Why don't some people believe in "leagues" when it comes to dating?

There have always been leagues whether you want to believe it or not. Anyone who disagrees is delusional and lives in a fantasy world. The only time a 1 has a chance with a 10 is if they have a lot of money, status, and power. Everyone should know where they fall and stick around there. No wonder people want to kill themselves or get depressed because they were rejected. That's what happenes when you go beyond your meager means. I know I don't have a chance with anyone who is a 10 so I don't bother. It's not like I have a big house, fancy car or anything like that to help me either.

True, i briefly dated a girl who was about a 9 while back in my 20's and her dad kept tellin her to date someone who had better earning potential than i did, she eventually agreed with him and that was the end of that..

@Tminus6453 Yep I know how that goes. I used to look better when I was younger and thinner. I too dated someone whose parents told them they could do better. I was in college at the time working at a grocery store. I think they thought I wasn't going to do anything with my life and just stay in retail. Wrong. Sad how that happens.

Oh my god, you guys are depressing me here...Believe in yourselves. @Tminus6453

@Keepitsimple That's just reality. If you aren't something or somebody worthy you never will measure up.

@Keepitsimple Its not about not believing in yourself, its when the other person has their list of priorities and i didnt meet all of them.. she could get any guy she wanted. $$$

@Keepitsimple Well the truth hurts

@Keepitsimple I agree love conquers all !!!these boundaries and labels y'all are giving each other is really sickening !!

Tminus6453 · M

@Keepitsimple But she agreed and i knew it was going to happen eventually cause she kept talkin about her "rich" ex boyfriends

Then there is the feeling of always being inferior to the other person. How did I manage to get this person? I look like shit. Why me? They can have anyone they want and they chose me? Is this a prank? A joke? Am I just a charity case?

@ChatterinSeuss When you're young and she's hot, she can get any guy she wants she's going to go for the money almost 100% of the time

@TheSacredOne I didnt feel inferior in the looks department though

@Tminus6453 That's just something coming from me as a mid 30s chubby guy. It was a bit different back then.
