What Its Like Dating Someone Whos More Attractive Than You [Intimacy Issues]

-Somebodys hungry!Me. -Ooo, you know what? Lets try
that new place on Ludlow.  -Great! They deliver right? -No, I mean like, actually go to
the restaurant.  -Thats crazy! You dont want to
leave? -Yeah, why? Its beautiful out!
Oh, we can get our steps in!  -I dont know, Im comfy.

-Is there a reason you dont
want to go out?
-Yes. A very specific one.  -So, on the subway yesterday, I
read this GQ article over
someones shoulder.  They were scrolling a little
quickly, but I think I got the
gist.

-How is this important? -Hanna, this concerns the fabric
of our very lives. The article
states that most successful  relationships happen between
people of similar
attractiveness. -So?
-So, we are fundamentally at
risk here.  -What are you talking about,
Paul?
-Allow me to explain.

-Ahh! That's not for yet! Ok, and, God. I took an average
of our profile picture likes,
factored in comments, loves, sads   I was the only one with
sads, that hurt but the results show that you
are 1.62 Points hotter than me
on the 10 scale. -What are you 12 years old? None
of this matters. I think youre
a 10.

-Then how do you explain this? Ah!! Ahh! I DIDNT EVEN DRAW
THAT ONE?!!! Anyhoo, you could see why its
statistically dangerous for us
to leave the apartment. -Ok, so whats the plan? Are we
just gonna never leave?
-Oh, thank God. Im so glad that you said it.  -Paul, I was joking.

This is
stupid.  -What's stupid about isolating
ourselves? Anything we can get
out there we can get in here!  -Ok, so, um what if I want to go
out and I want to go dancing?  -Easy! Alexa! Play dance music!
-Playing Dan Music. Whos Dan?! Alexa stop! Whos
Dan?!  -Dan is my dad! Stop yelling at
my stuff.  -Thank God.

I thought it was
someone who was objectively more
attractive than I am.  -Oh, hey dude!
-Hey! Thanks for letting me
borrow this.   -Oh yeah!
-Yeah! Later, Cory!
 -Alright, later. -What a poignant example of
exactly what Im talking about.

-What? Your math says I should
be with Cory? Come on.  Maybe! But its not about
Cory, its about every Cory!
When I look at that piece of meat, I just see a number  and guess what  its way
higher than mine.  -Paul, this is ridiculous. You
think Im just going out with
you for your looks?  -Um, I did! But even if its not
just about looks, I mean Im a
good guy.

But Im not great. There are way better guys, and
some of those guys have abs.
Fantastic abs.  -Oh my God. Paul, our
relationship is so much more
complex than that.

It's not like I'm gonna go out and bump into some random hot guy and dump
you. Look, you make me grow in
ways that I cant explain. I am gonna get  ready to go to the
restaurant. I hope that youll
come with me.

-Hey, man. Its Cory.
-Hi, Cory. -You know, from earlier?
-I know who you are, Cory.
 -I couldnt help but overhear
your conversation with Hanna.
-Okay -Look, I just went through the
same thing with a girl who was
way more attractive than I was.

So dont sell yourself short. I
mean look man, you got a great
set of abs.  -I purchased these at a Party
City.  -Oh, um.

Come here. Get in here. My man, you are rock hard. -Thats real.
-Thought so..
