Out of my league
Many people still frown at the thought of dating or romancing someone out of their social class/league, as they believe the concept of being unequally yoked applies.
Do you think people should only date others who are their social equals?
Yolie, 26:
I think that some men must only look for women in their lanes. And it’s not to sound like I am better than anyone, but I work in a bank and am presently going back to university, so I’m looking for someone who is educated and working a nine to five, not someone standing at a corner rubbing out his hand middle.
Carla, 35:
I am open to meeting new people, but in terms of building a relationship, I have to find someone who is in the same league as myself. Some of these men don’t even know how to hold a good conversation.
Ace, 38:
I am from a poor family and I have done well for myself because I had ambition. So if I met a woman who earned less than I did and came from the ghetto, I see nothing wrong with being with her once she has ambition.
Darrell, 28:
I think that the women who bleach out themselves and go to every street dance and have kids with every man they meet should stick to men who also bleach and go to dance and don’t use condoms. It’s as simple as that.
Bianca, 30:
It’s a sad scenario, but true. I couldn’t see myself being with a man who isn’t going anywhere in life and isn’t making any plans to do so. I couldn’t see myself being with a man who rides a bicycle to work. I’m just not a sit-on-bicycle-and-get-a-ride-to-work kind of woman. Nor am I the ‘live in a tenement yard’ person.
