You seem very swept up in concepts like status and competition!
The current injection situation will change many things including having kids - if more than half the population is death jabbed to the eyeballs, then all the sterilised people won't behaving kids. Birth rates are already crashing as was predicted years ago.
Oh yeah, I'm very aware of the birth rate collapse in various countries.
That is part of the reason I was looking at Montenegro because the vaxxxxxx rates are around 50% which is lower than a lot of other Euro countries. A lot of these women who are vaxxxxxxed are learning a very stark reality when guys are sidelining them because they aren't sure if they would be able to have kids or not. It becomes a big part of the equation and has come up in several conversation I have had with my women.
Status is huge and arguably as important as facial structure and height. I have experienced this myself first hand. When you are on a University campus with 45,000 Students and you are 1 of 200 people with a letter jacket on you stick out. It is an unspoken status symbol.
The Bentley is a status symbol. I don't need to say anything about it. Women just notice.
And yeah the competition is huge. What do you think sports are? It is a proving ground to display physical superiority via entertainment.
That is why out of doctors, world leaders, actors, musicians, and top level athletes.......... the athlete has it all. Lebron James is a Billionaire now and he has the height, the look, the status, the money, and he is actively displaying his dominance physically. The world leaders often has lost too much time so their age catches them at the point they are leading a country. The actors and musicians can have solid status but often aren't displaying their physique ........ you can say that Arnold or the Rock sort of tapped into this other component.
There is a reason why guys go International. They might have a height advantage where they are going, 1st world passport status, and relatively rich to where they are going to.
I had to look up letter jacket - that is a good thing??? - I thought that was what nerds wore in crap American comedies
Yeah, it is somewhat of a big deal in high school within that microcasm and then at the major Universities it is a big deal because they don't just hand them out. You have to meet certain criteria and there is usually a ceremony around it within the athletic departments. There are guys who might even be on a team but if they don't play enough or meet certain criteria they might not "letter" so less than half of the athletes will even have them and on some of these campuses there might be 50,000 students and maybe only 100 guys that actually have one. It meets the scarcity component kind of like Bitcoin.
It is pretty geeky then! - does anyone outside of America know or care?
Yes and no..... the NCAA system is pretty unique and athletes get recruited from all over the world. So by virtue of getting their college paid for it is a known accomplishment and if someone is excelling at their sport as a high schooler it could open up an opportunity to come here. The letter jacket itself has microcosm celebrity status within that environment. After the fact it is something that you don't wear again and it is in your closet and I would say that the premise someone was a college athlete at a large university can be a talking point in various realms especially for gaining traction for coaching positions.
There are various levels of status. Someone who is a bartender has a certain amount of status in that situation where everyone is fighting to get a drink. Women might try to leverage an interaction with the bartender to get free drinks.
Or within the sports world there would be varying degrees of celebrity status in local / national level stuff.
If four guys who looked athletic and had Auckland Tuatara shirts / hats on and people were fans of baseball I'm sure it could give them some celebrity status in that environment around Auckland. Probably not as much status as maybe Rugby gets there. But if those same guys came to the United States with that same gear on in a City like Dallas that status wouldn't be as relevant here but they might still be able to partially leverage it with women especially if they had the accents and it is an interesting thing that these guys play baseball in New Zealand and Australia.
Status matters........as soon as people think you are something they treat you different. That is the honest truth. .... they suddenly care about your opinion and what you have to say when they previously could have cared less.
Think about how they will ask musicians and actors what they think about this and that political thing. Why would it really matter what Lebron James thinks about some political thing? STATUS........ people follow him.
Why did Monica Lewinski fuck around with Bill Clinton? STATUS ...... if he was Joe blow dude managing a group of guys digging ditches she wouldn't give a fuck about him.
Baseball - I've never heard of anyone playing that in NZ - just had a quick look - it's very rare
What really surprises me is that surfing isn't on there - I live near a surf beach, and also skiing - that is popular in winter.
We can see Lyall Bay out of the window - sometimes there are 50+ surfers out there
Softball is way more popular in nz but that didn't even make the list
I just went over there to the Australian Baseball League website and I didn't even know this but the Perth Heat made this big Bitcoin push . Whether they knew about my team the California Dogecoin or not is unknown but they probably did because they have a partnership with the American Association and we played some of the American Association teams in spring of 2021 before it seems like they announced all this.

Yeah I don't know. There are a couple professional baseball teams in New Zealand as part of the Australian Baseball League. I have known guys go over there and play.

Baseball has to have some sort of youth involvement at least in Australia.
Why did Monica Lewinski fuck around with Bill Clinton?
She didn't - Bill is gay, just like Killery - Monica was a beard to to cover that fact up.

This is all very American...America is not looking too good!
Have you considered mind, personality, or wisdom?
