Interesting. Now ask the men.

We don’t know whether they got around to asking the men, but we can show you how people reacted when it was shared on Reddit’s r/Unexpected forum.

u/daSilvaSurfa had this pretty harsh assessment of the final woman’s ‘ugly’ husband.

In the 60s the bar for a romantic lead actor was lower. Sure, you had Brando and James Dean, but Walter Mathau or Anthony Quinn could get the girl, and no one would bat an eye. I think if she said this, he probably looked like Hans Moleman.
