I think the concept of leagues just overcomplicates things. I mean, it's terribly subjective. You could try to quantify it in some capacity but there's just so many factors at play.
Plus, why would you even want to? Not terribly romantic, is it?
Sorry, I'm only a level 3 attractive, whereas you're a level 6, so we cannot be!
What are we even doing here, folks? Yes yes, we're all brains controlling this thing we call a body. There's a bunch of stuff going on in here, ooo primal urges ooo.
People with certain traits are attracted to people with certain other traits. Yes, we know selection is not entirely random.
What are we achieving by dwelling on it, though? Fascinating stuff sociology wise sure, but day to day? I mean what, when you kiss someone are you sat there thinking about the scientific reason we do so? I doubt it. Because instead you're in the moment, living your life.
As you freaking should. I know a thing or two about overthinking. Probably why I'm benched and not in the dating game myself.
Still, looking in - so what if you strike out? You tried at least. Besides, feelings go away. Crushes fade. They go back to just being a regular person and you look at them sideways and think - pft, I thought that person was attractive? What 18th century poet temporarily possessed me to make me think that? Anyways.
You can analyse things from a sociology perspective, sure, but practical application? Could drive you barmy if you let it. My days.
