Hollywood pairs hot women with plain guys again and again

Let's see, thin and dorky Jay Baruchel this year has gotten hooked up with hot, thin blonde women in She's Out of My League and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

John C. Reilly got paired with Marissa Tomei in Cyrus.

Jesse Eisenberg hooked up with Emma Stone in Zombieland.

Seth Rogen got Katherine Heigel in Knocked Up.

Jack Black romanced Kate Winslet in The Holiday.

Would any of these couples exist in real life? Probably not.

Do you ever see a plain or overweight woman end up with a stud? Nope.

Is this because most of the producers/writers/directors are men and these men might be overweight or nerdy and have fantasies about hooking up with thin and beautiful women? I'm guessing yes!

Heaven forbid that women stop being so shallow and spoilt to date a normal *beep* person.

What world do you live in OP? I personally know many attractive people dating people you would deem as being 'unattractive'. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what you think is 'plain' may be considered hot to others. I personally am a fine physical specimen, I wouldn't mind dating obese women.

He's funny, too. There's a lot to be said for someone who can make you laugh.

But then people would complain about too many pretty people being attracted to other pretty people and finding the entire concept unrealistic and moronic.

I've got an ignore list longer than a Chinese pone book.

I can just about see Winslet and Black as a couple, but the rest? In real-life only if he has a lot more money than she does.

Maybe it's because if you put a plain woman in a movie a woman will say, "Why is she in a movie and not me? I'm better looking."
