would marry JD or Enoch or . . . well, any of us:
Women seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups.
The reason, researchers suspect, is that men place great value on beauty, whereas women are more interested in having a supportive husband.

New photo of JDs ladies . . . sounds kind of like a 70s TV series, doesn’t it?
Clearly BBR falls into this category. Meet 3-week-old Henry. And with the daughter.
So, $ has nothing to do with it then?
Nope.
Ha!
Well, what about a few nights at the Wynn? I mean with an ugly guy…
You’re such a tease.
Tease? Snork. There was CHOCOLATE!
Hey, are you gonna eat that mint?
Who needed research for this? I lived on this.
Hey, are you gonna eat that mint?
It was more like floated and slid on it.
Oh, m’lady, where does the time go?
It diminishes. Trust me on that one.
I floated the theory to my wife that it might be because they’re not very bright, but she punched me on the arm, so that can’t be right.
If this Photobucket thing works, these will be links to pictures of my 3-week-old Henry. If it doesn’t work, just delete it, Dan…hey, I’m working on no sleep here! No sleep!
Cute family, JD. I always attributed the hot chicks I dated to God’s infinite mercy.
Wasn’t there a story a couple weeks ago that went the other direction?
BBR,
Another cute PW family!
Beautiful family, BBR!
Wait a minute. Are those monkeys on that “onesie”?
RACIST!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Now I know that being prettier than my wife is the problem. No wonder she has no connection to reality…
11 inches …. around. Think about it.
Adorable, JD and BBR. Really really adorable.
Beautiful families, JD and BBR!
Jeffersonian: I always attributed the hot chicks I dated to God’s infinite mercy.
Yeah, me too. I don’t understand it, but I’m eternally grateful for it.
Thanks, guys. Thuy, Kaitlin, and Madeline are all doing well, and probably going home later this evening. I cannot wait to have all of my girls at home. So far, Madeline sleeps, wakes up briefly to eat, takes a colossal dump, lather, rinse, repeat. I those nurses would quit prodding and poking, she wouldn’t cry. So very lucky.
Let’s enjoy a pinch of salt. There has to be a limit, barring the Anna Nicole Smiths of the world, to the level of unattractiveness a woman will put up with. You might see an 8 marry a 5, or a 7 a 3, but mostly it’s gonna be a 6 or 7 marrying a 4 or 5. All women find The Elephant Man’s soul simply gorgeous. Nobody married him.
Additionally, the primping factor has to be brought in. Guys, it’s simply not our job to fuss about looking good, is it? If it was, we’d look and dress better. If we put as much effort into our looks as the average woman does, how much more attractive would we be? I’m not sure, but I think it’s part of the puzzle.
Face it, Smirky. There’s only so much you can do to gussy up a guy, and you reach diminishing returns to scale pretty quickly. Beautiful women are beautiful enough that even other straight women like looking at them. I mean, check out their magazines.
“.. or . . . well, any of us”
Speak for yourself.. As for me, I could totally hook up with and even marry any number of hot young babes.. if I wanted to…
Smirky – On a scale of 1-10, there are at least 6 spots between myself and Better Half, and that is on my good days and her bad days, which are few and far between, so that theory has holes.
Yeah, Smirks. I mean, there’s a whole website about this.
Oh, Claire…would you ever consider dating a guy with elephantiasis of the nuts? I mean if he had a great personality and was a good dancer and had a cool car…Although you’d probably have to ride in the back seat ’cause his nuts would ride shotgun.
If we put as much effort into our looks as the average woman does, how much more attractive would we be?
Well, there’s the metrosexual thing. But waiting around for a man who spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than you do, and has more bottles of “product” falling into the sink than you do, gets real old real fast.
BBR – very cute!
I’ll post images of Declan “Temper” asap.
This doesn’t compute, and I don’t know why…
Face it, guys, women just look better to begin with.
And it’s the only reason we let them live.
Viva la Partriarchy!
Also, congratulations to the Oldies and the Newbies! [I’ve never regreted any of it.]
