While Marissa is a very lovely woman, we think that in the area of guys, she deserves much better. Her standards need to be much higher. I asked her if she was still dating that kid. His name was Loser (name changed). (hehehehe). She told me she was. I responded by making a face. When she asked me why, I responded decsisively, "Loser is a baseball player," Figuring this would end the debate. She responded with the question, "What's wrong with that?"
That question would prove to be the easiest and hardest question I would ever answer...
I kind of gave her a blank stare. I didn't think I would really have to explain myself. I assumed that it was just common sense. She told me that Loser said the same thing, and "Lacrosse players think their better than us." I responded by saying that this was completely ridiculous. We know we're better than them. I asked her if he was a nice guy, she responded with, "Yeah, do you think I would date a jerk?" I had a few comments about her last boyfriend, but I will save this until later. The bottomline is, the idea that she believes that he can be both a baseball player, and a nice guy, is a complete oxymoron.
To most of us laxers, the idea that girls we like and respect should date lacrosse players just seems like common sense. But to others, this is not the case. This is why we are writing this post. So here it is ladies, this list, is the best dating advice you will recieve. EVER.
Why All Chicks Should Date Lacrosse Players
Reason #1- We Work Harder
Lacrosse is just a more physically demanding sport. It's debateable whether either takes more "skill" (but I think we all know which one does), but it's pretty obvious that it takes more agility, strength, speed, endurance, and coordination to play lacrosse. It takes more work to condition for lacrosse than most other sports, definitely all spring sports. I also see more lacrosse players training during the offseason, whether its weight training or skills training (For example: wallball) than any other sport. During the game, our periods of concentration and physical activiy last longer than baseball's. A fielding play requires maybe a few seconds of physical movement, and an at-bat (which only happens to each person 3-4 times a game) is the longest stretch of activity for baseball players. Going head to head in a ground ball scrum requires more work ethic, physical conditioning, strength, and hustle than anything in almost any sport I know (especially baseball).
Reason #2- We're Better Looking

Compare and decide for yourself
Reason #3- Lacrosse is More Exciting
When you come to your boyfriends game, do you want to watch an hour-long game filled with speed and excitement, or a 2-hour-long boredom marathon? Seriously, lacrosse is just more exciting, and much more interesting to watch. I am not making it up when I say that I know parents who got their kids into lacrosse so they wouldn't have to sit through baseball games. (True Story).
Overall, you'll find that we're just friendlier, more likeable people. Remember my comment about another one of Marissa's boyfriends? Let me tell you a story. I was hanging out with a group of friends, when I decided to call Marissa's boyfriend (I had never met him). Here is the call, without exaggeration:
Lame-O (name changed (he. he.)): Hello?
Tim: Hey Lame-O what's up?? I'm Tim, Marissa's friend!
Lame-O hangs up.
Bam. Do you know what sport Lame-O played? Basketball. In all my years of phoning up my lax bros, they have never hung up on me. EVER. I think that truly displays which athletes have more character.
BAM!
