[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are mismatched couples by looks yes. But there something: money, charm, selflessness. Emma is a humorless pain. I can see him with Tilly before Emma[/quote]

This. Emma in the series didn't show anything that would make his attraction to her make sense. She was unattractive, whiny, humorless, and aimless. Anne Hathaway did a much better job in this role. I will say that the series did get better after the first couple episodes. The actor who played Dex knocked it out of the park.

The actress who played Tilly did a great job. She was bubbly, fun, sensual. It was easy to see how a guy could be really attracted to Tilly. Looks don't have to be even, but generally there's something else like personality, money, accomplishments, responsibility, or *something* that makes the hot, wealthy person fall for the much less attractive one.[/quote]

I think some of this may be a British vs. an American sensibility.  Emma is sharp and witty, and that seems to count for more in British circles than American circles.  She's not conventionally attractive, but she's not ugly, either, and an attraction to someone who's not conventionally attractive is what makes Dex more interesting as well.  If he's just falling for a beauty, he seems more vapid (and he first hooks up with Sylvie, who is quite gorgeous, when he's still clubbing and living a posher, more debauched, life).  [/quote]
