What would you do if you fell in love with a guy WAY below your league? I would also ask this to the fellas but I think its a way more complicated for a woman to make a choice. Would you pursue a relationship or ignore the feelings?

Question 1) What would you do if he was financially out of your league? For example you are a lawyer making good money and the guy you love washes dishes in a restaurant making like 17k a year.

Question 2) If he was status wise out of your league what would you do? For example you are a popular model looking woman and he is a geeky loser that all women find physically unattractive who is socially awkward but has a great personality that made you fall in love with him.

I think it's all decided on a case-to-case basis. For better or worse (it may very well be for worse), the majority of people throw their laundry lists out of the window when somebody catches their fancy.

I've never listened to others.

If I like him, that's enough.

It depends for each situation. If he is a hard worker it's not bad, but a bum no one wants.

Not sure I can recall a single girl that walked away when lightning struck, or guy for that matter when there was no hefty impediment to the thing.

1. First, I would have to figure out if he was with me for financial reasons. Does he just want a sugar mamma? Does he want to move in already? I would push him to go back to school or get into some kind of biz.

2. As long as there is real passion, this wouldn't matter at all.

I wouldn't fall in love with someone way below my league. It just wouldn't come up. Then again, I think the whole 'league' thing is b.s.

The dishwasher and I would have absolutely NOTHING substantial in common. And obviously not the same kind of goals. We'd come from two entirely different ways of thinking.

People don't fall in love with 'great personalities.' What makes someone's personality 'great' to me is our ability to connect on many common levels, issues, senses of humor. Not everyone even has the same opinion of what a 'great personality' is.

Money is not the issue...the same things that put you in the economic level in which you reside make you more likely to have other things in common. Similarly, however, I wouldn't like someone better just because they had money. Bunches and bunches of no class, uneducated morons have money.

If you take care of your body and have good hygiene, how ugly could you possibly really be?

Leagues are a poor way to categorize people. It's all about synergy.

Your question doesn't make much sense to me. If I fell in love with the guy, then obviously I'm pretty happy with the dude. I've never heard of anyone falling in love without knowing someone...and then "pursuing a relationship".
