Aussie Cosmo 4
I was featured in Cosmopolitan Australia! Working with the talented Julia Naughton, I analyzed the fridges of 4 couples who don’t live together to see how compatible they are on the dating front.
Here’s couple 4 of 4…
Batting clean up is Rachael and Joel.
Crosby, Stills and Nash taught us to “Teach our children well”. Joel is probably doing just that. Like our above couples, it’s always fun to see what kind of clues we can pick up from the front of one’s fridge. The fact that he’s got a Teachers Health Fund calendar on his fridge helps connect the dots.
Can we also guess he’s in real estate? Sure. But what’s interesting is there are two different real estate company calendars on there, both from 2014, so I have to assume he can’t work at both.
Now, I can’t say that Rachael works with kids, but she might be a kid at heart. She has that cute little chameleon and climbing dude on her fridge, which is very sweet. And with that much milk, she has to come to the harsh realization that she’s no longer 6.
Now, lets put on our detective hats and see what else we can uncover…
Clue
They each have more than 1 beer brand.
Conclusion
They’re both handy hosts.
With more than 1 beer brand, they’re catering to more than one taste. This is a quality I like to see.
It’s also a good sign that they’re both social, and thus compatible on that front. Plus, Rachael has a watermelon. If you’re buying uncut watermelon, the odds are it’s to host peeps at your pad or bring it to a buddy’s for a BBQ.
Clue
They both stock plenty of fruits and veggies
Conclusion
They both have bonable bods.
Nothing says more about our health than our food and drink. Any trainer will tell you that if you’re eating like shit, all the exercise in the world can only do so much.
In addition to the fruits and veggies, they both stock yogurt and a serious stash of salad dressing.
If someone is not taking of their looks when they’re single, they’ll most likely look even worse when they’re married. By no means would I say life is easy when you’re single. But it sure ain’t easier when you’re married with a mortgage and 2 kids. The window we have to make it to the gym gets tighter and tighter.
Now, I’m not talking about being a size 2 or a size 12. I’m talking about being healthy.
As for Joel, he’s probably working out as he has Powerade and with only 1 bottle of water, it can’t be his primary water source at home, so I have to assume the bottle is for on the go.
And the promising sign about Rachael’s produce drawer? There’s a shitload of produce in it.
It’s good to see all you Ausies eating well. Americans are so fat, half our population can be seen from the Space Station.
Clue
They both have a half-gallon of milk.
Conclusion
They’re both AOK in the strong bones department. And both big on breakie.
As I see plenty of overlapping foods, with enough to share, it tells me they’re making a place for each other in their lives.
And I’d assume they spend more weekend time at Rachael’s house. The last time I saw so many eggs, I was watching Chicken Run, and with no other baking ingredients, I have to assume they’re for breakfast. To fill out the perfect breakie meal, she has bacon, almond milk and fruit.
Clue
They both have relatively inexpensive fridges.
Conclusion
Timing is on their side.
By the looks of their fridges and the brands they buy, they look compatible financially. Neither one of them are getting laid based off their fridge model (we’re not talking a Sub Zero or Viking here), but they’re a step up from starter models.
Plus, they both spend more for foreign beers, and even though Corona is considered piss in Mexico, they’ve done a brilliant job marketing themselves as a premiere brand around the world.
As I touch on above, timing is so important when it comes to dating. If they’re in a similar place in their careers and lives, the timing is more conducive for a long-term relationship.
Both also look like they’re renting. (Or they have to consider firing their interior decorators ;) This is not a crack on them, or their fridges, these are just not the kind of fridges you’d normally see in owner-occupied homes.
Clue
Both of their fridge pix are fuzzy.
Conclusion
They’re either both are in desperate need of LASIC or will never make a living as a photographer.
Final Formula
I think we can sum up Joel and Rachael with the below dating formula…
J + R < $$$ + > bonable bods + > Pig Pen = 1 CC
Translation…
- Joel and Rachael don’t have a ton of money but look solid financially
- Both have bonable bods
- Both are not neat freaks but are cleaner than Pig Pen
- Which makes them 1 Compatible Couple
