Ok, I just saw a post about a guy who's in love with a girl who's out of his league.
I just broke up with my boyfriend this weekend, and I keep being told (even before we broke up) that I was way out of his league and to stop dating down. Some of those same friends were talking yesterday about how another one of thier friends needs to stop trying to date guys that are out of her league and she needs to settle for something less.
What the heck is this league thing?
Personally, I've never considered myself better than anyone. Granted, I have at times considered myself beneath other people, but NEVER above them. I just don't think that way.
Is it just me, or is this league thing a little silly?
Uhm. I don't know what else you said, but you're single and don't think anyone is beneath you?
Hi. Let me introduce myself.0 -
it's stupid. I wish people were more concerned with whether their partners treat them well, have similar goals to theirs, and make them happy. who cares what "league" they're in if they can check all those boxes.0

When my husband and I first started dating, friends and (some fmaily, but he doesn;'t know any of this) said I was out of his league.
I was always attracted to tall, dark, and handsome. He's blonde, average height (5'7), and *I* think he's very handsome.
He has a heart of pure gold, and I've never met anyone that I mesh so well with.
League shmeagues, the heart doesn't have any.
I heart you so hard!! 0 -

That other post is also about fictionalized characters (Rise of the Lycans anyone?...) and was posted completely for sh!ts and gigs.0

Women love confidence in a man, which is not to be confused with cockiness. I dated a guy for a few months who was constantly telling me that I was out of his league and after a certain point just being a whiny little b***h about it. Eventually it occurred to me that maybe he was right! I broke up with him for much more in depth reasons, but having him beat this thought into my head day and night definitely made the passion die out pretty quickly.0

I like people above me. And below me.
Wait, what was the question??0 -
It drives me a bit crazy when a guy I care for with tells me that I'm out of his league.
Dude. If I am interested, and I want you. You are in my league. Don't bother fighting it.
Unless it's a way to escape my evil grasp :devil: ... maybe that's why they say that!0 -

LOL - not just a distance thing.. Had locals say it too!0 -
Its not just guys, this applies equally well to girls as well. I had a post of how girls let their friends talk them out of going for a guy and one of the main reason given was they think I am out of her league. Its like what the hell, why do they decide what my league is? Shouldn't I decide who is in my league? If I want her, she is in my league.0

According to Barney Stinson, there's always a reacher and a settler in a relationship. Which one are you?0

My whole life, dating, marriage. My expectations were pretty high. But, I'm also pretty outspoken, confident, funny, etc....Never really considered myself the "hot" guy but, I usually had the attention of the hot girls while the hot guys we're over there flexing and talking about their supplements. I've never considered any girl/woman, out of my league. They may not be my preference or I may not be theirs but, out of my league? No.0

This. This attitude is a turn on in my opinion at least.0 -

For me, "league" isn't a looks thing. It's an emotional/mental thing. People who treat each other well, have similar goals, and make each other happy are in the same league. People with very dissimilar work ethic, priorities, hobbies, and emotional/mental maturity are usually not in the same "league."0 -

Reminds me of a French proverb: "In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek".
I think the "league" thing is a male construct. I very rarely see a man start a relationship with a woman who is not his equal or greater in physical attractiveness.0 -
If you think that's bad, consider this.
I'm totally out of my own league.
I just wan to point out that this statement goes exceptionally well with your picture and made me laugh :P0
