    Ie: saying she/he is out of my league. why isn't everyone accessible to everyone?

    I agree. Why do guys reject girls just because they are overweight ...


    not all guys reject girls who are overweight

    When I was in high school (and most of college, actually), I played into the "out of my league" thoughts ... Looking back though I think that I just lacked confidence in those areas.

    Looking back there were a lot of girls who would flirt with me, but I brushed all of it off as "they're just being nice." it wasn't until college where it began to click (with the help of friends who would point things out to me)

    Now more than ever I have bought in to the thought that I can get and deserve the best (really not trying to sound arrogant, just realizing my own great traits). :)

    "great traits"... now if by that you mean the abs in that picture, i'd say yeah... those count! :wink: (and i'm a happily married woman)

    Because just because someone can play t-ball doesn't mean they're MLB ready.

    I think I am out of certain peoples' leagues. I may get a lot of flak for saying this, but if a guy doesn't take care of himself, eats like crap, never works out, doesn't care to dress well, doesn't shave/shower regularly, his apartment is a dump, never does his own laundry/washes his sheets, has had the same dead end job for four years, isn't in school and plays video games all day...

    then I am COMPLETELY out of his league.

    I want a man who leads a lifestyle similar to mine, or it'll never work.

    People like to think in terms of superiority and hierarchy.

    But realistically, being in someone's league is more about living the kind of life that would mesh well with theirs.

    IE: fit people want to be with people who value and support their dedication for fitness. Geeks want to be with people who value and enjoy their geekiness. Not that those are necessarily opposites, but just as an example.

    Oh absolutely not! It's really more of a feeling that I shouldn't settle for anything less than I deserve, and if I really like someone, that I should be confident and not sell myself short or get into the mindset of well "that person would never like me!"

    I believe that we all have really special qualities, and I'm open to meeting anyone and learning about those qualities ... And that those qualities are so much more than superficial characteristics ... Qualities that exist deep in the cores of our being.
    So then do you believe all but the most amazing women are out of their league if they approach you?

    i guess essentially its a way for people to protect themselves from anyone who may cause rejection and pain... i think the roots of it probably lie in social classes...
    the idea that someone wouldnt want marry below their station socially/economically has evolved to be applied to looks only reversing the judgement and guessing who wouldnt want them...

    Some claim that social class has gone from modern society, that we have moved beyond class boundaries, maybe this is what it has become a much more superficial version of itself, based on looks and popularity... i dont know just a theory... i personally still believe social classes to be a big thing in society today - i am middle class, i have middle class values, i strive for a middle class job, i am attracted to middle class men because they share my middle class values and understanding, and can equally support a middle class lifestyle


    (if you hadnt guessed by now I studied psychology and sociology :smile: )
