A very common trope, particularly in animation and sitcoms, is for a woman to be far more attractive than her significant other. This is largely a result of Hollywood-style casting for women's roles in which average-looking women are virtually unknown, leaving a large number of hotties needing work. Therefore even [[Hollywood Homely]] women who aren't supposed to be gorgeous are portrayed by supermodel-class women. Similar cases are almost unheard of for men. Since "average joes" and "funny fat guys" can still get work (especially when they're the producer as well as the lead), this pervades almost all forms of media, making this one of the most wide-spread cases of a [[Double Standard]] around.
Line 11 ⟶ 9:
A popular use of the trope is to have the hot wife be beautiful on the outside only, and on the inside she's a [[Manipulative Bitch|manipulative]], [[Gold Digger|materialistic]], spiteful bitch who doesn't deserve her [[Henpecked Husband]]'s kindness, especially if he is just a [[Meal Ticket]] for her. This could lead to [[An Aesop]] that looks aren't everything and that appearances are often deceptive ([[Unfortunate Implications|Although, this isn't so great on several levels when you think about it]]).

{{examples}}
== Advertising ==
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] and celebrated in an ad campaign for fast-food chain Del Taco: "Here's to every 4 who married a 10."
* In a line of beer commercials featuring football referees, one poor guy was penalized for "Disproportionately hot girlfriend!"
* A recent{{when}} ad for Kohler depicts a beautiful young woman grappling with the attention of several handsome young men, but unable to chose between them. She comes home one even to find that her schlubby, balding plumber has installed an exquisite Kohler faucet in her kitchen. The next scene is of them getting married, with the man absolutely ecstatic and the three young men she had shunned looking completely flabbergasted.
Line 28 ⟶ 25:
* In the manga of ''[[Air Gear]]'', the incredibly ugly Onigiri proves a huge hit with the ladies in an air trek aerobics program, and has an incredibly attractive and borderline obsessive girlfriend. Then she dumped him... for the gigantically fat Buccha. And then she dumped ''him'' for a guy who was somehow even ''fatter''. Little parts of Onigiri and Buccha died after the experiences.
** This example illustrates yet another potential problem with this setup. If you're a big fat guy who manages to land a hot girl with a fat fetish, you're in serious trouble when somebody bigger comes along.
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' (the provider of this page's image) plays this trope on the personality axis—the creepy <s>[[Lolicon]]</s> [[Ephebophile]] teacher Kimura-sensei is revealed, to his students' amazement, to be married... and his [[Memetic Mutation|waifu]] is lovely, to boot. As the students theorize that she must be a real harpy, Yukari-sensei instead predicts—correctly, as it later turns out—that she must be a saint in order to put up with him. It also helps that she is a [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
* While not married, worth noting is Danjuro Eiga & Miyako Miyazaki of ''[[Bamboo Blade]]''. Miyako is a bombshell, while Danjuro has a head shaped like an acorn. To top it off, "Miya-Miya" (as Danjuro calls her) is very loyal to her man, having joined the kendo club solely to be with him, and also deathly afraid of letting the darker side of her nature become known to him.
** It should also be noted that Kojiro stated that an ugly man should have a hot girl [http://www.mangareader.net/668-33072-17/bamboo-blade/chapter-4.html here]
Line 54 ⟶ 51:
* [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|George Ushiromiya's]] parents are Hideyoshi and Eva. Eva still looks good despite pushing 50, while Hideyoshi looks his age and is quite pudgy. However, this is played with in that Eva is a [[Rich Bitch]] and Hideyoshi is a [[Nice Guy]] who married into the family. The surprising part? They ''[[Happily Married|actually love each other a lot]]''.
* In ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', following a timeskip, Dayakka and Kiyoh are married. Also, Makken is the husband of the [[Hot Scientist]], Leite. They even have three kids together.
* [[Big Bad]] Shishio and his (consort?) Yumi from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]''. His entire body is burned and charred, and he goes around almost completely covered in bandages. She's really beautiful and totally devoted to him. Observe [https://web.archive.org/web/20090222071125/http://www.onemanga.com/Rurouni_Kenshin/68/11/ here].
* {{spoiler|Tokita and Atsuko}} in ''[[Paprika]]''. She's the protagonist and Hot Scientist; he gets stuck in standard size elevator doors.
* Pretty Wanda and her [[Gonk]] boyfriend eventually end up [[Married At Sea]] in ''[[Pokémon Special]]''. At the very least, we know that the boyfriend is a sweet guy since he made sure not to disrupt the easily scared Whismur when digging at Rustboro cave.
Line 60 ⟶ 57:
* Dozle Zabi and his wife, Princess Zenna, from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]''. [[The Brute|Just look at the guy.]] To his credit, he's [[Happily Married|a loving husband]], a [[Daddy's Girl|doting father to his daughter Minerva]] and [[A Father to His Men]].
** Indeed, [[Genius Bruiser|Dozle]] is [[Evil Chancellor|the]] [[Nietzsche Wannabe|most]] [[The Vamp|normal]] [[The White Prince|guy]] in [[Deadly Decadent Court|their]] [[Royally Screwed-Up|whole]] [[Dysfunction Junction|family]].
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** Wapol
** There is also King Nepture and his wife Princess Otohime. This is what [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101000013/http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-611/page010.html he looks like] and what [https://web.archive.org/web/20141004085320/http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-622/page005.html she looks like]. We can see where [[The Ugly
*** Adding to the fishmen and merfolk concept; Keimi and Hachi. They aren't technically a couple, but Keimi - a cute mermaid - does seem to have a crush on Hachi, who is a six armed octopus fishman and far older than her. This is one of the [[No Hugging, No Kissing|few canon crushes]], by the way.
*** Pretty much every fishman/mermaid and so far merman/mermaid couple falls under this. Also considering the almost random nature of seafolk genetics, and the fact that Queen Otohime was somehow able to give birth to Shirahoshi, this might also fall under [[Bizarre Alien Reproduction]] and [[Bizarre Alien Biology]].
** "Ugly" might be the wrong word to describe Vinsmoke Judge (after all, he's never been seen without his helmet, which covers the upper half of his face), but he's a brutish and ferocious-looking man. His wife Sora (now deceased) was a beautiful woman with perfect skin, dark blue eyes, and wavy shoulder-length blonde hair. This was clearly a case of [[Beauty Equals Goodness]], for while Sanji despises his father [[Abusive Parent|(for good reason)]] he was very close to his mother.
** Don Sai isn't as ugly as some other [[Gonk]]s in the series, but he's not good-looking either, with an oversized mouth, unkempt sideburns and a potbelly with no defined abs on his usually-shirtless torso (despite being ''very'' strong). As of chapter 881, he and Baby-5 (the [[Ms. Fanservice]] of the Dressrosa Arc) have married, and are very much in love.
** True for most World Nobles. Most of the males are ugly, fat, and deformed, mostly due to inbreeding, the only one who could be considered handsome being Donquixote Homing (and Donquixote Mjosgard was ''much'' uglier before his [[Heel Realization]] before the [[Time Skip]]; it seems growing a conscience can do wonders for a World Noble's appearance). Regardless, all known female World Nobles are far more attractive than their husbands, although to be frank, all of them (Homing's wife being the exception here too) are just as rotten.
* In just about every single work by Adachi Mitsuru, the heroine's parents are this. The heroine gets all of her looks from her mom since it just wouldn't make sense for anything male to want to get in your pants when you get your looks from "that." Heck, sometimes it would only make sense if the mom had cheated somewhere in their marriage. This would, of course, make the heroine [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]].
* Played with in [[Tenjho Tenge]]. While Souchiro's mother Makiko Natsume is [[Hot Mom|naturally beautiful]], [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|the horrible scars]] [[Scars Are Forever|marring her face]] make for a strange inversion of the trope since {{spoiler|her ex-husband Sohaku}} is now more attractive than her.
* Antonio and Margarita in ''[[El Cazador de la Bruja]]''. Antonio is average looking and a bit portly, though he does have blond hair and blue eyes. Margarita is drop dead gorgeous, sexy, exotic, and always dressed stylishly and made-up impeccably.
== Comic Books ==
Line 110:
* ''Any'' movie with Seth Rogen in it. Voodoo is probably involved. (Although ''Knocked Up'' played it for laughs.) He quite recently lost weight and toned up, though, so time will tell how he looks compared to his next female costar.
** Superbad was probably the earliest example of Seth Rogen looking good (despite the cop mustache). Ironically this was one of his roles where he did ''not'' play a lead and did ''not'' hook up with a gorgeous blond.
* The [[John Wayne]] western movie ''War Wagon''. The youngest member of the gang gets snarled at when he smiles at what he thinks is the [[The Ugly
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] all the time in the case of [[Austin Powers]]. Austin is probably one of the least attractive male characters in all of the films, but is apparently seen as highly attractive by almost all female characters.
** When his former partner's daughter questioned her about this, she explained that in [[The Sixties]] he was cock of the walk because of attitude rather than looks. As to why he still is in the present day....
Line 133:
* ''The Postman Always Rings Twice'' in both the original and the 1981 remake. Beautiful Cora, the main female character, was married to an ugly, old, boring husband. She was played by Lana Turner (1946) and Jessica Lange (1981) respectively, arguably two of the most sexy women of their time.
* Not quite the same since they're not married, but Riff-Raff in ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' has the smoking hot Magenta as his lover, though by conventional standards he's unattractive himself (very thin, balding, hunchbacked etc).
* Hideously deformed anti-hero [[The Toxic Avenger]] and his knockout of a girlfriend Claire. Granted, she is - initally - blind, but even after regaining her vision via surgery, she thinks Toxie is the handsomest hunk alive.
== Literature ==
Line 169:
* [[John Le Carre]]'s [[The Quest for Karla|George Smiley]] (described in his earliest appearances as a "frog" or a "toad") and his [[May–December Romance|much younger wife]], Lady Ann. As things turn out, Ann spends most of the marriage [[Really Gets Around|sleeping with other men.]]
* [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s ''[[Heralds of Valdemar]]'' books presents petite, sweet faced, and generally harmless-looking Queen's Own Herald Talia; and the love of her life Herald Dirk who is big, strong, has a lovely voice and (at least in Talia's opinion) beautiful eyes... but beyond that is explicitly described as homely at best. A major complication during ''Arrow's Fall'' was his [[Poor Communication Kills|inability to realize]] that she would prefer him over his far more handsome highborn friend Herald Kris.
* In ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'', the King of Laputa (and most of the nobility) are pretty ugly [[The Caligula|(not to mention incompetent)]] due to [[Evil Makes You Ugly| their obsessions]] with mathematics, astronomy, and musical theory. Their heads have become stuck reclined to one side, and they often suffer from strabismus: one eye turns inward and the other looks up "to the zenith". The king's wife, however, is very beautiful, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laputa#/media/File:Willmann,_Colin,_&_Outhwaite,_the_Queen_of_Laputa,_cph.3b18906.jpg as this illustration shows.] Sadly, she does not love him in the least; all of Laputa's rulers are too engrossed in their obsessions to learn that their wives are adulterers who are using their husbands' lack of attention to carry on affairs with their more loving servants.
== Live Action TV ==
Line 191 ⟶ 192:
** Audrey Meadows, during a TV interview (it may have been a special after Gleason died), said she wanted the part of Alice but Gleason, seeing her stills, decided she was "too attractive." So she arranged for a friend to bust in with a camera at an unspecified time of night, wake her, and take her picture, no makeup, bleary eyes and all. The rest is history.
** Despite the [[Race Lift]], the movie version plays this trope straight also. Ralph Kramden is played by Cedric The Entertainer. Alice? The ''insanely'' gorgeous Gabrielle Union.
* ''Raymond'' copycat ''[[The King of Queens]]'' is reasonably interesting in this regard. Star Kevin James? Average in looks department and overweight. Hot wife? Leah Remini, who despite fluctuating weights in some seasons, is overall a [https://web.archive.org/web/20120505131241/http://www.wallpapergate.com/data/media/124/Leah_Remini_004.jpg Maxim cover-girl worthy model]. This is arguably the show's most famous trait to casual watchers.
** Kevin James also serves as a [[Real Life]] example, as his wife is model Steffiana De La Cruz. Of course, in real life, James is a rich and famous comedian, not a delivery man like in his show.
** Kevin James' character also snags the "hot girl" in the film [[Hitch]].
Line 215 ⟶ 216:
*** Although, Don was shown dating at least one very attractive female after he and Sally broke up.
** And in one episode it turns out that her attraction is entirely thanks to Don being a cop, which they both realize after several dates with him out of uniform severely lower Sally's interest.
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'' has Bob Pinciotti... who, not only started the series with a hot wife (played by Tanya Roberts), but also had a romance with Jackie's mother (played by [[Brooke Shields]]). At some point he even was seeing both of them at the same time.
* A [[Gender Flip]] in the British sitcom ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'', which sees plump Dawn French paired with tall, dark and brooding Richard Armitage—granted, she's the protagonist, and it was only in the season finale, but still. In [[Real Life]], Dawn French was married to Lenny Henry. The show played a little with the issue. Her significant weight gain and eventual loss was even made part of the storyline. So this can depend on which episode you watch.
* ''[[Will and Grace]]'' poke fun at this, with Jack and Karen searching for a new sitcom after the finale of [[Sex and the City]]. Whilst they are channel hopping, they spin through several "Fat guy, skinny wife" shows before hitting upon a "Ugly guy, skinny wife" show.
{{quote|'''Karen:''' "Ugly guy, skinny wife? * shakes head* No, America is not ready for that just yet."}}
* A show about women's sex lives and the toys they used to enhance it featured one couple that seemed to be a middle-aged British woman who was probably rather pretty ten years ago and a Spanish or Italian male underwear model in his early to mid twenties.
* This trope gets [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] quite heavily in an episode of [[Rescue Me]], when Billy (one of the firefighters) {{spoiler|dies. At his funeral, they find out that he'd}} had 2 ex-wives, both of supermodel quality. The episode had a sub-plot of a measurement contest, which Billy had declined to take part in. After having talked with the ex-wives, the chief declared Billy the {{spoiler|posthumous}} winner, stating "Our friend Billy... was packing 10."
Line 234 ⟶ 235:
** Chandler receives the same treatment (despite being played by the handsome Matthew Perry) in his relationships and throughout the course of his relationship with Monica—in one of the early episodes Phoebe even mentions this trope in conversation with him:
{{quote|'''Phoebe:''' "You know how you always see these gorgeous women with these really nothing guys? You could be one of those guys!"}}
* From ''[[Mad About You]]'', the beautiful Leila Kenzle with Richard Kind, who bears a marked resemblance to [[Magilla Gorilla]].
* Seen in ''[[Homicide: Life
* Used in ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]''. "Uncle Phil" is played by the portly James Avery, while "Aunt Viv" is played by the gorgeous and svelte Janet-Hubert Whitten (and later Daphne Maxwell-Reid), although an episode that flashed back to over a decade previous showed that Avery's character was slimmer and more conventionally attractive before he got into the wealthy world of high-powered law—and Vivian makes it abundantly clear to Will that Phillip's weight does not affect her feelings for him. It's also worth noting that while Phillip is a large man, it's because he is a ''large'' man who could snap other guys in half over his knee if he wanted. This is also true of his actor, 6'4" former Navy man James Avery.
* Seen in the short-lived sitcom "[[Daddio]]", which had the schlubby Michael Chiklis playing househusband to a pretty attorney.
Line 253 ⟶ 254:
** It's also implied with the Veals, but since Mr. Veal is played by [[Firefly|Alan]] [[Perverse Sexual Lust|Tudyk]]...
* ''[[Scrubs]]'' discusses the trope with the [[Patient of the Week]] being a smoking hot woman married to a rather large guy. What does she see in him? He was the only guy there after she dated the attractive jerky guys. J.D. often gets accused of this by watchers of the show, but he's not actually ugly—it's just Hollywood casting for hot girls that makes everyone a model.
* While ''[[The Munsters]]'' looked like people from a
** Of course, Lily sees Herman as gorgeous and worries about other women stealing him away due to this. And considering how they all consider their pretty niece as 'odd-looking', their view of beauty is skewed from the cultural norm.
* Examined in a sketch on ''[[Mad TV]]'', where [[Dr. Phil]] asks the fugly husband of a beautiful ([[The Ditz|but dumb]], [[Unfortunate Implications|though that was presented as a positive]]) how it happened: "[[Money, Dear Boy|Are you crazy rich?]] [[Hypno Fool|Are you a registered hypnotist?]] [[Biggus Dickus|Do you have a freakishly large penis?]]"
Line 261 ⟶ 262:
* ''[[Mr. Belvedere]]'' has George Owens, played by Bob Uecker, who frequently jokes about his homely appearance in real life, paired with gorgeous Marsha played by Ilene Graff. She is beautiful and appears to be a generation his junior.
* ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' introduced Tristan and Isolde at the end of the fourth series. Isolde was young and hot. Tristan looked at least ten years her senior and was rather small and shaggy looking.
* This Trope is deconstructed in an episode of ''[[Night Court]]''. A young, beautiful woman is brought in, who turns out to be a princess of a small island nation, who is desperately trying to get out of an [[Arranged Marriage]]. As she tells Harry, her fiancé is a hulking, ugly, violent brute who is known to eat children. He thinks she's exaggerating, until she shows him a photograph of the guy; unfortunately, the viewers never see it, and we have to take her word for it.

Line 277 ⟶ 278:
== Newspaper Comics ==
* Even going back to their flapper days, Dagwood has no business with a beauty like [[Blondie (comic strip)|Blondie]].
* In ''[[Garfield]]'', Jon and Liz are also a good example of this; although at the moment, they're just dating. Jon is not particularly ugly, but he's incredibly dorky and has a horrible taste in clothes.
Line 283 ⟶ 284:
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* [[Diamond Dallas Page]] and his (now ex) wife Kimberly. She was a Nitro Girl (cheerleader), fitness model, and appeared in Playboy, and was packing an amazing rear end, lots of toned muscle and a nice face. He was big, flabby, wrinkly, and covered with "green mess" style tattoos.
* [[
* [[The Undertaker]]: Both his ex wife Sara and current wife Michelle McCool are hot, while he...isn't. [http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8400000/Michelle-and-the-Undertaker-michelle-mccool-8430370-288-288.jpg Michelle McCool-Callaway and Mark Callaway are a different story, though.]
** Taker and McCool are really more of a real life example; they were never an onscreen couple.
Line 291 ⟶ 292:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* In ''[[Warhammer
** Her equivalent in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' is either the same... or Nurgle's ''daughter'', who cures people so daddy can make them sick again. No one's sure.
Line 317 ⟶ 318:
** Also, Rufus and Candy, though not married, probably count as well. Apparently he saved her from an angry waiter and according to a win quote she likes his belly.
*** Necro and Effie too.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20170707181155/http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/jgonzo/large/47981c1d8d989365a0f5e121acf0b2b8.jpg?v=142782 Huge ''red'' turkish oil wrestler Hakan and his smoking hot wife]. They have seven ''[[Daddy's Girl|adorable]]'' daughters. While Hakan's face [[Face of a Thug|is quite scary]], he is a muscleman who routinely pours oil all over his shirtless chest, thats got to be some woman's [[Fetish Fuel|fetish]]. Plus he's rich, famous, [[Gentle Giant|and said to be a good dad.]] [[Justified Trope]], considering that, in his culture, being a good father/provider counts for a lot more.
* [[Interspecies Romance]] example: A minor [[NPC]] in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]: [[Revenant Wings]]'' is a Seeq married to a Viera. Seeq are hideous pig like things, Viera are [[Cute Monster Girl|beautiful]] [[Petting Zoo People|bunny girls]].
** The Seeq is also quite friendly and supportive of the party's quest to save the Aegyl. OTOH, his wife is as cold and aloof as most of her race and just wishes her husband would leave the ship already. Which just raises more questions about how the hell they hooked up in the first place.
Line 326 ⟶ 327:
* Hades and Persephone in the ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' series. Even though Hades ''isn't'' portrayed as an evil god, he's pretty dumpy, covered in spikes and hides his disfigured face with an intimidating helmet. Persephone, meanwhile, is a beautiful queen {{spoiler|who tries to destroy the world in revenge for being stuck as Hades' wife}}.
* ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'': [[Blood Knight|Bartolomeo]] [[Hot-Blooded|D'Alviano]] has seen many battles in his lifetime, and his heavily scarred face - and scratchy voice that sounds like he's been gargling sand - reflect that. Ezio is understandably surprised when he sees that his wife Pantasilea; A) is a woman and not a sword and B) is very attractive.
* ''[[Chuck Rock]]''; the title character is an ugly, crude, inarticulate caveman, with a beer gut and ''really'' bad BO problem, but his wife Ophelia is a sexy [[Nubile Savage]] type - the reason he has to rescue her from [[Handsome Lech]] Gary Granite.
== Web Comics ==
* Luk River and Hala from "Irregular Elis", a lucky man married with a hot mom alien.
* Jason and Aubrey from ''[[Something
** Davan with just about any girl he's dated, though this is largely [[Informed Deformity]].
Line 382 ⟶ 383:
* Quasimodo and Madellaine from [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|''The Hunchback of Notre Dame II'']].
* Subverted with Donna in ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''. Cleveland is very overweight and has a child-like demeanor while Donna appears to be pretty with a very pronounced butt. However, on several occasions, it was shown that Donna does a lot to make herself look pretty. Donna wears a wig to cover her short and gray hair, wears make up, wears a push up bra that keeps her breasts from sagging, and wears certain clothing to smooth her figure, to which she would look very overweight without it.
* ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'':
** Condiment King is a short, overweight, middle-aged man, unlike his fiancee Becca, who's a knockout.
** The [[Valentines Day Episode]] shows that Killer Croc (a brutish, reptilian [[Beast Man]]) is dating Enchantress (a darkly beautiful [[Evil Sorceress]]) by her own account, she was attracted to his sense of humor; after meeting him at a dermotologist's waiting room, she asked him if any spawns of Satan had come by, and Croc replied by saying [[Evil Lawyer Joke| she was probably looking for the law firm next door.]]
** [[Darkseid]] is dating [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly_Guilfoyle|Kimberly_Guilfoyle], the two [[Take That|having met at the Republican National Convention]]. The Lord of Apokolips seems to imply that this is an [[I Love You Because I Can't Control You]] situation, which Kimberly's cold expression seems to confirm.
** Nora and Swamp Thing; initially presented as a one-night fling (and one-off joke) she was dating him until at least the finale of season 3.
* In ''[[She-Ra: Princess of Power|She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]'', [[Wrench Wench|Entrapta isn't exactly "hot"]] (maybe [[Adorkable]]) but she's far more attractive than her boyfriend - {{spoiler| Hordak himself, whose [[Heel Face Turn]] doesn't do much to change his demonic appearance.}}
