SchadenfreudePersonified "I know looks are the least important thing when it comes to being a good person etc, but when push comes to shove you rarely see a mismatched couple (in terms of gorgeousness*) because people tend to gravitate to others that are like themselves who they feel comfortable around.
Except for rich people and their trophy spouses."
100% agree. A similar level of 'gorgeousness' is a very good indicator of whether couples will work out. I think it is some sort of primitive mating thing.
The best example of this is 'First dates' on tv. You can see couples getting along on a single date and their level of attractiveness often works in their favour.
In Married at first sight, I think in the currant series Alycia is too attractive for Matt (no spoilers!!!)
And in series 3 i think Dave was actually too attractive for Jess. Actually, part of attraction is confidence. So when Jess was very confident Dave was attracted to her.
She let her guard down too soon, day 2 or 3 I think. Way too soon. Ultimately, we do need to show our partners our true selves but they do need to be invested enough to stay! Too many early revelations will put somome off.
Poor Dave. Jess burst his bubble then got angry and expected him to apologise.
Likewise, Andy was way above Craig in looks and Craig expected not to have to work for affection or intimacy. I find that appaling.
If Andy had been a woman and Craig a straight man who expected a greater level of intimacy straight away, we would probably all feel a bit uncomfortable.
