She's out of your league!!!

Doesn't this annoy you so much?

I was just hanging out in a friend's room and made a comment about how nice a friend of her's looked (I saw a photo on her wall) and she said, 'oh she's out of your league.' Maybe it's just my ego going into overdrive but isn't that a massive diss and pretty rude to say TO someone?

In any case, she wasn't that good looking and I think I'm definitely at least on a par with her in that respect!

Do you say this to people? Does it annoy you when people say it? Am I a grade-A idiot? :P

nah, he was being an idiot. Not necessarily looks either, she could've been an ambassador's daughter or something... tell him that his sister wasn't (out of your league)

I dont say that. What 'leagues' are there? You tell ur skank friend that u could pull that ho faster than she could get any guy. Maybe she was jealous and just likes u

listen, that statements *******s. im not that good looking, have a beer belly, too lazy to excercise etc yet i still have the prettiest and nicest girlfriend out of everyone i know... this league business is just perception, if you and the girl get on really well then theres always a chance. . .

It was a girl who said it.

I don't know if she likes me - i don't think so... we're living together next year so probs not.

Yeah I thought it was a bit off to say... i'm not that bothered as she's a nice girl... just curious as to whether I was right in thinking it was a bit of a weird comment. She did say afterwards how her friend could get any guy in Portsmouth (she lives there) so I got the impression maybe she was just bigging her friend up, tbh!

Interesting how you say looks don't matter... my friend has the most unbelievably hot gf (also v nice, intelligent and well brought up etc.) and he's no looker ... very nice guy tho! :smile:

to be honest, the girl who said that to you is either really insensitive or the sort of person you dont want to be good friends with. and if the girl you like is the sort who only cares about looks you want none of that either ! exactly, im a guy and ive got tits. i mean come on ! my girl cant be loving the A cups, hence looks arent important.

You've got it made. Respect.

Girls who only care about looks are so unattractive. It's often the mediocre girls with inflated egos who act like this - truly beautiful girls tend to be more classy and less image-obsessed :smile:

You ought to play them both, you mate won't suspect it because of her judgemental nature and the other is in Portsmouth.

exactly, btw, your location are very classy ! beautiful girls, truly beautiful are often so flattered by a nice guy just being open & honest (most are either too afraid to talk or big headed and arseholes) that they are v bothered about personality and not looks.

everybody is in everybody's league. why don't people EVER get that? you have as much chance with a good-looking girl as much as you do with a supermodel. OKAY PEOPLE? I guess it's just cos their standards are higher or something...but seriously, the league thing is ridiculous. You like a girl, go for her if you know she's available and vice versa fo a guy.

That's a silly saying and I'm surprised people still use it. I definately don't believe in leagues. The more I live and get to know people, the more I find I'm attracted to guys I never would have guessed before that I'd be attracted to.

I think the whole 'league' thing is based on the assumption that ppl go for ppl that are similar to themselves e.g. in terms of attractiveness, confidence etc. It IS less likely that a girl who's smart, hot and confident guy would be attracted to a guy who is slow, ugly and unconfident...but it's rarely that straight forward in real life. I guess the whole 'league' thing depends on ppls interpretations of what is 'attractive' etc.. Of course it's possible that a pretty girl will go out with an unattractive guy, or a confident guy can go out with a really shy girl...happens a lot I think. So don't let it bother you.

I think that comment's out of order. She doesn't have any right to say who's out of whose league! It's a stupid expression anyway, as others have said before me. You get loads of 'unlikely' couples on the babsis of personality.

bit of a knee jerk wasn't it? I guess it's hard to say, but I don't think that throwaway comment was meant to hurt.

Sure, it's not a very nice thing to say, but sometimes friends get weirded out when there is a possibility of two friends hooking up because then worlds collide!

Still, it was rude, but don't take it to heart.


I echo.

Hmm... I went out with a consul's daughter for a while. She wasn't anything special.

Doesn't anyone think that maybe she could have been joking? If a friend of mine said something like "wow shes hot" about a really attractive girl then I might jokingly say "in your dreams" but it isn't mallicious and loads of people in my group of friends do it and everyone knows its a joke. So maybe she wasn't being serious

Don't worry about it. I was told by everyone this lass (older and much more attractive than myself) was out of my league, got told not to even talk to her cos she'd think I was an idiot. I thought for a moment, said "Well I have nothing to lose then do I?". Walked up to her, got her number within two minutes, and was on the back row of the cinema with a more experienced, attractive girl snogging my face off the next day! Much to my friends shock and jealousy...

Just go to show that anything can happen... If you fancy her, just go for it. Like I say, what's the worst that could happen?
