In a just world rtm135 would be forced to play a shadow game in which he must beat every single one of these women at Chess or be banished to the Shadow Realm
same energy:
I think people in general don't appreciate how fucking hard of a game tennis really is, along with the misogyny.
There's no way in hell 12% of the respondents even play tennis with any regularity lmao
I think people just regularly overestimate their abilities in all sorts of things they've never or barley tried. They simply don't know how hard it is since they haven't. That plus sexism for this attitude
Pfft, I could absolutely do that
Assuming she was 10 minutes late to the game and the umpire let me start without her
If I say I can beat her will I get the chance to play with a world class athlete? I've never played tennis.
When I first came upon this question years ago, I was like "A game of tennis goes for like 3 hours, surely I could get a singular point in that time, if she faults"
Then I was informed "winning a point" means winning a set, so I revised my answer to "Yeah absolutely not".
Maybe some of that 12% had the same thought process I did, but even then that's a ridiculously high number
Winning a point does just mean a single service, and it's still true. Tennis pros only fault because they're playing on the bleeding edge of their game to beat their peers. Serena Williams can play at 50% of her capability against you, never come close to a fault, and wrap up the match in 30 mins.
Horrible taste in men though.
I guess relying on your opponent to fuck up isn't a reliable strategy unless your opponent is the US government.
nah, he will get one attempt per month in the gulag.
