While explaining my weekend to a friend of mine, I mentioned that I had met a boy who was basically awesome in every way, but seemed “a little too attractive for me”.
“What?!” she yelled. “What are you saying?! Don’t say that! Nobody’s too attractive for you! You’ve got a complex, I swear…”
After getting her to calm down, I brought it up to another friend of mine. “He was totally amazing” I told her, “but I just think…you know how you can be talking to someone, and the whole while you’re thinking, ‘this guy is just too cute’?”
“Oh, totally” my friend chimed in, her eyes going large with recognition. “I totally know what it’s like to talk to someone who you think is too good-looking.”
So, there it was; two different people with two completely different opinions when it came to who’s in our league or out of it.
It’s pretty common knowledge that women aren’t all about looks when it comes to picking a partner. While I don’t think any of us would say no to an amazing body or smile, a lot of us look for humor, drive, and personality before perfect features. Men, on the other hand, have been known to be all about the hotness (at least initially).
With this in mind, it seems quite possible that there are more men “out of her league” than women out of his. If a guy isn’t dripping with adorableness, but has an amazing personality, he has a better chance with most hot women than an average girl with an awesome mind has with most hot guys.
What do you think? Can anyone ever be out of anyone’s “league”? Is it easier for guys to compensate for less than movie star looks? And if so, doesn’t that sort of suck for us?
Have you ever felt like you’re not “hot enough”?

You can totally date out of your league- you might not be able to keep him, but atleast you will get a good shagging or two out of it.
Most women have ego issues when the guy they wake up next to is better looking than they are. Insecurity as well. I know of many white collar women with younger hotties and some broadcast thier trophy girl toys. Women have caught up to the male image game. MILF is the rage with college guys and even women professors with tenor give thier male students ” extra curricular ” assignments. You only live once and why not fulfill fantasies. Beware of the emotional trap with hotties. Remember, other women are on the prowl as well. Doctors, lawyers,and policemen are the biggest reciepients of promiscuous laisons. SSGT M.

Well, I don’t know about this one. I think my boyfriend is completely and utterly too hot to be with me, but I’m not about to leave him just because I don’t feel adequate in the looks department. Personally I think everything should be personality based even if they are the hottest guy on the planet, if you can emotionally bond, who cares if he’s light years beyond you physically.
I think that men are often exempt from worrying about their appearance. Women in today’s society have to worry much more then men about the way they look and whether or not men will be attracted to their physical appearance. This trend is only adding to self esteem problems already rampant among young women. If you ask me it should be about personality and compatibility, first and foremost.
I was (i.e. still am) in love with a guy for two years and he was just SO good-looking. We’re good friends so nothing, ever, EVER came of it but he had a lot of other young ladies lusting after him. I tried to shake my crush but… gah. Long story short: he was (and still is) too hot for moi.
It annoys me to no end that you ONLY see hot guys with hot girls BUT you regularly see hot girls with “average” (or lower) guys. And it’s not even about money, most of the time. GAH!!!
