Ya, my list was more of things that I liked about Wooton and Penny being together and not as much of how to persuade a non-Wooton and Penny shipper. So, in ten points, this is why Wooton and Penny should get married (for the non-shippers):
1. Wooton is not a solely comedic character. What I've found is that a lot of people think of Wooton as stupid, or out of touch and therefore not ready for marriage. Wooton is actually very smart as shown in almost every episode. When he says things that are strange or (sometimes) funny, he always laughs at his own jokes, showing that he knows he's being ridiculous on purpose. Therefore, I believe he is fully ready for marriage and is really just someone with a unique sense of humor.
2. Wooton is sensitive to other's feelings. He is an extreme extrovert who not only needs to be around people but cares about them and adding to what I said in point one, he knows when to stop joking and focus on either being there for someone or cheering them up. He would honestly make a wonderful husband and father, if not only because he would be able to quickly tap into what his wife and children are feeling and no exactly what to do to help them.
3. Penny, like Wooton, can act silly or childish at times but only when appropriate. Around other adults and in serious situations she has proved herself to be very intelligent and mature.
4. Penny is an artist. To be an artist, one has to be in tune with the world around them, in a visual way. So even though Penny may not be super in tune to people's deeper emotions, when things in that category are pointed out to her, she understands quickly, because she can quickly put herself in someone else's shoes. She is, however, insightful about the world and understands creation in a way that is very unique.
5. Wooton though he too is an artist, better understands things verbally and more literal. As I said before he also understands people's emotions, but can still easily understand things from Penny's point of view.
6. They both have strengths and weaknesses, but when you put them together, working in their strengths, it's beautiful. When Penny is freaking out over something, Wooton can calm her down. And when Wooton is being too silly or is in his own world, Penny can spark him back into reality. Penny helps Wooton see things visually and Wooton helps Penny see things verbally. Giving both of them a deeper understanding of themselves, others, and God.
7. They inspire each other. Anytime they're around one another, motivation and confidence are sparked. They are the most comfortable and self-assured because they share similar interests and their personalities work well together.
8. They, love each other. Now, I'm no expert on love or anything, (I mean I AM only 13) but you have to admit that no matter what any fans say about their relationship, they do clearly love each other and that IS an important part of getting married. And it's obvious they love each other because of their personalities and spirits that draw them to each other.
9. Because they support one another's personalities so well, I think they could get through hard times because they can get on the same page mentally when discussing things.
10. People need to understand that Wooton and Penny are not Eugene and Katrina, they're not Connie and Mitch, and they're not Jason and Tasha. They are Wooton and Penny. People are going to be disappointed with any fictional relationship if they expect it to resemble another, especially one that takes place in the same universe. They're going to have their own struggles and confusions and failings. Their marriage may not be as perfect as Eugene and Katrina's appears to be because they simply aren't Eugene and Katrina, and when people start treating Wooton and Penny's relationship as something separate and new and exciting, with different twists and extensions and tragedies then I think people will be more open to the idea of Wooton and Penny getting married, because when you don't have any expectations then you can't as easily be disappointed. So let go of your "perfect relationships" expectations, and let Wooton and Penny's crazy relationship play out. You might be pleasantly surprised at what you see.
P.S. I know people make the argument that Penny and Wooton's relationship wasn't fully developed enough for them to get married yet. But that doesn't mean that Wooton and Penny shouldn't get married, it means the writers, for whatever reason decided their relationship wasn't going take 11 years to develope.

), and it' gets annoying at times. A lot of things in art/entertainment are how you feel about them... there are not always extremely logical answers. (sometimes there are of course, but still) We all need to remember to be kind to each other and respecting each other's opinions. =) kthxbye.
