How often where you telling her that she is uglier than every other woman you have had sex with?
Truth.
I’ve only heard the term “Unicorn” used in the sex/dating world referring to a girl/woman who is willing/down to have sex with both another girl and her male S.O. But you must be using the term in a more generic sense?
As far as to whether or not it’s “taboo” to date “out of one’s league”, hell no! Shit, if anything, its fucking impressive and awesome if you are in possession of traits capable of overriding the superficial screen of today’s dating world. Using a wheelchair as i do, im sure many people are of the opinion that i am dating “outside my league” because my gf is a beautiful woman. i fall into stereotypes such as not being able to really satisfy her and if she was with a “real man”, she’d get the satisfying that she really wants. But im not outside of HER league, as in what SHE considers her “league” and she’s not outside of my “league”. We are each others "10"s and that’s all that really matters.
My very good looking eldest brother, who is genius smart and a very good musician married the absolute dumbest, fat, not real pretty woman. Her looks are unfortunate. But she is really, really nice. They seem to be very happy in their family life. Their kids are well behaved and smart. So, you just can’t tell who will click. I say don’t worry about leagues and numbers. Worry about being pleasant and well groomed.
She’s a priest? Of what?
I don’t see it that way. The reality is that some people are more attractive than others. It’s not just an issue of physical beauty; there’s also factors like personality, intelligence, and success.
I’m an average schlub. If I asked Jennifer Lawrence out on a date, she would say no. It’s not because of some taboo; it’s because she can do better than dating somebody like me.
Wouldn’t ‘she’ be a priestess?
I read it in the more generic sense of “perfect creature, and quite likely mythical.” (And, yes, I was previously familiar with the more specific definition around dating.)
See, that right there is what I’m talking about.
Her fiance might not like that either.
…uh, what exactly? ** Little Nemo**'s statement was spot on, Jennifer Lawrence would probably reject every and any male Doper poster, and for good reason - she has better options (even if she were single and didn’t have a fiance right now). If you don’t agree with the term “out of league,” then what term should be used instead? The concept is real, true, and exists.
I have no idea who the fuck you’ve confused Inigo with, but you certainly have.
One night, back in 1987, I was in a gay movie house. In one dimly-lit room upstairs, a group of men was surrounding a very tall man who immediately caught my attention. He was gorgeous. Being realistic, knowing that I had average looks even on a good day, I stood back and watched, rather than joining the others. I soon noticed that the tall, gorgeous man was looking intently in my direction. I held his gaze, and he broke from the group and approached me. Yes, HE approached ME!
One thing led to another, and this year we’ll have been together for 32 years. He’s my husband now.
Most posters are taking “out of your league” to be synonymous with “in a higher league”. I think there’s a bit of bias related to that perspective, but it’s based either on jealousy or a desire to put the person being talked about down. For the contrary situation though, someone dating someone “in a lower league”, I think many people regard that as a social taboo. The phrase that come to mind is: “You could do so much better.”
Upping the challenge to all the would-be parodists, are we?
100% this.
‘Leagues, tiers, etc’ are petty, immature classifications that should not matter after leaving middle school.
Mature adults have no need to entertain such nonsense, in my opinion.
It could be, but if society in general see you as a 5, it’s likely that the woman of your dreams will see you as a 5 too, like most people.
People are advised to try to date within their league because it’s more realistic, not because it’s utterly impossible to find someone for whom you would be the perfect match despite her being considered much more “valuable” than you by society at large. Especially since this advice is often given to people who are not only unrealistically picky but also are quite inept when it comes to dating (hence very unlikely to seduce someone “not in their league”).
It might be that there’s somewhere a 20 something supermodel with an IQ of 135, an incredible personality and who shares all my secret sexual fantasies who would enthusiastically date me along with her twin sister. I still probably shouldn’t exclude all other options until she shows up in my life. Some people do pretty much that.
Then again, some people might not be ever happy with a partner who doesn’t fit their requirements, regardless how unrealistic. One of my friends (ex, in fact) despite not being extraordinarily demanding about many aspects, has very very specific expectations about a couple things. She had been involved with many men, but none of these relationships lasted long. She just can’t settle for anything less, so she’ll have to wait for her own kind of unicorn who could very well never materialize. Pretty much, she’s waiting for what you describe : someone who might be considered a 5 by society at large, but will a 10 in her view for having those specific qualities.
Uh… yeah. Didn’t know about that meaning of the word.
I was using it as a term meaning something so unique and rare as to be nearly mythical. Which on consideration, sounds like it could have been the genesis of your usage of the word as well.
Having a genuine sense of humor adds +5 to all your stats.
