Do dating 'leagues' exist?

Aongus Von Bismarck

Of course they exist. For example, I wouldn't have even considered dating the vast majority of the girls I went to secondary school with. Dating Josephine, a camogie player with huge thighs, wouldn't have even entered my mind. She wants a house just outside Ballygobackwards, a couple of freckle-faced children, and a solid job working in Galway in a medical device factory. My idea of hell. I'd also be far too good looking for her. Harsh, but true.

Maybe he does but he also bad mouths/slags them with obscene comments about their smell etc once they’ve left the shop. I’ve witnessed this.

He takes the p1ss out of everyone to be honest.

Go away outta that you. You're from the "bog" , your options were limited to a knee trembler round the back of the community centre with a young one smelling of cow ****e while keeping one eye out for the lical priest and then if you got lucky a quick grope off young one attending a "Gaelteacht".

Thread is polluted with conceited Walter Mitty types without a trace of humility, boasting about deeply unattractive traits. Dating leagues do not exist in the real world, only in the mind's eye of those at odds with it.

In my view they definitely exist. I was well out of my husband’s league when we met: I was incredibly beautiful back then and in amazing shape and he has always been a bit shlubby. He thought all his Christmasses had come at once when I asked him out.

I’m not the head turner I used to be (or I’m not perceived to be, that’s a topic for another day :rolleyes:) but I still look pretty good, and he’s not getting any better. So I’m still well out of my husband’s league and that’s despite the patriarchal consensus that women look worse as they get older (:rolleyes:) and men only get better. Not true!

But what else did you bring to the table? What were your earnings? What were his?
How come you couldn't land someone in your own league?

I don't like where your conversation is going.

Wealth is not something someone brings to the table.

It doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't count for anything.

Unless you are that way...

Money doesn't make a man any better than he is alone himself ...AND he KNOWS it doesnt ..unless he is a snob! And a fool

Same for women.

She reckons she's out of her husband's league..... And she reckons leagues exist. So what's the harm in asking why she didn't land someone in her league?

She's only mentioned looks.... Nothing else. I asked what else did she bring to the table. Earnings were a separate question.

If you go around claiming you are out if your partners league based on looks alone expect a few questions IMO.

I rarely do more than skim over threads on this site, but the levels of delusion on display on this one really are incredible. There are hierarchies/levels in dating, as there are in most things in life. The 'Nice Guys' might like to think otherwise, but there are loads of women who will always be out of their reach.

I'm never going to date anyone who isn't educated to at least Masters level; I'm never going to date anyone who makes significantly less money than me; I'm never going to date someone with a neck tattoo or a nose piercing; I'm never going to date someone who thinks wearing a tracksuit is an acceptable fashion choice.

And there are lots of women who aren't going to date dweebish, unambitious, and deeply ordinary men - no matter how nice these lads think they are.

My family is independently wealthy so I wasn’t after his money if that’s what you’re insinuating.

I was attracted to him because 1. we’re in a similar social strata 2. it was time for me to settle down after my hedonistic 20s.

I have a type A personality so obviously I hate to marry someone I could dominate. I make no apologies about that, that’s just my type.

Anghus you would be surprised what goes on in the real world

By all means have your clipboard ready to duly tick the boxes until all your criteria are met.

But, in reality, all you need is someone you find beguiling, who piques your interest and leaves you satisfied after you've knocked boots.

That’s it. He flirts with every woman he meets in the shop. I’ve seen him flirting with women in their 80s for god sake. “How are you?” “All the better for seeing you gorgeous”

Ah I wouldn't consider that flirting to be honest. Im a lad who worked on tills and deli and we'd always chat up the regulars. It was amusing for staff and customers, just trying to make the day go quicker

Do people with 'types' and 'checklists' ever wonder why they are single?

Prince Philip legitimised the Windsor line. His mother was born in Windsor castle and was the great granddaughter of Victoria.
