All this weird shit about “is Bridgerton normalizing mixed-weight relationships” is kind of ignoring that most TV romances are between two hot people and Nicola Coughlan is really hot
Avatar
Also notice the difference is never an issue when the guy is the one who weighs significantly more and that's been a trope since TV

Jesus so many schlubs w smoking hot partners. God bless Ed O'Neil but there isn't anywhere in the multiverse where he pulls Sofia Vergara.

Totally! The whole Peg Bundy phenom is weird - she's super attractive! Al is a complete loser!

Role was originally offered to Roseanne Barr which makes some things more understandable but it is ultimately much funnier with Katey Sagal.

I think it kind of works to convey what a dirtbag Al is that he’s married to someone out of his league in every way and is still sort of “awww the ol ball and chain” about her

That makes so many other things make more sense and they never really pivoted away

“Mixed-weight couples” is a disturbing phrase. And yes, I could name at least 6 sitcoms off the top of my head that star schlubs or idiots with pretty wives.

He double dips with Katey Sagal even But they did go out of the way to try to make her unattractive

That was my thinking, as a fat woman, that weight is only one factor most people use in rating attractiveness. Being fat doesn't automatically make one a 3. Also, where is this discourse when the male member of the couple is the fat one?

And in those cases the man is almost always generally less traditionally attractive, not just fatter

And also portrayed as less intelligent than his wife.

My incredibly unpopular opinion is that Colin was just incredibly boring and that’s what was wrong with it? Nicola Coughlan is gorgeous and brilliant but even she couldn’t make up for the lack of charisma.

Boring AND self-righteous and utterly devoid of humour. No way in the world he would be a match for her.

“Mixed-weight relationship” is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard about in a while and it’s 2024 so that’s saying something

Luke Newton has a brow like a gutter ledge and Nicola has immaculate tits

There's some good points elsewhere in the thread about the hypocrisy of "mixed-weight relationships" being fine the other way around, but it also bears mentioning that not only are you right, but that she'd be regarded as the hottest one in the cast in the period depicted, as body norms have changed

Wait is *that* why this phrase has been so prevalent lately? Oh lord lol

I hate to see Dangermouse embarrassed like this.

That's Danger Mouse, never met your heroes

He won’t. It’s easier to be a coward and troll from behind some cartoon avatar. It’s all a pathetic stunt for clout, as he clearly has none. 😞

Damn right I won't! I know better than to enable doxxers.

But not enough not to shit on people, I guess.

Doing that IS knowing better.

Who'd you copy that retort from?

Well it stands to reason! Jonathan here has only been in “mixed-orgasm relationships.” And Jonathan, since you are exceptionally obtuse even for an incel, I’m going to be really clear here: I’m implying that you are bad at sex and nobody wants to fuck you, so your opinion is irrelevant.
Avatar
Why are you so hard-up that you brought sex into the discussion?
Avatar
What's "you're bad this" supposed to mean?
Avatar
That was a typo and it was still less embarrassing than a comeback that uses the word “retort” LMAO

1) He’d probably nut in 10 seconds. 2) Why would you lower yourself for this low-value individual?
