Mismatched

We can go on and on about how love is blind, and while that's true,
it's only to a certain extent. Sure, looks don't matter that much once
you get to know someone, but there has to be some sort of physical
attraction for romance to occur in the first place.

Think about all the couples you know, chances are, they look right
together. They just suit each other. But sometimes you come across
couples who look so wrong together that you can't help but do a
double-take when you see them!

Example one: The rather gross middle-aged man with a glamorous younger woman.

When you look at such a couple, you think:
A. He paid for her.
B. He must be really rich.
C. He's really rich AND he paid for her.

Because (to quote teen "Twelfth Night" film adaptation "She's the
Man") "Girls with asses like mine, do not talk to boys with faces like
yours."

Hubby was telling me about this plain, little man he saw the other
night sitting with a young, voluptuous girl who looked so obviously to
be a paid escort. I just find the whole notion both creepy and
hilarious. The creepy part is obvious, but the hilarious part is why
men in such situation have that look on their face which says: "Look
at what I've got!" when everyone knows he just paid for her and she'd
never go anywhere near him for free. What's there to boast about?

Example two: The smart girl with the stupid guy.

Okay, so this example isn't so much based on looks, but it's pretty
common. Basically, the girl tends to be pretty, smart, independant and
has done pretty well for herself. But the guy is a dimwit. Makes you
wonder why on earth she's going out with him. Is it because:

A: He's so overwhelmed by the fact that such a woman would date him
that he worships her and she likes that?
B: He's so stupid that he's easily manipulated by her and she like that?
C: Both of the above?

All I can say is that such relationships cannot really last.
Eventually she's going to get bored of hanging out with someone who
she can't really respect.

Example three: The weird height difference.

Oh, I'm guilty of making a too-loud comment. This was ages ago, prolly
ten years ago, but I remember seeing a ridiculously tall guy with a
teeny, tiny woman walking past me and I turned to the person next to
me and said "how do you reckon they have sex?"

And ooops, me with my big mouth, they heard me and shot me this filthy look.

But seriously, how do you date someone when all you can see when you
look at them is their belly button? Plus, it must be enormous neck
strain to have a pash session (note to non-Australians:
pash=passionate kiss).

Anyway, I can't think of any more examples, but do you have a time
where you saw a couple that just did not look right?
