Which gender thinks they can "bat out of their league" more males or females?

Example a male/female below average in most departments, yet they think they can get with a man/woman above average in most departments

Call it how you see it and get voting

That's an easy one. Women have makeup, clothes and other methods to appear more attractive to a man above their league.

Also, they have the abundance of above average men who will date and sleep with multiple women below their league.

Both do it about equally. Men tend to marry more out of their league, women tend to bang guys out of their league but rarely marry them.

A "less hot" chick could get sex from a guy out of her league if she has a hot enough body, hence the typical "buttaface".

A "less hot" male, or even an unattractive male can get and often marry out of their league provided their wallets are fat enough. How else could someone like Jay-Z get a Beyonce.

Every girl thinks they're Cinderella, and eventually some handsome prince will whisk them away to true happiness. Pretty Woman is another classic example: rich, powerful dude marries hooker. As long as she's hot, most guys don't care that much about a girl's background.

More men who are below average in looks can get a woman who is above average in looks.

More women who are below average in money and power can get a man who is above average in money and power.

This is just what seems to be the most common, IMO. Feel free to correct me.

OP, you may have to define whether you mean dating or marriage. How low an above average person is willing to reach for dating and casual sex situations is very different from who they would agree to marry.

I think for dating, women can go higher but for marriage men can go higher.

This post is right on the money, hence my "unsure" vote.

I think more women THINK they can, but whether they actually DO is another question!

No, not all women think that...you and those pesky generalizations! And again with the "as long as she's hot, most men have no standards". Cheese and rice, when will you learn? I would say that there are plenty of arguments to go either way but you're too much with this "all women/men" crap!

Of course not "all women", but most of the ones I meet, yes. It has occurred to me to meet more women outside of the city, as the country girls almost always have less baggage and stupidity to deal with.
