Are you punching above your weight?

I see this mentioned a lot about/to guys about their girlfriends and it's something I've experienced myself in relationships. I always thought it was quite rude. Imagine saying the same to a woman and implying that her fella is way hotter than her? There'd be blue murder!

What I've observed that it's not actually factual or true in most cases either. John Krasinski mentioned it recently about being married to Emily Blunt. She is undeniably gorgeous. But he is also a big ride. He is nowhere near 'average' and I'd say 99.99% of women would be staring him out of it in most rooms he'd walk into. Similarly, Laura Whitmore and her Scottish comedian fella. He's a bit of a ride too. And also far more charismatic and full of personality than her.

I've so many real-life examples with couples I know too, where she's pretty in a girl-next-door kinda way and he's quite attractive too, yet he gets the "way out of your league" comments. It's weird.

Anyone else got experiences with this? Are you told it about your OH? Does someone tell you your fella is "dating up"?

Not exactly high fashion is it? Still impressive nonetheless!

She was towards the end of her career (not even 30, fickle business!). She had done all those top fashion weeks all over the world up to then.

So you're saying she was past it then?

I used to have a girlfriend, but I guess she couldn't compete with all the love-starved women who keep clamouring at my feet.

Were they trying to wash your feet?....that apparently happened to a lad called Jesus...

As long as you can still take the time to be together and make memories.
AH is usually the place for a witty answer
But.
I lost my 1st wife 11yrs ago next week.
I spent a long long time angry at the world for taking her from me, for robbing me of our future....
It took me a long time to appreciate how lucky I was to have had 11yrs with a wonderful woman in the 1st place.
I hope that you both can build a treasury of memories together.
A treasury that will help more than you know on the dark days still to come.
Both for you, and for him.

Well thank you.

But honestly, I was going for gallows humour there. Yes, we're in a shitty situation but we try to laugh at it a bit.

The ultimate one for me was I was on POF year's ago.
A female movie star was renting a cottage between West Cork and Donegal....
She was a bit older than me, we were having fun and frolics for maybe 6 months.

I never broke her anonmity...and never will.

It was nice.

Sarah Jessica Parker is nothing to brag about. She looks like she's made out of elbows ffs.

My bf always gets told I’m out of his league. But then when they realise what a raging cnut I am and how lovely he is they all take it back.

In my first marriage I was a welter/middleweight and the wife was lightweight. This time around I'm a heavyweight and the wife is a light heavy, so no both times. :pac:

Lol it wasn't her.....

I've never had it said with anybody I've gone out with, which is a bit of an insult to them because I am truly hideous.

facehugger99

Wow, you're really punching above your weight there - she's massive.

Not sure if I'm doing it right.

I'd never punch her. She punches back.

Hardly need to be a looker, my ex was a very hot Venezuelan girl. She got hit on all the time.

Looks have nothing to do with seduction.

The key to influencing people and all seduction is incredibly simple.
Capture and lead the imagination. If you can do this you can make folk do pretty much anything.

Generally speaking the better looking the woman the less likely she is to ever have met a self assured confident man. Most will slobber over her before she says no.

Ross Jeffries, Godfather of the seduction PUA/Game community. Hardly a looker. Yet men pay him tens of thousands to learn Speed Seduction. Aka Neuro Linguistic Programming.

I have the most awesome woman in the world who I am absolutely not worthy of.
I don't know what I have done to deserve such a fantastic person, she is just the best.
She completes my life and me as a person. And she feels the same about me.
We're not Brad and Angelina and we couldn't give a sh*te.
Would I rather have a woman that is rated to be 10/10 lookswise? Would she rather be with Channing Tatum?
Not in a million years. My now-wife, before we met (long story, 30 years long and longer in fact), told me she is not some painted up dolly-bird.
And it's true, she's a jeans and tshirt woman and if she wears makeup it's for a special occasion. And I love it.
Going out with someone for their looks, well, it's a clichee, but book and cover is a clichee for a reason.
I need to be with someone who understands my crazyness and my nerdiness and I couldn't live with someone who just embodies perfection, it would drive me nuts. To quote Deadpool, her crazy matches my crazy perfectly.
Yes I would crawl over any amount of naked women for her.

She's standing behind you right now, isn't she?

Speed seduction is based on NLP with RJs insights along with plenty of other things.... but NLP is so much more than Speed Seduction (NLP not being created for dating).

But yes, RJ is a fairly ugly guy (horrible dress sense) but I've seen him pick up absolute stunners.

OP, I'm usually told that my girlfriends or dates are far better than I deserve. And they're right.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
