[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t necessarily found this to be a “money” thing as most schlubby guys I know aren’t big time high earners. I see this more with HS/college sweethearts who got married and had kids relatively young, and the woman invested in her looks and is high maintenance and the guy is … not. I once saw a viral Twitter post that said something to the effect of, every couple in your small Midwestern home town where she looks like a 27 year old yoga instructor, he looks like a 55 year old retired cop, but they’re really both 36 and I thought that was very accurate.

I am watching a hs sweetheart marriage fall apart right now for this very reason. Hs sophomore girl got infatuated with a hs senior guy. She is a beautiful, beautiful girl 9/10 and he is a cool guy for a small town high school but his looks -- once you put him on a scale that includes everyone and not just the people in this podunk hs -- are going to be about a 6. They start dating. He goes away to college. She pressures him to come back and marry her; he does it and they get married a month after she graduates from hs. The girl grew up in the non-denominational Christian world that supports if not pushes women in the home and not in college or at work. So she starts trying to get pregnant and busies herself learning to make pot roast and cake while he gets construction work. They have very little money. She has a baby. She wants second baby and has it. Get very, very obsessed with Christian mommy instagram and ends up on anxiety meds obsessing over trying to post the perfect pictures. Goes off SM for a bit, but comes back on and gets obsessed and starts coveting the influencers who are posing with pictures of things like LV bags. He works really hard and becomes a plumber and starts making more money. It isn't enough for her. She stops putting pictures of him in her posts because she is embarassed that his looks are a 6 and she is obsessed with looks thanks to the obsession with Insta. Spends time traveling to Ed Sheeran concerts -- even some abroad -- with her Insta friends, leaving her DH and kids behind. Posts lots of travel pictures on SM trying to look glamorous. Just as oldest of the two kids is off to kindergarten (even though she had sworn she would homeschool the kids), she decides she can do a lot better than DH. Which comes later than I expected it to, tbh. Poor guy. And she has zero work skills at 24 because of these ridiculous life decisions.

But yeah, that is a rant about a DW obsessed with appearance whose looks are at about a 9 with an average-looking plumber DH. It's darned close to over though. [/quote]
