My Dude’s List about celebrity couples where HE’S reaching and SHE’S settling is nearing a million hits. So damn if I wasn’t going to have to commit to posting its counterpart. Now, for one reason or another, this list was very difficult to pick. To recap, a theory stands that in every relationship there’s a member of the couple that is considered the “reacher” (one who is considered the less attractive or desired) and then there’s the “settler” (the one considered more attractive and desired).

It ain’t rocket science, just good ol’ fashioned stereotyping and personal taste. This list is not a comment on any of the relationships featured. They all must work for one reason or another, chemistry or what have you. Now, we’re swimming in shallower water here. I’m not arguing the fact that several of these contenders can be contested. However, according to those polled, these are some of the first couples that come to mind…

    • And there you have it, Ladies. That’s my list. Who is undeserving of their place? Why? Who’d I miss? Who would you put on it? I stand by the choices. I stand by my taste and have accurately represented the selection of men and women polled. Like it? Hate it? Should I care? Make me.

      Women are cheating all over the place, nowadays! (Leann Rimes/Cibrian, Coco/IceT, Kristen Stewart, Suzy Favor Hamilton the Olympian & Vegas call girl, Rita Ora/Rob Kardashian, Petraeus women).

      My latest book, "I Steal Wives: A serial adulterer reveals the REAL reasons more and more 'happily married' women are cheating" is a powerful look at this EXPLOSIVE topic of female infidelity. And the REAL reasons aren't the typical blather you hear on talk-TV or read in the SECOND-HAND information of some psychologist's self-help book. It’s now in the top 1% of books selling on Amazon!

      The book is the FIRST BOOK EVER WRITTEN on female infidelity from the FIRST-HAND, insider experience of a serial adulterer, who cheated with the wives/girlfriends of over 25 married men (and a few women), and who also happens to be a therapist (never cheated with clients)! "I Steal Wives" is a salacious, self-deprecating, at times funny, and penetratingly insightful look into what is now the very cutting-edge of relationships.

      It's the relationship version of "How to Secure Your House, as told by a professional burglar!" This is no joke, the raw truths of “I Steal Wives” will forever change how you do relationships and understand women, especially if you are one!

      Check it out now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble!! It's selling FAST!

      btw, Jennifer Connelly is so fine! Love Paul as an actor. But there is no way in hell she's reaching. Oh, and how are Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith not on this list?

      Most interesting, however, is that this list only proves that for many men physical looks aren't everything; that beauty truly does come from within. Sometimes, who the person is on the inside makes them ridiculously attractive to the person who loves them. And isn't that what women are always accusing men of not understanding? It seems at least some men aren't as shallow as our culture would purport? ;D

      You forgot Fergie and Josh Duhamel! I know she was considered fit a few years ago, but now… she looks more like a grandma, while he's sizzling hot!

      Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort

      to generate a really good article… but what can I say… I put

      things off a lot and never seem to get anything

      done.
