I agree with the above. If you want to apply the leagues metaphor, everyone notices when someone's looks are in the pro leagues, but they fail to consider that someone's personality might only be Junior C.

A lot of people would happily settle for AAA looks and a Junior Major personality, over say Junior Major looks and a Junior B personality.

Sadly I peaked as a Junior B in looks and beer league in terms of personality.

I don’t understand what any of that means. :lol:

A couple liters of Steam Whistle Pilsner would greatly improve your comprehension.

I sometimes think I'd probably be an incel if I raised the bar a bit higher


Well, even if you were an incel in practice in such a scenario, you wouldn't have to identify as an incel, or join any such community. There is always that. :skull:


Incel is a condition-involuntary celibate. You can be one and not identify with the ones who post online. Not identifying as one doesn't not make you one if you are in that condition.

C is lower than B, B is lower than A, A is lower than AA, AA is lower than AAA. Junior Major is higher than any of the previous tiers and is often a pipeline towards playing pro.

Baseball has a somewhat similar system, but no longer has anything ranked lower than Single A.
