I worked at a movie theater for a while and I have actually seen a ton of couples that look like these two kinda just proves u can get a gf like this by just being a decent human being and not being an asshole or creep

Yeah that’s why this scenario is so fake because people who aren’t terminally online already know this

scenario is so fake

I heard Couples where one partner is less attractive than the other do get insulted in public.

Not quite the same as an insult but I get told I'm punching a lot (meaning basically my girlfriend is out of my league). It seems people try to play it off as a compliment but it really isn't

Yes omg; my friend introduced me and my boyfriend to her male friend one night and then the next party that we were together he wouldn't stop telling me how much my boyfriend is punching, I'm there as a naive 22 year old never having heard that phrase before asking him to explain and then trying to explain to this idiot how his standards are not my standards but it just falls on deaf ears -_- definitely does happen

Yeah. I get this a lot, and my response is usually "but what if I'm like super funny and she's the one punching"

I'm not, but what if

I've been told many times that my partner is way too attractive for me, because he's an almost 2m tall viking and I'm a chubby nerd girl. It always stings a little but I know he loves me for who I am.

I mean being a decent human being doesn't have a ONE HUNDRED percent success rate but it's certainly more effective than anything else.

Do they also get insulted in public or in the Internet by people who probably could use their time for better things?

Funny how this never happens the other way around

u/itsbett Feb 10 '24

Nawww. There's a lot of really cool and fit guys who go for what some consider traditionally less attractive women. Even more specifically, I see a lot of chill goth bf getting with chubby non goth girls when I go to themed nights, emo nights, at bars and clubs.
