^ it's not as simple as "if he loved her he wouldn't care if she were unmatchable" bc it was a shock, no one has ever been unmatchable. Plus he wants to protect Biana from shame and if he becomes a bad match she will get shamed to. One other thing: Nobody in the Lost Cities actively wants to be a bad match (unless Keefe does in order to bother his dad). Even Sophie doesn't want to. This is actually a really good way for Fitz to overcome a big thing in life. Now, Fitz's family has always been very respected and no one has ever been a bad match. Fitz doesn't want to be the one to bring shame. It doesn't seem like he really care about being a bad match except for the fact that it will strongly affect his parents and Biana. The bad match idea seems to be the device SWM is using to show Fitz developing. They were kinda rushing, so now they are stepping back and Fitz can think over it all and talk to Biana about it and between the two of them he'll overcome this. With Sokeefe, Keefe would be getting over anything, he would have zero development to happen because he doens't seem to care about matchmaking and doesn't care how his dad looks.

No matter what,
