I knew a few. One couple I was good friends with the wife, she was late twenties when I met her, stunningly beautiful, professional job, seemed to have her act together. He was early twenties, never had had a steady job, and a complete weirdo dork. I never saw what she saw in him, frankly.
What The Hell Couples

Personally I like seeing fat/ugly people with good looking partners. I just take it to mean that not everyone is shallow and can look deeper than the skin. What I don't get is why someone would choose to be with a dick/bitch, no matter how good looking. Why would you want to purposely subject yourself to that sort of stress and drama? -

Yes, it definitely speaks of two people who care not about looks. I am also sure the situation feeds insecurity, for small that it may be. Either way, the point here is that we all know that most likely this JW couples are less likely to be with each other because of real feelings and more likely because of the influence of the org on where to look for partners. Not denying that true love does happen in this way. We are just talking probabilities.
In my opinion, we evolved to look for beauty in every aspect. Is a survival mechanism. It is well know that, for example, certain silent diseases (like liver and other intestinal and hormonal issues) can reflect in the skin and the overall appearance of a person. In evolutionary terms, we would be programmed to look for the healthiest and strongest mate available thru their outside appearance. Once we poor love into the equation, then having a friendly relationship with someone we are not attracted to, can lead to further involvement, thus confirming that we can not love what we don't know. It is my opinion as well that we could potentially fall in love with anyone, if given enough time to get to know them. Is just that we do not give ourselves that chance, we just tend to follow beauty.

I think we should be happy for any guy who lands someone traditionally "out of his league". We should all be as lucky. Why would we feel anything else or be so judgmental?

Lol Vidiot! I met him during a Sundance Festival in Park City Utah. The guy is a moron, but fun. Sort of like those idiots that scateboard off tall buildings and break their legs in order to be YouTube sensations. Idiots yes, but great entertainment! -

I know of a couple that have been married for over 15+ years guy was in his mid twenties she was in her late forties at best back then maybe even fifty. Pretty decent shape for her age but man did she not age well. Two things come to mind, if she would of been level headed and honest with him she should of just told the guy thanks for the compliment but look for someone your age right ? He himself being a handsome young man, bethel material at the time he had the cream of the crop to choose from. I sure wouldn't want to be in his shoes today. Lots of young buck / older cougar couples up this way, wonder what it is. You do see more young guy / older woman couples then the old guy with cute young thing deal, in the org that is. Strange place indeed, they were led to believe that the system would only last a few more years and then everyone would be young again.. I would never subject a woman to such an age difference, just not cool. +5 or -10 max in my case anything more no way no thanks. -
