I think I really mean "going together" when I said parity.
So you're saying that people that work well together should date?
Sounds pretty controversial to me...
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is why I don't understand the controversy. If you see a couple where one is way better looking than the other, you can be sure there's some other element balancing that out. I mean, right?
In work news, my back-from-vacation boss has yet to give me anything to do, but he is confident he could use me for extra hours next week. @@

I never understand the way people seem to think that they need to point out to you facts about yourself.
or ask you stupid questions like "when are you going to get married" or "why aren't you married". I always want to say "because I so enjoy this line of questioning that I wouldn't dream of finding happiness so that I can always hear it"
oh, and I'm like ita -- you have to give me a clear signal that you want to given a positive response, no matter what the truth is.

Nope. Maybe looks aren't important to their dynamic. Maybe one of them really does have all the power/"good stuff", and that's how they like it.

In my Law of Attraction, there was a subset that said generally women date less attractive men because they view themselves as less attractive than they are while men date more attractive women because men think they are more attractive than they are.

People are lacking in boundaries. Folks who would not dream of opening mail not addressed to them or walking into a person's house unasked will traipse across emotional boundaries without any hesitation.
It is called reserve, people, or at least sense of privacy, and it's the best thing evar!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And maybe their idea of "good-looking" is different than yours. I used to hang with a lot of artists, and they would often find women beautiful who were not classically attractive--women with strong lines to their face or body or a certain grace or whatever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, someone told me this too! That people date their equivalent (physical) attractiveness, and that both genders were "off" but in different directions.
Not something I'd let hold me back.
