she also knows that he truly cares for her in ways that no one else has.

Leela simultaneously likes and dislikes Fry: She likes his boyish charm, and he can be incredibly sweet. On the otherhand she hates his immaturity, and hygine... or the lack of it. Just for example; there are a boatload more. Leela doesn't seem to think Fry's a bad kind'a guy, so she doesn't want to hurt him, but he just isn't what she's looking for in a man, so she declines his invitations to spend 'time away from work' together. At least, that's my take on it.

I could draw/write poems/letters to xyz (by which I mean Carolyn! ) because I really wanted us to be an item - wouldn't make it happen! Her rejection wouldn't make her soulless either - you can't make someone love you. That said, I do think that all things being equal, Leela and Fry would be a great couple as Fry slowly matures a little and Leela lets her guard-against-being-hurt down a little Well, that or she hooks up with Amy. As long as I get to be the photographer/draw-er of it all, I'm really quite happy either way!

Smell this. Then we'll talk.

Originally posted by x.Bianca.x: As much as we want it to happen (or not), if there was an ep that saw Fry nd Leela getting together, i think that would be the last of futurama *sigh* Not necissarily. In fact that very thing is being discussed in the Ship thread right now. IMO it would just create more things to make fun of.
