...at badminton. You wouldn't think this possible. I am bigger, faster, stronger and more athletic. I play basketball 2-3 times a week at the fieldhouse and more than hold my own. She is 5'2" 120 pounds, and I am a 5'10" 195 pound man, yet she kicks my ass. Sure she played badminton in high school, big deal, she's a little girl afterall. It isn't like I take it easy on here either. After she won the first two matches against me (again) yesterday I went all out and decided that I would try to embed the shuttleCOCK in her forehead if that was what it would take for me to win. Final score 21 (her) - 13 (me).
So I do a little Google search. Turns out in high school she was 2nd on her team in singles. Big deal. She went to HS in the Chicago 'burbs so she was in a fairly decent sized school, but still. Then I read on in this article that they had 90 (NINETY!) girls try out for badminton. This is hard for me to fathom coming from tiny English Valleys (North English, IA) HS where the 90 girls trying out for badminton is almost double of my graduating class.
I admit, it brought me a bit of relief that she must be a pretty good badminton player that she could finish 2nd out of 90 playing competatively, though I still feel like a giant wuss.
Focus: What can your significant other do better than you that they have no business beating you at?

Bowling.
First of all, I am terrible. I probably average around 90. Secondly, her family is into bowling big time. Her dad grew up above a bowling alley and actually almost went pro (gave up his dream after having kids).
Needless to say, I provide everyone a good laugh when I go with her and her family.

Eh. Bowling isn't really a sport though. I mean sure it requires some skill and bowling balls are heavy, but it is hard to work up a good sweat and there is no running/jumping/quick reaction etc. Plus you do more sitting and drinking than actual bowling. |

This is mine too. Bowling. I average a 113, she hasn't played forever, but used to all the time. It must be like riding a bike because she whoops my ass every time. |

Fair enough. My wife is a runner - ran a full marathon this past fall. I almost passed out last week after running 3/4 of a mile. She could kick my ass in a foot race. |

My Girlfriend dominates me in being imaginary, She is the most gifted person at being imaginary I have ever met, it is unreal.
We sat around one night getting drunk competing against each other in being imaginary, and I know this is hard to believe, but my incredibly gifted girlfriend stayed imaginary the entire freaking night. It blew me away. I wasnt able to be imaginary for even 15 seconds.
I wondered to myself a couple of different times that night if she had ever been real.
THAT, my friends, is how freaking good at being imaginary my girlfriend is.

It doesn't matter, badminton isn't a sport. I'm sure my wife could kick my ass in knitting, braiding ponytails or applying makeup, but I don't give a crap about those either.
