Should I take my "5" girlfriend to "She's Out Of My League"?

I think I’m about a 5… apparently I’m good looking but I have personality problems (mental illness, etc). I think my girlfriend is about a 5 or 6 too… (ok looking but very responsible and good personality, very good in bed, etc)
On IMDb girls give the movie a pretty good review.
I might see “Kick Ass” instead… the girl’s reviews aren’t as good.
So for people who have seen the “She’s Out Of My League” movie, is the message that it is ok for people to date within their league? Or does it say that people would rather date 10’s? On the official website it says something about 10’s having to put in the effort of being perfect.

I vote no. Wouldn’t want your 5 thinking she’s a 10, would you? :rolleyes:

Hmm. I can’t say that I’ve heard of this movie, but I’m really not one that believes in leagues. People are attracted (or not attracted) to one another for reasons big and small. To believe someone is in or out of your league smacks of the idea that some people are just better than others.

I guess my answer is: take her to any movie you both want to see.

AClockworkMelon:
I don’t mind if she thinks she’s a 10. BTW she has a (fairly harmless) stalker who would think she’s a 10.

It’s a romantic comedy, it should be fine. I’ve seen a few exerpts and it looks funny.

Does she know that you consider her a “5” who’s “good in bed”? Perhaps you should tell her . . . then you won’t have to worry about which movie to take her to.

Are you the same guy who posted the thread about whether or not you should go on that Beauty and the Geek show because you were worried about what your “5” girlfriend would think? And if so…why is she still with you?

But then she’ll be looking for other 10s. :rolleyes:

Of course, the real answer is that she should take you to see a movie.

Dude, why are you so stuck on meaningless numerical rankings of people’s physical attributes? She needs someone who values her more, but doesn’t feel the need to put a number on it.

I tend to think that the whole world is just a big rat race. Everyone just wants a bigger slice of the pie. People want a hotter girlfriend or boyfriend. They want more money and more status. They want more pleasure. Sometimes, people are right in asking for more (like MLK was right in asking for equal rights), but even then, people still just want more shit. Even raging feminists want more money, status, and studmuffin.

And yet, despite my ultra-cynical view of human affairs, I still find the OP’s approach to this idea unnerving. I don’t know what to say. Even I, Joey the ultra-cynic, object to these numerical rankings.

Yeah honey! Dump that zero and get yourself a he-ro!

Because she is a 5 and he is a 5. You think 5 level putang is gonna do any better than that?

Yeah that was him. Here’s his “Beauty and the Geek” thread. He eventually broke up with his girlfriend in it, then got pissed at all the posters who told him he to break up with her because he didn’t seem to respect her.

Then here’s his thread from the first of this year about getting back together with her even though he doesn’t thinks she’s that pretty and anyway he was thinking about getting a Thai bride.

JohnClay - I don’t know about going to the movies with this girl. What does your therapist say about it?

Bonus question: What does your therapist say about your constantly referring to your girlfriend in this rude and meaningless way?

I wonder if his “therapist” knows that JohnClay enjoys making inflammatory stuff up about an imaginary girlfriend to get a rise out of strangers on the internet…

Sorry for being blunt, but aren’t you acting on troll paranoia? People often have a hard time believing that people who make silly statements on the internet really mean it. I never do. There’s nothing hard to believe about JohnClay.

Yes. Let’s keep up this crap where we make fun of the guy who has a mental disorder. And let’s keep up this stuff that offends you is somehow a troll because they don’t think the same way you do. Let’s shout our ignorance and bigotry to the rooftops.

If anything, I find JohnClay refreshingly honest about this crap. Most people inflate numbers both by what they think they can get, and just to be polite. Somebody who is a 5 would be, guess what, AVERAGE. And if all you people who have average (or less) looking significant others, the Dope would be mostly singlesville.

I want to avoid the subject but if we see the film the discussion might come up and she might want my honest score of her rather than me sidestepping the question.

She’s real… BTW on another messageboard I have a blog about our relationship… though I probably shouldn’t mention the site.

So… you guys are back together then?
