My two sons have come up with this term and they don't shy from saying it out loud whenever they see what they define as an "odd couple", that is, a beautiful woman and a plain looking man. I guess to them it means:" How did this guy catch such an attractive babe?"(Sorry guys, but when I remembered this, I thought it would make a good post. BTW, now that your secret is out, it is not advisable to use the term when meeting friends and family anymore!!)
In their best seller Freakonomics, Stephen J. Dubner & Steven D. Levitt, have asked a similar question:"Why Do Beautiful Women Sometimes Marry Unattractive Men?" And the answer they came up with was: "It may be that the unattractive man has a lot of money, or some other compelling attribute. But a new study by Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, suggests it may be a simple supply-and-demand issue: there are more beautiful women in the world than there are handsome men."
Guys, I know that you have read the book, and because you are still asking "How Fish?" I am guessing that the above answer did not convince you. If I were you, I would be happy with this phenomenon, since it improves your chance in marrying a mozza. I am not implyng that you are unattractive. On the contrary, I think the two of you are the best looking guys ever. But this feeling might have a lot to do with an Egyptian proverb that involves monkeys, mothers, & gazelles!!!
p.s. The image of the monkey couple was chosen instead of any real couples to avoid lawsuits.

Success, status and money are great attributes for sexiness and women find men with either one or all of those extremely attractive....all you need to do is look around at some of the famous old people having young models as acessories for wives...not many women can beat the temptation of having luxurious life to "love with a good looking man".....
hahahaha!!
what an article mom!! i have so much to say and don't even know where to start:
1) now i'm going to have to come up with another thing to say when i see odd couples cuz you've given away my secret!
2) the supply and demand argument is heavily flawed and i'm not convinced by it.
3) i'm so honored that you chose to write about "how fish!" when i just read on the FRONT PAGE OF A FRENCH NEWSPAPER: "Un journaliste égyptien condamné pour avoir évoqué l'état de santé du président Moubarak"...about ibrahim issa. i'd like to think that you had already heard about this but just decided to discuss how fish instead...but that's probably not the case..
Mo, I always knew what you were thinking everytime you saw me with uncle Omar......even I asked myself "How Fish"........
Hahaha!!! yea, that's a How Shark!!
....juuuuuuuuuust joking, uncle Omar is the best!!
this is the most politically incorrect/funniest post ever!
-you know who i am.. :)
I LOVE THE PICTURE!!!!!!!!
