How about a hobo?

I am watching TV right now and a Dairy Queen commercial just came on that is yet another example of a trend that has taken over TV. This isn't really a new trend but I haven't ranted about it yet. Apparently TV has decided to try to disrupt the natural order which tends to match up people of equal hotness, intelligence etc. Most of us know this as the number system and frankly I think it has worked fairly well thus far.

There are a lot of TV shows on right now that have a super hot wife and a painfully average husband and we are supposed to believe they are an "average couple". In addition to looks the men on these shows are generally sort of dopey and the wives do a lot of sighing and eye-rolling. In reality this is an 8 married to a 3 which we all know is basically crazy.

The reason that these shows bother me is that if these super hot women are supposed to date/marry the chubby-average-dopey guys, who is an average girl like me supposed to date? A hobo?

Seriously.

Good point Ricky. I really hadn't looked at it from the super hot guy perspective. Thanks!
