The mismatched couple?

[ThisNThat]

I have to say, I come across rarity's in life and figure, "Man, where was that woman when she was single? We could have been married by now!"

There's this couple I know, if you see her alone and with a guy, you can be fooled into thinking he's an orbiter or at the most her brother as he's not very attractive, but more very average. They both have two kids, one's a teen, the other elementary school.

Doesn't life, has a spare tire, but not fat. Obviously not in shape. Short, too. And before you think he has "status, money, and power"...think again...he has an average income. He works for the city as a maint. person of traffic lights. So nothing to write home about in case you're thinking she married for money.

She is a bank teller, they are both in their 40s, been married....yes...20 years...have 2 kids together. I'm astonished as she's very slender, and does modeling on the side. I had gotten to know them, he's a real nice guy. She's nice, too.

I was kind of jealous because I thought, "Dammit, where was she 20 years go, when her and I could have met...I would have stood a chance! lol!"

There was a family photo of a wedding with her in it, she was the only slender woman of the Puerto Rican family. Most in his her her family are chunky or overweight, but I guess she take good care of herself....he doesn't though. Definitely doesn't "lift"

Just think of those sitcoms where the wife is more attractive than the chubby husband, ie "King of Queens." Just an example.

I remember showing the couple to a friend of mine and she was like, "Well, maybe he makes up for his looks by being a "nice guy".

And of course, define "nice guy" in this context, right? lol

Sometimes game analysis doesn't really matter. Some couples just are they way they are; they're attracted to each other and that's the way it is. He might push her buttons emotionally, which is far more important for a woman than looks alone.

^^ I agree with this. He may lack in the departments of looks, money, power, etc. but he makes up for it with how he behaves with her and treats her and manipulates her emotions. Plus he may be pounding that pu$$y to Planet-O in another galaxy who knows.

It happens a lot when people from social circles end up dating, or someone that have known each other a long time. Initially things are based on physical attraction, but after knowing the person for a longer time women start liking other traits that a guy has and their physical appearance becomes less important

Yeah, I think they had known each other for a long time, prior to coming from PR to the states. He has a brother that married an equally attractive PR woman...and apparently that woman if friends with the other wife of the other brother.

We're talking a closed sphere, fishbowl social circle here. Now that we have online dating, the skies the limit and if she had never married him, chances are she'd be plate spinning online. lol
