So much fallacy here. First,
leagues exist.
I don't care how awesome you think you are, if you're a 5/10 by aggregate metrics women find attractive (looks, wealth, status, fame, game) and she's an 8/10, she's out of your league - meaning - you won't be able to get 8/10s with any regularity until you get on that level.
So, keep telling yourself 'I'm the prize' in the mirror every morning, but if you're not REALLY the prize (although you may be able to fake it to some degree with game), she'll eventually see through it and find someone who is. If leagues didn't exist, some fat ugly basement dwelling gamer should be able to pull the hottest pvssy with the 'right attitude', right??
OP - let's look at the metrics by which men are judged again and what you mentioned:
looks - you said 'out of your league', so that's out
wealth - you said no money
alcohol/coke - you said none and these can artificially boost your 'rating'
Which leaves us with:
game
status/fame
So, to answer your question, anyone who scored out of their league BASED on your prerequisites either had:
-tight enough game for her
-high enough status/fame for her
-got lucky (in the literal sense) - right guy, right place, right time
Now, I think I have hooked up with a handful of girls a little 'out' of my league in looks, but I'm fairly good looking so it wasn't by much and the rest compensated.
