When my male friends or relatives talk about an interest in a specific woman I hear the term, "she is out of your league" mentioned often. I wonder what exactly that means in dating.
I can understand that term in High School. The school nerd is not generally going to get a date with the Cheerleaders or the Home Coming Queen. There is a dating peaking order in High School and in some colleges. What what determines a "person's league" in the adult world exactly? Is is money, career success, the hipness factor, money, social status, sex appeal or just plain looks?
Could a millionaire nerdy looking guy get a date with a foxy sexy girl because he is rich when he would be out of his league if he were a $20K a year grocery stock person? Does money transcend league?
Tell us more about about dating in and out of your league. Is your significant other in your league?

Seriously.. do we need to ask this question? Put the shoe on the other foot... could a millionaire nerdy looking woman get a date with a sexy man because she is rich?
Men: 60% looks, 40% culture, education and personality especially early on. Personality usually increases over time.
Woman: 70% career, personality and culture and 30% looks. Note, career and education are not the same thing. Again personality increases over time in importance.
I just made it up but its good enough. Men and women like looks and success in life but in different proportions and forms.
Just look at professional athletes and musicians. Some of them are ugly as sin, but they've got the hottest women on their arms. They also have some of the most evil gold diggers around, so you get what you pay for. I'm sure Bill Gates can have the hottest women that money can buy, even if they aren't prostitutes, but beneath their outer beauty what is he getting?

Out your league is just another way of saying that the person could do much better.
The problem with this is that different people value things in a person differently. I know one girl that values humor\personality higher than looks and also is very non-materialistic....so she has dated some guys that people might wonder what the heck she saw in them if they were just sitting together somewhere.
I personally value personality, how good of a person they are and looks more than economic status, education etc. So basically I don't care how hot a woman is if she is mean, uninteresting or a generally bad person.
Then the whole "looks" thing is very flexible as one person might like tall skinny blondes while the next likes saucy curvey brunettes.
Its almost as if some people think other people should be with someobdy in the exact looks range even if that person isnt a great person over a really good person u have chemsitry with who according to the person isnt nearly as good looking as their partner..
Its almost as if we assume the better looking person is a better human being and deserves better
