I think a lot of it has to do with how we see people paired. It is totally ok for a phsyically stunning woman to get it on with what is considered to be a convetionally unattractive man. Because he's funny or he has a great personality or blah blah blah.
But hot men? CAN ONLY BE PAIRED WITH HOT WOMEN. I can't remember the last time I saw a really hot male character paired with a "chubby" or conventionally unattractive female character. It was probably on the show Popular, which I watched a couple episodes of. And even then, the female character, while by hollywood standard would DEFINTIELY be considered a "fat" character, was still really pretty in my mind (it was Sara Rue). But yeah. It never happens and when it DOES? People are like "OMG! WHAT THE HELL?" like it's some sort of sacrilege. *sigh*
I want stretch marks and flaky skin. I want a woman that likes DOUBLE MEAT on her subs and gets horrifically insulted when people offer her LIGHT beer. Or that sniffs her underwear to make sure they're clean and has two-in-one shampoo/conditioner and who owns one lipstick and tube of mascara.
The thing is... although Dean seems to go for the pretty ones on the show, I can totally see him hooking up with some really unkempt, bulky female hunter who likes Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. She'd have a huge belt buckle (which for some reason would intimidate him) and a layer of dirt under her fingernails. They'd do it in the back of her rusted Camaro and afterwards she'd eat dill pickle chips from a HUGE bag and sip from a half-full can of flat gingerale.
She totally wouldn't offer him any.
This is seriously my favourite thing this week. Oh man. I love love love female characters (which is why I mainly write het) and Eee... I like people that enjoy them too.
