    I've posted threads about a girl in my club, basically, about 2 and a half months ago we got together and she dumped me tonight.

    She dumped me because we both live in different parts of Dublin, so time seeing each-other other than at training was fairly limited, not totally limited though. Mostly my fault due to time constraints on me.

    Also she was well out of my league, I mean properly, I'm fairly tall, but very thin so I look lanky and awkward, and am very shy, and she's gorgeous, there's no doubt about that, and she's a total legend, one of the soundest people I know.

    So pretty much I'm just really, really pissed off at myself, it just doesn't feel right. :mad:

    Just wanted to get that off my chest, cheers if you read it, and no, you can't have the few seconds of your life back that reading took off you

    Well out of your league? Bullsh*t. If that was the case you wouldn't have been with her for over 2 months. I know you probably feel very low but don't start beating up on yourself.

    I hate all this putting women on pedestals crap. If she seems out of your league, you take her down a peg or two with a few neghits.

    You'll get over it and you should aim for someone just as gorgeous...but with better taste.;)

    You're better off learning this while you're younger : No-one is out of your league. They may be a great person and everything you want but the idea of 'leagues' is bullshít.

    ***Edit: Damn you Mr. Nice Guy, you got in ahead of me ;)

    I know what you and Mr. Nice Guy mean, but she really was a stunner, and even my friends were saying it. There' not much I can really do about it though. Dammit!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,942 ✭✭✭MojoMaker


    What does being a stunner have to do with her personality, her aspirations, her background, her prospects, her desires, her sense of humour etc?

    Sorry to hear that Squirrel. Chalk up the experience.

    An aquaintance of an aquaintance used to say that you should always go up to the most beautiful woman in a party or in a bar because all the other guys wouldn't have the gall to. Not sure if that helps even in the slightest, chin up anyhoo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Laguna


    Yeah I agree, this "out of my league" **** is really tiresome, you never hear women saying any man, good looking or not, is out of her league. Good looking women are indeed placed on a pedestal and are deemed excellent just because of their looks regardless of their personality or lack thereof.

    I've found the good looking girls I've known in my life are no different from the good looking guys, you meet the odd nice & intelligent one, but the majority of good looking people have ****/nasty personalities as they've never had to make an effort with anyone as people want to associate with them because of their looks, them being a bastard or not doesn't matter.

    Here's to personality!

    *chimes in on out of league malarky*

    Sorry to hear about the break up Squirrel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Meh, no big deal mate, you'll get over her in time and find someone new.

    Just on the confidence thing though...If you don't think you're good enough for a girl, you'll find that your not. If you raise the bar, and expect sucsess with a high calaber girl, than you'll be suprised what that confidence will do for you.

    Forget looks, because girls go for all types, and I've seen plenty, and i know you have, freaks walking down town with an absolute minter on his arm!! He gets the beauty because he believes he can...and girls go for confidence.

    Also, ask yourself, what type of guy gets these girls, what are the personality traits of a guy who can get any girl he wants? Funny, positive, energetic, encouraging, confident, secure in himself, flattering, charming, respectful, loyal etc. etc. etc. and just develop those sides of your personality. Life's a process, keep developing yourself, and every bit of sucsess you get in each area build on it and congradulate yourself and believe in yourself.

    Whoa...way to early in the day for getting that deep...meh, what are you gonna do?

    Good luck mate :p

    brilliant!!! you must have women eating out of your hands!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭bp


    and yeah....women never say a guy is out of their league....you should see the guy i'm going out with!!!! :D

    dont be too hard on yourself, you will find someone else who lives closer by....if you put a woman on a pedestal she will think she belongs there and get demanding!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    that list belongs in the humour forum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭ven0m


    That sucks man - but no woman, NO WOMAN is out of ANY mans league...

    As for her - she obviously had her reasons - but I do think she was kinda "lazy" to dump you cos of that..

    I been seein my girl for a long time now & she's 350 miles away from me & we're getting engaged, & I'm moving to live near her very soon - so we can start a life with each other....

    All woman are NOT like her man, just wasn;t meant to be & sometimes that happens. Don;t spend time dwlling on the why or what-ifs, when **** works with two people it will rock... hang in there man!!!

    Dont worry about it.
    Seriously life is about being able to cope with your dissapointment and anger at yourself which you feel now as a result of the rejection period.

    I think you should forget about it and learn to become more tolerant to this type of scenario. LEARN!

    I think humans are just like animals its all about getting the proper mate etc.
    If we are lucky, we wont have to receive this rejection and we'll just die or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 607 ✭✭✭DAEDULUS


    women dont say that,but they know it..an ugly chick knows brad pitt wouldnt go out with them :p why do you think in groups of girls+guys the ugliest girls usually fancy the less attractive guys of the group,because she knows if she let it out to her friends that she wants to score the hot guy, if he found out he'd probably laugh in her face ,so that comparison is silly

    I slept in said mates house last night and had only returned home when I wrote that, so tired I couldn't think too well, and I only realised later what I had wrote, and how I didn't want anyone to comment on it. So to answer your question, no I'm not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭Squirrel


    All things were going grand, I had kept myself busy, keeping my mind off her, when I saw her in town today, walking along with some guy, not holding hands or anything, but walking very, very close together.

    I know this could've been some friend but it still really hurt when I saw them :(

    Ok c'mon, ye's are all jumping on the bandwagon a bit with this stuff, you know it's not true. To an extent a less attractive guy can get with a stunner, but keep it real.

    Hey OP, this is probably the wrong place to look for advise and sympathy cos lots of chancers out there. Most of us have been there dude and theres no easy way to get over it. Its true what some posters have said, no one is out of anyones league. My missus is a stunner but i didnt win her heart with me good looks unfortunately!!!

    The problem with most blokes when we go out with aot ladies is we become more concious of our actions. They get bored then. (Sorry lady readers for generalising!!)

    My advise, keep at it, the more experience you have dating different women the more you will be able to identify what u go for in a woman!

    My final point for helping get over her is this. Get in contact with a friend you havent seen in years - it will help take your mind off things. :-)

    Best of luck dude!

    squirrel, dude......
    listen u feel really **** but imagine you guys had gone out longer and you cared about her even more and then you guys broke up. you should be happy with what you had and not worry about her antics at the moment!!!!
    as far as the whole out of your league thing, thats rediculous, really and truly, we are all lovely, looks is nothing to do with it, she didnt break up with u cos of that,if so why would she have stuck with you!!!!! chin up my furry friend!
