Re: One Day - Real life examples of couples who are physically mismatched

Anonymous wrote:One of the happiest couples I know, the husband is a hottie fireman- chiseled body, cares for the kids and house on his 3-4 days off per week, funny, the whole 9 yards. The wife is frumpy and overweight (and always has been), but she is so kind, has the most contagious laugh, is smart, and super loving. They've been together over 20 years. They literally jokingly call themselves "the perfect 10" couple because when they stand next to each other they resemble the number 10...

This is so ignorant and sexist. It seems we are losing all the progress we've made. How can you not see that you described the woman in this ideal relationship as the madonna of the whore/madonna complex? Are you really that uneducated? She's "super" loving... We will never have a female president and thanks to girls or women like you, we will all continue to suffer. It's disgusting that in 2024 women are primarily valued by how attractive they are.

This is such an interesting set of responses. I’ve long thought that women are much harsher about appearance dissecting every detail and men don’t do that.

We are our own worst enemies. Fewer young women seem to understand what sexism and misogyny are and therefore continue the long history of keeping us as a lesser class.

We don't know any real life people so can only discuss celebrities and wtf knows what kind of crazy baggage they have. I would not question any 10 celeb dating a 5 or vice versa. They've got reasons.

Real life people don’t make their money in entertainment. If I have to look at you in the screen at least be good looking. It’s like how I expect football and basketball players to be athletic. The least an actress can do is be pretty.

Jesus wept. There is nothing to be said to you.

Have no idea about their personalities on the show, but I think she looks nice and that's the kind of looks match I see in public all the time.

Another man here and I agree. Never heard of the show, the characters or the actors, but I googled and was expecting a wildebeest. She's a regular looking woman that many men would happily date.

+1. The way some (I assume) women talk about other women's appearance on her is totally foreign to me as a man. She's cute.

She’s probably cute to you because you aren’t attractive either. People think people in their same looks class as being better looking than they are. If she’s cute to you, that does not bode well for your looks.

I’m guessing again that you are a woman. I’ve only met women who say stuff like “water meets its level.” It reads like weird jealousy. (I am a woman, by the way. The truly hottest men I’ve met find beauty everywhere.)

No, hot men date hot women or rich ones.

Shallowness meets its level?

+100 The ignorant never understand the damage they do.

She is below average. Compare her to other Indian actresses in Bollywood. She looks much, much worse than the average actress. She is very ordinary looking and it stands out on screen.

You are vile.

Asian American woman here - it's well known in our circles that you don't have to be a particularly attractive Asian woman to have non-Asian men attracted to you. So long as you are thin and with shiny hair, an Asian woman will get a lot of attention. Unfortunately, this is largely due to historically ingrained stereotypes that sexualize Asian women, but the point stands.

Don’t even have to be thin TBH.

-not thin Asian woman

Agree with everything you said except that we are threatened by it. Trust me, we do not want these misogynists and are happy they self-select out of our dating pool. But I don’t want them for you, either. I hate that some Asian women don’t see it or have enough internalized misogyny to not be put off by it. As I feminist I just hate this kind of guy and wish they’d leave Asian women alone.

Are you her publicist, her mother or blind?

I watched the show. I thought he looked effeminate at the start in Edinburgh. I thought there was something off about the looks of the woman who played his mother.

I thought Em looked better in the later years when her hair was blown out and she wore makeup.

You must have not seen the slums of Mumbai. Jesus doesn’t seem to care about that, let alone an ugly actress.

Actually she did look like she’d had a nose job gone wrong.

You think Bill was good looking?!? Nope. Smart, conniving, slick, but definitively not attractive!

[Anonymous]

I think the real problem is the lack of chemistry between the actors, not her looks. I will say the male lead looks much better on screen than the photos in this thread.

I know beautiful women frequently fall for ugly guy rich or high status men. Are there any examples of good looking successful men falling for ugly women?

She’s beautiful!

No, she’s not. Simone Ashley is beautiful. Frida Pinto is beautiful. Priyanka Chopra is beautiful. To say that Ambika Mod is average is to be very generous.
