I can remember the first time I really felt "out of my league."

It was a weekend during my college years when I made a road trip to visit a high school buddy who was attending an Ivy League type university. Talk about feeling inadequate! I was nothing more than the son of a Navy Department electrician and I attended a commonplace urban state university in California. I hadn't been schooled in Paris or skied the Alps or visited the Isles of Greece. My family didn't own an internationally known trading house and my uncle didn't sit on the President's cabinet. I felt very out of place among all the wealthy, confident, well bred, well dressed, beautiful, academically gifted inhabitants of the dorm my buddy lived in. No one ever belittled me (at least not to my face) but I knew I had no business hanging with that crowd. My friend and I gradually drifed apart after that weekend.

Yah. Out of my league.

Are leagues a personal choice or imposed by society? Both.

Do you think that you are out of some leagues? I used to, when i was much less confident and more insecure; I don't anymore. I don't think 'leagues' truly exist.

Do you use exclusions for your own league? No.

Do people think like this and why? Yes, because almost eveyrone wants to think of themselves as special, thinking that some don't deserve you is one way of going about this.

Am I asking too many questions? Never.

Should I STFU now? Depends. How much is it worth to you for me to say no? :biggrin1:

I don't think anyone is necessarily out of my league. I feel that I've got enough to offer to compete on some level with anyone else.

On the other hand, there's a good chance that I'm out of yours.



I'm kidding, I'm not that conceited and even if the above is more or less true I wouldn't phrase it that way and be serious about it. But there are plenty of people I'm not attracted to, perhaps in large part because I feel I can do better.

actually it's been proven that people tend to be attracted to what is familiar to them. so if a person is uncommonly attractive they may not be attracted to people who arent' on their "level"
but that makes me wonder what level am I?

It's not a choice I would make...

Do you think that you are out of some leagues?

No.

Do you use exclusions for your own league?


No.

Do people think like this and why?

1. If they consider themselves better than others it's their way of feeling superior.

2. Some people aren't confident about themselves or their abilities so they assume they're out of the league of others who are.

Am I asking too many questions?


If you have to ask...

Should I STFU now?

See above. :biggrin1:

This is an interesting concept.

Are leagues a personal choice or imposed by society?I think it's a lot of both! We are born into a certain class systems and go to various schools and clubs that are part of them, But someone born at the top of the food chain can wind up at the bottom, and someone born with little or no monetary advantages can wind up at the top.

Do you think that you are out of some leagues?Maybe the Windor's I don't know?

Do you use exclusions for your own league?I think everyone does if they are honest with themselves...I think we all have empathy for someone less fortunate...but we don't necessarily invite a homeless person home for dinner and a soft clean bed.
On the other hand people at Country Clubs can be the most hostile people to each other, all while having beautiful manners.

Do people think like this and why?I think it's an "old money" thing

Am I asking too many questions?No

Should I STFU now?
No... keep on truckin!
