[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women will overwhelmingly choose soccer/baseball/tennis players over XC superstars.  Think of it like this:  XC is like a violinist, while soccer/baseball/tennis players are like lead singer/guitarist.  You can be the most famous violinist, Joshua Bell, play the most difficult piece at the metro station and 99% of the people would not know who you are.  On the other hand, if you are Shawn Mendes or Bruno Mars, play the guitar and sing at the metro station, the women will mob you, for good reasons.  FWIW, Joshua Bell played 45 minutes and got $32, LOL.... In summary, XC is for losers.[/quote]

You are making such strange references.  No high school soccer or tennis player has any more cachet vs a XC runner.

It’s football and basketball…then far behind that baseball…then there is 10 miles of shit and there is every other sport.

In no universe is a high school tennis player considered a rock star.[/quote]

At elite private school, tennis players are rock stars.  Tennis players do not hang out with Football & BB because most of them are poor.[/quote]

wtf are you talking about?  My kid attends an elite private school and tennis players aren’t anywhere close to rock stars.

You sound foreign so now I understand your absurd viewpoint…you are referencing a group of rock stars amongst the losers (who play tennis) vs the actual rock stars.

Who are the rockstars? Fat football players?[/quote]

The kids that will go to D1 Power 4 programs and some turn pro.  Have you seen the physique of the QBs, RBs, wide receivers, safeties, cornerbacks (do you even know what those positions are)? The basketball players also going to Power 4 schools and turning pro (super popular kids at Sidwell BTW).  The STA baseball pitcher that throws 95 (and is the football QB).

Why is it not a single one of the “elite” private school tennis players amounts to anything past HS? You know the answer too.[/quote]
