This actually might explain a lot.
I'm an enormous geek. I admit it. You don't get through a degree in physics, minoring in biology and mathematics without being something of a geek. You don't then go on to do a PhD. in physiology and biophysics without developing a further layer of geekdom.
And yet, I'm now rapidly approaching the two-year mark on a relationship with a young woman who, two years ago, I would have described as "waaaaaaay the hell out of my league; no, scratch that, playing a different sport."
Suffice it to say, I'm in pretty deep smit. But that's pretty understandable from my end of things. Women who are funny, intelligent, beautiful, and will voluntarily hike 75 kilometers with 50 lbs on their backs are rather hard to come by for some reason. Drews, on the other hand, are pretty dime-a-douzen-y. I think a buddy of mine from my Kung Fu class phrased it best: "You're never gonna find another woman like her, so don't screw it up."

The problem of course being that
geek != ugly
So the title of the article saying "ditch the pretty boy, grab yourself a geek" is absolutely insulting. I have met plenty of pretty boy geeks, and plenty of geeky pretty boys. Wait adjectives are associative O_o
In any event, I don't think it is fair to say that "she" is out of your league, as this is a self perceived inadequacy and does not mean much to anyone other than yourself.
Though I must admit that you are playing another sport, but that is a general truth about Dru and the rest of humanity, not at all specific to "she".
