Tom and Amanda Lehman have lived in Stapleton for five years and have many wonderful friendships with neighbors and others living in the neighborhood. Most of those friendships have developed over years, and the couple is hoping their newest potential friendship thrives as well. “We met this great couple at Central Park,” says Amanda. “They seemed nice, but more importantly, they were really good looking. Sometimes I feel like we are out of the loop when it comes to hot couples, so we wanted to befriend them.”
Tom agrees this friendship could be important. “We always notice that good looking couples run around in groups,” says Tom. “We have been feeling lately that maybe we are being left out of that.” Tom feels there are many benefits to hanging out with the extremely attractive crowd. “Well, first of all, when you are hanging out with attractive people, people will perceive you as attractive as well,” says Tom. “Secondly, it is just more pleasant hanging out with good looking people. So, if I can laugh and joke with a hot married mom, that is just more fun than hanging out with one that is not as hot.”
Amanda also feels the pressure to be attractive could be important to their relationship. “If you are always hanging out with people you are more attractive than, there is just no motivation there,” says Amanda. “But, if you are hanging out with some hot crossfit moms, you feel like you will need to step it up a little. And for Tom, if we are having drinks and dinner with in-shape dudes, he may want to exercise a little more, or even eat the same types of meals these good looking guys are eating. It is something that could help our marriage.” Amanda doesn’t think everyone should stress about hanging out with Stapleton’s appearance elite. “The truth is, not everyone is qualified to be friends with good looking people. We are good looking, but could be great if we are appropriately pushed. So, for that reason, we have these new friends, and hopefully, it will be a successful, long-term, friendship.” ]]>
