Legitimately Irritating or Completely Innocuous?

[PlatypusPrime]

I was browsing my Twitter timeline last night and came across this tweet from a sex blogger I used to be a big fan of:

 

Vixoen: Question. How do I tell a guy I've been on two great dates with "you're awesome but I'm out of your league"?

 

Now, this isn't the first time she's expressed this kind of arrogant, snobby, elitist sentiment. As a matter of fact, I stopped reading her blog ages ago partially because of this sort of viewpoint. But now that I've actually unfollowed her on Twitter as well I'm wondering whether I'm overreacting a little bit and I wanted to get some other people's opinions on this.

 

My stance is that there is no such thing as "out of [his/her/your/their] league". People can be different, and those differences can make a relationship ill advised sometimes, but the reason that the relationship won't work is never actually because one person is better than the other (which is what "leagues" imply). And I just find the entire situation to be sad and infuriating, because this girl bitches and moans constantly about wanting to find love but then she's willing to completely discount someone who might truly make her happy and be perfect for her just because of income or social class or something.

Well it's just unfollowing her on Twitter, it's not like you're going to track her down and teach her a lesson. 

 

 

Although, yes, she is a very unpleasant person.

I know unfollowing someone on Twitter isn't some huge deal. I wasn't trying to make it sound as though I thought I'd done something super harsh in response to her tweet. Only that it didn't occur to me until after I'd unfollowed her that perhaps I was overreacting, and I figured I may as well see what others thought about "leagues".

i think your just angering yourself, forget about her :P its not like you actually know her.

 

as for leagues, i think its total BS

Its kind of a snobby attitude, but the internet is an anon place, and I guess that was just her thinking. I dont think thats a good way to think, but everyone has different opinions. the thing about unfollowing: its not a big deal. If you want to get her tweets, re-follow her, but if you dont like them, then unfollow. unfollowing is not a huge fight starter. its just unfollowing.

 

its ok. :) id have done the same.

You did right. That comment is disgusting and deplorable. 

[Cassandra Deanna]

I'd have to agree with your stance.  The idea of leagues is ridiculous.  People are so much more than their job or their family or their social class and to discount them on things like this instead of who they really are hurts people and stands in the way of great relationships that will never be because people believe this idea.  We are all people, none of us are inherently better than any others so we are all in the same 'league' so to speak.  This is just one of those ideas that us Nerdfighters must combat. :) DFTBA.

You take a knife.  You slam it into your kidney.  And then you say "you deserve better".
