Help[Opinions] Re: Angel
in reply to a message by queenv
Angels aren't necessarily good and sweet, there are some pretty mean angels in the Bible. So it's not like they are all perfect, in a long white gown and better than mere mortals. I don't think it denotes perfection at all.
I personally think it's okay as a name. I know one and it works on her.
I always think it's weird when people say someone is 'out of their league', especially for physical reasons. There are so many attractive people out there who have unattractive partners. Maybe you meant because of her looks and personality.

You are knowledgeable enough to know that there are mean angels in the Bible, but most people, when they hear the word "angel", think of white gowns, halos, and perfection. This is the reason that the phrases "You're an angel", and "He's been an angel" are common, and that they mean "You're wonderful\generous\kind" and "He behaved perfectly." And I really don't think that anyone, when giving the name Angel, is thinking of any of the mean angels in the Bible, or that most people, upon hearing the name Angel, would think of them. I think that most people aren't even aware of them.
As far as my use of "out of her league", I did mean that based purely upon physical reasons. It's been my observation that most people date and marry people who are on a par with them physically, though, of course, there are exceptions. I've known a few people who never dated because they wanted a "ten", so to speak, and didn't realize or wouldn't accept the fact that they themselves were "threes" at best and were highly unlikely to get a "ten." I know it's brutal, and I don't like it, but that's the way it is. Angel was one of those who was a three and wanted a ten. Also, I knew my best friend, who was an average looking man, and I knew some of the women he had had relationships with and shown interest in, I knew that he could get a more attractive woman than Angel, and, most importantly, I knew that looks did matter to him greatly.
I remember that when Angel first expressed interest in my friend, I stressed the fact that he was a heavy smoker, because I knew that she hated smoking and being around smoke. When I told my friend that I had done this, he said, "Thank you."
