'You don't see couples like us in the movies,' Liza Thomas, 25, told Newsweek.
Treva Brandon Scharf, a Los Angeles-based relationship coach, tolda set type doesn't necessarily hold singletons back from finding love. But a closed mindset certainly does.
"Being rigid about attributes, not only limits your options, it closes you off to potential matches.

"Focusing on physical attributes alone is shallow and entirely misleading," Scharf said."Chemistry is key, but the hot blondes you're always attracted to, or the guys with six-packs you seem to gravitate to, can end up being complete duds. However, having a 'standard' for the kinds of people you date does serve a purpose. Looks matter, but so does the character, so give it equal weight. Along with the hot bod, look for a good heart and soul.
Scharf advises people who have a problem with"mismatched" couples to ask themselves the following questions:Why are you begrudging two people who may look"mismatched" to you, but are actually a perfect match for each other? She added:"They say love is blind, but for people who go on looks alone, I say it isn't blind enough."
