A man and a woman coo over each other. A bystander turns to another and says, "What does she see in him?" Or, conversely, "What does he see in her?" May also inspire comments about how love is blind — sometimes justly, sometimes unjustly. Common with Romantic False Lead and the Love Triangle. Ugly Guy, Hot Wife may inspire it. So may Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy, if she actually gets him. When jealously motivated, may be coupled with What's He Got That I Ain't Got?! If either member of the couple Has a Type, True Love is Exceptional is often in play. In Single Woman Seeks Good Man, likely to be said by less mature characters than the woman; in All Girls Want Bad Boys, the characters who say it are prone to have a better view than the girl, who is prone to dismiss it with You're Just Jealous. When one half of the couple wonders "What do you see in me?", it's I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me (when they first meet) or Insecure Love Interest (once they're dating). When the questioning comes up about a friendship, it's Loser Friend Puzzles Outsiders. When it's not the attraction but the relationship that leaves people wondering, see Nobody Thinks It Will Work. When the audience has its doubts about the relationship, see Why Would Anyone Take Him Back?, Strangled by the Red String, or Designated Love Interest. And when what she sees in him is a sucker who's gullible enough to fall for a Honey Trap, that's The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction. See also (and closely related to): What's He Got That I Ain't Got?! and Better Partner Assertion. If the people asking this question are judging someone based on superficial traits, it's also a case of Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love. Examples |

A minor mystery for Sally and Angua in Thud! is why exotic dancer Tawnee is going out with Nobby Nobbs of all, uh, people. It is elaborated on laer; Tawnee is going out with Nobby because he was the first man who had the guts to ask her out. Everyone else just assumed she was so far out of their league it wasn't funny and didn't dare. Nobby, on the other hand, has been kicked in the metaphorical nuts so many times he's gone numb, and decided to ask because why not. Tawnee, on the other hand, had low self-esteem from the lack of opposite-sex attention, and appreciated Nobby's efforts. |

Horimiya: In the beginning, Tooru asks what Hori sees in Miyamura. He "sees" it, later on. After the Relationship Upgrade, the other kids in school don't even try to be subtle when expressing their disbelief. Sawada, who also has a crush on Hori, asks this as well. Inverted with Yanagi. He had confessed to Yuki and she wants no part in it, but everyone can't help but wonder what she doesn't see in him— he's smart, kind, humble, and incredibly handsome. (Yanagi is a bit too perfect in Yuki's eyes. She wants someone normal. And it's a smart decision for Yuki too, since Yanagi is socially inept that he has hard time relating to others on their level, which spells doom to any relationship.) |

This came up in Royal Pains. When Hank started dating Dr. Emily Peck, everyone (including other characters) couldn't understand it. She constantly tried to steal all of Hank's business, and whenever he even bothered to bring any of her faults up, she would start to undress and they'd end up having sex. Hank ''never'' saw any of her faults. Many were convinced that he had swallowed the Idiot Ball. | |

In Strategy Sets the Scene for the Tale, almost everyone in the Targaryen family is baffled by Errya Stark's insistence on marrying Aegon — who was bent on getting as drunk as possible and saddled with every venereal disease known to mankind due to his frequentation of prostitutes until he met his bride. | |

Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins: This is pretty much what Alistair says if you continually gain approval with Zevran. Amusingly, he asks this of Leliana, who invokes All Girls Want Bad Boys and implies that she can also see the attraction. Oghren will also ask Morrigan this in exact words if the Warden is in a romance with her. Going by some other things he says to her, he's probably at least a little jealous. That and likely intends to steal your moves to pick up the ladies. Morrigan herself will pose this question to a male Warden that romances Leliana instead of her. To a female Warden who romances Alistair, she will remark that he must be very good in bed because she can't imagine any other reason why a woman would want him. Leliana will pose this question to Alistair if a male Warden pursues a relationship with Morrigan. Alistair poses this question to Wynne if a male Warden romances Morrigan. It's not out of jealousy, but more him likely wondering if he should find a straitjacket for his fellow Warden, as they have quite clearly gone crazy. Dragon Age II Should Hawke romance Fenris instead of Anders, the latter will stop them and outright ask why, likening him to a dog. He will also ask this if Hawke romances Merrill, worded differently. If a male Hawke romances Merrill, a rivaled Isabela will ask her what she could possibly see in Hawke, not knowing where to even begin listing his flaws. This is not a straight example, as Isabela actually rather supports the relationship, so long as Hawke understands that breaking Merrill's heart would have unfortunate consequences, so she's probably just having a little fun at Hawke's expense. If female Hawke romances Sebastian, Varric will remark to Cassandra that he never understood how that worked; Hawke is his best friend, but Varric really doesn't like Sebastian very much, and he invokes the trope by name. Dragon Age: Inquisition: Implied to be the case with many outsiders (though not really anyone in the inner circle) should the Inquisitor romance Dorian. One noble even sends a letter to Vivienne complaining about the unsuitability of the match, though she assures the pair in party banter that she effectively told off the offending party. On the other hand, should the Inquisitor romance Sera, this question does seem to be on the minds of a few of their companions. Dorian himself has this reaction should the Inquisitor romance Blackwall. As shown in Party Banter, Vivienne also questions the Inquisitor/Blackwall romance. He in turn quickly shuts her down: |

On Gilmore Girls, this is the general reaction to Rory's growing interest in Jess, Luke's nephew. She's a straight-A, Ivy League bound town princess, while he's a surly, Deadpan Snarker sent to live with Luke allegedly because he was getting into too much trouble back home in New York City. Even Luke is a little perplexed by it, if pleased that Rory might be a good influence. Lorelai takes the Wrong Genre Savvy All Girls Want Bad Boys angle, though it's really because they share a Commonality Connection in literature, music, and interests, and he's intellectually her equal. | |

The reaction of most characters in-universe to the marriage of Beren and Lúthien in The Silmarillion. This is perfectly understandable. Lúthien turned down Daeron, a talented poet and loremaster. Beren, is kind of a loser in comparison. However, it's revealing that Daeron is one of the few people who does understand why Lúthien likes Beren from the beginning. Since Daeron is the one telling the story, the audience is thus also not left in doubt. Everyone has expectations for Lúthien, everyone is trying to limit her or get her on their side: everyone except Beren. Played more traditionally with Feänor and Nerdanel. Nerdanel was no looker, by elven standards, while Feänor was basically the pinnacle of male elven beauty. However, Nerdanel was also kind, generous, fun-loving, intelligent and artistic, and while Feänor's flaws were as many, varied and colorful as his virtues, stupidity and shallowness were not among them. |

In A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun, Kuroko Shirai is in love with Mikoto Misaka, but she's in love with Touma Kamijou. Kuroko doesn't understand why; she thinks he's just a dumb brute and is completely unaware that he saves the world a lot and has saved Mikoto and her sisters. | |

A discussed trope in Lou (2022) when Lou tries to push the blame on Hannah for not leaving her abusive husband. Hannah then spells out what it's like to be involved with a dangerous sociopath who can play on your love, guilt, and eventually fear to make sure you don't leave. | |

Fire Emblem: Everyone in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn wonders how Astrid can defend lazy, drunken gambler Makalov. Even Makalov himself says she's wasting her time, but she refuses to listen to reason. If they have A support in the previous game, they'll get married and their ending states that he never changes. Nah in Fire Emblem: Awakening is a rare case of a Kid from the Future wondering this about her own parents! Though given that her mother Nowi is not only a Cloud Cuckoo Lander but a 1000-year-old dragon with the body of a pre-teenage girl, it's kinda understandable. To wit, her first assumption on why her folks got married is that she's under the assumption that her father got Nowi pregnant.note In the Japanese version, she instead assumes that her father is a paedophile. |

In That '70s Show, Eric doesn't understand how his friend Hyde can be attracted to Jackie, whom Eric can't stand (even calling her "the devil"), because she's shallow, self-obsessed, and annoying. On the flip side, many people (including Eric himself on occasion) don't understand what the heck Donna is doing with Eric. | |

Sam and Diane in Cheers. In both directions. At one point Norm manages to render Diane momentarily speechless (an accomplishment in itself) by asking what exactly they have in common. An Imagine Spot in the series 5 finale has an elderly Sam answering the phone, which turns out to be Carla. We don't hear her question, but Sam's response makes it clear enough. |

The Simpsons: Marge and Homer Simpson. Some episodes answer the question. In The Simpsons Movie, Marge actually can't come up with an answer to this question after his latest and most extreme bout of jerkassery and selfishness, and leaves him as a result. He does make up for all the dickish things he did, though, and they got back together. Marge's sisters Patty and Selma never approved of their relationship throughout the entire series. In one episode, Bart questions what the babysitter sees in Jimbo. "What do you like about him? He's just a good-looking rebel who plays by his own rules." Which makes both the babysitter and Lisa sigh dreamily. In the episode where Lisa has a crush on Nelson, Bart has this reaction. Mr Burns is physically unappealing, extremely frail and elderly, and just straight-up evil. Despite all of that, his subordinate Smithers is deeply infatuated with him on both an emotional and a sexual level. |

At the end of the short, the narrator, a live-action actor at a piano, is left wondering what that bee ever saw in the moth, and mutters to himself, "What a dope!" Unfortunately, the moth heard him, and eats the narrator's pants in retaliation. | |

In Justice League, it's revealed that thousands of years prior to the series, Wonder Woman's mother, Hippolyta had been seduced by Hades and tricked into helping him overthrow the gods of Mount Olympus. After the League defeated him when he was unleashed by Felix Faust, Wonder Woman asked her mother what she saw in him. Hippolyta merely replied, "Ancient history."note Hades, in his natural form, has three tongues. | |

This happens in Popular when Josh the "cool" jock hooks up with the unpopular "fat girl" Carmen, and everyone is completely horrified, Harrison (for reasons best known to himself) writes a song about the absurdity of Josh finding Carmen attractive and performs it in front of everyone). It's basically an in-universe example though, as Carmen is blatantly a very pretty girl - albeit in a quirky way - and is only really "fat" by Hollywood standards. To the unbiased observer they don't seem an ill-matched couple at all (if anything, she's better-looking) but whether the makers of the show did this deliberately to demonstrate how pointless generic standards of "beauty" are, or whether they just couldn't bring themselves to cast a genuinely obese or unattractive girl in the role, is open for debate. | |

RWBY: Weiss is noticeably shocked that Pyrrha doesn't share her disgusted reaction when Jaune tries to flirt with them. This is also used in reverse: in Pyrrha's song "Dream Come True", she is wondering what Jaune sees in Weiss. During the second fight between Yang and Adam, Adam screams "What does she see in you!?" There's a long list of reasons, but the most immediately relevant one is that Blake and Yang are equal partners who help each other, which contrasts with Adam who used emotional manipulation to make Blake feel guilty for hurting him whenever she stepped out of line. |

One noble even sends a letter to Vivienne complaining about the unsuitability of the match, though she assures the pair in party banter that she effectively told off the offending party. On the other hand, should the Inquisitor romance Sera, this question does seem to be on the minds of a few of their companions. Dorian himself has this reaction should the Inquisitor romance Blackwall. As shown in Party Banter, Vivienne also questions the Inquisitor/Blackwall romance. He in turn quickly shuts her down: |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations: A plot point in the first case. Mia questions why would someone like Dahlia Hawthorne, who's described as incredibly beautiful by practically everyone, be interested in someone like Phoenix, who at the time wasn't really anything great. Phoenix claims that she's simply in love with him, while Mia says that the only reason she was dating him was a necklace that was evidence of her earlier crime. The truth turned out to be much more complicated. Neither of them knew that Phoenix was actually dating Dahlia's Nice Girl twin sister Iris, who indeed started dating him to get that necklace for her sister, but genuinely fell in love with him over time. Nobody has a clue what attracted Desirée DeLite (extremely attractive Badass Biker) to her husband Ron (a high-strung, nebbish girly-boy) at first. Turns out it was a Rescue Romance. |

In the Darkest Powers series, anyone who sees Derek and Chloe together, especially other supernaturals, is very likely going to think this (Chloe's aunt certainly does) about them. Chloe is very pretty, petite, and blond-haired and blue-eyed. She also tends to be very sweet, kind, and friendly to people who aren't total dicks. Derek, on the other hand, is hulking, not attractive, riddled with acne, generally unfriendly and mostly standoffish with people he doesn't know, and has a bad temper. (He does have good qualities. Seriously.) He's also a werewolf, which is considered by most people to be evil (unfortunately, a stereotype that most of them fulfill), or, at the very least, dangerous animals to be avoided with great prejudice, and killed if necessary. | |

King of the Hill: Some characters (and fans), notably Peggy and Mihn, wonder why Luanne hooked up with Lucky as he's a stupid, ugly, bucktoothed, middle-aged, stereotypical hillbilly. Other characters wonder this about Nancy and Dale as they rarely show their love for each other and Nancy cheated on Dale with John Redcorn for years. In fact, this trope applies to many couples in the series. |

Married... with Children plays this both ways. One could wonder (and in fact, Marcy has openly questioned her about this on multiple occasions) what Peg sees in her balding, homely, minimum-wage earning loser of a husband when she's been hit on by more attractive and wealthier men. Al, on the other hand, could be asked why he continues to stick with Peg when he'd be fully justified in kicking her out for her ridiculous sense of entitlement and freeloading without contributing to the family. The question is never really answered since whatever the headaches Al and Peg give each other, they're still too attached to break up their relationship even when they could profit materially by doing so. | |

In The Kindaichi Case Files, some of Miyuki's and Kindaichi's classmates outright voices their incomprehension that Miyuki remains close to Kindaichi to Childhood Friend Romance levels, as Miyuki, unlike them, knows about Kindaichi's Hidden Depths as a Brilliant, but Lazy Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass whose many academic failings are the results of his indifference in school grades. | |

Glenn Martin, DDS: Upon forming a crush on Conor, the Martins' gross Dumbass Teenage Son, Wendy does this to herself. She laments that she has no idea what she sees in him while also describing Conor as a "dreamboat". This is also to the ire of Courtney, Wendy's best friend/boss and Conor's sister, who knows firsthand how gross her brother is. Wendy is able to look past all of Conor's negative traits (he has quite a few), but the last straw is when he tries to sacrifice her to what he believes is a monster is trying to eat them. Just like that, Wendy finally snaps out of it. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Howard (a perverted gonky Casanova Wannabe) with Bernadette (a cute, bubbly, sweet girl). The funny part was that they met due to a promise between Leonard and Howard years prior if either got girlfriends they would set the other up on a blind date; Penny set them up and was dumbfounded that it worked out as well as it did. Downplayed with Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler. Amy isn't exactly a great catch, being kind of plain-looking and socially awkward... but Sheldon is even more socially awkward than she is, being more akin to an overgrown neurotic, socially inept, temperamental, and very selfish child than anything. She even lampshades it in the episode "The Spoiler-Alert Segmentation," remarking that she finds his personality... quirks... "cute as a button", when others find them "abhorrent and rage-inducing". The trope is subverted when Sheldon actually causes her to break up with him after one particularly stunning display of self-centeredness, and she doesn't take him back until he gets Character Development. And even then she admits that Sheldon is not right in the head at all times. However, due to severe self-esteem issues and Rule of Funny, she never leaves him note (not permanently, anyway). Stuart is a Straw Loser who easily makes everyone else around him seem cool, so it's nothing short of miraculous for him that Denise, the girl he hires to help run his comic book store, finds his knowledge about various "nerdy" subjects sexy, as his awkward demeanor weirds others, including Howard, out easily. Discussed between Bernadette and Denise regarding Howard and Stuart, respectively, during "The Citation Negation". |

Eddie Valiant's reaction to Jessica Rabbit being married to Roger in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In due course, Eddie does ask, and gets told why. "He makes me laugh!" She also seems to imply there are other reasons... Note that from the Toons' perspective, it's the other way around: they're trying to figure out what Roger sees in Jessica. |

Watching had a theme tune that addressed this trope, sung from the perspective of the female lead. She reels off a substantial list of all his faults and asks herself what she sees in him, but then she's forced to admit that she's not exactly a prize catch herself and wonders what he sees in her. It's actually quite sweet in a dysfunctional kind of way. | |

Marge and Homer Simpson. Some episodes answer the question. In The Simpsons Movie, Marge actually can't come up with an answer to this question after his latest and most extreme bout of jerkassery and selfishness, and leaves him as a result. He does make up for all the dickish things he did, though, and they got back together. Marge's sisters Patty and Selma never approved of their relationship throughout the entire series. | |

Turning Red: At the start of the story, Mei's friends Abby, Miriam, and Priya are crushing on a store clerk named Devon, but initially Mei doesn't see the appeal, as she thinks he looks like a "hobo" (she only becomes attracted to him later when drawing idealized doodles of him as a merman). Mei then reminds her friends that the 4*Town singers more closely match their ideal of "real men". Her friends then point out that it costs a lot of money to see 4*Town, while Devon is "right there", so they can see him for free. Mei's father Jin tells her that Grandma Wu didn't think he was good enough for Ming. |

When they witness Takeo selflessly risk himself to save two of them who had gotten caught in a burning building, they begin to see the noble personality that attracted Yamato to him. On top of that, Yamato genuinely thinks Takeo is handsome, regardless of how weird others think her taste is. | |

In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND, Hazama literally asks Tsubaki Yayoi what she sees in Jin Kisaragi at one point during Slight Hope, making it clear that he knows she's in love with him. To be fair, he could give a shit less, and is looking for ways and/or reasons to exploit their relationship for his own ends. Any manipulation would have to be done in another iteration of the past century, however, as Tsubaki's friend Makoto Nanaya broke all his plans in this one. | |

Dragon Age: Origins: This is pretty much what Alistair says if you continually gain approval with Zevran. Amusingly, he asks this of Leliana, who invokes All Girls Want Bad Boys and implies that she can also see the attraction. Oghren will also ask Morrigan this in exact words if the Warden is in a romance with her. Going by some other things he says to her, he's probably at least a little jealous. That and likely intends to steal your moves to pick up the ladies. Morrigan herself will pose this question to a male Warden that romances Leliana instead of her. To a female Warden who romances Alistair, she will remark that he must be very good in bed because she can't imagine any other reason why a woman would want him. Leliana will pose this question to Alistair if a male Warden pursues a relationship with Morrigan. Alistair poses this question to Wynne if a male Warden romances Morrigan. It's not out of jealousy, but more him likely wondering if he should find a straitjacket for his fellow Warden, as they have quite clearly gone crazy. |

Azumanga Daioh: Platonic example: Pretty much every single character in the main cast wonders how Yomi could ever end up becoming best friends with Tomo. Especially confusing since "best friends" here translates into Tomo acting like an idiot and pushing Yomi's Berserk Buttons, with Yomi retaliating with physical violence in kind, not to mention the fact that Yomi is more belligerent towards Tomo than any of the other girls, but Tomo actually studied hard for the final test at their last school specifically so she could transfer to the same school as Yomi... which she explicitly did in order to spite Yomi and so that she could continue teasing her. Another platonic example is Miss Yukari and Miss Kurosawa. Yukari is a childish teacher who yells at anyone that dares to look at her wrong, goofs off and sleeps in class, and lives in her parents' house in a pigsty of a room; Kurosawa is a diligent teacher who is kind and polite to all of her students, drives Yukari to school, and lives on her own in a well-furnished apartment. Despite this, and the fact that the two of them rarely get along, they are inseparable and have been the best of friends since high school. The students learn that Mr. Kimura, the ephebophile literature teacher, has a wife and kid, and subsequently wonder what the woman saw in him. Tomo speculates that she's either being held against her will, or actually just as messed-up as he is; Yukari, on the contrary, posits that she has to be an angel to put up with a guy like that. The latter theory is supported when they finally meet her, though given the amount of ditziness she displays, it's unclear if she actually notices. Her own explanation is that he's "easy on the eyes". Kimura also regularly does good deeds like picking up litter and donating large amounts of money to charity, which might make him more appealing to her. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Iron Man 3, Killian tries to give a Breaking Speech to Tony about how he doesn’t deserve Pepper’s love. Tony rejects it wholesale, though he does concede that Pepper is a better person than he is - all the more reason to fight for her and kick Killian’s ass. In Avengers: Endgame, Gamora from the year 2014 is utterly baffled that her 2018 self was/will be in a relationship with Peter Quill. Her sister quips that her options were him, or the talking tree. In Spider-Man: Far From Home, much of the comic relief comes from Peter being utterly baffled by two unlikely relationships: his Aunt May and Happy Hogan, and his best friend Ned and their acquaintance Betty. |

Steven Universe: In early episodes, the other Crystal Gems often questioned what the late Rose Quartz saw in Greg Universe, a bumbling one-man band/car wash owner who lives in his van. Greg often asked the same himself. It's later shown that they didn't start off in a good relationship, with Rose just treating him as a novelty. Him being the first person to call her out on this disrespectful attitude and insisting she treat him with respect is a major factor in why Greg went on to be the most serious romantic relationship she's ever had. Plus, being an attractive young man when they met helped quite a bit. | |

In Seinfeld, Jerry starts dating a girl that is perfectly acceptable by his own standards, but everybody (and that is everybody, including the girl's friends, the girl's family, Jerry's friends (that even go as far as staging an intervention), random passersby and even Newman) treats her like some kind of incredible loser and Jerry is, at best, doing her a favor. Jerry can't understand what is it that is making them treat her like that... up until the moment that Jerry's parents meet her, and are the only other people in the whole episode that treat her like a human being. Jerry dumps her immediately. | |

The Scholomance: Orion and El provide an (initially) platonic version. The other students (especially the kids who grew up with Orion in New York) are stunned and baffled by how much time Orion starts spending around surly loner El when he's spent his entire life ignoring everyone else except when acting on his Chronic Hero Syndrome. The real reason is that Orion finds all of the attention everyone else gives him unsettling and considers El's annoyance at his rescues as a sign that he can be more open with her. It takes a while for anyone else to figure this out. | |

In a rather long arc of Bloom County, Opus became engaged to a young, attractive human woman named Lola Granola; Opus himself wondered what she saw in him, especially after Opus discovered that her former boyfriend was a real hunk with far more secure finances. (Lola's only stated reason for wanting to marry a penguin was that she believed "men are jerks".) Because Status Quo Is God, this didn't last, but in Breathed's third strip, Lola started dating Steve (the strip's resident chain-smoking Jerkass who was much older than her, who most would agree was an even worse match), suggesting she simply has Horrible Judge of Character. | |

Lee and Dawn in the British version of The Office. Lee is constantly shown to be miserly, misogynistic, joyless and a bully who, on various occasions, talks down to Dawn, outright offends her and belittles her ambitions. Done on purpose, since Lee is the Romantic False Lead who comes between Dawn and Tim, with whom she is clearly besotted. Given the show's aspiration towards low-key realism, it's odd that the show never explains why Dawn stays with Lee for as long as she does. The writers freely admitted in this case that they had intended to make the Lee vs. Tim romantic rivalry more a battle of equals, each with their own merits, but fell into this trap partly because owing to the nature of the show Tim naturally had more opportunity to be presented as a more appropriate match for Dawn than Lee did. Although it didn't help that, when they were on together, Tim naturally ended up being more likable than Lee anyway. The Christmas Special and Grand Finale somewhat answer this, with Lee being shown to have repeatedly squashed Dawn's hopes and dreams, to the point where she finally gave up having any dreams whatsoever and settled for the simple humdrum of day-to-day living. Tim's encouragement for her not to give up her dream of being a children's illustrator leads her to finally stand up for herself and dump Lee's worthless hide. This dynamic is replicated in the US series with their respective counterparts, Pam (Dawn), Jim (Tim), and Roy (Lee). After leaving Roy for good, she acknowledges in her Love Confession to Jim at the beach games that she never should have been with Roy as long as she did, but never gave much thought to the reasons why until she met Jim. In the U.S. series, this is Erin's reaction to Michael's pining for Holly Flax. Considering Erin clearly came to see Michael as a father figure, it might have just been her being a jealous Daddy's Girl. Also in the U.S. series, when Andy was engaged to Angela, Oscar flat out asks him what he sees in her. Both Oscar and Angela in their relationships with Senator Robert Lipton. Lipton is good looking, wealthy and powerful but also openly treats both of them as political props. Angela appears to stay with him for money and status and because he's her son's legal father, but she does appear to truly believe that he'll one day stop being gay and fall in love with her. Meanwhile Oscar claims that Robert is that first man he’s ever truly loved despite his refusal to have a public relationship with him, only allowing Oscar to come to his political rallies as outreach to Hispanic voters. When Lipton does come out he still never admits to dating Oscar and starts a relationship with his campaign manager, and throws Angela and the boy he must assume is his son out on the street, showing that he never cared about either of them. |

Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats: A question that's frequently asked by nearly all of Sonja's and Cleo's would-be suitors. Sonja is frequently noted by her admirers as being a "classy dame", whereas her boyfriend Heathcliff is an uncouth ruffian and the neighborhood terror. Likewise, Cleo's a hottie who lives in a music store in the classier part of Westfinster. Her boyfriend? Riff-Raff, a scruffy looking alley cat who lives in a junkyard. |

This is pretty much everyone's first thoughts when they learn about Schmidt and Cece on New Girl. He's a loud and obnoxious jerk and she's a gorgeous model. Turns out they're both quite insecure about themselves and he's actually kind of nice deep down. | |

Played with in a crossover between Spider-Man and Invincible: after the latter meets MJ, Spider-Man expects him to bring up the trope, but Invincible points out that Spider-Man is attractive, funny, and a pretty nice guy so it makes sense that someone like MJ would be attracted to him. | |

In My Best Friend is a Vampire, Ralph has no clue why Jeremy ignores Candy, who's a blonde cheerleader and obviously very attracted to him, in favor of Darla. Jeremy cheerily ignores Ralph's commentary on the subject, as Darla does with her own best friend, Gloria, who can't figure out why Darla has any interest at all in Jeremy. | |

In Mansfield Park, Fanny Price often wonders what Edmund can possibly see in Mary Crawford. She admits that Mary is beautiful, spirited, and witty, but she's aware that he's blind to her faults and twists facts so that they would fit to his ideas. Of course, Fanny is the jealous variety since Edmund is her only friend and teenage crush. | |

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Ron asks this about what Hermione sees in Krum. Harry immediately points out that he's a famous international Quidditch player, to which Ron responds "Yeah, but besides that!" A platonic (at least on her side) example happened in the past, between Severus Snape and Lily Evans. Lily was an attractive and popular witch who was friends with the less-than-attractive and dark-minded Snape. However, Lily ended that friendship when Snape called her a "Mudblood" in a bout of anger. |

In I Heard That Song Before, lots of people think Kay is out of her mind for marrying Peter Carrington, especially after the body of his former girlfriend Susan turns up on the edge of his estate, wondering how she can sleep at night under the same roof as a man who has had two significant others die in suspicious circumstances (a few people assume the Carrington fortune is a big factor). When her father also turns out to have been murdered and buried on the estate and Kay still stands by Peter, people think she's hopelessly naive at best and completely delusional at worst. Kay for her part insists Peter is misunderstood and that few other people can see the kind and intellectual man he really is. | |

The Planet Eater Trilogy: Morgan Edge argues the Daily Planet series on "The Girl-friends of Superman" flopped because everyone know Superman only loves Lois Lane for reasons Edge cannot fathom. |

Star Trek: Lower Decks: "Cupid's Errant Arrow" has a double case. Mariner thinks that someone as attractive and accomplished as Barbara being in love with Boimler is too good to be real for him, and Barb thinks that it's too good to be true that someone as badass as Mariner would have someone as mousey and sweet as him as a best friend. Therefore they both think that the other is up to something. | |

Birgitte is a blonde warrior, and many men find her attractive, but she has a stated preference for ugly men.

Some of the stories on 1000 Ways to Die feature couples. We are left to wonder how some of the couples in this series got together in the first place. For example: In a What Does He See in Her? case in "Bitch Zapped". Ron, the husband of an abusive wife named Marcie, is forced to mow the lawn and generally be her errand boy. When Marcie gets frustrated because Ron is not mowing the lawn "properly," she decides to show him "how to mow the lawn," by not paying attention where she's going and runs over the cord of Ron's ARC welder, sending 200 amps into her body, causing death by electrocution. Lucy to Seth in "Orspasm". Seth intentionally made her orgasmnote she suffers from persistent genital arousal disorder, thus orgasming from the most minor things and slightest touches... it's nowhere near as fun as it sounds. for his own sadistic, perverted pleasure despite knowing the pain it put her through, and he ends up dying when he pokes Lucy with a massager while on the stairs, causing her to accidentally knock him down, breaking his bones and neck. The narrator says Lucy scared off all her other boyfriends with her condition, but surely it couldn't have been worth putting up with this asswipe. Bill and his wife, Billie in "Kill Bill & Billie". The segment starts off as yelling about how they hate each other. Bill calls a hitman against Billie, if she's seeing another man, then kill them both. However, he's not faithful himself, as he calls three hookers per week, and this week, he calls a fourth hooker, who turns out to be Billie. As they start yelling like at the beginning, the hitman comes and kills them both before they can even notice. |

Blitzo and Verosika, from Helluva Boss. Verosika is a Hell-famous popstar succubus. Blitzo is just a regular imp, member of the lowest class of Hell's creatures, and a total Jerkass. Blitzo's co-workers are all shocked by the revelation that they used to date, though there is the question if their boss dated her before or after Verosika became famous. And then there's this exchange: It's later played for drama when Blitzo reveals he feels that way about himself. Despite Stolas obviously having feelings for him, Blitzo can't help but feel that Stolas only wants him for the sex, mostly due to Stolas not being able to tell him the truth. |

Regular Show: Eileen, who's a cute dorky Girl Next Door and genuinely friendly has a crush on Rigby, who's a rude, lazy Jerkass towards her... at least at first. By the third season, he's warmed up to her, seeing her as a friend and slowly becoming a better person under her influence. It's then revealed in a Wham Line at the end of Season 6 that they've been dating since at least the beginning of that season, but Eileen told Rigby to not mention it so Mordecai wouldn't feel bad about his many, many romance issues. The show's "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue at the end of season eight reveals that they married and had two children. | |

Tellingly, the only answer Bloberta can give Orel is "Why not?". The Season 3 episode "Help" reveals that Bloberta met Clay at a wedding reception and basically trapped him into a marriage so she wouldn't become an Old Maid. They've both been miserable ever since. | |

Played with in Keeping Up Appearances, where Hyacinth often wonders what her sister Daisy sees in Onslow (who, apart from being a lazy slob, is a fairly decent guy), despite the fact that Hyacinth herself is loud, brutish, and unbearable to be around, to the point where her husband Richard dreads retirement because it would mean spending more time with her. In Richard's case, one gets the impression that they fell in love and married before she began her social climbing in earnest. It's also suggested (and Clive Swift has said in interviews) that Richard is quite lazy, (but nothing like as bad as Onslow) and appreciates having decisions made for him. Patricia Routledge herself once emphasized this by stating that Hyacinth never fails to cook, clean and iron for her husband. | |

Mimpi Metropolitan: Bambang and Melani's relationship gets this reaction from most bystanders. Bambang is an unattractive man who can't keep a stable job while Melani is a beautiful woman with a respectable career, so people assume that either Bambang is lying about the relationship, Melani gets forced into it or Bambang uses some supernatural means to make Melani falls in love with him. One of Bambang's romantic rivals, the much more handsome Juna, directly asks this to Melani. The answer is simply Single Woman Seeks Good Man. | |

No One Breaks My Heart Like You: Downplayed. Barbara Heinz, Mary Jane's friend, does not hate Peter or look down on him; she knows that Peter and Mary Jane love each other and that Peter is a good guy. However, she can tell that Mary Jane is unhappy and sometimes feels that he's weighing her down. | |

In chapter 9 of Children of an Elder God, Asuka and Hikari argue because Asuka doesn't like Touji and doesn't get why Hikari likes him. Ironically, Hikari thought Asuka's then-current crush on Kaji was bad because Kaji was an older man and a playboy. | |

In Kimagure Orange Road, people wonder what lead female Madoka sees in main male Ky�suke. He may be a Nice Guy and the one who approached her while she was an outcast and believed to be a Japanese Delinquent, but (besides his Psychic Powers) he's still very average, while she's extremely smart and a Renaissance Man who excels practically at everything. | |

This theme is explored in the The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Choices," which reveals how Nicole and Richard met. Turns out Nicole's parents put a lot of pressure on her to be perfect, to the point where she thought being the best was the only way people would like her. Richard was the first person she met that liked her for her, and didn't care if she was perfect. Richard may be the epitome of the Bumbling Dad stereotype, but there's no doubt that he and Nicole genuinely love each other. | |

Unbreakable Red Silken Thread: After getting to know how much Cody has changed over the years, Gwen points out that he could do much better than Heather. As much as Heather hates to admit it (even to herself), she acknowledges that Gwen has a point and that Cody would have no problem finding himself a much nicer and still attractive new girlfriend; this actually has a positive effect on Heather, as it encourages her to be an even better girlfriend to him. | |

Maken-ki!: It's what all the male students at Tenbi wanna know about Takeru's girl magnetism. As far as they can see, he's plain-looking, a dumbass, and a pervert. None of which has stopped several of the hottest girls at the academy from falling for him; including Love Espada! The female students ask the same question about why all the guys drool over Ms. Aki, except they already know the answer. It's because she's got the biggest rack among them, on top of being an older woman and the school nurse. |

Crimson Spell: Most of the cast, but particularly Halrein, are at a loss to understand what Prince Vald wants with Havi. Like a lot of other examples, Havi is actually a decent partner (not to mention quite literally magical in bed), but he only shows his caring side to Vald. Combined with What's He Got That I Ain't Got?! in the case of Vald's Superpowered Evil Side, who's just as madly in love with Havi. He can't see why Havi is so hung up on his human self, who vacillates between denying any attraction between them and begging Havi to stay with him, when Demon Vald is right there, physically identical in almost every way and always willing to declare how much he wants Havi. |

Spider-Man: Played with. In a high school reunion, this is the reaction from Peter's old schoolmates (and jocks) when discovering that Peter (they remember him just as a nerd Butt-Monkey) is married to Mary Jane, a super-model. Played with in a crossover between Spider-Man and Invincible: after the latter meets MJ, Spider-Man expects him to bring up the trope, but Invincible points out that Spider-Man is attractive, funny, and a pretty nice guy so it makes sense that someone like MJ would be attracted to him. |

Harley Quinn: Batman straight up asks why Harley keeps defending Joker when he mistreats her so badly. None of the other inmates at Arkham understand why Harley has such faith that Joker will rescue her when she's been clearly ditched. Her best friend Poison Ivy especially doesn't get why Harley still loves him. Unusually, eventually Harley ends up agreeing with Ivy and dumps Joker. Harley herself doesn't get why Ivy would even look at a goof like Kite Man and openly tells her she could do better than him. By the end of "Trapped," she warms up to him after seeing how far he was willing to go for Ivy and really looks happy when he proposes to her. |

Elinor, in Sense and Sensibility, observes that both of Mrs. Jennings's daughters seem to be in completely ill-suited marriages. Mary (Lady Middleton) is vapid and society-oriented, with no sense of humor, and she's married to the cheerful and down-to-earth Sir John. Meanwhile, Charlotte is empty-headed and good-humored, and her husband Mr. Palmer is a snob who wants to be better than everyone. Despite this, however, both marriages appear to be fairly happy; Mr. Palmer is much nicer to his wife in private than in public, and the Middletons are never shown to have any particular quarrels. | |

Susan is a former kindergarten teacher who's a gentle, caring, well-meaning Moral Guardian mother who dances to heavy metal, loves her family for the way they are, only wishes for them to be more like a family, and genuinely tries to do the best for her sons (though it's often wasted effort because of her inability to understand the fact that problems teens face can't really be solved with methods used to solve problems for preschoolers and kindergarteners).

Nick & Vicki in season 17 of The Amazing Race. Vicki was a tough yet friendly Determinator who regularly creamed her male competitors in physical-oriented challenges even with her asthma, and despite her and Nick's consistently low placements, she kept an optimistic outlook on the race. Sadly for her, she got stuck with Nick who contrary to his appearance, a wimp. He was easily their anchor and contributed next to nothing. If that's not bad enough he was easily the most hated racer than season by being a bastard boyfriend to Vicki, constantly verbally abusing her. Heck not even just her, even other contestants. Even worse, was in the 10th leg he forced Vicki to quit the Roadblock thoroughly obliterating any chance they had at catching up, not that the viewers wanted them too. By the end of the season, everyone was asking themselves this. | |

In Devil Venerable Also Wants To Know, virtually everyone in the cast is of the opinion that Baili Qingmiao deserves far better than He Wenzhao who spends a good amount of his time making her cry by sleeping around with other women or treating his own feelings and desires as more important than hers. Wenren E even tries matchmaking her with a better man to get her to come to her senses about He Wenzhao. | |

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun: Both Mikoshiba and Nozaki are baffled by Sakura's feelings for Nozaki, though of course the latter is oblivious to the fact that she likes him specifically. Mikoshiba thinks Sakura's mental image of Nozaki sounds really obnoxious and Nozaki is puzzled about what Sakura likes about someone who is emotionally dense and takes her help for granted. Misunderstood with Wakamatsu's friends. Upon noticing that Wakamatsu's been paying more attention to and spying on Seo, they are horrified and question what is it that he sees is so appealing about her. He's actually wondering the same thing: surely she must have some kind of good point, but all his investigating shows her constantly being annoying. |

Dragon Age II Should Hawke romance Fenris instead of Anders, the latter will stop them and outright ask why, likening him to a dog. He will also ask this if Hawke romances Merrill, worded differently. If a male Hawke romances Merrill, a rivaled Isabela will ask her what she could possibly see in Hawke, not knowing where to even begin listing his flaws. This is not a straight example, as Isabela actually rather supports the relationship, so long as Hawke understands that breaking Merrill's heart would have unfortunate consequences, so she's probably just having a little fun at Hawke's expense. If female Hawke romances Sebastian, Varric will remark to Cassandra that he never understood how that worked; Hawke is his best friend, but Varric really doesn't like Sebastian very much, and he invokes the trope by name. |

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: During one episode, Stocking falls in love with a guy who's incredibly disgusting, foul, sexist, and just all-around unpleasant. Panty (and every single onlooker) wonders what Stocking sees in him. Even worse, the guy is quite obviously a ghost, raising even more questions. The question might be finally answered during the Gainax Ending when Stocking reveals herself to be a demon before slicing Panty into 666 pieces. | |

Urusei Yatsura: No one seems to understand why Lum is in love with Ataru, particularly her many admirers. For the record, Ataru has no idea either. In the second film, Beautiful Dreamer, Shinobu outright asks Lum this very question. Though considering that she and Ataru have been close friends since childhood and even dated for a while, it's probably less that she can't see the appeal and more so wondering how she's able to put up with his wandering eye. Ran's infatuation with Rei baffles Lum and all the guys around her. Whilst Rei is incredibly handsome, it's widely agreed that his looks are really all he has going for him, as he's a brainless eating machine prone to spontaneously snapping into his ushitora form. In addition to all of these sizable faults, Rei is utterly infatuated with Lum (who can't stand him) and literally indifferent to Ran's crush on him. In their first story together, Ran tries to claim that Rei loves her by asserting that he ate her lunch more carefully and patiently than he did the others he stole, only for Rei to accept Cherry's lunch and eat it with the exact same relish, with Ran even admitting as much. Through the entire series, the only hint that Rei might have some feelings for Ran is one incident where he saves her from a fall instead of a pile of food. Ran's constant bribing of Rei with food for his time is likened to somebody taming a pet. |

Nah in Fire Emblem: Awakening is a rare case of a Kid from the Future wondering this about her own parents! Though given that her mother Nowi is not only a Cloud Cuckoo Lander but a 1000-year-old dragon with the body of a pre-teenage girl, it's kinda understandable. To wit, her first assumption on why her folks got married is that she's under the assumption that her father got Nowi pregnant.note In the Japanese version, she instead assumes that her father is a paedophile. | |

Many characters (justifiably) have this reaction to Lois' marriage to Peter in Family Guy. In the episode "Petarded", Brian flat-out asks her, "Have you ever stopped to think, "Wow, I'm married to that guy?" Lois simply states that she represses such thoughts... and as it turns out, she has done so so often that she's developed a brain tumor. Death asks her this question verbatim after Peter asks him to elaborate on his previous sentence, even though he was obviously finished talking. The canon answer is that she finds fat men attractive, and they share a sense of humor. Whether this is enough to make up for Peter's regular Jerkassitude is another matter. This seems to Retcon from an earlier episode when she couldn't form sentences when Peter became thin and muscular. On the other hand, finding muscular people more attractive than fat guys doesn't mean she's not also attracted to fat guys. It's also worth noting that Lois has proven she isn't much of a catch herself on numerous occasions. |

Dragon Ball Z: This was pretty much everyone's reaction (in-universe and out) to the idea that Bulma and Vegeta would end up together. Especially during the Android/Cell saga, where Vegeta more or less ignores Bulma's very existence despite having fathered her child. Future Trunks, however, thinks he has an inkling: Their optimism would prove vindicated with Vegeta's gradual Character Development from a Nominal Hero who could go back heel at any time to a true Knight in Sour Armor. |

Kaiju Girl Caramelise: When the Ginjuuji High student body discovers that Arata is dating Kuroe, they're almost universally stunned (and in the case of the girls, extremely jealous). Kuroe was so worried about everyone reacting this way that she unsuccessfully tried to keep it a Secret Relationship beforehand. One classmate even asks Arata if Kuroe is threatening him. The only two classmates who aren't shocked and/or disappointed are Manatsu (who helped set the two up) and Rairi (whose insecurities about her appearance and painful experiences with a boy she liked make her naturally sympathetic to Kuroe). | |

Rebecca of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has a tendency of dragging normally reasonable people into her chaos and, despite all of the strange and morally questionable things she does, making them care about her (usually to their detriment, at least in the first few seasons). It's eventually lampshaded when White Josh finds himself face to face with Rebecca's craziness and wonders aloud why all of his straight friends are in love with this girl. | |

Friends: Played for Laughs in Series 2. After he and Rachel break up, Ross feels this way towards Rachel's new boyfriend Russ. The joke being that he's completely oblivious to the fact that Russ looks and acts exactly like him. After discovering Monica and Chandler are dating, Phoebe and Rachel comment that "she could do better". Played with as Chandler, despite his neuroses, is actually a great boyfriend and he and Monica are very happy together. (Plus she has plenty of her own issues so they're well-suited.) As Rachel and Phoebe have failed to establish successful relationships themselves at this point, it's more of a justified case of extremely jealousy than them having any reasonable criticisms. |

Lily gets this reaction a lot in The Peace Not Promised when she starts returning Severus' affections. In fairness, her friends didn't just object to his proud and prickly personality, unkempt appearance, or poverty; they were also worried about his former association with the Death Eaters, who would torture and kill Lily if given the chance. Lily's confident that he's repented and reformed, but not everyone is so readily convinced. She's eventually able to win them over when they see how much good he's doing. | |

In Full Metal Panic!, Leonard, the jealous Romantic False Lead, says something along these lines to Kaname about her love for Sousuke. He comments on how it's ridiculous that she likes Sousuke more than him since Sousuke killed hundreds of people. Little does Leonard realize that he's fighting a losing battle when the object of desire is Sousuke. He also doesn't understand that even though he's never killed anyone in person, his own hands aren't exactly clean. Given that he's a high-ranking member of a terrorist organization and everything. There's also the part where Sousuke is not only a hardened professional soldier who's never (intentionally) hurt anyone outside a battlefield but a genuinely nice guy who will literally go to the ends of the earth for the girl he loves. Leonard's a jerkass whose idea of courtship is forcing a kiss on the unwilling object of his affection, kidnapping her, and setting her up to have her personality erased and her body stolen in order to rewrite reality to his liking. Ironically, Kaname herself asks this question when she learns Sousuke received a love letter from a girl at school, baffled that any student in their right mind would want to date someone as crazy as him (certainly not herself, no siree). Kyoko points out that not everyone necessarily knows or believes Sousuke's reputation and that, well, he's very physically attractive. Sure enough, the poor girl in question just had no idea how outlandish Sousuke's behavior could be and wisely decides to run away screaming when he attempts to interrogate her at gunpoint. |

In the Doctor Who New Adventures novel Happy Endings, the entertainment at Benny and Jason's wedding reception includes a song by the Earth Reptile singers Jacquillian and Sanki which drags both of them (but mostly Jason) before concluding that that's love for you.
