We get into serious problems of self-perception here. As illustrated by the interchange between JJ and shesus above. We could have the same conversation (granted, in triplicate) here at Stellurkbastid headquarters. Something like "Well, THEY'RE hot. Me, whatever." Times three.
So, while it's easy to look at the Julia Roberts / Lyle Lovett phenomenon (which, by the way, ended in divorce after two years, throwing the curve off the alleged happiness of such a relationship) and say, well gee there's a mismatch here, it's much harder to apply it to a relationship that YOU'RE in, because you're YOU, and you can't actually look at yourself objectively.
