Happy oinking together, huh?! Well, it's not such a bad idea after all!

"Out of my league" = incompatible with me.

I have never heard a woman say that someone is out of their league (unless it's a "celebrity".) I have always heard men say "I married up". I've never heard a man say "I married down." And, I've never heard a woman say she married up. It's always the men. So, if all the men are marrying up, who are the "down" girls marrying?

I've not thought of any men as "out of my league." Has an icky ring to it. Now of course, there are men who I consider datable and not datable.

That being said, if you're walking around thinking that people are out of your league, then it's pretty much a self-examination moment more than anything. I mean, would you date you?

Hell no. I'm not gay.................

I always tell my wife she's way out of my league. Does wonders for her ego.

Nuff said. This was excellent. I agree.

I prefer one who is a league of their own, and is down right sexy about it.

"out of your league". A good first warning sign is that you find it difficult, if not impossible, to find common interests; or if your lifestyles run at different paces. If he or she is that way, then you two won't have anything in common anyway - even for friend material. If you still feel a strong pull toward him or her, then that's NOT your sensible side speaking - that's just sex hormones trying to hijack your brain. Best thing to do is to look for a moment, admire, and move on. You've got better things to do with your life than getting hung up on people who aren't emotionally or psychologically compatible with you.
