Do you date out of your league?

I think what ppl consider "leagues" are actually cliques. Any person, regardless of their weight, is really only out of your league if they are attracted to a completely different person than you in all aspects (and yet this doesn't stop people either)... person meaning looks, characteristics, career, education, intelligence, style of humor, outlook on life, etc. Just because "she's pretty" or "he's hot" and they aren't interested in you doesn't mean you can't find her/his twin and be in the same "league". For a long time I would look at men and think, "those guys are out of my league... i could never catch his eye." And you know why? Because the first set were "hot guys" at a sports bar and fuck if I care about sports. And the second guy was usually the corporate/politcal "hot" guy and to be perfectly honest, I want a man who can wear a t-shirt and jeans, keeps a nice suit in his closet for special occasions, and every now and then lets me buy him way-too-trendy-for-his-taste pieces that I'm pretty sure will get him stolen away from me if he wears that stuff in public. So the sports guys aren't out of my league and the corporate guy isn't out of my league... even if I was thin, it would be the same story.

And if you see a girl/guy and to you they are smokin' hot, don't let weight hold you back. I've seen lots of skinny guys who couldn't get laid if their life depended on it and overweight guys AND girls who have sex partner/relationship lists longer than a marathon. It's about personal projection and ppl's preferences. In my very short dating history I've casually dated 2 army guys (one small, one not small), a 300 pound opera singer, a svelt 160 pound pole vaulter and the current/not-so-casual 140 pound engineer/tech nerd. It's just how the cards fall.

You know what, you've just now given me a tremendous amount of hope, hon. This post really made me think that perhaps I can catch the eye of a good looking guy.

Thank you so much. You've just made my night.
