Who do you think is more delusional about who’s “in their league”? Men or women?

I could go either way on this. Hard to say.

If you have something significant going for you, be it beauty, intelligence, charm, charisma, or sense of humor, you may get lucky trying to date people who seem out of your league. I've dated women who looked like super models and I've struck out with women who were nice looking but not beautiful. Some very athletic women won't give me the time of day and others like me. Same idea for brainy women.

Some women I liked a lot told me they thought I was out of THEIR league too. I just liked them for some reason.

I also know some smart, successful men and women who seem drawn to complete losers for some reason.

Personal preferences and chemistry matter a lot.

I would wager that overall it would be men.

Men think they are entitled to someone who is more attractive than they are, and women think they are entitled to someone who has more money than they do.

Mostly men, and a few women.

Woman here, I have known both, the women who eventually can't ascertain their league typically have other mental health issues.

+1 men are delusional about their abilities as well.

Women under estimate the intelligence, ability and looks.

Lots of beautiful women think they aren't that pretty; lots of average looking men think they are good looking.

From the article...

Male hubris, female humility

Despite people’s overall tendency to overestimate their own intelligence, individuals vary. Some doubt their intellectual ability while others greatly overestimate their talents. In general, though, when asked to estimate their IQ, men think they’re significantly brighter than they are, while women’s estimates are far more modest.

Our findings are consistent with those of other studies. Psychologist Adrian Furnham has termed this effect the male hubris, female humility problem. It’s true of many cultures.

They found that men’s ratings of self-perceived attractiveness were higher than women’s ratings; however, looking at others' ratings, women were rated overall as more attractive than men.

According to the researchers, this is consistent with previous research showing that men tend to overestimate their own level of attractiveness while women don’t.

Honestly, its kind of a mind f for women. They can literally open a dating app or go to a bar and sleep with whoever they want. Between this and other women’s over-positivity it makes them think the guy’s they can sleep with are the ones they can marry.

With men, they just don’t get it. Other guys aren’t feeding them bs, they’re just too dumb to understand.
