Speak for yourself.

A good ship needs to be yin and yang so they have the right balance of similarities and differences to better play off of each other. For that reason I ship both rarimac and flutterbulk.

Most of those same pairings are characters without anything to their nature, being little more than background ponies. Big Mac and Rarity tend to get paired in situations stemming from Applejack (friend & brother, for example), or the CMC (sisters are members). That said, they don’t have much in common generally speaking, but there’s also not many stallions with ‘personalities’ in the show, so Big Mac gets pretty much all the mares, being one of the more interesting stallions.

You sure, because I kept seeing hints here and there that they may be “more” than just co-workers.

And yet, other ships in other fandoms are popular because of that very thing. Plus, they have a love of singing.

@Background Pony #D6AF  
Filli Vanilli just established them as “coworkers”. Otherwise, little commonalities, differing lifestyles, differing interests…
 
I see some Rarimac here and there, but it’s seldom sensual romance. Usually just shameless clop of Rarity in heat and passing by Big Mac before getting rutted in her boutique with the windows open.

@Background Pony #D6AF  
nothing in common, hard to bond

OK, could someone PLEASE explain, in great length and detail, WHY this ship ISN’T more popular, especially since “Filli Vanilli” could be considered a big ship tease between these two?

Being a great listener… Sometimes a thankless job, yet it’s worth its weight in gold to those who need it.

I can totally imagine Big Mac being that platonic friend that all his sister’s friends pour their heart out to. The guy must be a great listener.

Thanks in that case I will replete my comment but with the proper regulations intact:
 
“Oh Big Mac I just(upp) don’t understand(uppp) whyyyyyy! AuuguhuhuhuhuAguhuhuuuu”  
“Er eyup…a real shame….all this..with that…pony miss Rarity.”  
“(Sniiff sniff)…You always know how to charm a lady with your fine words Macintosh(er?)always so gentle and caring and dependabl, reliable…and strong,really strong with muscles(Ms.Rarity?)all over your big red soft body…”  
“Um eyup?”  
“Mac make love with me.”  
(40 minutes later)  
“Big Mac you en here? We need to get out the shovels for t-BIG MAC!RARITY! What are you two doing!?  
||“Applejack why all the yelling? Can’t you see were making love! Macintosh was so kind to help me transport Trenderhoof all the way to sweet Apple acres and once he wakes up me and Trendy can finally get our star fated love date I know we must have! ||  
“Big Mac how could you!”  
“Sorry sis you know I can’t leave a mare in distress”

I am not aware of how to “spoiler” comments. If you could enlighten me that be great.

@Antonyourknee  
Spoiler if you’re going to make inappropriate comments.

this guy…i like this guy.

Tell Rarity to go crying on Applejack’s shoulder and not to bother you.
