I have a buddy who is only average looking, but has a very good income (CPA), very nice truck and is buying his house. The key word in the last sentence is "average" when it comes to looks! He is always tring to meet ladies that look like Models! How far does he get in a relationship with them? Well, he is still single! They like his truck (of course), like his money (of course) and likes his house (of course), but his LOOKS, well
As for when I was single, I never-ever asked a gal out that a lot of men would consider "hot/foxy"! For one thing, I couldn't afford them!
Now my wife, she is as average looking as I am........great match!
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?
Usually, it's the other person that determines that.

Ah, so you're going to continue to post hypotheticals just like Weekend Traveler (the dazzling duo) did? I'll bite but it's only going to be bite, catch and release.
First what do YOU think it means?
What do YOU think determines anyone's "league"? Tell us more about what YOU think where your question is concerned.
Does money transcend "league"? - what do YOU think?
Tell us about your experiences dating in and out of "the league." Has it been a problem for you? If so why?
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?
Yeah, ask Steve McNair....Magic Johnson....and many others what you can "get". This is the problem with picking out women solely based upon looks.
I don't know. I can pretty much talk to anybody, and I'm not intimidated by anybody.
That being said, if you're walking around thinking that people are out of your league, then it's pretty much a self-examination moment more than anything. I mean, would you date you?

I never thought of thinking that way. I mean I think I would look kinda silly sitting in a restaurant, ordering for two and being the only one there talking to myself. If I feel like its a bad date, then I can just walk out. But then who would pay the bill?

True. But you could admire yourself. And you'd be terribly interested in everything you had to say, right?
"Out of your league" is something you'd think people would've outgrown by high school. Unfortunately, the real world isn't all that different. If you're an average looking guy and you walk into a room with a gorgeous woman, people will look at you and wonder how you ever landed a woman like that. Likewise, if you're wealthy, educated and successful and you're dating someone who never finished high school, people will wonder why you're with her. It's implied that you could do better and that you're dating beneath you. Ultimately, it all comes down to what other people think and whether you even care what they think. If you don't, that's great. If you're someone who factors in other people's opinion to the extent that it would determine who you date or don't date, then maybe you need to go back to high school.
