| Topic: Out of your league | |

I've never considered anyone to be
"too good" for me. When I think of someone, as "out of my league", it's generally someone I wouldn't want to be seen in public with. |

This topic would be better aimed at teenagers. I’m not sure many adults think this way. If they do it’s a lack of confidence and doesn’t say much for society. If someone thinks they’re too good for another human being it says more about them than their unequal.

..........and it's funny even as a teen (IME) crossing the clicks was prevalent; as a curiosity, taboo, novelty, or to piss parents off. |

I would suggest that the old idiom of "out of [my,your,his,her] league," is essentially just a slang way of saying something FACTUAL, which is sometimes/often misused to do something else. Such as to vent resentment, illustrate depression, or cover for other problems.
There is a very real and common situation where two people are not a good match, based on lifestyle, expectations, and overall philosophy. Example, the problem of wealth disparity does NOT come from the MONEY, it comes from the difference in how each person looks at the world. The person who has always had a lot of money, can't comprehend the pain, the worry, the sense of personal value, and all sorts of other concerns relating to money, that the poor person has to deal with. And vice versa. It's neither person's "fault" that they can't understand each other. In the same way, someone can be "out of your league" because of the social circles they move in commonly, which you can't fit into for a variety of real reasons. Inability to carry on a conversation with any of the person's other friends and relatives can be a big problem, for example. Where the idiom SHOULD be used, is in situations that match where it came from. The sports analogy it's based on, is that someone can be just as good at the game they play, as another person, but owing to the fact that they are literally not in the same sports organization, they can't play against each other. Where it SHOULDN'T be used, is in situations where the REAL thing being covered up, is prejudice, segregation (which can be based on a LOT more than race), and so on. NO ONE is out of my league, when it comes to rights of individuals to live, and no one is out of my league when it comes to each of us deserving respect. But TONS of people are out of my league as mates, for all sorts of very good reasons, just as I'm out of THEIR league. Simple test: if you can reverse who is who when you're saying the phrase, then it's probably accurate. I'm out of your league, AND you're out of my league, BOTH have to be equally true. Otherwise, it's probably just a pig-headed insult. |

However, there is still Right and wrong!!

Out of your league
is simply a cultural communication shortcut people use, the context of which is defined by the relationship of the people having the conversation where it is used. Big difference between: "Dude, she's soooo out of your league,ha ha." "Ew, I'm way out of your league, please go away." "You're so out of my league, I don't know why you're with me." It's not really worth taking idioms out of the context of the specific conversation, which defines it, trying to make it into an absolute, universally applicable ideal like the 2nd amendment or the 5th commandment, turning it into some means of global absolute spiritual or doctrinal edification. |

I'm just wondering if I would end up being in "A" ball league. I know there's no way in hell, I'd be close to the "Majors" or "Minors". So technically, I guess I'd be in a league of my own, since "A" ball is technically considered a form of the Minor league for Baseball. ⚾
