I was expecting a contrast along the lines of Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts, or Charlize Theron and the guy she's squeezing. I've seen god knows how many couples where they are polar opposites in terms of looks, but obviously that's from my subjective perspective. Clearly theirs is obviously unique to them as mine is to me, and they undoubtedly find each other attractive. I myself wouldn't see it, but I wouldn't blame them for not giving a shìt what I think. If I'm attracted to someone the only person I would hope gives a shìt is the person I'm attracted to, and I'd be hoping that feeling was mutual... :pac: TL:DR: Specsavers!

And the idea that a goodlooking woman wouldn't date a less goddlooking man..unless she's 'crazy' or has something else wrong with her..is a bit pathetic.

He's some whinging very cut price Woody Allen type. Woody Allen was/is talented, extremely bright, oh and powerful in his industry and rich. Him pulling Diane Keaton(among others) back in the day, not a big shock. Oh plenty of good looking women go out with less good looking men and no "crazy" required, but as a near given thing, they're "equal" in more general terms. Numerous studies have shown that men and women tend to end up with partners who are pretty equal on the attractiveness scale. Where outliers occur, it's nearly always because the man has more social "value". So richer than average, more socially "powerful" and so on. Would rich and (in)famous Mick Jagger have a 30 year old pretty girlfriend(and newborn) if he was a pensioned off office worker in the suburbs? Extremely unlikely. Nothing crazy about her either. Has a kid with him and her child and her will want for nothing in life because of it. Quite sensible actually, if a tad cynical. Would Jimmy Page have a 20 odd year old girlfriend if he was a suburban 71 year old? He would not. Not a hope.

most men can see passed a pretty face/nice body to the batsh1t crazy and bonkers that may be lurking within.

Please shut up and never talk to me again. Wearing spandex to have a body shape. Why are you trying to fool me or lie to me? Of course I want to go to bed with someone who has a reasonable body not someone who's suddenly a few pounds heavier. Softness. I like a woman with will and grit. Not someone who cries and panics at any situation going awry. Nothing more attractive than a woman who is assertive and nothing more unattractive than a woman who plays up to the stereotype of being helpless but in some way is happy to live that role as it gives them an excuse not to do a number of things. "I wouldn't be strong enough for that" "I'd be too emotional doing something like that" blady blady blah yeah whatever.

On the slippers front he has a delightful slippers/dressing gown combo for weekend mornings which he wears as we make breakfast. I only really know about the shoe laces because he was recently injured meaning I had to tie his shoes for him in the morning and he wasn't happy unless they were as tight as humanly possible (he made me redo them a few times). Can't say I've noticed it previously in all the years we've been together so all in all, its not a deal breaker for me
