Do you only date people that you think are in your league?

This isn't a big psychological discovery that most people pick their partners on similar or higher attractiveness level, if there is no other need like money or social status.
Hence thinking "she/he is outside my league" very likely an illusion of individual self-perception.
That's why people think instinctively about money if they see a pretty girl with an ugly manlet or handsome stallion with an older good conserved lady. (sometimes is this just a son and his mother LOL)

There is no such thing as being in a league. There are only people who have preferences, but I will never assume what their preferences are. If I am interested in a 10/10 who happens to be a princess who is in line for the throne, I'd go for it. Do I know the end result? Almost certainly, but I'd go for it anyway. Maybe she'll like me.

I have dated from 4 to 9.5. It has no bearing.

It usually seems that way, that or I date guys people consider are "below" me (that really depends on one's perspective though).

Not on purpose, but I guess I always thought I wasn't good or attractive enough to date a hot, "10" guy. I figure most attractive guys will just look at me, laugh, or not even acknowledge me.

So I tend to look for guys that are below or at my league to lessen my chances of being rejected.

I don't know about leagues.
Usually: If they are insane, I end up wanting them.

That is all there is to it.

[unluckyplant710]

Yeahhhhhhh I seam to have the same issue.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't recognize the validity of "leagues" or stratified classes.

[milkes]

No matter what people say there are grades/leagues, based on personality, willingness to life, approaches to many things. The way people look is in a high level dependant on how people live their life + dna.
Coming back to question - yes, I would date someone from different environment. In general people are equal go each other, so why not. Same so called league girl might not be the one if there is no chemistry between us.

[wankiam]

for me no... i have dated all sorts of women and its been that way because i ignore the notion of leagues. yes i have been that guy that others look at and ask what the hell she is doing with me and my simple answer to that is because i talked to her like a human being

[Ronald_25]

No, that is absolute bullshit, you come to someone because they look attractive, you stay because you love them for who they are mentally and spiritually. I am a free spirit and I was confused why girls were still dating me a couple of years ago when I was depressed, emotional and very overweight. It's not all about physical appearances.

[blutwolfe]

yes kinda, but more so along the line of 'types'. Like there's the cut and paste league where you're an average Joe then wondering why a celebrity isn't returning your calls. Like hollywood would be in a league of its own, kinda why they only date in their league.

Like for most of us its either you're attractive or you're not, I wouldn't call it much of a league.

I don’t think about leagues. Connection is more important. If he happens to resemble Bradley Cooper that’s awesome. If he doesn’t but he has a good heart, good personality and makes me laugh, that’s more important.

[lightbulb27]

no, id date below or above my league, but I have only dated within my league as that is what I'm attracted to and what I have available. maybe that is an insulte the girls I've dated, but my league is pretty wide...

[Cruciatusdeatheater]

I try to date anyone that I like. I’ve gotten with people out of my league and one way out. It just depends on you and what you can bring to the table.

[Blair1994]

Its better just to chat to various people and see what happens. Maybe you will settle down with a 10 or find true love with a 4.
Relationships are a lot more complicated than "leagues".

[dembones]

NOPE. LOL. When I like someone I try to talk at first like trying to assess them, just like friends and being a bit pushy. Depending how things go I keep pushing until y think I can start flirting. I don't really think about if they are in my league, I go for it lol.

[Aguysopinion4799]

I have yet to find anyone that is in my league, everyone seems to be in a higher league than me...

I might eventually find someone in the same league but who knows, right?

[WinterAurelia]

If I dated in my league of looks, nobody would be here. If I dated in terms if personality, I would find many amazing people so, no

[s2firestar]

If I followed that principle, I would be out of the league of almost every fucking person on earth over the virtue of my job.

I find this whole league idea a bullshit sentiment that people make up to feel better about themselves.

[Avicenna]

I don't think about a woman in those terms. It's just about whether she is interesting and whether I think we'd enjoy spending time with each other.

[hot70sguy61]

no.. I date all women... what I look for is chemistry... I believe a man should date many women... that way he will learn all the different types in the world and appreciate them...

[NYCstreetPhotog]

Leagues don't exist. Personal charm, intelegence, and confidence, are the only deciding factors.

[fionaglenanne]

agreed

[GingerGuy]

I have never believed in that. Everyone is equal. A human being!

[loki35]

Well if I haven't dated in over 10 years and I don't really see myself as high ranking, I guess yeah I seem to stay in my league.

[standardguy]

It is a mixture. If she is very pretty or very much younger I can compensate by my education and titles. But if she is young, beautiful and gas a great job I let her dating another person.

[BIGGESTD39]

I've dated weman that were way out my league but I had money then i made the choice to step away from that life a few years ago and now I just dot care
