Not sure I would go that far, but general consensus I've read through the years is that at least the top 300 destroy her.

Has VerlanderBeast posted in this thread? He has had some gems on the MSB about Rousey/MMA chicks v males. Look, I think Rousey would pummel most clowns on this site who weren't D1 football or wrestlers, but he says some ridic shite about her arm barring NFL linebackers.

Remind me, how's ole Danica been fairing in the Sprint Cup Series standings the last few years?



I don't think that has anything to do with her being a woman. She is a good driver. She is not a great driver.

She has won an Indy race in the past and she does have some top 10s in Nascar. She is capable of competing.

Women are pretty good at ultra endurance sports.

Also I saw some stick fighting videos where it looked like being smaller and lighter was an advantage. If they had a small sword you'd be shredded to ribbons before you could blink. Can't seem to find the videos now though.



They also kick arse at freediving. I don't know if that's been mentioned. I'm not sure how much that's considered a sport either, though.

Was he the one seriously saying she could take Floyd Mayweather?

Asking the best female to compete with the best male in any sport is too much of a feat.

How about can members of the OT play better than a women's college bball player.

I could hold my own for sure. Not saying I'd beat Semoine Augustus, but the average college bball chick I can hold my own.

And I'm an average intramural player.

When I was on the tennis team at LSU we use to think we could take the womens team. Although, we werent your average team. We had 3 guys 6'5" plus, two of which were all-state in basketball. We also had a guy who was 6'0" that was really really good at Rummel. I would have been Johnny Hustle on defense

You probably would have. Tennis players are in insane shape and are athletic enough to make up for less experience playing basketball. And obviously you're men so you're quite literally bigger, stronger, and faster than them.

ETA:

Actually, you definitely would have beaten them.

I dated a chick in HS that went on to play for UT when UT still had Summit and was winning Championships all the time.

I was an above average HS bball player (All State), but I would regularly own her in 1 on 1. It was like I was playing an 8 year old. And she set all kinds of LA girls HS bball records.

One of my roommates was on the "scout" team or however you'd like to call it for the LSU women's team. It was a team of decent guys for the girls to practice against.

Years back when I was just dating my wife, she had this idea stuck in her head that she could beat me in a 50 yard foot race.

She ran a little track in HS and is an avid runner/exerciser now. I am kind of out of shape, average speed for a guy, and agreed to wear my house loafers and had on golf shorts. She had running shoes, yoga pants, was stretching and shite before, etc.

I beat her by like 10 yards.

She has never brought it up again

Female gymnasts on the floor exercise, balance beam, and parallel bars.

What I do know is that female gymnasts, track and field athletes, swimmers, and bodybuilders are all complete and total sluts.

It's just basic biology...exercise makes you horny. And these chicks all get plenty of it. Especially the gymnasts and the swimmers.

Notre Dame has it. They get some of the better pick up players around campus, and they practice with the women 2 to 3 times per week. They can clobber the women if they go all out, but they're usually requested to play a certain way to prep for the next opponent.

The Women's 4X100 record time seems pretty remarkable, though.

Ultrarunning is the only sport in which men and women are comparatively equal.



The gap closes, but it's certainly not comparatively equal. For example, the male winner at Western States last year was almost 4.5 hrs ahead of the winning woman.

Chrissie Wellington could compete against men in Ironman and had multiple top 10 overall results in major Ironmans, but she was a huge outlier.
