Which sport in high school do consider very tough, but did not get the respect is deserved?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Which high sport deserves more respect?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Soccer man. You gotta have skills, and have cross country like stamina.
I agree, gymnastics is actually the king of sports and the foundation for such extreme versions like parkour where people do the craziest athletic feats imaginable. If you look at the top parkour guys like "founder" David Belle...they are all accomplished gymnasts who simply adapted their skills to the streets.
Any other athlete attempting these feats, like doing flips off 2-story buildings, would kill himself instantly. You have to have a high level of skill, coordination and fitness to even do the basic moves in this sport...without getting seriously hurt.
You can't say that for other sports.

Kerpal said:Wrestling.
Wrestling was not one of the choices and already garners enough respect.
Although wrestlers in high school probably get teased for rolling around with other guys on a mat. (I got made fun of by some friends). Those guys have my respect though, they are GLADIATORS.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I'm a varsity baseball player and I only get little respect... pretty funny cuz I bet 90% of the school would sh*t their pants if they had to stand and try to hit a 80-90 MPH fast ball or try to catch a 90 MPH line drive or grounder. You also have to deal with constant sh*t talking from everyone while wrestling, golfin and track everyone is QUIET... But I do give respect to wrestling just like MMA you have to be in pretty decent shape to win games.

soccer,
I spent one year in actual training for it and I thought that I was going to die after the first practice.
After running about the first five miles, I stopped feeling my legs. I have mucho maximo respect for anyone that does that for years.
I do love the sport though and wish that I could do it again. now I am starting to learn to ride a bike again.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I paid $150/month for 9 years to swim.
But I don't know why that's relevant.

what about hockey. baseball players get a splinter and there out for the season. football isn't that tough theres a wistle every second. hockeys a real mans sport. the fights, they jump in front of a puck flying at them at 100 mph and if they break something they get it froze and their back on the ice.

Amen. Hockey is the manliest sport on this continent, EASILY, behind football.Oxide said:insanity, please stop talking before you lose all credibility.
Hockey is tough, but football KILLS IT.
Swimming is for pússies though.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

credibility means jack to me on a forum. hockey reigns surpreme for toughness. i like football and watching the patriots win last week was an awesome comeback but them jumping onto the field early was a little lame even though they are my fravorite team. props to brady for wheeling in gisele bundchen

Well from my EXPERIANCE unlike you guys who are ALL TALK and don't know JACK SH*T who should just STFU cuz it's so obvious you don't play COMPETATIVE SPORTS (sry but doesn't include PC games or DDR) the toughest sport is FOOTBALL, RUGBY, MMA (includes wrestling) and hockey. I did COMPETATIVE SWIMMING the training is the hard part cuz it's all mental and since it's not a team sport YOUR in control of everything, but unlike the other 4 sports I mentioned swimming, baseball lol gymnastics (not a sport.... just like NASCAR and Cheerleading) don't have to fight through PAIN they get while playing. Whoever said baseball is for pussies is a joke cuz you haven't gotten hit by a 90 MPH fastball and the only time you sit out is when you have something broken, I get splinters every practice do I cry about it... No... u tool.

seanchai was a competitive swimmer for nine years. I myself was an All-American (100 breast) in swimming in high school.
If anything, swimming gets TOO MUCH respect.

Too much respect in what?? Do the swimmers in your high school get celebrated nearly as much as any other sports?
Jesus dude, I remember the 6 am practices and then the after school 3 hours ones. May be it was just my coach (our team was undefeated every year), but I killed soccer and tennis when I played that too. Football and hockey and wrestling I can vouch for because i've seen their training
THe inherit question is stupid as well - what do you mean by more respect? How are baseball players already not respected? I mean in any schools its football - basketball - baseball so how does it need More respect?
When was the last time you went to a cross country meet or a gymnastics meet?
