Why do you say that? Do you actually believe that there’s a strict hierarchy of dating that everyone has to stay within? The whole “leagues” BS only sorta exists in society because some people believe in it.

Reminds me of a story my French teacher told me in HS:

One year he organized a class trip to Haiti for his students. Weird, I know, but it was a wealthy private school that could afford A) to send a class abroad and B) the security to reassure their parents that they’d be safe. Anyway, in the class there was a “plus-sized” girl who would get picked on by the rich skinny girls all the time. Queue the trip and apparently it became such a issue for the girl getting cat-called on the streets that a guard was assigned to be with her 24/7. None of the thin, fit, SoCal circa-early-Naughties, girls had this problem but in Haiti being “plus sized” meant you had access to lots of food and were wealthy. Anyway, moral of the story (and this part is apocryphal but was nevertheless told to me) is that the girl at some point exchanged contact info with a guy she met there, one of her prospective suitors, and kept a correspondence with him for many years until they were able to save enough money to meet in person again, here, stateside where they eventually got married. Eye of the beholder.
