Average Joe

[omniscient]

Although I rarely watch tv, this show got me glued to the screen every time it came on. I can't believe what happened in the finale. And I also can't believe i'm talking about a tv show like this.

So girls, I wonder what you guys would do if you had to choose between average joe's with above average personalities OR extremely good looking guys with average (not bad) personalities.

I caught the last 5 mins when I came home from school. That show proves that nice guys finish last. The average joe reminded me of Rocky, plus he had a good income level. On the other hand the "hunk" is a student and lives at home. Did you see the previews for next seasons average joe?

hey, I never really watched the show, I just saw one episode where she got rid of all the fat guys.

I would go for someone with average looks, but good personality, rather than good looks and average personality.


what would you go for?

and what happend in the finale that was so interesting?

[omniscient]

The guy that she picked was a good guy, although he was a waiter with no education, he looked good.

The other guy that got thrown on the curb didn't look good BUT he had the best heart and personality i've ever seen. And he was a millionare

I saw the Average Joe 2 preview and it looked interesting

Haven't seen the show. Like I said, the only reality shows I watch are the hilarious dating ones. ;)

And I'd pick the former (for the 2nd part of your post). Looks diminish with time, but personality lasts. Plus, if the guy is too hot, he's either gay, or has been spoiled rotten by cheap girls, and has turned into an xxxxxxx (natural or not).

I meant the second paragraph smarty ;)

Haha, look again, smarty. ;)

What the HECKLES? Obviously, any woman with 1/2 a brain cell would know that men who are "TOO HOT FOR TV" are the ones that are "TOO STUPID FOR THE 1st GRADE"..I have yet to meet a man with ALL the qualities..Sometimes u gotta give a little, to get a little.....(get ur mind outta the gutter)....Also, when they don't have good looks, men tend to make up for that with an awesome personality..which is GREAT!

Ok, so I never actually watched this show, but I heard enough about it today on the radio (because apparently average joe is late breaking news! :rolleyes: ) to formulate an opinion. Did you ever think that maybe the girl chose the cute waiter guy because he is on the same level as her intellectually? I'm not saying they are both dumb or anything. They might both be rocket scientists for all I know.... Plus I hink level of schooling doesn't necessarily determine how intellectually/socially able someone is... Anyway, so I never watched the show, nor am I a fan of judging a book by its cover, but she was a cheerleader and he's a waiter/actor? Right? Seems to me they'd have more to talk about than would the girl and the more educated/ different working world stock broker dude. Maybe I'm wrong? But that makes sense to me.

Anyway, I would pick the average looking guy. First of all I really DO believe that whole saying that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' (yes, yes and also in the eye of the beer holder, haha). What I might Think is average might be quite above average to someone else... I don't really like to abide by societal 'norms' about what is average and what isn't. Who the hell put those standards anyway?? I mean unless the guy seriously doesn't take care of himself (shower, brush teeth, shave, be healthy, get some sunlight, etc...)... Seriously, for me, when a guy can captivate me with his ability to converse with me and his smarts and humor etc etc etc all these things that make up a wonderful personality, I find myself more physically attracted to him. Haven't you ever looked at some guy/girl and said daaaaaaaaaamn niiiiiiiiice, but then they open their mouth and you want to run in the opposite direction, fast?? Beauty fades, but dumb is forever, REALLY, so if you end up with someone you are very attracted to and everything else about him/her is so-so I doubt that relationship will last unless you're getting your intellectual stimulation elsewhere.

My two cents.

GOOD JOB CK.....that is what I call a girl who knows her sh*t!!!

Well the average guy is obviously the good choice and some girls would choose him, and the girl thats as stupid as the hunk would choose the hunk cause she will feel intimidated by the average guy. So in conclusion i would choose neither because if im not attracted to a man i cant sleep with him or even kiss him, and as for the hunk I cant be with someone that isnt on my level or above my level he should know the difference between TUNA and CHIKEN. Anyway, but if i was attracted even a little to the average guy i would choose him without a doubt, and if i just HAD to make a choice and i wasnt attracted to the average guy i would choose the hunk to be with for awhile to have fun and then dump him.

I would choose the good looking guy with the average personality!!but if he had a really bad personality i wouldve chosen the worse looking guy!

omni dear did u hear about the one in hawaii they r doing

[gorsenvadz]

i still kinda thought she would have gone w/ the average one considering how much $$$ he had

[tortoise26]

Its kinda weird...when I was watching the finale for Average Joe, I was totally hoping that the "Average" guy would win her heart...I mean, he was smart, sweet beyond belief, he would give her everything she wanted, he was rich, romantic, etc... The odd part was that when my sister asked me who I would have picked, I had to think about it. And even though this is going to sound shallow initially, I wouldn't pick the guy I was rooting for. Why?

Because he was too nice :o I dont want some guy following me around like a puppy, keeping every little memorabilia and not washing the cheek I kiss. All those things are fine, and I am guilty of having done those things, but I would never tell the guy. I want to be with a guy who is on the same level as me. I don't want a guy who verbally states that I'm his queen. Get a backbone, man! I'd hope that the guy I'm with would repsect me as his equal, not worship me as some heavenly sent creature.

Anyway, too much thinking about yet another reality tv show.

The guy she picked was a lot more like me than the other guy. I think she made the right choice.

I just think it's hilarious that so many people here actually know what an Okizaki fragment is. Must be a lot of college students.
