My state in my sport, one of the top 50 in the country. Just because I suck at baseball, basketball, golf, football, tennis, Foosball, and well, pretty much everything athletic, doesn't detract one ounce from the enormous amount of time and effort (and competitiveness) required to be a cougar.
Yup, I still talk about it, mostly in jest these days. I am certain I tried to use my "athleticism" to pick up on girls, but after a couple of years in high school being the top, and still not getting the beauty queen, I didn't care anymore. I wanted to win no matter what, and it no longer had to do with fame or women. Maybe he got the ladies because of his skills with the lacrosse stick in HS and hadn't translated to real world post teeny bopper life in college.
