To be clear, I don’t believe in leagues; I believe in compatibility. For all those people that do believe in leagues here is the simple formula:

 

Men: Looks + Money + Social Skills/3 = Women: Looks

 

So take a nine point scale and assume a bell curve with a standard deviation of one. Five is average; approximately 2/3 of the population are a 4,5,6 on any of these measures.

 

As an example, if a man is a 4 in looks, a 7 in money and a 4 in social skills he should be able to “get” a woman that is a 5.

 

All of these measures are somewhat tough to objectively quantify, but it’s worth a go.

How to assess your looks:

Look around – if you feel you’re in the top 1/6th of your particular population (i.e. age range you’re looking for and location), you’re a 7, 8 or 9. If you feel you are average – than a 4, 5, or 6. And if you feel you don’t quite cut it – below average.

 

Or assess the attention you get. For men, if you never get flirted with, assume you’re below average. If you get flirted with by women you don’t find attractive, but not those you do find attractive – assume you’re average. If you get flirted with by all the women, including attractive women – assume you’re above average. For women, think of how much you get cold approached, not including at bars (and take into account how much you’re actually out and about). If it’s at least once every couple of weeks, you’re above average. If it’s once every few months to a year; you’re average. If it’s pretty much never, you’re below average.

 

Keep in mind, nobody likes to think of themselves as below average, but statistically they have to exist.

 

How to assess money:

 

This one is the easiest. Find out the mean income for your age range and location. Average = a five.

 

Nowadays most women could care less about the actual amount of money that a guy makes (although some might care a great deal), but attaining a certain level of success speaks to other traits (drive, ambition, passion, work ethic etc.) that they do find attractive.

 

How to assess social skills:

 

This one is probably toughest. Essentially if you have full, rich interpersonal relationships, make and keep friends easily, are close with your family, and enjoy socializing, you would be a 9. If you’re a complete loner, isolated from your family and would prefer not to interact in real life socially and does not have any real friends, then you would be a 1. Again, most people are average.

 

So do the math – determine your league.

 

For the record, I’m a five and have absolutely no problem dating…not that I believe in leagues…

A man with a "7" in money would be able to get a woman that is a 7. Get your bromath out of here!

Clearly not true - read some of the posts here! A "7" in money is slightly above average - probably about 60K in most places...

Will this help you get a date?

 

Too much analysis, not enough action.

(1 + 10 + 1)/3 = 4. From my experience, that's a bit high.
