Fellow goes to the doctor.

« Doc, I can barely breathe after walking only a few steps. And I even have trouble getting up after sitting down. »

Doctor replies, matter-of-factly, « I’m not surprised. You are grossly obese. You need to go on a diet. »

Fellow is outraged : « How DARE you ‘fat shame’ me. I INSIST on a second opinion! »

Doc replies: « OK, you’re ugly, too. »

Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I have found youuuuu….

(Bonus…in dubbed versions, the dubbing team has a field day picking songs in the dubbed language that fit the trope. In the Italian version, she sings the « Sempre libéra » aria from Verdi’s « La Traviata »).

I think there is also just a bit of : "Elite university researchers considered the issue from the point of view of men having sex with women; U. Wisconsin from the point of view of men masturbating". So the joke goes two ways (elite university researchers are getting laid; U. Wisconsin men are just jerking off).

The joke doesn't really work because the expression "you guys" is now often used when addressing a mixed group, or even a group of women.

I suspect the OP's original language is not English, because he used the expression "a pair", which is used in many non-English languages to describe what a native English-speaker would call "a couple".
