You could do a pro-con list for Susan/Cuthbert yourself, though.  |

Pros:
Cuthbert is sexy, in a 50s sort of way
Ginormica is big and strong. She can protect Cuthbert and make him feel safe.
Cuthbert is always eager to talk and seems emotionally supportive
Ginormica is experienced and patient enough to take things slow
Cuthbert isn't threatened by a woman who's stronger and more famous than him
Cuthbert is highly athletic, which makes him better suited to satisfying Ginormica's particular needs.
Cons:
Cuthbert is a bit prudish
Cuthbert is easily panicked
Ginormica might be a bit hard to approach and intimidating, as a 49'11" celebrity figure.
Feel free to argue or supplement points on this list.

If there are no cons to the relationship, then you either aren't looking at it objectively, or you're not working with fully developed characters. =/ A well-written ship contains cons, otherwise you have no drama, no authenticity, and no chemistry. Relationships devoid of acknowledged conflict lead to bad fanfiction and even worse best-selling YA vampire romance novels.

True you need some cons MvAfanforlife otherwise umm...we're looking at a Garystu....sorry not in the mean way.And you're talking about twlight.....I got some conflict...maybe there ages(Susan and Paulankey)Susan must be in her late 20's or early....while Paulankey is umm 16,15?Just some suggestions. |

Cons don't necessarily mean the relationship is dysfunctional. Rather, the things one love in a romantic partner, and the things that drive one nuts, are often the same thing.
Case in point, my mom's boyfriend takes her on spur-of-the-moment trips to tour ruins, beaches, and tropical forests in South America, because he's wild and impulsive. This is a pro. He also invited over a family to spend the weekend at the house with no plans for dinner or keeping them entertained, and didn't tell mom until 3 hours before they arrived, and he was going to be away most of the weekend, because he's wild and impulsive. This is a con.
If you have a well-written character, the cons will already be there, because they stem from the same attributes as the pros.
