Your mate that thinks he could beat a female athlete

they really be like that for real

[WJen]

I used to have a friend just like this. Until one day he bit off more than he could chew challenging this 165cm girl on the court 1 on 1. She beat him 22 to 4 lmao

"I could beat Usain Bolt if you took out running" 😂

[-NV-]

It still fills me with rage to remember when my brother said he could beat Serena Williams if he "tried hard enough"

[weeelums]

No joke, I went to high school with Caitlin Clark. I can confirm that Lachlan definitely cannot beat her 1 on 1 💀

I love people thinking they can compete with pros when they can't even touch their toes or run a flight of stairs 🤣

Real talk: I once saw a semi-professional (3rd league) female basketball player plays 1x1 against some dude who was sure he would beat her. She was much smaller than him, too - like 160 cm, and he was 180 or 185 or something. SHE WIPED THE FLOOR WITH HIM.

This is like all those guys who think they could fight a grizzly bear despite having no training, no fighting acumen, no survivalist skill, no knowledge of bears, and whose only exercise is the inadvertent muscle flex of delivering beer to their mouths.

Great thing about this thumbnail is that you can just change it every time there's a new famous female athlete. Shit never changes.

Once this group of guys in my class were talking about men vs women in sports and fitness/strength in general, and one of them said, "I'm just saying, the strongest guy in this class could beat the strongest woman in the world at arm wrestling. Like I'm sorry but its just facts."

No. Joke. And this group of guys were supposed to be some of the smarter students of our year at the time. The guy was ao genuine when he said it too I was rolling 😭😭

There was a questionnaire a while back where something like 3% of Americans think they could win a 1 on 1 fight with a bear. People vastly overestimate their physical abilities, especially men lol

From 2017...
"An Australian man has launched legal action after coming off second best to a virtual Cathy Freeman in an interactive exhibit.
Visitors to Melbourne’s Scienceworks museum are invited to pit themselves against a simulation of the Olympic 400m gold medallist on a 10m dual-lane track.
When Dean Smith gave it a go in June last year, he ran into a wall, severely injuring himself."

[AriaAsacura]

the same complex men got about beating serena williams as if they hadnt dropped tennis as soon as they left school

[thomasslynch]

Honestly I used to think i could beat any chick at cycling until I got absolutely RINSED by a chick on a social ride. Like she did three laps in the time it took me to do two. I can't believe how fast she was.

[nikkitaclark]

as a general woman, i appreciate this epicly

[sketchysketches]

Watched a video of 3 average guys trying to fight a pro female mma fighter during her off-season when she was out of shape. Stamina control, technique, control, and experience all on her side. After getting tossed around and pinned for like 30 minutes 1 dude still talked shit like he would've won if she wasn't good at those things. That's why she's a pro dawg!

[oliviastratton]

A lot of people underestimate the performance gap between male and female elite athletes. But people also underestimate the gap between athletes and non-athletes.

If one person has been training for years to say, run marathons, the average person who runs a block for the bus occasionally is not going to be able to keep up, regardless of gender.

[iainballas]

I remember a news story about a guy who thought he could take on a lady who was a professional boxer.
I mean, he didn't KNOW she was one, but he found out quickly when she broke several of his face-parts.

[Clawdragoons]

As a woman who's physical fitness can best be described as "technically able to move without assistance", I am certain that I could beat most male athletes in every sportsball.

[SadBirbHours]

I’m now going to make unfair comparisons to the best male athletes and pretend that’s a personal
Win for my own masculinity.

[russellstewart]

I will never forget a boxing match in a garage between two friends, one a stoner and the other an athlete who had weight training and wrestling skills and racquet ball skills. It didn’t take long for the stoner to realize the mistake he had made. But we all insisted on the mandatory 3 rounds as agreed. Nearly pissed ourselves laughing.
