Was Claire out of Phil's league?


Re-watching the show, Claire is clearly a very attractive and intelligent woman with a high earning potential, a good work-ethic and sense of organization. Meanwhile Phil is kind of stupid and while he looks okay, he is certainly not oustandingly handsome or athletic.

Did he luck out by landing a wife so far out of his league?

reply

Phil is good-looking, loving, funny, and makes a good living as a realtor. Look at the house they live in--in L.A. it's probably worth a few million. She is not out of his league in any way. That being said, however, he is kind of an idiot.

Not at all, Claire was pretty but nothing extraordinary and Phil was a good looking and fun guy.

reply

No. He's a handsome guy. Goofy, but not bad-looking. Odd couple due to her personality.

NOT AT ALL...SHE IS OBSESSIVE AND MANIC AND HE IS SILLY AND LIGHT...SHE IS TIGHTLY WOUND AND HE IS A SENSITIVE FLOWER...THEY BALANCE EACH OTHER WELL.
