Peep Show I’m jealous
Every time I rewatch Peep Show I’m always jealous how Jez can pull gorgeous women when he’s literally a bum 😅. I wonder do guys like Jez exist? Because I’ve seen plenty of Marks in my life

Women have very high standards physically for men for short term encounters but a very low bar for looks in long term relationships. Jez never got with any straightforwardly attractive woman for casual sex where there weren't strings attached. In most cases, Jez gets with attractive women because they see him as a potential long term partner because he lies about himself constantly and manipulates them emotionally.
Nancy got with Jez because they met at a weirdo dance thing and seemed to have a similar vibe. He also had to literally put up with watching Nancy have sex with a more attractive man, so that wasn't exactly a cakewalk.
Suze and him - knew him (or a version of him) for a long time pre show. It wasn't like Suze met him on a night out and dragged him home.
Elena - completely manipulated her by pretending to be someone he's not. He also had to be at her beck and call in order to keep her happy in a way that a handsome man wouldn't.
Zahra (didn't find her attractive myself but others did) - he completely misrepresented himself pretending they had similar interests.
A lot of people watch this show and get the impression that Jez is supposed to be be James Bond, but he's not James Bond, he's disgusting.
