And the walrus is Samuel Beckett.

To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. ... Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.

The King is dead. (No, not Elvis.) Long live the King!

No. But you may need drugs to get it back.

I used drugs to find it the first few times and was hoping those days were gone. Maybe it's a youth thing?

Being dead isn't what it used to be.

Maybe you need a change of scenery. How about moving to somewhere you don't hate?

 

Maybe MH/TG has an extra room. You two seem to get along.

I guess that it depends on what you mean by "league".

 

What do you mean by league?

 

No, it depends on what YOU think league means. It's those who you feel you have and don't have a chance with. It could be anything.

I don't think anyone is out of my league. And I'm really not attracted to guys who other girls might find attractive. My friend all say I have a weird taste. They don't really find my current boyfriend attractive. A lot of people have asked me why I am together With him. Now I think that's shallow. I find him very attractive. He has such a strong personallity and so much energy surrounding him; it appeals me. I really think it all depends on the chemistry between the two people; for me there are no leagues.

Leagues are determined from the top down. I`ve been trying like hell to get a date with Jennifer Anniston since she broke up with Brad. But somehow I feel she does not consider me in her league.

The only type that I feel would be out of my dating capabilities would be gold diggers. I am not exactly what you call rich, so I don't see them being interested in me, but I can live with that. Other than that, I believe that I have just as a good of chance to date any type.

Thats because she is saving herself for me.;)

Before my current partner, I'd pretty well date anyone who asked. What does that mean with regards to 'leagues'? (Apart from I was obviously desperate)

Yeah that is shallow. Just because they don't find him attractive doesn't mean that you shouldn't be dating him.

 

At least you don't have to worry about them hitting on him. That's good. I hate that when that happends. Your with someone who everyone else thinks is good looking and sure enough the followers come and annoy the hell out of you.

re:

 

VinaAmez: " Do you date or consider dating people "out of your league" or "in your league?"

 

I guess it depends on the real definition of what you are trying to convey with your question.

 

If you're only dealing with the superficial stuff (looks, taste, interests) -you could bump into some conflict (it seems to me) when more personalized information about the prospective partner starts being revealed that just don't jive with your expectations of an ideal romantic partner.

 

If you're talking about differences in social status, financial wealth and the addition of the prospective partner having an affluent lifestyle -I think the "workability" of that depends on how fluent your understanding and sophistication quotient already is -or can increase and adapt.

 

If you're talking about a person who has a fragile self-esteem and poor self-image and wondering how well they'll fare paired with someone with a phenomenal personality, and all the lifestyle trimmings -I think the chances are pretty slim that they'll last as a couple.

 

If you're talking about an individual who has a strong and postive self-image, and very high self-esteem, and who has above-average intelligence, and possesses ambition, drive and has accomplished an acceptable amount of education -even though they hail from a slightly or much differently influenced background (less money, less grand lifestyle, less social affluence, etc.)- I think there's enough equalizing material there to have a good shot at becoming a *great* couple -providing, of course, that the prospective partner has not been too spoiled by all his good fortune.

You have got to be, hands down, thee most "positive" person I've ever known. Hands down.

 

You are what you think. If you think about yourself negatively all the time, that is how you will behave and believe yourself to be. And that is how other people will perceive you as well.

 

It's definitely a page out of CBT. If you think positive thoughts, if you behave in a positive manner, you will not only experience positive things but create a vibe that makes people want to be around you.

 

I can't think of any negative people that I had a good time hanging out with. I can think of an example of a guy I was in a band with once that was such a downer he brought everyone down with him. He was always negative, always miserable, etc. It was like a black cloud hung over the guys head his entire life.

 

It's not that he was a bad person, he was not. He was actually a good guy. He just had such a negative attitude about everything that it was depressing to be near him.

 

People naturally graviate towards others who are positive and happy. I know I do. Now I don't go through life thinking "If I act this way, others will like me". I do it simply because *I* want to be happy. And I can't depend on anyone to make me happy, I have to do it myself.

 

You're outta my league, CaliGuy. :laugh:

 

No you are not! LOL.

 

What I do find hilarious is how my comments that "No one is out of your league" had been spin-doctored into me somehow being better than everyone else.

 

It's not what I said and it's not what I think at all.

CaliGuy, it is difficult a difficult line to toe and many see confidence as arrogance. I am guilty of that myself. Maybe it depends on my mindset at the time. If I am feeling negatively, I may see arrogance (negative connotation to that feeling) and when I'm feeling positively I see confidence.

 

Not to threadjack, but I referred someone struggling with confidence/esteem issues to you for some assistance and guidance this morning on another thread. Hope you don't mind, I really think you can help and you immediately popped into my head when he said he needed some pointers on how to find it/get it back.:D

Yes I would agree with you except for people graviate towards positive and happy people. I see it as the opposite. At least for me. I had more friends when I gossiped and shared my personal information. Lots of unhappy people I see.

 

I try to be positive all the time when I'm around people. And for a lot of people they can't stand it. It's just iritates them when I don't gossip or talk about my personal problems. I come off as someone who has none so people get jealous. There is more to live then being in the crapper. Doesn't do any good. I'd rather be happy then worrying everyday about problems. Some of my problems are always going to be there. No point in dwelling on it.

 

Plus I find I like being positive. It makes life so much more enjoyable.

oh look! The American daytime folks have brought this thread back on-topic.

 

Unclear to me what my league would be. I just know who I find attractive and am pretty good at sensing when someone is attracted to me. This show of mutual attraction has unfortunately not happened in some time now. Probably because everyone I've been meeting are not in my league. (Wheter up or down i don't know - I just don't have the same interests as most).

 

Oh and the Alchemyst! WHAT? Come on! I think I was like you in my early twenties only to keep finding out now that I'm 30 (and oh so wise) that many guys I thought were cute actually thought the same of me but simply never had the guts to approah me because I was intimidating somehow. Must have been my aloofness and the dressing all in black thing. Oh and the not being afraid to sit alone in the cafeteria reading Camus thing. Always threw them off. Throw the guy a bone - be more approachable!
