I see, interesting.. and you feel changing from a simple bracketing system, to a more involved one where everyone competes against every other would solve that? I'll have to think about it.

@rat_attakk

@crunklord420

wow you must really be a horribly broken person if your so desperate for confirmation your still talking even when you know what you are saying isnt even being red... sad, very sad.

I hope you find some happiness one day and get past your issues.

@icedquinn @meowski

@icedquinn

I was thinking more in terms of team sports.. one on one sports really dont have an issue that needs solving as far as I can tell.

@rat_attakk

@meowski

Must be great living in a world that is that simple.. wish it were more than a fantasy, would make my job much easier.

@icedquinn @crunklord420

@crunklord420

Sorry, I really have no interest in reading anything you have to say that doesnt start with an apology at this point.. waste energy on replying all you want but be warned ill mostly just read a word or two, roll my eyes, and move on. Not because of your opinions, but because of the pathetic way you express them.

@icedquinn @meowski

@icedquinn

hmm, yea that would probably work out, and you'd probably in the middle somewhere get mixed sex teams as a result.

@rat_attakk

@meowski

I remember a few people adding some good points and then a bunch of morons who cared more about some religious or obnoxious agenda and prejudice than facts.

I dont remember which one you were, so likely didnt say anything new or remarkable

Also that conversation and post was not about primary sex characteristics, it was about sex, as a whole.

@icedquinn @crunklord420

@icedquinn

Is that suppose to be a solution to calculating a distribution (in that sense I'd agree it works) or how to create multi-sex teams? in which case im not sure how it solves the problem as you would likely see men out ranking women without a normalization factor.

@rat_attakk

@rat_attakk

I've directly responded to every one of your comments. if you want to storm off just cause someone doesnt agree with you, go for it.. buh bye.

@icedquinn

@crunklord420

I wonder if you realize how pathetic you look when you talk like that.. probably not. You sound like a nut job who is so messed up and miserable all they have left in life is to try to troll random strangers they dont know and hope someone for once will at least acknowledge you...

get a life.

@icedquinn @meowski

@rat_attakk

No what i am saying has a lot of important nuance you missed, most notably that we are talking about professional sports leagues that represent on the best of the best of each weight class.. we arent, obviously, talking about just taking two random people from the population, weighting them, and then telling them to compete.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

Its not due to added boyancy, as a professional diver i can tell you that wont help you here since many of these women are still dominating the non-weighted categories.. meaning boyancy would work **against** them since they need to swim down before they swim back up.

If it worked how you suggest then all the winners would be super fat dudes who just tie a bunch of weights on themselves, hold their breath, sink to the bottom of the ocean, then untie it and pop up to the top like cork, lol.

@rat_attakk

@rat_attakk

What does the average body fat of the sexes have to do with the discussion? We are not talking about average members of society, so average numbers tell you nothing about the topic we are discussing.

you would have to compare the body fat percentage of the top performing athletes in the same sport and see if there is a significant different to really have any useful data.

I'd imagine you'd find sports where low body fat results in superior performance men and women at the top of their respective leagues would have more similar body fat

@icedquinn

I should point out there are sports which are complete sex neutral where women hold world records over men or even the majority of world records over men. Though they dont tend to be the sorts of sports that rely on running or power.. free diving is the most notable one dominated by women

@rat_attakk
@icedquinn

@rat_attakk

Not really, no one is stopping them from continuing to do womens league if they wanted to in addition to a mixed league.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

Any ideal solution in my mind wouldnt give women any sort of special adjustments. weight class is probably one of the best normalizations I could think of but I dont have any real data to say how well it would work, or any data to suggest it wouldnt work.

@rat_attakk

@rat_attakk

So? I never once claimed women are **overall** going to be superior to men in much (only area i know of where they dominate over men is total distance traveled, particularly extreme long-distance hiking over the course of months)...

We are talking about after weight normalization, which none of the records you just mentioned take into account.

@icedquinn

@rat_attakk

a woman isnt wasting energy on producing milk or a child if she is an athelete, she isnt pregnant at the time. The resources arent being diverted there.

That said they are probably likely to be smaller chested as tends to appear to be the case at least. but that likely has to do with being low-fat overall.

@icedquinn

@rat_attakk

Being distributed different just means women will be better at some parts, men better at others, for the same muscle mass.. A woman might jump higher and a man might run faster, therefore women and men would be suited for different positions on a team. But ultimately if their muscle mass is equivalent they should have comparable performance if your considering across the spectrum.
