Now, this is a double edged sword.

A guy thinks a woman is " out of his league " and won't approach her.

The problem is that there are many, MANY men out there who think that.

As a result, the beautiful, " out of your league " woman rarely actually gets approached.

If she does get approached, it's normally by guys who are looking to have nothing more with them than a quick roll in the hay and a notch on a bedpost.

darkowl1...everyone that crosses our path teaches us something. I hope we have done that for each other today. You are welcome and thank you also.

I would never date anyone from the American League

You elitist you.

LOL

I don't believe that anyone is out of my league. Money, education, prestige do not make you a better person they just make you privleged. And while none of these things should stop you from loving whom ever they often cause problems in the long run much as having different moral values does. While it is always nice to share new things it is hard to go the distance without things in common.

i've seen this too many times to count......sad.....

i also am one that won't generally give them the time of day, for all the tests i have to go through, just to get to know them, for they've been through the ringer, and are extremely causious by the time i'm talking to them.....the energy is to much expenditure to do for my timeline anymore, so i didn't persue it back then. i persue nothing now...just happy where i am at.

most definitely! it can't be avoided unless you avoid life....stagnation is the only killer of knowledge and friends, where transition is the most enlightening, and can be by far, the most painful, especially when it goes for a year or more. many, many people here on this site are going through lifechanging transitions....some are getting through now, and just finnishing up, and it seems like some are beginning them, and hanging on to the long road ahead.....i hope we all are better for them and not bitter.....

Hmm, very interesting question. I am sure most will not like my response but, judgment is a human condition, and as such, no one is immune to it. I know a lot of people will say "Who me? I would never!" I say ********! I an very honest with myself, and on occasion, I do share that with others...lol

I am very well educated and, honestly, I know I would never be able to have a lasting relationship with someone who is not. Mind you, education comes in many forms, not just formal. If a man were not "educated" , I would not be able to be intellectually stimulated, which is something that matter greatly to me. So yes, some are 'outside of my league'.

With that said, I mean no offense to anyone. jmo

So far, everyone is outside my league.

That could be taken two ways...is it because you feel you are better than others...or do you feel you are less desireable than others?

No, not better or worse. It's not a quality issue. Just different.

IMO there are leagues. Leagues don't necessary mean that one person is better than another person. But some people are more desirable than others. A tall athletic doctor would probably get more dates than a short fat janitor.

Or a relatively average, slightly chubby, bald forklift driver??

nah. i see everyone as an individual so you never know what that particular person prefers. i'd say you have a shot with everyone. you neever know until you try.

And I completely agree with that. Show confidence, even if you're not feeling it. The experience of acting confident builds confidence.
