When you say that you only find people who are “out of your league” attractive, you’re basically saying that you expect the person you want to date to hold themselves to a higher standard than you are willing to apply towards yourself. Essentially you feel entitled to a partner who will work diligently to be the person you feel you deserve, but you’re not willing to do the same for them.

There are two solutions to this problem: either you can put in the effort to raise yourself to the same standards that you expect from others, or you can lower your expectations.

Stop blaming made up “leagues” for your problems.
