Track Doesn’t Count
I go to a large university, so it can be hard to meet people in class. Luckily, I had a couple of small discussion sections one semester and hit it off pretty well with a guy in my Shakespeare class. We decided to go on a date to a local cafe.
He and I had nothing in common outside of liking Shakespeare. He only talked about weightlifting and “bulking up.” He started berating me for not weightlifting and asked what sports I played in high school- I was a cheerleader and ran track, which he said “didn’t count.”
I can run a half marathon, know all sorts of elaborate jumps, and I’m pretty flexible… but no, those aren’t sports. Story credit: Reddit / coldsandovercoats
