League

"She's out of my league" 

I've always wondered, what is a league? And what in God's name determines which league you're in?

I googled the word "league" and I got this: 

1. A division of persons or things by quality, rank, or grade: bracket, class, grade, order, rank¹, tier.

Is it a looks thing? Coz if that's the case I totally have a league... I will not date a man that is hotter than me. Yes, I am that vain. If, lets say I am a 6/10, the man I date has to be a 6 or a 5..if you're a 4, you probably don't have a shot..no offense...

Is it an education thing? Coz if it is, then boy...that narrows down the number of men a girl can date innit? If its an education thing, then it means the more educated a woman is, the higher she goes in the ranks. Putting it in army terms:

A high school certificate = A Sergeant

A college/ diploma certificate =  A warrant Officer

A university degree = A Lieutentant

A masters degree =  A Captain

A PhD = A Major

I myself am a Captain, and I think I date a Sergeant...I think..

Is it a background thing? Coz if it is then alot of us are in the wrong leagues. Our background usually refers to how you grew up. Which school you went to. Its basically all about your parents money. And judging someone by their parents money is well..daft. There's people with rich parents that go no further than becoming a Sergeant. Yet there's people with not so rich parents that go on to become Majors.

I don't know about you but I think putting people in leagues is kinda shallow.
