Current Events > Do you think it's wrong for men to settle for women in their own league?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll give you two examples using real life people that I know.

Steve: He's a good friend of mine, but his standards are way too high. He has very little charisma, not very attractive, not in the career or life path that he wants, and way too old for the age range he's going for. But like I mentioned before, he has ridiculously high standards. He goes for 9/10 women, and you can imagine, he hasn't had a girlfriend in nearly 10 years, and he is frustrated about it.

Joe: Not really great friends with him, but I knew him in high school and I have nothing against him. He has a lot of the same "qualities" as Steve, no charisma, no looks, no life. But unlike Steve, he knows his place. He would certainly like to have a 9/10 woman, but he knows that's not realistic. He got married a few years back to someone within his league. Is he happy? I have no idea because I don't talk to him, but for the sake of this topic, let's say he's happy, but wishes he could date someone who's more attractive.

In my opinion, I think people should know what league they're in, and find women in that category. Because otherwise you might end up like Steve, where you're trying to chase something that won't happen. Something is better than nothing, in my opinion.

What do you think?
