I think he looks rugged, but who cares, she loves him that's all that matters.  Good Luck to them both.

Most people favor certain "types",  and chemistry is based in part on a person being pleasing (looking) to you.   I just don't think an ugly man is going to have as many "partner options" as a pleasant looking man.   Most women don't deliberately seek out ugly men, whether you like it or not.  JMO

 

Nevertheless, there's no defining or predicting chemistry between two people.

I can't disagree more. Some of the nicest , friendliest and most popular people I know are not particularly physically attractive. Fortunately, people of value do not value good looks nearly as much as they value good character when choosing friends & lovers.

@151949  I don't see your point here.  People are attracted to one another for a myriad of reason; looks being one of the reasons.  I don't see how you can call anyone "peope of value" when you don't know what they find attractive about another person.  I doubt many people are going out with people they find unattractive.  And looks are simply personal taste.  You see it all the time here.  Lots of men others find "hot" I simply don't.  Not my taste in a man.  Isn't that what makes the world go around?  

 

But I certainly wouldn't date someone I found unattractive.  Or mean.  Or thoughtless.  Or lots of other things. Dating is a whole other thing than being friends, respecting someone, liking someone, admiring someone, hiring someone.  Dating is about attraction: Physical and otherwise.

Re: Pippa Middleton & her guy

The age difference between these two is not all that great.  As for their physical attributes, she is attractive because she has a lovely shape, stylish clothing, and flowing hair.  If she were not the future queen of England's sister, she would not be consider much more than average.  The fact that she wore a form fitting dress (many said without underwear) when she was her sister's MOH, put her in the news. Since then she has kept herself relevant by dating wealthy men.

Wow!! ....  clearly you don't like her ....  do you actually know this woman?    Whether she wore underwear or not means ....  nothing, actually.

 

Just  WHAT  is it that you think Kate's single sister should be doing?   Not have any social life?   If a nice man asks her on a date, she's free to accept or decline.  Are you thinking she should refuse to date any man whom she even suspects has money?   How bizarre.

Wedding soon but she's 33 and he's 41

 

 

I saw the pics and maybe it's just me but they don't look like a "couple".

To me, it's a perfect example of opposites attract.  She's beautiful and he's not so handsome.


He may not be considered Hollywood handsome, but I do not think she is stunningly beautiful.

 

My husband worked in Barbados for a long time and we have many British friends.  For some a connection to royalty is important.  Who knows, maybe he's using her for her connection to the future king and queen.

 

Hasn't she been engaged before?
