Are you a 2 or a 10?

So Ladies, how do we date out of our league? And what does that mean, exactly? Let's use the old rating system of 1-10. Ugly people hate the rating system; it has destroyed many relationships. I've had many guy friends and, too often, am in on their conversations. On numerous occasions I have heard one guy tell his friend, who recently started dating someone new, "No man, you can't date her, she's a 5 and you're at least a 7. You have to date in your league, man."

So how do you know what your number is and if you are dating in your league? You should have a pretty good idea what your number is based on years of social encounters. Here are some things to consider when coming up with your number:

• What crowd did you run with in High School? This doesn't mean that if you were popular, you are prettier (many of the freaks were hotties), but being able to be approachable and social definitely bumps you a number.
• How many people have you dated in the past 5 years? If you are married, what would you rate your spouse (females can add one, males can subtract one for themselves).
• What do you do at parties? Are you the life of the party? Do you find one or two people to chat up the entire night? Do you sit on the couch waiting for people to talk to you? If you are social, you can add a point to your number.
• What is your body fat % - yes, I know, this sucks...but if you are fat, "big boned", or bloated, you are not above a 5. I don't care about plus sized models!! You will not score above a 5 unless your body fat % is 23% or lower...harsh, but true.

If you want to date out of your league, you need to be social, approachable, and physically fit. If you have a "butter-face", you can still date a hottie if your body is in shape. Hit the gym ladies and read a book on networking!
