what's with the ugly guys plus hot women couples?


I mean seriously is this to make all those retarded middle aged losers think they have a chance to get with good looking women?
What a load of crap we are subjected to. Its about time there ugly, old guys stopped getting cast, they where both like 20 years older. Whats up with that?
Disgusting, like totally.

Are people like your retarded or do you not get the simple concept that physical attractiveness is based on preference?

that was exactly what put me off going to see it. I never was going to sit and watch a movie where 4 fat, old men have marital problems with 4 ridiculously good looking ladies/girls. It is a stupid idea, it's poor Hollywood - men can look however they want but women have to be gorgeous. nu-uh, those men have to be just as gorgeous or those women just as ugly otherwise i am not going to see it.

"It’s just the way it is. Fat dudes ALWAYS get hot chicks (in the movies and on tv)."

But, really, nothing is "just the way it is" for no reason. The reason this has been going on for so long is because we have cultivated a patriarchy and everyone just goes along with it. There is nothing wrong with people calling obvious sexism when they see it, and that's pretty much what this thread is all about. If we continue to shrug our shoulders and say "that's just the way it is", then that's the way it will always be and I'm just not okay with that.


Coach McGuirk: All right, listen up, that was a good game. We all showed up, and I'm proud of that.

As previous mentioned it's just the attitude of sexist Hollywood. This is one of their on going trends and the sad part is that this is one of their oldest annoying trends. Take a look at Hugh Huffner who dates women 1/4 his age. He's not frown upon or anything like that, instead Hollywood praise him. So yes it is very much shallow. It's the shallowness of the same old Hollywood attitude that women must always be sex objects while men are always allowed to look like crap regardless. You want to talk about not being shallow? Why don't they switch it up? Have the middle-age average looking women dating young men who looks like they belong on magazine ads. Or heck have the middle age women good looking and you still rarely see them dating those kind of guys in movies.

This is coming from a guy in his mid 20s by the way. I could only watch so much of Hollywierd's crap trends before it becomes too much for me.

I read some of the earlier comments on this thread and someone mentioned that as people mature, they start to look for personality more than appearance in their potential spouses. I agree with that sentence in general, except i think he/she meant that as an explanation for why these older, unattractive men managed to hook up with gorgeous women - apparently because the women were "mature" enough to appreciate these men's personalities and not mind their lack of looks, so to speak. Now THAT, i don't agree with. Because it's always only THIS way. Always only ugly man with beautiful woman. As everyone else has pointed out, i too don't ever see attractive men appreciating a woman's personality over her outer appearance in a movie. Never! As much as unattractive men are portrayed in Hollywood as funny and successful and irresistible to women, there are also plenty of average-looking women out there with sass and a sense of humour who go unnoticed by the media industry. It's dumb, it's unfair, and sometimes i wonder if movie execs remember that women make up at least half of their box-office sales. Maybe we should go on strike and boycott such movies, plummet their sales and make our point.

thats because women are more interested in power and money than age and looks.

@destinysmile accord! I made it about 30 mins with this one.
It's really pathetic.

This thread is more entertaining than the movie.

What an awful POC.

How naive, guys value beauty (thus, pretty women.) Women value security and the ability to provide for children (thus older men with money.) Always been that way, always will be.

reply

Psh not me. Shallow as they come baby. Bring on the man candy ;) I'm good looking, I better as hell be with someone at least as good looking as me ^_^

Thank you, hooper-xxx, for pointing out my naivete to me and telling me what I value as a woman. I really just want a man to take care of me so I can spit out tons of babies! I don't even know why I bothered going to college, or, for that matter, graduating high school. ...end sarcasm...

You know, I actually do know some guys who value more than just beauty (and sex). I hope there are more of them out there, but the attitudes I'm seeing in this thread are scaring me a little bit.

I think its more you have people like Apatow that were and pretty much still are ugly,losers that probably got beat up in school. So now they make movies where they get the hot chicks.
