Soooo. What are leagues about if not looks and socioeconomic status?

Its the combination of those things with personality as well.

If someone is attractive to the majority of people you have to really be something to get their attention. People on opposite ends of what is commonly considered attractive are likely not going to end up with each other.

There is a reason why Miss Kitty went for Matt Dillon and not Festus.
But if Matt wasn't there... maybe she might have gone for Newly or even Doc.

They are probably not attracted to each other so why should they?

I bet there are plenty of short fat poor balding guys that are attracted to Scarlett Johansson but there is no way she's attracted to them. I think that does a great job of illustrating leagues.

Is that so hard? Everyone is something.
What you really have to be ...is what THEY find appealing.

Yeah we'll need to pass certain minimum physical characteristics on the first pass...
but anyone worth being with will have other criteria they look for as well.

I'm not only talking about looks like people keep assuming.

What I am saying is that some people are generally seen as more attractive than others. With celebrities and any examples I can make relatable to people online it does come down to looks but I am sure you also know the people at your work who are just really likable people. They have have lots of options and they can be picky. The more they have to offer the quantity and quality of people interested in them and the more likely it is they'll get what they ideally want. This is opposed to someone the majority of people would find unattractive like a homeless person who is likely insane. If a homeless person wants to find a partner they're going to have to take what they can get because they're not bringing much to the table.

Not really. We do not actually know ScarJo. Maybe she thinks short, bald guys are sexy.

What I mean is when people feel two unattractive people should date just because they are unattractive. People act like just because they can't get what they want they should take something they don't want which is pretty stupid.

I agree with you. Why settle for something you never wanted?
