My experience as a tall wimp growing up is that tons of guys specifically try to mix it up with you. This continued right up through (and maybe especially) college, where I could not walk through frat row at my Big State U on the weekends without some idiot with a Napoleon complex trying to show off. Usually was easy to get out of those situations, but in many others physical altercations was literally unavoidable.
I guess that what I am saying is - don’t feel like you need to make up stories to hide being a short guy. I am sure you have many other positive characteristics to offer.
I smoked weed throughout high school, didn’t really drink until my senior year. Played baseball and basketball but guitar was my real love. Hung out with the stoner, skater, musician crowd.
Also, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t even trying. He probably could’ve knocked me out if he wanted to. I was like Homer when he fought Drederick Tatum by the end. Probably could’ve had a conversation mid-round if he wanted.
I’m gonna be disappointed if this doesn’t lead to 100s of posts dissecting what “good” means relatively.
me saying I’m a good boxer would mean I’m 70th-ish percentile whereas the regional amateur champion friend would be like 99.9th percentile (despite my promise I stuck to my main sport basketball because they don’t punch you in the face there)
Supposedly when make black giraffes turn black like that, they aren’t fertile anymore but are still dominant and prevent other males from breeding. Which is why the parks cull them.
Not saying any of that is right. But that’s what the hunt people say.
I can’t find anything to back up the infertility though.
The discourse helper was like “are you sure you want to bump this thread” and I was like “discourse helper I will whip your ass” and that settled that.
In pro sports people are so used to hyperbole and/or speaking in relative terms, this or that player is trash and terrible, but the worst player to ever play in the NBA is one of the best of the best elite players to ever walk the planet. So “pretty good” is just, eh, decent, not bad.
Also, in the context of that thread I was trying to convey how boxing drills are fun and a great workout.
