Why? They married for money, that is why. Don't forget they usually have an AP who nails them at their house while everyone is out. It happens more often than you think.

My friend is attractive and her husband is not. He is really not good looking. He’s a lawyer. She drives around in a Mercedes and her kids go to private school and now private colleges.

IME the pretty wives are also lawyers.

Somehow the shlubby men keep their hair and it turns silver and somehow they look better as they age.

Based on my experience both halves of the couple will look bad. After a certain point, most people just look like old people.

i don't know. I am getting schlubbier by the day and my wife (who is older than I am btw) looks great. I need to get with the program!

It’s exciting!

So here is a video of gorgeous model wives and their DHs ... https://www.facebook.com/reel/561766269845125

I can’t tell what type of person is on this forum, but honestly maybe they really like each other, have fun together. Fell in love because they got along and enjoyed spending time together. A great heart and soul can become extremely attractive. Basic physical beauty only carries so much weight if you don’t have the heart behind it.

Schlubby is a physical Descriptor, like fat and short, roly poly, goofy bald guy.

Then OP tries to claim they are controlled by attractive women.

Ok.

I think Schlubby is just the male version of frumpy. It could mean those things but even a fit guy could be Schlubby in baggy clothes, ugly haircut, etc.

I think men are just more likely to let themselves go after marriage. I think DH and I were equally matched when we married but then he stopped working out and gained a lot of weight.

There are so many TV shows with this pair - nice looking wife, shlubby husband. It's just socially acceptable. Still annoying.

DH is still a good husband but I worry about his health.
