Would you go out with a guy your friends make fun of?

It depends. If I am so into the guy, then why not? I will just have to tell my friends to back off and give the guy a chance. But if I just want to test the guy or I’m not really into him, I would rather be friends with him first. Again, I will have to tell my friends to back off.

I remember thinking about this when a guy and a girl from high school became a couple. I found out about it in Facebook and I was one of the first ones to discuss it with friends. The guy was a class clown. The girl was one of those we didn’t notice but was just there. But it just fascinated all of us that she fell for the guy. To be blunt about it, he is not good-looking. He isn’t someone you can proudly bring home to mom and dad. He isn’t filthy rich that you’d fall for his pocket and would ignore his other flaws. I guess the girl really fell for him then.

But it made me question my beliefs. Am I really that shallow when it comes to love? Am I like everyone else who would ridicule, laugh, make fun of an odd couple? Do I shake my head and think it stupid that a girl fell in love with a guy everyone makes fun of?

Are you? Would you?
