What's everyone's take here on "leagues" in dating? Do you think they're real?

Yeah, because for example a successful guy or woman normally wouldn't date someone that's in income brackets below them. So a guy making 20 grand a year would probably hardly ever get with a woman making a few hundred grand a year. Or if a woman is a legitimate 9 or 10 in looks, why would she date a guy that's a 4 or 5 in looks unless you use an extreme example like if he's wealthy or famous.

What if that 4 or 5 is a 10 in her eyes? Or vice versa for a man and a woman?

Well, that probably hardly ever happens. I doubt that someone deemed as a 4 or 5 in looks, would be a 10 to a guy or woman that is deemed as incredibly attractive & looks like a male or female model.

It's not, it's about both looks & status.

The question is more if I'm in her league. I've had some very attractive girls interested in me, and some rather unattractive ones shoot me down. I'll never understood it.

Maybe that just means that those very attractive girls were into you and the unattractive weren't? So like if the girl thinks you're good enough for her and she wants you then she'll make it clear? So like you said, if she thinks you're in her league. Hm.

Btw fireball is delicious!
