Anyone having a problem with the main couple...


I know it's hard to believe that a girl as hot as Polly would want to be with someone as nerdy as Seth, but the thing is that most GIRLS get caught up with wanting to be with an attractive boy until they realize that those boys usually are players or good for nothings that may be fun and great to show off but are not someone they want to start a family with. That is also when they realize that the nerdy guy that they have been ignoring is not only gonna most likely be a good supporter for his family but also least likely to stray cause he will be appreciative of her unlike the good looking guy who is used to numerous girls fawning over him.

What are you talking about? I thought the guy looked fine, I'd even say he looked kind of cute. Polly was cute, too, but not this drop-dead amazing person you seem to be going on about. Are you talking about the same film I saw? There was a guy studying for his Ph.d, and his girlfriend/wife. They were a nice looking couple, they weren't mismatched at all. He wasn't even "nerdy" as you put it, just smarter than average.

Or are you talking about the criminals? They seemed a bit more mismatched to me. But then, I don't think anyone would call that lurching meth-head "nerdy" either.

So nope, I just have no idea what you are going on about!

In a couple of the other threads on this board I kept seeing the constant comment about how some people felt that the main couple was a bit of a mismatch, siting that the girl was too good looking for the guy. I personally didn't see what the issue was but I figured I'd try to level with some of those people by saying that some girls either don't or just learn to not pick their mates based on looks.

One cool thing about the flick --- The looks mismatch was immed in my mind - it got resolved.

some hot girls do get tired of hot guys as players, for dumping them when someone even HOTTER than her.

True this.

You're right, I'm sorry that I wasted your time.

I'm sorry but I see not so good looking guys with hot girls all the time. If it was the other way round it would be a mismatch. When was the last time you saw a hot guy with lets say a "bigger" girl. Like never.

In school, I saw a really hot guy who turned heads with one of the biggest (obese) and ugliest girls in that school. I'm from the Philippines btw, just so you get an idea that there are a lot of thin girls here yet he was with this ugly obese girl. Also last year, I was on my way home and I saw this unusual couple, the guy was very good looking, looked like he could be an actor/model with this really really ugly girl. So it does happen.

reply

It does happen of course.

Glad your from a place where hot thin girls are common. Im surrounded by either fat ugly girls usually with fat tucked in everywhere to try to make it look curvy or misshaped girls mostly flat and very unfriendly. But I see good looking guys with the ugliest of girls. Better looking than me with girls I wouldnt even look twice even if I was desperate. People think its just girls or evenly match. If anything its usually unevenly.

I know a guy, hes not great looking or anything but he's 32 and could probably get decent looking girls that go around he's block. Though hes not great looking he can make up for it being that he's a decent guy and wouldnt cheat is loyal and hard working which nothing of the sort is found around. Most girls even date the most degenerate douchbags that leave them pregnant and never hear from them. So this guy who happens to know a lot of attractive women showed me a picture of his girl. Ha! She's 37 and ugly obese. But she's white and he's into that. Also he's skinny. Now I slightly suggested he could do better but he wouldnt give. He told me he wouldnt trade his white girl and that he loves her and that you cant change that. Which is true of course that you can meter love but many times the girls some of these guys are with are ugly both in and out. Even sometimes if they are decent and the guy could do much better these girls are terrible inside and you wouldnt want to be with them but these guys like how these girls treat them whether its like garbage or like a god. either case other girls wouldnt treat them like that and though they are good looking to the outside world they have confidence issues inside. Anyway, one time I saw my friend with a hot girl before he had showed me his girlfriend and he was walking around the park with. I was stun. She looked young, thin, blazing dark, and extremely cute. My thought was like thats the type of girls he should be rolling with. He even came up to me and said hi,

reply

He must be showing off his girl. I was impressed. He didnt even introduce me to hear. I was like no shit. He didnt want me to know his hot girl. Turns out thats his sis. I later went to his house a couple of times try to get him to meet other people and go out and have fun. Turns out his mom didnt like my attitude. I was too wild and upfront. So she made it a point not to have my around her kid. Turns out my friend is a mama's boy. So I dont chill with anymore. But like him I have a lot of examples. I have this group in facebook where these guys argue all the time and think hot people only date hot people and if your not hot your not getting any hot dates and skills dont matter. Its absurd. Turns out most that make that argument are dislike by most, have issues, and arent attractive.

Maybe if she was younger but to me she seemed to be at that point in her life where WOMEN are over that crap, and Seth seemed to really appreciate her so I see no reason for her to want to cheat.

Punctuation. Use it.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

Be honest, when was the last time you ever saw a hot girl with a hot guy (not including celebs)?

Never happens. And yes I had a problem believing she would in any way have fancied him simply because the casting looked too contrived. Not saying that Jesse Metcalfe had to be the boyfriend but he just looked ridiculous.

reply

I didn't have a problem with it at all as it happens in real life, and I believe its people like you with those thoughts that are turning the world incredibly vain and image obsessed sadly.
