Did you just call Sarah Silverman hot? Are you seri-- you know what, no. No more words. Only vomit and loathing.

Awww, my lobster and i have the same (dis)taste in women!

Wow, it didn't take long to get to the Silverman bashing, did it?

I had a dream a few years back, right when Sarah Silverman's TV show on Comdey Central started, where Sarah and I kept making out and eventually "got it on."

It was totally random. I never watched the show, so I guess all those ads during the "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" had an effect, just not the desired one.

While Sarah Silverman can look very cute and no doubt has a fantastic body, something tells me it has more hair on it than the floor at Great Clips.

This entire thread was pointless. I mean, no shit? Rich and famous guys can find "love" with cute girls?!? Why the fuck didn't I think of that. Wait a sec, is this why rock stars get so much tail when they go on tour?

As an overweight schlub myself, I can attest to the truth of this. Mrs. myjetski, as the most recent example, is a fine, fine specimen of femininity. Waaay out of my league. I think it's because I'm funny and look like a picture of your dad from the 70s. However it happens, I'm all for it.

Also, personality-wise, Leah Remini in KoQ is no catch. Of course he could get her. Let's remember, though, she's probably bangin' Ferringno on the side. Guilty pleasure, that show.

Please don't hit me.

I've seen this go both ways in real life couples, where either the man or the woman is much better looking than their partner. Some people may not be very good looking but just have charisma. Does it happen all the time? No, but it does happen with or without fame and money.

Don't care...,
Next!

Clive Owen

Sometimes money trumps fat, ya know?

I would like to thank the naysayers for reminding me that women are only interested in a man for his money and/or status, and that his personality has no impact on his level of attractiveness. For indeed, how could a woman who has spent THAT much time getting pretty (obviously, their cheif concern in life) possibly be interested in any of these men were it not for their fame and fortune? For a moment there, I nearly forgot that women are incapable of making decisions that aren't based on shopping.

Now you'll excuse me; I have to continue working in order to make 'dat money so I can keep my ridiculously-shallow wife happy.

I call shenanigans.

Give me a list that consists of people who don't spend time on the red carpet in front of hundreds of photographers.

By the way how many relationships has each of those fat "schlubs" been in before?

Rereading I realize that's contradictory. I meant: you might generally be treated better and have more fun with a person who's had to be more than just a pretty face.

And ... dare I go there? I dare:

Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie

At least Brad doesn't make you want to send him a CARE package.

Mrs. Julien, I'm wondering if they married before Clive's nosejob (see the Bourne Identity).

I went through a phase when I would watch those "Two ton man" TV shows, and there was one about a young man somewhere in Latin America who weighed about a ton. A prettyish, woman with a child wanted to marry him and take care of him. Everyone was aghast that she wanted to marry him. He was thrilled, and started loosing weight. He said he couldn't wait until they could have children together and she made a yucky face. I got the distinct impression that she just liked taking care of someone and talking to someone, but that she didn't ever want to have sex again or have a man dominate her. If the fat man ever lost enough weight to even find his penis, I bet she'd leave him instantly.

Now, granted, this is whole different level of fat guy with cute girl, but it seemed that on all those "Two ton man" TV shows, the marriages were never consumated, and the wives seemed to be enablers. I just cannot get into that mindset.

And Kevin James' real wife is really hotter than Winona Ryder? Yeah, golddigger.

BWeaves - Hugh Jackman definitely.

She's a famous actress in Australia and more famous than him when they met.

Dunno - most of them look pretty normal to me, except, of course, Kevin James & his wife.

Is the question broken down further to "average weight" woman & "over weight" man?

or is it "outrageously hot woman" with "rich, schlubby probably humorous guy"

Having said all that, let's face it, men have never had to be AS attractive as women to get laid. It certainly helps to be attractive, but it's not a deal breaker, if you have other things that are attractive to women (a nice car, ie, money).

Women have been taught (well, most of them, anyway) to value earning potential over looks. And fiction has taught them to value intangible qualities like "manliness" over almost everything else. So when they're looking for someone to bang, they go for the hot assholish guys. When they're looking to marry and reproduce, they settle for the shlumps. Then they start banging the hot guy at work or some dude at their gym, etc.

It's not that there are no exceptions, I'm sure there are tons of non-Hollywood pairings where the wife is pretty hot and the husband is a fat load. I can't think of any off the top of my head, most of the real-world couples I know are either both reasonably attractive or both not so attractive.

Celebrity couples where the wife is less attractive than the husband:

Whats his name and Tori Spelling.
Jon Hamm and the chick who played Jessica Stein
Ellen deGeneres and Portia DeRossi

I’m going to assume that “famous people” and “ridiculously good-looking people” both, as groups, get tired of being treated like trophies. Everyone wants to be appreciated as humans with layers. So if a Normal meets a Somebody and treats them like an Anybody, I imagine it is a relief. Plus, funny is sexy as hell.

But there is no excuse for Sarah Silverman. Unless you sew her mouth shut.

Mrs. Julien-

Was it George Plimpton's erudite therapist character in GOOD WILL HUNTING? "No more...shenanigans, no more tomfoolery, no more ballyhoo." Vampires are not involved but he does say "shenanigans" with an inordinate amount of relish.

I'm sure being rich and famous had nothing to do with it.

I’ve been overweight my entire life and I’ve never had a problem with attracting and dating cute women despite my boorish behavior here at pajiba. I’d tell any man that it’s basically not up to you so stop stressing, either a woman is looking for substance or style. I don’t care if a guy has six pack abs, a nine inch cock, and a boat load of money, eventually if the guy is an asshole the woman will get tired of him. Here are some of my tips when it comes to dating cute women.

Pookie’s tips

1. Never talk about sex unless she brings it up in a conversation, and if she does, quickly change the conversation.

2. Before you go on a date with a cute woman, jerk off, because that will get that horny look out of your eyes.

3. Speak softly and quietly because that will force her to pay attention to what you are saying.

4. If you are going to the movies, say to her you can pick this one and I’ll pick the next one. Trust me she will laugh and think you have a sense of humor.

5. Never, never, never underestimate the power of sarcasm.

6. Under no circumstance will you allow her to pick up the tab.

You just know I'm going to yell it out at 3 am.

Please post it if it does pop into your head.
It is now driving me insane that I can't think of it, either.

Agree with B Weaves:

Celebrity couples where the wife is less attractive than the husband:

1. Clive Owen
2. Hugh Jackman
3. Aaron Johnson
4. Elton John

and two more

Jeremy Northam
Pierce Brosnan

T.I. and his wife "Tiny."

The term "fugly as fuck" springs to mind.

@Kballs: You were looking at her face? I bet he doesn't.

Show me a list that consists of Fat regular guys that have hot chicks.
Not fat famous guys that have money.

You're telling me Kevin James would land that babe if he were a middle class Office manager??

The answer is hell no.

OK, I'm going to say what many guys say when they see an ugly chubby chick with a handsome dude:

Jack Black must give a great blowjob.

We have this cheesy entertainer/magician over here in the UK called Paul Daniels, who is slightly over 5' tall, has a squeaky voice, bears a startling resemblence to a wizened gnome, and is at least 25 years older than his wife, Debbie McGee, who was at one time his "glamorous assistant". She was once interviewed on a (spoof) talk show and the first question the hostess asked her was, "So, Debbie, what first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?"

Pictures like those above make me think of that question.

I have known men and women who are thickset who have hot partners. It's largely a matter of charm and confidence on the part of the burlier person, but also a matter of their partner's taste. As hard as it is for some people to believe, tastes vary, and some folks like rounder body types.

I would also posit that almost no guy who was a schlub and an unremitting dick all the time would hold onto a hot girl for very long, no matter how cute he was. Then again, I could be totally wrong. Some folks like to be abused.

So if a Normal meets a Somebody and treats them like an Anybody, I imagine it is a relief.

Yep. I told a super-hot guy he was being a stupid jerk. He was stunned, but agreed and cut it out. We hung out for a few days before I found out he was Somebody. He said it was nice to be just him for a while.

Listen, my wife is hot, I mean supermodel hot, and I just have to say ...

Actually nothing. I have nothing to add to the discussion. I just wanted to boast about my wife.

I always thought Phillip Seymour Hoffman was gay...

Look, using a list like this is of course going to throw into doubt the issue of money, fame and success. Dustin even says it in his write up.

But I can look at plenty of examples out of my real life that prove highly attractive women can and do fall for fat dudes. Just like women can be "pretty fat" guys can be "handsome fat". Id certainly say Mr Hoffman falls in that category. Even Mr James. Furthermore, Mr Black and Mr Hill are both interesting to look at and not unattractive.

Having a little extra heft (as none of these men are grossly obese) isnt a negative factor in attractiveness.

I think the issue in movies is not that the guy is unattractive, it's that he's a total loser and not even a particularly nice person + unattractive. These guys have nada going for them, yet still get the hottie with the world at her feet. Hot girls date ugly guys in real life, but they don't date ugly guys whose only belongings are some pot and a guitar they can't play.

Do we live in a fucking attractiveness feudal system? How dare anyone marry or have sex above what we arbitrarily deem to be your lowly position in society! If you do, there must ultimately be another reason, be it money, fame, or the gift of really nice shoes.

I was expecting pics of plumbers and construction workers with cute wives... this is just celebs.
Hell celebs can get cute women at any age, body size or level of attractiveness.

Mrs. Julien, I can hear that, too. Was it Roddy McDowall in "Fright Night"?

Your first line made me laugh out loud, madam. The specifications of "shenanigans", "arch" and "campy" have now brought Bill Nighy's character in "Underworld" movies to mind.

See "Fright Night" sometime. It's campy 80s run and Chris Sarandon is delicious.

Mrs. Julien - Richard Roxborough as the Duke in Moulin Rouge.

"And if there are any shenanigans...my manservant, Warner will deal with it in the only way you underworld show folk understand..."

Am I right? I'm right, right?

Jack Black could get anyone with that moustache
