Badminton & ***

ayl · 04-30-2002, 08:34 AM

G'day all, now I got all your attention with the subject title, here are some interesting points I have noticed in my local club:

There are more badminton players who are single than attached.

Males outnumber females 4 to 1.

More male players are single and not in a relationship, whereas females players seems to be always be involved in one.

More males play badminton for the enjoyment of sport and competition, whereas females tend to play for fitness and socialisation.

If the male / female are attached, female tend to have more say on how long they should play, whereas male tend to have more say on how she should play.

Female almost always seem to win in an argument with her man.

When there's a dispute on court, female will talk it over to settle the issue. Males ask for a replay.

More females smoke than males.

More males drink beer than females.

Males tend to run rings around female in a mixed game. Female on the other hand tend to worry wheather her partner will accidentally set a shot up for her to get smashed in her face.

During a break, male tend to seek out females for a chat. Females tend to seek other females to group together for a girl chat.

During conversations, males tend to talk about Ti-10 vs MP-100 whereas females talk anything BUT badminton.

Males tend to have top-spec rackets with all the bells and whistles whereas females tend to have affordable rackets that is solid, comfortable and dependable.

Males usually have more than one racket in a bag whereas females generally have one only.

Females generally drink water for fluid replacement. Males drink Coka Cola or other bottled drinks out of a vending machine.

Males tend to dress like they are at home, loose shirt and baggy pants, whereas female dress properly for occassion, track suits and all.

Males sulk, swear, throw their rackets after making an unforced error. Females giggles, smiles or scream.

Shuttles last 15minutes in a male double's game. Shuttle can last an entire set in a female double's game.

Males generally smash whenever the chance arise, whereas female smashes judiciously and accurately.

Male tend to have holes in their sock and toxic smells in their shoes. Female on the other hand looks like they've never wore their sock / shoes.

Females hits more clears and flat drives than males.

Males hit more smashes and stuff-ups than females.

Males tend to give words of encouragement to females during a game whereas females tend to tell her partner shut the hell up so she can concentrate.

Males spend minimal time during toilet breaks. Females generally disappear for more than 5 minutes before reappearing looking fully refreshed.

Males pick their nose and scratch their bum on court. Female flick their hair out of their face and make sure no makeup is out of wack.

Anyone with similar obseravations?

Most of this is true. This made my day.

zero · 04-30-2002, 03:01 PM

OMG!!!....

Then I think I have an identity crisis....lol...

Because "most" of the female descriptions suit me better. And only like 10% of those guy descriptions are for me.
Does this mean I should get some sort of gender change?...

I am not lying, I actually do do what the girls do....hahaha
Or maybe I am just trying to pick up girls.....

TDotSmAsHer · 04-30-2002, 04:38 PM

ayl · 04-30-2002, 06:32 PM

Hmmmm....

I hope the people who plays in my club isn't going to read this - otherwise I am going to take some flak from the ladies tonight!

For information (to all the inquistive mind out there) - I am also single!

Cheers,

Andrew

whizkelv · 04-30-2002, 09:47 PM

The title for this posting should be Male & Female in badminton....
the word *** is so misleading!

cHiCkEnNuGgEtS · 04-30-2002, 10:14 PM

'***' also refers to Male/Female, like the word gender!! heh

whizkelv · 04-30-2002, 11:44 PM

But this 3 letter word is a taaboo for many!

Frosted Frank · 05-01-2002, 05:43 PM

tonten · 06-20-2002, 01:13 PM

I'm a guy, and
I am always flicking my hair out of my eyes because it gets in the way of my sight.

Matt Ross · 06-21-2002, 10:22 AM

How about...?

When a female stands at the front, the male seems to drool over her and the men off court admire her, and when the men show their asses then the girls turn away in disgust and laugh and giggle.

The rest that ayl has said is oh so very true....
