This is really not important since women don't want a man who is in their league. They want someone who is in the "big leagues".

If you can figure what type of woman considers you to be in the big leagues, you can probably stop worrying about it and be satisfied and happy being single.

I have no idea. I don't think most women think in terms of 'leagues'.

There's many factors to consider and I've wondered about it myself because it's not an easy thing to define. The most obvious factors are physical attractiveness, how successful someone has been in life, and a variety of other things which tend to categorize people. I've looked through profiles of quite a few women and quickly came to the conclusion that I was not in their league and I have no doubt that I was correct. I've also seen profiles of women who I felt were not quite up to the level that I was seeking. In order to be succesful in dating I do think it's important to come to some understanding of what you have to offer and to be realistic about it.

But there's women you have a realistic chance with, and others you don't. It's not all based upon looks..

I agree. it's a composite, not just on looks terms.

It also seems a lot of people see leagues as being offensive, but I think they're natural. leagues are not rigid though, but even still it makes sense to me.

I've been brutally dumped by women who make a lot less money than I do...

My point is, i would like to know who I have a realistic chance with...

One extreme, is looks. I was hanging out with my best friend and his two sisters this weekend, and I realize his sisters are way out of my league looks wise.. yet I still felt crappy, even though I have no chance in hell.
