Yes, old age will catch up with everyone eventually. Hopefully, we will all have some inner beauty that shines through. It is always funny to me to hear people call other people ugly or weird when in reality they are no beauty queens themselves. I really believe there is something lovely about everyone, and weird is good. Why on Earth would anyone want to be just like everyone else? Everyone is weird in their own way, even if they try to hide it.

I wonder more how obnoxious, a**hole men and shallow, materialistic women are able to marry.

They marry each other.

And, people are going to act differently for someone they love.

By "weird/nerdy" I mean people who you could not even imagine being married.

Just goes to show you that there's someone for everyone...

I can tell from my experiences alone with class reunions, it is usually the nerdy ones who improve with age while the high school lookers lose theirs quickly. Hell, I noticed this even at the 10th reunion! Some of the plain or nerdy kids grew up to become attractive adults.

But I can recall some nerdy or plain'ish kids who were still well-liked. They tended to have personality and confidence. Whether they all truly had confidence or it just seemed that way, I couldn't tell ya. But it sure did seem to work for them, although most didn't have the "popular" lookers knocking down their doors. (And some went on to do more with their lives than many of the lookers.)

Okay, like this girl I went to grammar and middle school with, really nerdy, nobody liked her because she was the teacher's pet and thought she was better than everyone else in our class because of it (that right there is probably the reason nobody liked her, not necessarily her nerdiness), dressed very matronly and still does, even her wedding dress was matronly. She has no sense of style. And she is now married to a pianist/accountant.

How did that happen?

Maybe the pianist/accountant didn't care about her matronly style and but rather her personality, intelligence, whatever else she has. Maybe she's musical and they connect on the musical level. My wife and I connect on many levels that other people don't see in us, and that happens with other couples too. Sometimes what brings people together is the fact they can share with each other something they don't usually share with the rest of the world. In other words, there may be an aspect of herself she never presented to you and your former classmates but that she did to her spouse and that is what caused the initial spark between them.

There are a lot of fat couples, meaning both of them are fat. They're only together because they can't get anyone else.

It's better to be a thin couple.
