Statistics show: Men's looks equal their girlfriends if they are in the middle class income range or less.

Very wealthy men's looks can afford to be a lot less than their girlfriends.

So, unless you become very wealthy (millionaire or billionaire), right now you will not get a hotter girl, but someone equal to your looks.

Well, its a little contradictory to say you don't have perfect looks, yet you want someone who is hot. But as for your question, no, beautiful women date not so beautiful men all the time. Chemistry is more than just looks. Its also intelect, emotional connection, etc. I don't care what a guy looks like - if the chemistry is there I'm all for it

I work in sales, so I have alot of attractive co-workers (trust me, I bring the looks average DOWN). Many of the best looking men I have met - basically "10" in the looks department - have wives that are not nearly as physically attractive. None of the wives are un-attractive, but many are 7 or 8's.

Of the 3 I can think of, 1 guy is happily married & total family guy (Which only drives other women even WILDER I've actually had grown women - corporate execs - squeal like schoolgirls when talking about him. ) 1 guy is totally on the make and the last guy I suspect is on the make, but hides it better.

Leagues exist, period.

The more guys who acknowledge this, the better for them. With acceptance comes peace, dudes.

I don't really believe in leagues, but the concept is very sound and something that exists in the real world.

Hot people date hot people, and ugmos date ugmos. Nothing in life was ever fair.

There would be far less emotional hurt, angst and grief in the world if people accepted things that they have little power to change or alter.

People pair up based on PERCEIVED attractiveness rather than actual attractiveness. That's why you'll see men with low self-esteem, but good looks, pair up with less-attractive girls. And not-so-attractive men with high self-esteem dating gorgeous models.

Hate to use numbers, but if a male 9 has self-esteem issues and doesn't think he's good enough for a female 9, he'll feel more comfortable pursuing the female 7's. And we've all seen the male 5's dating the gorgeous female 10's and wonder "is she blind or something? how the hell did that happen?" when, in fact, those male 5's probably perceive themselves to be worth a 10.

just my 2 cents.
