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

She has a nerdy charm , certainly not your standard cosmetically enhanced beige beauty charm.

In college I dated a guy who was much more attractive and “popular” than I was. I was cute, don’t get me wrong, but he usually dated more generically attractive and skinnier women. he pursued me, I wasn’t interested because I assumed he was a jerk.and we ended up actually having a ton in common and a great friendship before we dated. Similar to one day, I would say it was about our chemistry and connection. We just clicked.

Didn’t work out for other reasons. And fwiw he ended up marrying someone less attractive than me in the long run.

I know several guys who married less attractive women. One woman had a lot of family money. The other is super successful and ambitious so it was actually kind of puzzling but he seems to love her and I can imagine his personality/ego being a lot to live with.

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.)

Agree with this. Women who consider themselves hot or beautiful simply can’t handle it that men, while they might agree these women are hot or beautiful, don’t think they’re THAT much better than “plain Jane” next door. Certainly not so much more appealing that their personalities wouldn’t be in play.

But those men you are talking about aren’t hot themselves. They are average looking guys who think that average looking, plain Janes, as you call them, are better for them than slightly hotter women. Gorgeous men do not end up with plain Janes. Look at who Paul Newman and Mathew McConaughey and Brad Pitt, etc. ended up with. Those women were not plain Janes. I have never seen a legitimately hot man with a plain wife.

I have tons of friends who were up in arms that plain Jennifer Aniston married Brad.

By the way, this isn’t convincing any of us you aren’t a plain Jane who was passed over.

I’m not trying to convince you about my looks. I will never see you and you will never see me. Who cares what wither one of us looks like? OP said the mismatched looks between these two actors made it too distracting to watch the show. I agree. I don’t think they match at all and I could never see them together in real life.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt match. She’s gorgeous and he’s gorgeous. (Your friends must be blind if they think that she is plain! Her breasts alone are to die for.) Their coloring is alike and they looked adorable together. It was real. They had chemistry. These two actors look ridiculous together. I think they’re both not great looking, but he’s better than she is and they really don’t look like a couple. She is below average.

Their coloring matched? Seriously?

This tells us a lot about you.

Years ago, Omari Hardwick publicly defended his wife when his fans were calling her ugly and saying she looked like Marilyn Manson.

Terry Crews has also had to defend his wife's look. What do these couples have in common?

It’s not about attractiveness but about that and personality. Emma as depicted was a really heavy going

Pp here. I think a lot of Emma’s “heavy goingness” was insecurity. Things didn’t just work out for her because she was attractive, charming and from a well off family. She had to prove herself every step of the way, which is why she was more jaded than Dexter.

I assume Dexter was attracted to Emma’s groundedness and direction. Ok some level, attractive people like Dexter (and the one I dated) can have major imposter syndrome and self worth issues. Being liked - and related to- by someone who was together and smart probably validated him in some way too.

There’s a great 30 rock episode on this topic where Tina fey dates Jon hamm, who lives a charmed existence because of his good looks.

No way. Aniston and Pitt were a true mismatch. That's why I was a Brangelina supporter.

+1. A Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Jennifer and Brad would have been a flat failure, while with Angelina and Brad the movie is fantastic even if it's on mute the entire time.

+2. I was on an airplane ride without headphones once and I watched this movie because I knew it would still be worth it.

It was “worth it” because they’d had a headline making affair and broken up his marriage. Brad Pitt has starred alongside many attractive women and nobody cared about those movies as much as they did about the one that ended his marriage.

It’s the same reason people cared about the notebook as much they did- Ryan gosling and Rachel mcadams had a public off screen relationship.

Nobody really cared about Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robby on wolf of Wall Street, because there was no public relationship. Etc.

Please read the critiques by art critics. The show has Shakespearean undertones. Even religious ones. Dec falls from grace. Emma is his penance. Had there been no atonement there would have been no interest in Emma as there hadn’t been for decades. Plus I didn’t see anyone else lining up.

I know. I think she’s much better looking than he is.

I just had to google and I agree Emma is not very attractive.

I’m Asian American and it is a known fact that many white guys will take or marry Asian girls who other Asian people do not find attractive. You will see an attractive white guy with an ugly Asian girl. Asian guys would crack jokes about this when we were younger. Just at my child’s school there are a few couples where Asian woman is not attractive. Of course there are the normal looking and pretty ones.

Sandra Oh is one example of an Asian woman no Asian people consider pretty. She was linked with hot cardiac surgeon Preston on Grey’s Anatomy.

Pp here. I think some people find other races exotic and may find their features more attractive even if the same race people may not find them attractive.

She’s attractive. She wouldn’t have issues dating anyone as long as she had a good personality!
